When I first heard this song by the great band AC DC I only heard the music. Later on when I matured in my knowledge in the music industry and personal experience I finally had a epiphany. It is a Long way to the top if you want to Rock n Roll! It is said that at least one teenager/ young adult plays in a band at least once in their lifetime. The hard part is not only organizing practices it is also a challenge to create your own sound. I would like to think of each different band as a brand what makes them more unique than the others. Some great unique that I personally feel sets the bar are the Ramones and Lincoln Park. It does not matter how hard you try nobody will be able to copy Joey Ramone's voice. Also Lincoln Park combines a perfect combination of New Age Metal screaming as well as some sick techno and turn table beats, plus the lead guitarist is the best rapper ever! I also think that everybody who says everything has been done and why bother; whoever believes that will never make it. Whenever I here this I think of Howard Schultz the underdog from Brooklyn, who had to sell his own blood for college tuission. Now this man is fronting a multi million dollar company whose product has even been used in tv shows as well as movies. This proves that you do not need to be born into a rich family or have all the right equipment I mean the misfits did not have any high quality recording equipment. The moral of this story is all you need is optimism and hard work and you can do anything, if your willing to take risks.
This is interesting Blasi, however it would be most beneficial if you would tie your comments back to your Senior Project. Random discussions are fun but for this purpose they are not helpful to you or to anyone reading your blog who wants to learn about your project.
