I'm disappointed that I never received my invitation to collaborate on a track. Oh well, que sera sera...

I'm hoping that it is because he's going for a sound like Sevendust or Megadeth or something similar.

Dammit, why isn't this available for Christmas???

Singing an An them is different then putting an Album out though.

Way cool Eric!!

See William Hung...She Bang She Bang...he's never sung an anthem

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Yep, sounds like Sevendust.

OMG Sevendust... theres a band I hadn't heard of in awhile.

 

[Strenuus]

I will say this, first... well done @KingSpeed objectively that's one of the better ones i've ever heard. That, and you sang it with both brevity and power. Thank you for not dragging it out.

Such a sad thing. I hope they're rich at least. Nobody talks about them.

Too intricate of a band. Couldnt figure out how to KISS. great talented band, but thats hwy there is a diff between them and Disturbed or Korn, or some of the other metal bands that made it bigger. They wrote some KISS hits to get on the radio.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Avenged Sevenfold is another spectacular band that will never make the top level because they are too intricate.

 

[KingSpeed]

Thank you. Tell Todd Bosma at the Blazers to invite me to sing again.

A preview track from my album is up now at MilleganMusic.com.

True, but the Anthem is one of the hardest songs to sing AND it's someone else's song. Performing it will always be compared to Whitney Houston's rendition.

What genre would you classify your music as?

I say that while fully believing there are really only 2 genres of music:

Good music

and

Shit that sucks.

I've been thinking about this all afternoon and I have some questions that are coming from a good place. They may not seem like it because they're going to sound critical. First I want to say how admirable it is to see someone have the guts to put themselves out there.

That said, @KingSpeed ....what is the reason behind this? Is this a serious attempt at a music career or are you just messing around because you can?

Are you looking for another income? You've mentioned magic and comedy before and now this.

If this is serious, do you have someone to help you?

I know plenty of people had to have seen this thread but nobody has commented on the sample on your website.

People like you man and maybe they don't want to hurt your feelings by saying something rude. I like you too even if your personality and mine are polar opposites. That's why I'm asking, because I'd want someone to tell me what they really think.

I do.
She replaced Kate Smith as the all time best.

This is a great post.

For those who don't know, I've been a regional performing artist/producer for almost 2 decades. I've done hundreds of shows. I've opened for many popular rap/hip hop acts:

Warren G/Nate Dogg
E-40
Too Short
Mac Dre
The Luniz
C-Bo
Twista
Dru Down
3x Crazy (popular Oakland group)

and many others.

I've also done shows where I've been told: "Ok, you're going on after the hula hoop girl".

I've been cheered immensely for my music. There have been times when I've been booed (fumbled my lyrics at a rap battle. Still won it tho.)

In that time, I've been handed so many demos, EPs, and videos, that I've had to critique and give honest criticism to. Like Bodyman said, it takes a lot to put yourself out, especially in a venue where honest criticisms are rare from people who like you.

People who like you might not give you the honest, constructive criticism that ever artist deserves. I like you Eric. You're a good Blazer fan, and you even got this black man (5% of black people watch Bones) watching Bones just to see you.

Again, like Bodyman said, the question really is: Is this a serious attempt at a music career?

Because if it is, I can only be honest. By being honest I'll have to say,

What’s with all the overly earnest concern? The last time I posted my music on here someone said they rather commit suicide than listen to it. Why does KS get all this soft touch concern?

It was probably me that said the suicide stuff. Don't recall.

I always give Eric shit or at least like posts of those who do.

Thought I'd try and be more diplomatic for once... I'm getting old and it's worth a shot.
