I'd nominate the person working the barrier at Woy Woy Railway station..

They let all their bogans mates pass through the gate solely for the purpose of mums with prams and disabled passengers with a wink wink while dumbasses likemyself pay $56 a week to travel on late, dirty, bogan infested trains.. :x :x

so, you feel it should be free, and that other people should spend their free time creating it so that others can enjoy it?

every talent is worth something to someone, and thank goodness for that.
Yes thank goodness, It is great that you appreciate the quality of Brittney and Billy Ray.

FTR this is part of the point, two wankers, debating the merits of any low life musicians, is a wank fest of the highest order, bet your music is better than... say..anyone, especially the "thekid", a beiber fan fo sho.

I play guitar, played in an acoustic duet at different pubs around TVL for 3 years and got paid for it, but earnt no where near as much money as my 'real job' but it allowed me the ability to not only do something I love, but share my somewhat lacking talent with the world and earn a bit of pocket money on the side. I wouldn't call myself a musician per se, maybe a part time one once upon a time. I think your comments on muso's Angry are a bit off the mark. Musicians are entertainers, no different to any athlete really. I think it's quite ironic that you are a fan of Rugby League but can't stand musicians..........

I play guitar..........
Quite simply, harder than your job?

Understand why you get paid for your job, and not you hobby as a guitarist?

Would love to get paid Bieber wage for for guitar skills?

But did not know the right fat merkin to market you as well he was to children?

I reckon
No,
Yes
Yes
Na, I did not.


But "thekid" will buy, just not yours.

Just Woy Woy?, sounds like a merkin who plays music on the weekend waiting for his "break" for a fat merkin, but alas is not willing to suck c**k.

Ok, Is you current job harder to do(not that I know what it is), than playing a guitar?

I say yes, despite not knowing what it is.

It has to be.

I wouldn't say harder, I would say my current job has a lot more responsibility and repercussions should the maintenance I carried out on an aircraft be sub standard. But I get to do this job 38 hours a week.

When I was gigging, we were playing around about 2-3 times a week, each gig could have been 3-5 hours with cost per hour for the venue of about $100 an hour (split 2 ways). If I could have played guitar at $50 an hour for 38 hours a week, I would be on the same money or thereabouts as my 'real job'. But there is not enough venues around here to be able to play that many hours a week, I did do 2 gigs in one day once, 2 lots of 4 hour gigs and I was absolutely wrecked the next day as were my fingers and voice. Plus the hours of when you are required to play are generally pretty sh*thouse so you would then have to be somewhat nocturnal should you chose to do it full time.

Both 'jobs' require talent, just differing talents. Not everyone has the patience to learn an instrument to the skill level that they can 'entertain' 100-300 people on a Saturday night or have the balls to 'sit' in front of that many people and entertain. At first it can be very nerve wracking having that many people watching you play and you are required to keep them entertained enough to hang around and by piss from the bar in enough quantities to make yourself a valuable contributor for the owner of the venue.

Which is pretty much similar to any occupation out there really................... no matter what you are doing you have to be able to make your boss $$$$$$, if we were sh*t no one would have hung around to watch us play so my boss wouldn't get paid.

If I can't get an aircraft fixed on time, my boss doesn't get paid.

Britney and Billy Ray might not be my thing, but it certainly doesn't invalidate their existance. stupid people need music, too. ;-)

Glad to hear to have a real job.

Will simply disagree about the rest, any clown can play guitar, not everybody can do the rest of what you do, and even more, your real job is required for others, hence the hours...................musicians, sitting on thier arse waiting for thier dole check, or huge break ( where the get to suck fat man c**k and prey on the young) Do not work as hard or help society in the same way. I fthey disappear into a hole tomorrow no one would care or be affected, but if you did they would.

Your words
I would say my current job has a lot more responsibility and repercussions
of course it does, as does anyones.

rubbish. fame itself comes with sh*tloads responsiblity and repercussions, regardless of what you're famous for. not many famous people take them very seriously, but they are there all the same.

jesus... just look at the repercussions of Paris Hiltons actions. never have i seen a larger quantity of 14-16y.o tramps running the streets.

Just to be clear, you are more than comfortable that these useless people are well rewarded in society.

