Maybe you should all seach my back ground before calling me a ""beginner" who can't take insults. You might find a slightly differen answer. It's ok Brandon, You don't need to defend me, the majority of the people on this site will be like that regardless. Thanks brother. lol. Beau P.S. -- Beau Bretz is my birth name -- to the idiot who called it ficticious. Wow. I hear about twice as many assumptions than actual facts. Haha you guys are all funny.

If you're spending your time working on the songs or learning to sing on pitch, I'm going to be a lot more forgiving. But these guys are just whoring themselves out on myspace... "Look at me! I changed my name & I have 1000 plays per day! Quick! Someone take a photo of me! I love it when people take photos of me! Look at all of my poses!" Maybe part of the reason no one can seem to find anyone who can write a song that resonates with listeners is because well intentioned "industry types" are out there trying to polish turds. An eager beaver with a "good look" does not make for a worthwhile musical act. Believe it. Maybe music just needs to be taken more seriously.

When I first got started making serious records, I got ripped by a real pro who did it in the spirit of making me rise to the occasion... not beat me down to the point that I never put myself out there again. people bitch and moan all the time how no one can seem to find anyone who can write a song that resonates with listeners; maybe that might be because NO ONE takes the time to develop people’s skills.

He put himself out there. If you want to play crappy music, go for it. You don't have to be good to love playing music. I support that completely. Just do it in your bedroom. Or in your garage. Or at some shitty all-ages venue. For the love of god, don't do it at Guitar Center. And certainly don't ask me to listen, even if it's indirectly through KOAR. If "Beau Bretz" (what a ridiculous fictitious name) is ever going to get better, he's going to realize that he sucks & has a long way to go. Egos need to be deflated. He'll thank me in the long run.

You first develop your act, get your shit together, and THEN try to get everyone's attention. You got 1 shot. Not more. Just 1. Dont mess it up!
