and I'd love to give it to you, but I've been busy. I traveled back home and went to my friends wedding. I also got a haircut and shaved, so I can infiltrate society.
I was at a show and was talking to a musician about about knowing what songs your fanbase likes, and if you knew people in Bumblefudge, Kansas really liked "You Look Like Your Pet," you could put it in your setlist when you play there.
My concern though, is if you keep playing those songs, you'll get sick of them, and, as a musician you will want to expose new, and different songs to each other.
I remember being at the Coventry Festival for Phish, and all people wnted was to hear Fluffhead. For the past few years people wanted to hear Fluffhead, but Trey wouldn't play it. What's up with that? Of course, Trey ruined Phish. Just kidding, but he definitely went mental.
Here is an interesting article entitled "11 Steps To Fixing the Problem That Occurs When You Work Harder Then Everyone Else in the Band."
My suggestion- Let them tell you that you are not good enough, and then become more successful without them. In reality, if the people aren't willing to invest the time in *EVERYTHING* that is involved with being in the music business, they don't really care. Anyone whose attitude is "I just wanna play music, I don't need to deal with anything else" will get left behind. Or live off their parents. Either way, would anyone actually want to be that person?
