Purely hypothetical, of course: consider not having land and a home stage and nobody wanting to book you. Now wouldn't that be a challenge, business modelly speaking? No-one wants to book me because I keep showing up late, unshaven, and stinking of gin.  It's artistic expression, I tell you. _________________ Silas Scarborough Silas World Tour Blog Find a place to play and I'll roll the P.A. anywhere If you want to play, bring yer guitar Back to top Doubledown Tandino Joined: 07 Sep 2007 Posts: 1684 Location: Second Life Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 11:37 am    Post subject: we can hear your unshaven whiskers scraping against the mic .. .and your shows are so quiet too... and every show I've been to of yours you say you're burning down your RL location during the show.... but I'm not so sure that is true cause i never hear in the news about a SL user in the hospital due to 1st degree burns (note to new readers... this is sarcasm, and silas' shows actually rock HARD!!!   ....

Thanks for the plug!  I know SL people need rock about as much as political speeches but that's ok.  I like doing it  It was funny last night, tho.  I wasn't expecting many people at Eden but a bunch showed up so I don't really know what the variable might be as the bluez guyz (Komuso and Bluez Preacher) were going head to head and that usually means empty chairs everywhere else. _________________ Silas Scarborough Silas World Tour Blog Find a place to play and I'll roll the P.A. anywhere If you want to play, bring yer guitar Back to top ticious Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 2600 Location: Chicago Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 12:10 pm    Post subject: Silas Scarborough wrote: I know SL people need rock about as much as political speeches but that's ok.   And that just SOOOO ain't true!!!  I need my semi weekly dose of Silas Rocking the ROCK!!!!!  And I get as many hits as possible in between!!!! But I did make sure everything at Rocky Shores is coated in flame retardant, made extra copies of everything and locked them in a safe and took out LOTS of extra liability insurance (to cover the cadav . . audience members who might be standing in the wrong places at the right times). _________________ Joy is in the ears that hear - Saltheart Foamfollower - The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Back to top hexx Joined: 28 Nov 2007 Posts: 386 Location: Rastafairy Beach Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 12:46 pm    Post subject: /me looks up, interested, little flames glowing in the depth of her eyes and trying to hide a suspicious grin. _________________ blog | the sixtyone my other bike is a broom Back to top Silas Scarborough Joined: 04 Sep 2007 Posts: 1635 Location: None Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 1:58 pm    Post subject: ticious wrote: Silas Scarborough wrote: I know SL people need rock about as much as political speeches but that's ok.   And that just SOOOO ain't true!!!  I need my semi weekly dose of Silas Rocking the ROCK!!!!!  And I get as many hits as possible in between!!!! I'm guessing this is where I should say ignore what I said in the other thread about not being neurotic! Well, maybe not entirely neurotic.  My perception is that SLers if given the choice of an acoustic act or an electric act will most often pick acoustic.  Do you think that's true?   I'm not trying to start a fight with anyone as this subject really fascinates me.  How is it that the musical needs of the SL community are so radically different from RL, as in completely upside-down.  Electric pop/rock remains the staple in RL.  Same with new country (as in electric but little, if any, whining pedal steel guitar stuff).  There's some electric blues happening but usually these are in open mike nights in ribs joints.  There's classical happening but mostly just on one FM station on the dial.  There's a teenie tiny bit of folk going on but that's about it. Note:  I'm talking commercial stuff.  Whatever you'd hear on the radio, supermarket, doctor's office, blah, blah. _________________ Silas Scarborough Silas World Tour Blog Find a place to play and I'll roll the P.A. anywhere If you want to play, bring yer guitar Back to top ticious Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 2600 Location: Chicago Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 2:41 pm    Post subject: I suspect it may be the fault of the venue owners hiring musicians going for what they personally like or maybe what's easy to find?  The absolute plethora of acoustic musicians (there are easily a dozen acoustic musicians in SL for every electric musician)?  I dunno.  But it's definitely NOT a lack of appetite among the SL audience.   BTW, Silas, I have decided that Rocky Shores is ALL electric except special events.  The acoustic stuff will be at Cascadia Harmonics.  I made that decision before the reopening.  The Rock was built to RAWK!! _________________ Joy is in the ears that hear - Saltheart Foamfollower - The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Back to top Sally Silvera Joined: 08 Nov 2007 Posts: 754 Location: at a music venue.... probably Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 2:42 pm    Post subject: Silas Scarborough wrote: My perception is that SLers if given the choice of an acoustic act or an electric act will most often pick acoustic.  Do you think that's true? Not at all sure it it! There's plenty of folks out there who love to hear more than accoustic folksy stuff! Also evidenced by the audience numbers at more "rock" style gigs (disclaimer: that's the ones I've seen during my waking hours of course). But my perception (could be misconception of course) is that there are a lot more accoustic acts around? And for what's it's worth, I'd love to come to one of your gigs again, but you mostly keep very different hours from me. _________________ my "shutter bug"  (c Grace McDunnough) adventures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallysilvera/ my myspace: www.myspace.com/sallysilvera Back to top Doubledown Tandino Joined: 07 Sep 2007 Posts: 1684 Location: Second Life Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 5:38 pm    Post subject: I'm actually surprised how large the acoustic following is in SL, and the 'singers-only' following.    I'm just saying that I would think most styles in the pop, electric, acoustic, rock, alt in SL would be equal...   but I think the acoustic following in SL is rather extraly large. _________________ Second Life: The Music, The DJs, The Nightlife, The Art, & The Creativity My Music:  On Reverb Nation:    Doubledown Tandino on Twitter Ravelong on Twitter[/b] Back to top Zak Claxton Joined: 16 Oct 2007 Posts: 2010 Location: Podul/33/243/154/ Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2008 5:41 pm    Post subject: I'd love to surprise the crap out of everyone and plug in the Marshall and the Les Paul for a show sometime in SL.
