What was the impetus for creating this video? Where and when was it intended to be shown, and to whom?

It's part of an EPK--electronic press kit. The thing you send to promoters to try to get them to give you a gig. So basically every underpaid casino booking agent in the US. edit: not "bookie" though probably them too.

I sadly don't remember where the depositions are from when he sued the rest of the band but if their side is true, dude is crazy.

A big part of my business is live gigs, so far this year we've designed media for / promoted and booked maybe 120 gigs. Those kind of videos are useful to help judge how and who to pitch a gig to, so basically if you are a booker you'd look at that and take things away like the number of records sold, countries played in and to be honest the rest of it my mind glazed over. That video in particular is an eye roller though, it's just pure rock star ego nonsense which is OK when you're dealing with retro rock stuff, you kind of want these people to be a bit like that, it's what fuels their performances and makes them what they are. That video was 10% useful and 90% self indulgent bullshit, which helps dictate their genre as 'old rock crap'

Need to make sure he's got enough zazz for all those moody sax solos. Also it helps to know he can jump at least 3 inches into the air (heh... love that).

I jammed with a couple of guys in a Joy Division cover band a few times for a project that didn't work out and the bassist earnestly told me, "Some nights, we totally channel the original band" I just looked at him, but 1. No, no you don't, 2. Even if you think you do, have shame enough not to say it out loud, and 3. Most of the original band isn't even dead yet

Cover bands are the Civil War reenactors of music. edit: ok this is sort of stupid but maybe not? During the height of the Gibson Robotuner craze they released versions of their guitars that had a piezo pickup in the bridge and you could twist the pickup toggle switch's nipple to blend with the piezo signal with the normal pickup signal. I thought that was a fun idea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://reverb.com/item/2483858-gibson-es-les-paul-blend-2016-sunburst-piezo Dang It Bhabhi! fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Feb 27, 2020 |

This actually made me curious and his acoustic ended up in the Las Vegas flagship location ...that they just tore down because nothing can stay in Vegas for more than a couple decades.

Nowadays for me it's either Spotify daily mix number one or two that the algorithm made for me. One is death metal and two is trash metal (and iron maiden somehow). It took forever but I think I finally trained the ai to get what I like
