CAT rear end now!!! posted:Buying expensive things IS making music. The music industry is a Freemason conspiracy. Right, so like, the Masons yeah? They put loads of money into bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and Iron Maidens to be rockstars and millionaires right? So then we would all want to be like Jimmy Gilmour and Bruce Halford. So after they spent all that money into making people rich and famous to make us want to be rich and famous, they made musical equipment really expensive so that they could make all that money back from us buying their really expensive equipment because we wanted to be Rock Stars. Alternatively: gently caress you Gibson.

Sure, it isn't my place to tell people how to spend their money, but every time I see a bar band that play 6-8 shows per year with Orange fullstacks, I make sure to head the opposite direction (or I risk extreme boredom). Spend your money on recording and promotion. I was in a three piece that toured, and I think our equipment collectively cost about $1000. Many of my friends have been in similar positions. Yes, but what's the point of recording if your musical equipment gives you a poo poo sound? The benefit of musical equipment (recording or otherwise) is a game of diminishing returns (at a hugely accelerated rate!) but I would argue that there's no point whatsoever in trying to record a Squier Strat plugged into some piece of crap, $100 practice amp.

Every riff that I ever came up with in the shower ended up being a riff that some other band has used.

They're basically saying that their cover of Queen: "I Want To Break Free" is the best song they've ever written.
