Garage Bands, Musical Influences & You

Current mood: thoughtful

How many of you are in a band?
I'm sure that by now people have come to you and asked: "What are your band's musical influences?"

I began to wonder if a band must always be influenced by another...and my thoughts were;

 

:no: HELL NO!! :no:

 

It wasn't untill I started playing in a band that I realised the musical creation process isn't confined to a musical genre but to the emotions and feelings of the person creating it. I know the whole "feelings" thing sounds like "Soap-Opera crap" but it's a true fact. So you don't always create a sound or write  lyrics that sound like the music you hear.
 
From now on I leave the labelling to the Music Recording Companies and the Media.
I sound the way I want to and you don't like it unless you don't want to.

I kinda agree with you. It's like, music flows from the heart (smthing like this). you can't control it, unless you take a day to work with scales and use maths to compose a music, but that sukz...

My music doesn't sound like anybody... mainly because I'm crap lol... (sob)

Nah, I'm not that bad, and I agree with Guitar Newbie, it's just a matter of feelings. Thing is, I'm too cathartic: once I've written something, it just becomes a cliche to me.

Should maybe write an article about it....

It's goog to be influenced, but music lacks originality now. Just play what you want to play, how you wanna play it.
