I am so sick of local (I mean it, it hurts, they're local) Local Dub Step people my age getting a break, local rap, but when you write a rock song, it's not going to get signed because rock labels are pop labels today.

I'm from Thornton Heath, we're getting people get signed all over now, but not in rock.
Whenever I try I get turned down.
Why should I change my art when they can just sign me?

You should have made this the OP instead of waiting five pages, then we would've known from the off what you were upset about.

Concentrate on playing your guitar and enjoying your music, being signed comes with its own pressures you may not even be ready for.

The other thing to do is look at the young musicians succeeding thanks to social media and youtube?

You could also just go on x factor of you want to be a star?

Well.... you could go on X Factor if you want to be on telly for a few weeks, have every shred of creativity beaten out of you, have a minor Christmas hit with a cover version, then be quietly dropped by Syco Records before ever releasing your album. But everyone will have forgotten you by then anyway.

Mmmmm.

But then I'd get celebrity this, and I'm a celebrity that, and features in the mags, and maybe a spin off TV show on a satellite channel that no-one ever watches.

15 minutes never lasted so long.

Or was spent so wastefully.

Yeah, true for some of them. And I guess that is being a "star", by modern standards.

Has to be a band? Cos I struggle to hate bands - artists on the other hand... Akon. Fuck me. That "Lonely" song with the god awful high pitch auto tuned voice one of the worst things I've ever heard!

I think the only rap artists I've ever been able to get into is Eminem, and Goldie Lookin Chain (because they're just so damn funny!)

The British GnR? That could have been Crazyhead. If they'd have caught on.

I think it was already established that the Rolling Stones are the UK's answer to GnR.
Axel came along strutting his stuff, and a couple of guys called Mick & Keith sitting in their flat stood up and said:

"I bet if we tried really hard we could copy that exact style of music"

And thus.. The UK's answer to GnRs was born.

True Story.

Blimey I hadn't read this when we were talking about it in the indian @Bridgehouse @Alnico @Phil_aka_Pip !
I used to hate Morrissey's voice and songs and by extension The Smiths but I occasionally get a bit nostalgic when I hear one now. And I quite like Johnny Marr's more recent stuff.
Anyway there were a few LOLs in this thread so cheers for that.

I saw Crazyhead at the Town and Country Club in the early 90's. Wasn't their bass player called Pigman or something like that? Great band (but not as good as The Darkness)!

Are these the same dudes who get all possessive of their wives when you want to sleep with them? (the wives) if so they are just rotters huh.

I see two people kissing, one of them's my wife... I'm going to ignore all personal freedoms and liberties and assert my right I just gave myself to bust it up. Then I'm going to tell my wife what to do as well as her lover...

See... It doesn't quite work in the UK.
If you're kissing someone's wife, and get caught, do not take shit from the husband/Lesbian wife; If they attack you, call the police, fore you and the wife aren't breaking any laws and the husband/Lesbian wife is committing the offence by ordering you about like they've got the authority I'm afraid; the UK is a wonderful country where spouses don't own each other and outside of contract, no one can order someone to do anything.

If you don't like it @munckee; Move to Saudi Arabia!
Long live The UK.

At best, you just cite it in the divorce as grounds for divorce and try get half of their stuff.

If I caught some chap with missus munckee he wouldn't be able to call the police after his bunch of fives.

Another interesting turn of events in the thread - Lesbian you seem to have a strange idea what constitutes a normal romantic relationship, and what is or isnt generally accepted in them

But if all you want is your 15 minutes....?

The OP was apparently bitter about not being SIGNED, i.e. he considers himself a professional and presumably regularly gigging musician of some talent, but that is not enough for him?

So getting SIGNED maybe a synonym for wanting 15 minutes in the spotlight, which X Factor certainly provides?

Yep, you may be right. And they're even letting people do original material on X Factor nowadays, so we could get to hear our friend doing something inspired by (...but not in imitation of...) Guns N' Roses.

Howdy, Stranger!
