It's better to be realistic AND determined.
There will always be better bands out there who are not signed. It would be wise not to continue to compare yours with them. Every band has a different flavour. Do you really think that all the signed bands out there are better than the ones struggling to get a deal? I'm a realist too but agree with your second guitarist. In order to be eligible for that 99.99% luck, you gotta be in it, rather than step aside for the bands who are better than you to get a deal first If you're not confident in your material or it needs more work, then it's a different story. Just my 50 cents edit: Oh and congrats on your band taking off This post has been edited by zen: Apr 30 2010, 08:19 AM -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

+1 to what's already been said and..
What do you as a band want to do? If you guys want to think about getting a deal and trying to get bigger, do it! -------------------- |

I'd say it's not a good idea to put yourself down before hand.
Fame is achieved through media, so focusing on getting that might be a good idea, You can't really tell what the future holds for you so why stopping trying even before starting? -------------------- Visit my:

Hmmm If you're band has all the thing it needs to get signed - name, enough for album original songs, gigs etc I don't see why you shouldn't look for a deal with a record label. I also don't think its 99% luck with those deals at all. It will only be 99% luck if a band does absolutely nothing about looking for a record deal and record label spots them and offers deal on their own If you guys don't think you are ready - don't have enough songs for first album or want to make better ones then its ok to be pessimistic. But if you have the songs, why not get signed. Demo band can do only some little things and then hits the wall (getting signed or not)...You have to try to find a record deal, speak to different labels etc send press kits until you make one. Good stuff will come only after you have your first official album out.
All in all, I think one has to Believe in music and what he plays and then be determined to go to successes. And the only way there is self motivation and promotion and knocking on different doors. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
