Guitar Players....What do you play?

[Emrys]

Well, that's great, except:

a) Maybe I don't want thousands of screaming fans, just a few people who really get my music (bebop worked this way, just to let you know), and

b) Who gives a shit what a loser like Fred Durst thinks, anyway?

If anything, we're the real musicians here. I mean, not wanting to appeal to the masses is nothing new... Look at Miles Davis. If nothing else, you've just demonstrated that you don't know the first thing about music.
I mean, if the record company I work for in the future says: "Hey, you gotta change your music to make us more money," I'll just say: "Fuck you," give them the finger and find a record label that gives full artistic freedom.
If I end up with my biggest concert being a 400-person crowd, then that's fine. I mean, Flogging Molly tour that way, and they do fine.
I don't want super-stardom, I just want to do what I love.
If that means ending up homeless and alone, then so be it. More writing material for me. I'll be laughing at you in your limo from the comfort of my cardboard box, because in my eyes, I'll have everything I need, and you'll be some sad sap who has to convince himself he's happy everyday.
