awel Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Few days ago, I was feeling like perhaps it was time to give up and against all odds, a far away friend, told me about Ed Wood, I was not understanding the link between my doubt and a movie. Now, I unsterdand, never give up until you realise your projects, no matter what people think or say. So now, let me tell you that I will make a my band and I don't care about how many time it will take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underneath the comedy in the film, I think there is a real message about optimism in the face of unspeakable odds! The writer Henry Miller had his fair share of critics of his books, but was unfazed by negative remarks; when asked how he coped with harsh words, he said he pretended that they (the critics) were friends that and were joking with him Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellen Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Never to late man . I started with guitar when i was around 30. And know 8 years later im in a band, had our first paid gig two weeks ago. A Garden party. When i think back i never would have thought i should perform live for a audience. And when you have those moment when things are going really well, all the years with frustrations are forgotten. Good luck with starting a band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with starting a band I have played in a lot of band ;), but I always wanted to do a blues rock band so, after 15 years of playing in all kind of metal band, I have taken the decision to make my own blues rock band.

brad1 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Ed Wood is one of my favorite movies. The only reason Ed Wood ever made a movie was due to his "not taking no for an answer" attitude. I've seen the movie many times. But since I have had a lot of bad luck, and bad things happening to me lately, I might need to watch it again.

stein Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I think life is about trying, not succeeding. Success/failure means nothing. To try will always have meaning. We all give up sometimes. That is OK I think. Just as long as it is a temporary condition. No pot was smoked during the writing of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I wanted to be a guitar player from as long as I remember... I never thought I had it in me or I should say had the patients to do the work to get it out of me. Well, at 51 years old I decided to learn how to play guitar... I'll be 56 in 11 days and I am playing in two bands now and loving it... I have been writing and composing for many years but not on guitar. I have decided to go through my tunes, make a selection of the best, and together with the new stuff I'm writing now, record an album. We are already playing some of my stuff in one of my bands...
