    LOL He did ask to suck all our dicks before we knew what sort of talent he had. Lets be fair.
    I can't speak for anybody else but I got stuck hitting the next button on the bass IR loader with my mix in the back accompanying the lols I've been having. I almost coughed into my gravity bong at one point today.

    I just didn't think that today I'd find ITT: OP wants to sell his Arse Soul.

    Why OP wanna go & place himself willingly into a place people want to run from?

    1) wait at a crossroads and do a Johnson.
    2) Lube up, bend over and keep thine fingers crossed.

    i want fame and not clout. you cannot just do one pulicity stunt and get to Michael Jackson levels of fame. even he did not do publicity stunts. only some losers that make garbage music do publicity stunts these days. good music is good music and will not require a stunt.

    Ok, here's what we're gonna do.

    Tonight at 11 pm, I'll show up in front of your house. When you spot me, I'll raise my left hand up and wink my right eye. In exactly 10 seconds you'll have to do the opposite, which is, raise your right hand up and wink the left eye while looking at the moon. Soon You'll hear a voice. That'll be me swearing the f*ck out on you.

    these weren't publicity stunts. this was just Michael being Michael. himself. this is exactly why he was famous and a talented artist its because he thinks unconventionally. do you think THE Michael Jackson needed more fame? he was fame at a time.

    what pet should he have instead of a chimp? a dog like everyone else?

    why shouldnt he be proud to share his child with the world? maybe he was on LSD?

    everyone today is so much like someone else. clothes, hairstyles, musical taste. just go on anyone's social media account and i guarantee you will find 1000s of ones with similar or identical content. its so easy to box and label literally anyone and its why there will never be anyone as famous as him. besides me maybe if i am introduced to the execs!

    Polluted with parasites, pirates & perverts, this freaks forum is no place for a wannaby industry ho like you... newbie deep-throats should instead pucker-up and head down to gearslutz, 'cos everyone knows that's where all the really big, super-connected, self-styled 'illuminati' nobs hang-out. If that doesn't satisfy, you could of course always try make it big on pornhub instead.

    In any event, take plenty mouthwash and don't forget to say 'Thank You, Daddy' to all your special new friends... :beg::chilling:

    Frank Zappa defined this very simply. He stated that an artistic decision if it is dependent on whether people will like it or how much money it will make, it ceases to be an artistic decision and has become a business decision.

    Well since you put it that way then he at least came at this parasite, pirate & pervert freak forum with free blowjobs. At the very least he came correct.

    He was ready to suck anyone's dick, you just had to say who had the connections & he would sicc em like a dog finally running out of saliva. Finding out the connections were somewhere else was second hand knowledge to the chap.

    That's pawn shop shit to him, he's trying to live lavishly.

    You wanted to know how opportunities look like. They look like this:
    But...
    You: "Sorry. No. I can't".
    You just missed one of opportunities. And you created this opportunity yourself when you asked your question in the very beginning of this thread.

    Lube Bag said you this many times. I'm just repeating. For clarity.

    Fame and Talent/Artistic Proficiency are not the same thing,
    or even related in most cases..

    Ofc we've got very well known Exceptions,
    and that's what every musician aspires to.

    For instance:
    Paganini, Liszt, Chopin, Wagner, Tchai..
    Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Vai, Satch, Malmsteen, Django, de Lucia, Amigo, Ravi Shankar, Andy Mckee..
    Evans, Corea, Camilo, Uehara..
    Piazolla, Galliano, YoYo Ma.. you name it.

    What all of his guys have in common is one thing,
    they are very Focused, and Hard Working individuals.

    They do what they love to do, and that's why they're good at it.
    And probably most of them happened to be in the right place, in the right moment.

    And given the chance, they managed to do a good job,
    thus generating more/better chances, and ultimately earning respect/recognition in their field.


    But ofc these are not the only good artists/musicians that exist,
    that's only the Surface, what we see.

    For everyone of these successful guys, there's Thousands if not Millions of other musicians/artists who are just as good/talented,
    but for whatever cluster of reasons didn't manage to get traction/the chance to solidify their careers.

    It may be their life circumstances, local, time, sociopolitical, Economic circumstances,
    or maybe technical limitations they had, or a lack of timing/synchronicity in all aspects that take part/influence..

    But yeah, life's a bitch and will fuck you if let her, as they say.

