    IMO, the best plan is to make the best music you possibly can, and get as paid as you can in the process. People's opinions and values change over time. I'll tell you this...if I were making the best music I possibly could, and some beer company wanted t give me $150k to use the tune in their marketing campaign, I wouldn't be thinking about some kid in Minnesota who might think I just lost my cred for getting paid $150,000 for 90 seconds or less of my talents. Nice work if you can get it...that's what I say :)

    Big houses and new cars and other materialistic things of this world aren't everything. Personally, I'd rather do something I enjoy and be happy with it then I don't need those shiny status objects that in the end mean nothing.

    If you want some ROCK N ROLL check out ROSE HILL DRIVE!!!

    rosehilldrive.com

    They are a pure fucking r'n'r band that'll kick you in the balls. The only band I've seen cover zeppelin and not sound like idiots. If you are tired of pussies who cannot play any instruments,who whine too damn much and look like asian chicks then this band is for you!


    PS- I love asian chicks by the way! Just not skinny GUYS who try to look like them.

    There are so many great bands out there. I love Pearl jam with a passion but they don't rock out or nearly as hard as some people think they do. There are tons of bands with the drive and passion for one thing like PJ: the music. You may or may have not heard of these bands so i apologise if I insult anyones intelligence. Try some of these awesome bands.

    1. The Atomic bitchwax - get their first 2 albums. like a hendrix jam session!
    2. Nebula - awesome hendrix like 3 piece. it grooves and jams. buy "dos ep's" and "to the center"
    3. Calla - arty rock band - good indie band that is not trendy. mellow......
    4. Built To Spill - excellent band. Mike mcCReady approved. Every album is a classic - start off with he official "live album", "theres nothing wrong with love", "perfect from now on". New lbum 04/11/06!
    5. Sleep - buy the album "Sleeps holy mountain". This is the best album Sabbath never made. unreal album
    6. electric Wizard - a little on the heavy and spacey side but they rule - buy "come my fanatics" and "dopethrone".
    7. orange goblin - old shool 70's rock with a hint o' metal. buy "frequencies from planet ten" and "time travelling blues"
    8. Fu Manchu - buy anything up the their last real great album The action is go. "try the action is go" and "in search of"
    9. Subarachnoid Space - they are the definitive space prog jam band. lots of darkness and evil. kind of like "careful with that axe eugene" era pink floyd. 95% instrumental. awesome stuff. I have all their albums but you can start with their latest great album "the red veil"
    10. Clutch - will take time to get used to but they shred anyone live. see them if you can!! they never stop touring.

    ** If you really need to go nuts just grab some cannibal corpse, deicide, slayer, hatebreed, suicidal tendencies, opeth etc.

    Later!

    I agree with Built To Spill so much

    Perfect From Now on is one of the best 90's albums out there, no question
