Too many gigs?

Too many good bands, gigworthy, so organizers give them slots. And their friends will turn up. But very few bands are really that great. IMO!

Oh and one more thing: There are too many threads and posts that are purely garbage on this forum.
- Baseless speculation about whether bands are coming to Singapore, the kind of setlist that those bands should play.
- Flaming of other bands and/or Softees.
- Musicians from different schools. Use your own school forum. ( This one is debatable of course, but who wants to enter a thread and have no clue about what's going on)
- And so many more!

Please, stop wasting bandwidth and start helping James save some money.


You got that right brother! Maybe we should start a thread just on that!
 
Since when there is a school forum?? Maybe in secondary school, but not my poly..

I was hoping this place would get as lively as The Pit, sans the dirty talk, but most people are so uptight here so nah, don't see it happening anytime soon.
 
dude , its a free website .

dude, just because it's free for you doesn't mean nobody needs to bear the cost of having the site. you think the hosting server just let James waltz in and put a forum up here for free out of the goodness of their hearts?

haha. i find it unlikely.
 
yes bro zax. Someone has to hold this forum up. And talking doesn't do it. $$ does. We're in Singapore remember?
 
maybe Singaporean teenagers between age 15-20+ has mindsets on the bands they've look up on

they dont want to pursue studies, they want to be automatically rich and famous like 'american' musicians, but they forgot that this is Singapore, there's not a big career in music for Singaporeans.

Most bands in gigs are just doing covers.

so whats the point of paying to listen covers while we can listen it at home with high quality speakers or headphones?

so, if youre planning to be in a gig, try making/writing your own songs instead of covers
 
I personally prefer Live cover band or watch the bands itself to play live.

i love paramore live! haha. And also cover bands covering them. Some are bad , some are good.

and oh, soft.COM.SG is not free. hehe. Soft is a registered 'company'.
 
yes , we salute the veteran soft people , you people are great . you were the real deal with awesome guitar or drum skills whatever you niche is
 
=zax

No need for all that sarcasm and angst, all I'm saying is that before soft had the banner on the front page to request for donations, this place was supported by the few advertisements and James. No offense.
 
=mrforum

Im pretty sure its even harder to make it in America. Lots of bands to compete with, but I guess thats the thing that drives bands to work harder and stand out.
 
James is a nice guy, and i know he means well but no offence sometimes i think we need to let loose a little. no point getting so worked up and bothered over little things.
 
"
you don't and won't know how's it feel to live my day ..."

That quote from you seems almost, gasp, emo.
Gosh I hate it when people say that. Nevermind.

The point is, there's always going to be something new to complain about. Not enough gigs become too many gig, why no support, why too much support, how come my skinny jeans starting to be tight around the waist but loose around the crotch area, etc.

Just relax, do your part, take a chill pill, don't overthink, and maybe read a book or take up a hobby like stamp collecting or shooting birds (legally)
