I can't resist stuff about Misha Mansoor/Periphery because they are so far away from what I enjoy that I consider their success absurd. Anyhoozle I was reading some interview: https://thehub.musiciansfriend.com/artist-interviews/misha-mansoor-talks-signature-peavey-invective-120-amp-gear-more When this caught my eye: Musician's Friend lool posted:The HUB: Was the invective.120 an expansion on the amp you were using or a combination of some others you had used? Or did it just come to you as something that you haven’t seen out in the world? I couldn't believe this guitar nerd icon isn't selling enough records/merch/signature products to still be living in an apartment. Lo and behold from another inteview: https://www.metalinsider.net/news/periphery-guitarist-misha-mansoor-no-ones-selling-any-records-anyways-now-its-all-gone-its-all-disappeared Metal Insider lmao posted:How do people that are in guitar bands… What do they need to do differently nowadays than they did 20 years ago? This is a touring band that has 4 studio albums and a strong international fanbase and homey has to gently caress with an attenuator so the old lady in 2E doesn't call the cops again.

Periphery isn't something I'd regularly listen to, but I first heard of them when I saw them open for Deftones several years back and they were surprisingly awesome. I usually couldn't give a poo poo about most opening bands, but they were killer live.

That's pretty hosed, do Periphery have a road crew or do they do all of the sound/set-up poo poo themselves? I can see if they have a crew they could essentially make nothing, but if it's just them on tour that's ridiculous. Also now I know why Buckethead tours alone with a god drat iPod.

i don't have too much sympathy for the periphery dude not just because his music blows but pretty much every band that makes music for dorks has day jobs, and that was the case even back when people were buying cds and poo poo i remember richard christy talking about how he still had to work construction when he wasn't on tour with death because even they didn't make enough money to live off of

You can definitely make good money playing whatever nerd music but not just by touring. You have to offer and be involved in everything industry related. Albums, YouTube videos, merch, pedal/amp/etc comnections, lessons. It’s a different world and I’d like to think we’re seeing it get to a better place now after years of unfortunate struggle.

On tour at the moment with an evertune-equipped guitar and it’s changed my life, I straight up haven’t had to tune at all during the set and we’re doing our long set at the moment. Feels good man. I still broke a string though so apparently my acidic sweat is still an issue. Re: periphery, they’re the poster boys for how to have a career doing nerdy as gently caress metal imo. Each of the guys has a bunch of different revenue streams (horizon devices, peavey/Jackson/Ibanez/prs sigs, VST drums/amps, mixing, soundtrack writing etc etc). I don’t like periphery at all but they all have very smart business sense and seem like very nice guys. Also I learned a shitload from nolly’s episode of nail the mix so I do recommend yo

Making money selling yourself as a hired gun is always going to put way more food on the table than almost anything original you do unless you...
Mostly because, in the 8 hours I'm in there, I only have like 2 hours of actual work, so the rest of the time, I actually either practice guitar/violin, write music, check taxes, learn a new language, polish my programming skills, etcetera.