    Chances are Limited, and there's only a limited time-frame in which a person can/will pursue one path or another.
    You take one path, walk it till the end, and see where it takes you/what you can get from it.

    But once tried/walked, there's usually no point in pursuing that anymore,
    time flies and you cannot keep waiting forever for a better/proper chance to appear,
    maintaining your unaltered yet vitally-useless focus/abilities, while the clock is ticking and your wallet gets ever so slimmer.


    It doesn't matter if someone is the Best Jaw Harp player in the entire World,
    if maybe the place/country he lives in, the moment/context he lives in, doesn't call for a virtuoso/charismatic/genius Jaw Harp player.

    That same guy could have Blown it in the Spaghetti Western era,
    but it's 2021 and (almost) nobody gives a damn fuck about your mad Jaw Harp skills.


    So yeah, if you want Fame/Recognition, based on the Artistic Quality of your Music/Work and Talent.
    There's only one possible way: Focus, Work Hard.. NO HARDER.

    Practice, Learn, Master.. Compose, Compose, COMPOSE, Produce, Publish,
    Rinse and Repeat.

    If you do it hard/strong enough, if you put all your life/balls/brain/soul int it, if you're Relentless in your pursue,
    and if you do it time and again until you get some traction.. it Could eventually happen.

    That's a great path for anyone to take in life, philosophically.
    Lots to learn, and lots of different life experiences could come from it.

    But to get from there a TopTier level of Fame,
    that's a very unlikely outcome.

    And probably an undesirable one!


    The Music/Fame Industry will take you and Exploit you, Milk/Bleed you,
    until there's not a single drop of Energy, Spirit and Soul left into you.

    They will micromanage the fuck out of your ass, and suck your life until you're an empty walking shell of a Corpse.

    For instance, MJ, Lady Gaga, Amy Swinehouse, Katie Perry, Rihana and all those satanic bitches..
    or Britney (who's trying to get Free), and all the rest..

    Some of them actually manage to have better deals, with bigger control over their lives,
    for instance Miley Cyrus doesn't seem too bothered..
    (but you wouldn't expect a Mule/Cow to be excessively self conscious)

    Or other like Prince, managed to break free from it, and do it on their own, Zappa style.
    (the music industry has changed a lot since then tho, they're smaller now and have more competition with the internet)

    But for the most part you'll be fucked by the Industry, and not gently.
    They will have total control over you, tell you what to do, how to do it,
    and they will be there pressuring you for more, and more, in every step/moment/aspect of your freaking life.

    Who wants that kind of shit??

    However the path for that kind of "succes" and Fame is way more simpler nowadays.
    And if that's what you're after, we already told you a few ways to get there.

    Use Youtube/Twitch/Internet, Promote yourself, do something Awesome, or create a Stir/Controversy.

    Then reinvest the outcome in generating more of it, like a feedback loop,
    and generate more, and more, and more..

    Then the Media will start noticing you,
    and they will want you to be there to fill their Content Quota.

    Then you take the chance to Promote yourself even more,
    get more attention, or start getting recognition (if what you do is worth at all)..

    Untill eventually some Big Fish will come and offer you a par of Silicon Boobs,
    and tenderly ask you for suki-suki. :rofl:

    Capisce?

    i didn't say they were the same. i said Michael Jackon's unconventional style of doing everything is what made him both famous and talented. something that boosted his fame was doing things that people didn't understand because they're "normal" which just means average or like everyone else. of course he was a talented performer but there are several other talented performers who lost relevance years ago. why did Michael J stand out? because his natural self was not boring! and then his performance style also was unconventional he gave us those unique adlibs in his singing and then dancing those unorthodox dances he invented like grabbing his dick, polishing the floor walking backwards etc. which was his talent. he did what everyone else would never think to do because people are conditioned by society to think normal and be normal. that is a hive mentality.

    its because they arent screwing or getting screwed by the right people.

    when someone is making a lot of money for very powerful people. those powerful people assigning handlers can only be expected. they see you not as a person anymore but as a cash cow or a money-making asset. see it as "asset protection". alternatively the handlers will ensure you do not say or do anything to destroy the brand these people have sunk millions into. or maybe they are given handlers so they cant speak out. being ultra-famous means you have a lot of influence over millions (billions?) and the pimps may not want you saying certain things that affect their connected political friends.

    am i right? and what exactly is the type of contract these people are involved in whereby their lives are controlled? is this done by their label? do they have to suck off their paymasters?
