Question of the week#14

The Question of the week#14 is up by now!!!!! Check it out...

[quote]The first question this week is courtesy of Abby. She asks:

"What is the most difficult part of getting a new band off the ground? What steps are involved?"


Chris replied:

"It's crazy how it has changed over the years. Back in the day we just enjoyed singing together and got lucky with a few shows. Now there is a lot of online stuff to do and learning more and more about being technically skilled. But I think the most difficult part is putting together a record on your own."


We also have Mike's reply to Robyn's question:

"If you weren't a musician, what other career do you think you might have ended up in?"


Mike answered:

"I would definitely be working in the software development industry. Aerospace of course."[quote]



Woohoo... new question of the week´s up by now!
THANK YOU to Whitney, Chris, Mike ... and the two questioners Robyn and Abby this week!!!!


I fancy Mike´s answer this week a lot!!!! But I am truely very glad that he made it to be a musician!!!! hehe

Wow, I totally forgot about the question. Totally forgot it's Monday because we have holiday over here. Nice questions and great answers. I think it's so cool Chris answers with more than just one sentence now. And I actually thought becoming famous would be easier today because of the internet.

Ooo cool! I think both questions were good.

It's gotta be harder getting into the business with the music Nigels 11 plays because it isn't the same as what everyone else is doing. If you listen to Top 40 radio, all the songs sound the same. And Nigels 11 is way different. In a good way though... a very good way.

Nigel's music is just PERFECT for Germany. lol We just have to say this over and over again so that the guys consider coming here one day.


I just can't understand anyone not liking their music. hehe It's the kind of music simply everyone can like. There are no age limits or gender barriers. Does this make sense?

Oh definately makes sense. I would like to think that they could be one of the bands to change Top 40 radio here. I'm tired of all the rap/hip hop stuff that all sounds the same. I can't tell one artist apart from another. It's lame. I liked the days when you could be like, "That's *NSync. Sum 41. Nickleback." you know... the variety. Made Top 40 not so boring.

You are so right. I feel the same way. Everyone sounds the same nowadays. It's sad.

That's reason MTV (USA) really sucks big time. Not much new rock/pop artists lately so I'm staying with 80's and legend artists/groups that I know of.

I rarely listen to the radio. Only when I forget my iPod.

Yeah, I very rarely do listen to any radio show (germany) also... or I do watch as less as possible at the MTV Channel (german) as I can.
It just brings lots of "real life show" (as they call it themself)!

I´m haveing my MP3-player almost everytime with me.... especial when I´ll go to the grocery store.
So I don´t have to listen to their silly commercials playing in their radio(s)!!!

I listen to the radio quite often. Of course, I always tune in to Johnny & Jayde's morning show every Friday. But there are also German stations I like, although I have to admit XL's music is way better. Other than that I listen to my mp3s. Don't even listen to cds anymore. You just have to check youtube if you want to listen a specific song and that's it.