Really, so appropriate your NIC is "thekid" got any figures?

Do you have any proving the opposite? It's common knowledge. There is plenty of music out there specifically tailored to targeting older people. Who do you think keeps buying the music from the 30s, 40s, 50s etc.

Country music for example mostly sells to the 25-50 year old age group (im not looking it up for you, you have google it takes 5 minutes).

In my experience, people stop buying after a while...not sure of how many 50 year olds that have Brittney CDs, perhaps you know more of them me, I know zero.

You're a moron pure and simple. Did i say everyone keeps buying Britney spears? Older people stop buying Britney Spears but that doesn't mean they stop buying music.

There is lots of other music out there. Classical, opera, country and tons of other music that isn't just for kids. Just because you're too blind to see it doesn't mean it isn't there.

They would have bought LP's back in the day, but today's music does not do it for them. They grew up.

What a load of tripe. Thats just your personal anecdote. Also just because people stop buying todays modern music doesn't mean they stop buying music period.

make no msitake I understand I am in the minority, young people and people clinging to thier youth get offended, when I start on the worthless musicians.

Again you are putting them all together. Musicians aren't just one whole entity they come in all sorts of varieties. At least you got one thing right, you are in the minority.

hahahahahahahahahaha small segment, seriously, they all want to get rich of one song, only kids are buy it.

Who exactly are you referring to? You can't just refer to musicians in one bunch. What about the bands who get by playing at local pubs and clubs. Are they just preying on children?

Yeah sure champ, they don't concert with groupies, hanger ons etc, they do it for the music.......bwwwwhahhhahahah.

Some do, some don't. Only a fool would try and paint every musician with the same brush. What about pianists? You think they just do it for the groupies? Get a grip.

Well I apologise if it seems that way, has nothing to do with sex, unlike music video soft porn.

Are they all like this? Again there are many different types of musicians.

Musicians are not pedos, but sex in the vidoes cannot be denied.

Who gives a sh*t?

Yep the dole bludgers waiting to hit it big with kids like you. In the mean time can't get a real job, because they are useless.

There are plenty of musicians who haven't made it big but aren't living on the dole. Crawl out of that basement some more and you might see some of them.

Maybe you have a point here, I should appreciate a banjo player for Alambama more.

There are plenty of other musicians out there. It's your problem it you don't know about them, doesn't make your argument any less pathetic.

Yep, can't stand fat merkins who prey on children

Not every musician is like this and i dare say the ones who do focus on kids aren't fat. They are most likely a lot more intelligent than you, thats why they're rolling in money whilst you sit behind your keyboard crying because of your jealousy.

Also before you say it no not all musicians are rich. However it's pretty clear that you are referring to the popular ones and that's most likely where your jealousy stems from.

Another JoeD arguement, yeah na.

Better than having no argument.

Hang on you just said real musicians don't do it for money

No i didn't, i said some do and some don't. They're not all the same, maybe try reading next time.

It is ok you will grow out of it, gald to be a moron to thekid, like most kids you CD is strong.

Yeah you have no argument so you try and talk down to me. Even if i was a kid i wouldn't be offended. Having some moron try and insult me on the internet doesn't bother me.

I can see your glad being a moron thats why you keep making these terrible posts.

You've nailed another one Mr Angry.

For a moment there I thought you were losing your touch

Lol can't think of anything for yourself so you post this dribble. The fact that you agreeing with Mr Angry shows how much of a moron you are.

yea, Justin Bieber, Stan Walker....

f**king musical legends, they'll be playing their stuff in 30 years time..

What the hell does that even have to do with what i posted? Just because there are 2 like that doesn't mean the thousands of others are to.

Are people on here really this stupid?

Just to be clear, you are more than comfortable that these useless people are well rewarded in society.

They aren't useless. They have a talent and they used it to make a lot of money. It's pretty obvious what you're problem is. You are doing a sh*t job and you're jealous of musicians who make a lot more money than you do.

i would say they are over-rewarded currently. i am comfortable with them being rewarded relative to their level of talent, which isn't always the case due to the way the music industry operates.

but as a general, all encompassing statement, yes - i am happy for a musician to make money from their music.
