The Official Rules of Rock and Roll?

[TwistClock]

Fuck up that Bass Pedal like no bodies business.

You should do different Genres and styles. Just throwing that out there.

i always thought that there were no "Rules" to rock and that it was an expression of anarchy and rebellion or some such stuff.

Not Every band is like Paramore.

Well, BZ has replied to my pm:
"Being in a band is about breaking the rules, and being different. The way to get attention from the public and 'greater powers' is by doing something that makes everyone say: 'Hey listen (or check) them out!'.

Of course, this is all entirely dependent on the audience you want to reach. With my band, I was trying to reach the more 'mainstream' crowd, seeing as quebec is a great place to mooch of those people.

It really all comes down to saying: 'What fans do I want, and what do those fans want from me?'."

in order to rock, you need a Foreigner belt

Of course, this is a pretty good rule too.

Do the opposite of whatever BlueZombie is doing.

here are the rules for being in a band.
play music you like, and do it with cool people you like who can play the instruments properly.
also try not to be a bunch of tools, that's never fun.
play lots of local gigs and see how you do, if you do good then try harder. if you do bad you could try even harder but you might go no where.
just make sure you can hold a job whilst doing this.


though you'd have to be a fool to listen to me, right?
