What keep u continue playing in a band/music

^ what he said :D

u are ur music...not some musical genre tag thats used in music stores :D

and i seem to have the faintest feeling that u're writing that post coz u have been insulted by someone who said nu-metal is cock
 
Haha.....I'm sure everyone gets that feeling of quitting some times.

But we all carry on I think because of our love for what we do and what we wanna do. There are always somethings that suddenly pop up and we remember why we started playing or performing in the first place.
 
Why I play in a band:

1. I love music and I want to be a part of it
2. I want to be a rockstar
3. I want to have fans & make a difference to their lives
4. I like to perform in front of people- I'm an attention-whore
5. I love my bandmates like brothers
6. I want to spread my thoughts and messages to a large audience
7. I want to make a difference through my actions rather than my words
8. Playing tightly with other musicians is a pleasurable thing
9. I look forward to hearing an audience sing a song I wrote for myself in my bedroom
10. I want to prove wrong the people who think/thought I can't do it
11. I want to make a difference to the local music scene, which I am rather fond of


more reasons i'm sure. I find new ones every day.
 
And just to add on to 'VISA' list...he should also try to improve his written english....The heading of the post is so terrible.
 
at first, the one that keeps me continue playing my guitar is personal hatred towards someone ... that dissed me off saying im not talented at all ...

but 5 years have past ... and now im playing guitar to share to the world my personal feeling that flows through the guitar ...

hehehe, since i have gone this far .. i always have a mindset not to backoff and reach for the highest ... and now ... the think that make me continue my guitar thing is that i want to build up personal style of playing the guitar... hehehe with the lack of theory ... juz striving to get what i wanted.
 
I continue playing in a band(however lousy we are) because it's just so much fun.

It's really as simple as that.
 
playing guitar? passion and a form of relaxtion.

playing in a band? the musical orgasm when you solo. ITS LIVE!!!!!


yeap those are my 2 main reasons.
 
i f***** up my studies because of music - dont get me wrong, it has brought me a lot of joys as well as heartaches

BUT

given a 2nd chance - I would have concerntrated much more on my studies instead of the guitar....
 
I am in a rather new band, even though our progress is slow and however lousy we are, i still love playing with the band, its the love/bond in it i guess, and all the fun.

"Quote visa"
10. I want to prove wrong the people who think/thought I can't do it

For me too, there's a particular person who just keeps criticising our band and thinks that we're damn lousy and thinks really highly of himself/his band.
But i told myself/my band, we accept all his criticism silently, we improve and prove to him we can make it.


Great thread by the way! :D
