Cool. Thanks for that. I would say I'm a better complainer then I am a talker or communicator, is that ok? I guess I will start burning my Equipment now. That's a joke.

I understand, the music is one thing but the promoter must be informed on how this is truly a money making deal.

OK, more questions please. (If you don't feel invaded by all this.)

Have any of your bands ever had a manager that did all this "talking" for you? And if you did what was the result?


Me:

The last couple bands i've been in (and my band now as of a couple months ago), have all been self ran. No management. I've had the luck of being in a band where there was one guy that was the smooth talker of the band.

Having a manager in a band is a good thing to do if none of you are the most persuasive people. You really gotta have someone that is assertive and clever as to charm (or outwit) whoever it is the band is dealing with for whatever reason. But don't get the idea that the manager gets anything to do with your personal life, I learned that in my first couple bands. Strictly professional, but doesn't neccessarily need to be a tight ass attorney looking fucker, lol. Anyone, that knows how to deal business with people and get what they want.

Personality kinda depends on you guys I guess though, you pick you like or get along with. Just as examples, heh.
