I just became a Premium Member to become as powerful as Andy...

[Nitronium Blood]

... but I don't feel powerful. What could be wrong?

I expected a studio to magically appear from thin air and that I would have all the knowledge of a successful producer in the metal world.

Damn $15 down the drain.

 

[MR NINE]

Oh!
You forgot that you should played in a band handling a sword! Only that way it would work out. Know its too late!
Eh, eh, eh!

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Rats! I should have been properly informed about the secret catalyst: The sword!

 

[dill_the_devil]

If you aren't aware of the sheer metalizing power of a trusty blade, you aren't worthy of that power.

Hang your head in shame.

What are the benefits for being a paid member anyways?

 

[MR NINE]

Look! You have a sword!!!

 

[Ermz]

. Oh god, so tempting to put that in my avatar....

@Splastik: The usual... your own webspace, url, an email address yadi yadi yada..

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Oh lord! Oh Lordy! Hahahahaha! Thanks for that. That rules!

Make sure to thank James. I think he's more in need of groupies...

Speaking of which, it was really funny the other day. We were outside with our lecturer, having a smoking break and we saw the lead singer of Spiderbait pull up into Metropolis studios (accross the road from our academy) with a whole LEGION of groupies/hang-ons. The lecturer then proceeded to laugh and tell us that the best thing we, as future engineers, can do is avoid that whole thing. Apparently he has a heap of engineer friends who hang onto bands and hope to get work, but all that happens is they get used as chauffers.

 

[Andy Sneap]

groupies!!!! where??? I've got a red snapper waiting Zep style!

 

[elmuchoescadawg]

can you get engineer groupie, you know the sort that ignore the band and mob the tech??

 

[James Murphy]

[elmuchoescadawg]

And im sure if she keeps on asking eventually you will give in??

well, i've been in the UK and Sweden, back and forth since a few days after that .... anyway, one has to be on tour generally to get many groupies sniffing around. besides, i don't there's really all that many "groupies" around our type of music anymore... but that my friends is as deep as i care to go into my sordid past... or my sordid present for that matter.

I can't quite place the 'red snapper waiting Zep style' reference.

Hey hey ... I'm just a fan of one of the world's best producers.

Im sure you can probably tell the same sort of stories that the rest of us who and toured or working in rock and roll can, whether its as a tech or a musician there are only so many ways the same things can keep occuring..... or are there...
