E5I5O walks in, smiles and says... nice place you have here :)
 

Hello everyone. I'm William. I'm from Los Angeles and I've been playing music since I was fifteen. I've been looking for a site to post my music because I finally got a working computer again and the net to boot. Haven't had that in like five years because of pretty bad money troubles but that's over now, thankfully. Paid off my debt a few months ago. Thank goodness. And I'm going to do everything within my power to never let that happen again. I like John Mayer because he's one of the few people whom when he first came out wasn't a phony. He appeared genuine to me - not afraid to be himself. And plays an acoustic guitar. How many artists really play acoustic instruments nowadays. Not really that many. Because it forces the individual to show how good they really are. Whether it be a guitar or a piano, play an acoustic instrument first. Show me what you can really do. Not to take anything away from electric instruments. I have an Ibanez electric guitar. I love many different style of music. John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Lisa Loeb, Michelle Branch. I also love rock and metal. Rush, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath. I love musicians and bands with depth and substance. Actually, that's the way I love everything. I write my own songs and sing. I also have a band. We're called Target For Extinction. We play old school rock and metal, but when I play my acoustic guitar, I usually just stick to things that are either singer/song writer style or classical. I try to incorporate my songs into my band but it's a bit tough. When I play and sing it doesn't really give much for the drummer and bassist to do. My songs don't really require much other than my singing and my acoustic guitar. Anyway, great looking site. Seems like a lot of very interesting, intelligent and talented people post here. I'll post more songs later as I record them. Since I have the net again, I have access to my youtube account again.

And I said RAMBLE ON!

Hi William! Welcome to MB.

A little advice: It's somewhat frowned upon when people only come here to advertise their music. It's expected that one gets to know the forums and people before posting it. That being said there are lots of great musicians here who share their stuff and I'm sure you'll find an audience. Just don't overdo it at first, it's considered kinda spammy.

Understood. I'm not a fly by night artist. I like reading and posting. Trust me, I'm not a disingenuous person. I'm not the lay down the seeds and split in a heart beat type person. I'm actually a very grounded person. I like stability.

You don't have to convince me, man.:)
I'm not a mod or anything like that. Just a heads up, wouldn't want so see you banned or something like that. Have a nice time here.

Right.....so you say. We just met you.

thanks grindy (music addict), I love music, too ;) I look forward to having many enlightening conversations here. I can tell by the looks of things, I'm not amongst dummies... that's not lip-service, and that's not kissing up, that's the truth. Those are my true perceptions of this virtual space. I always tell the truth. You can quote me on that ;)

Welcome to MB.

thank you overcast, and, yeah, the batlord, I have no reason to lie, I'm an incredible honest person, I'm a person of principle, I have no reason to fear the truth, the truth is always on my side ;)

Would you touch a poop for $20?

I touch a poop all the time. Me. And no money necessary, either :)

You're a poop?

well, just because I told you am always going to tell you the truth doesn't mean I can't joke around a while. After all, this board is called "Music Banter", the word "banter", means: the playful and friendly exchange of teasing remarks. It's important to be honest, but it's equally important to not take things so seriously... ;)

I see you're dancing around the question. Poop. $20. Touchy? No touchy?

I never dance, I'm always very straight forward... nah... I wouldn't touch poopy for twenty bucks... but, maybe if you offered me twenty one dollars and seventy nine cents, I might consider it, but I'm not sure.....

But $25 for sure?

You see, I can tell you the truth, I always will, to the best of my ability, knowledge and recollection, but, what if I'm not sure, or simply don't know? That does not default me as an honest person, because it's not my fault that I'm not sure or simply don't know. So, twenty five buckaroos.. can we make it a cool forty five million?

No we can't. Anyone would touch anything for $45 million, so there is no worth in that question.

Not anyone. There are some things I would never touch, not even for forty five million dollars ;)

Gay alligator?

I would probably veer away from alligators in general, gay or not, for obvious reasons.....

We're not talking in general. We're talking $45 million.

I can do your gay alligator for forty five million dollars or I can be a two dolla' ho' and do your gay alligator for two dolla's, or I can do your gay alligator for one dollar and seventy two cents... because I sometimes tend to be a bit of an underachieving ho'

does your gay alligator bite hard? I mean, I can stand a bite, but just not a really hard one.... I tend to have a low threshold for pain....

Whoa, I just said you had to touch it, not "do" it. Now I think you just wanna **** an alligator.

how dare you insinuate such a thing? I thought you wanted me to pull its tooth...

No one said anything about teeth, and you're the one who seems to want to "pull" something.

well, teeth can be pulled, and one can pull a heist, and one can pull the wool over somebody's eyes... but what troubles me, tremendously, is how no one can see, how you and me have basically become nothing more than an online catastrophe.... but not in a bad way.... ok, most terrible poem ever written....

I'll do you one better, you weird lizard petter. Not a thread on this site, ever goes right, nor even the way they're intended. That's the way it is, in the MB biz, for we like the rules to be bended.

I like you, and your site, I want to keep posting here, if that's ok with you and your fellow admins. And, yeah, please don't take this offensively, or think I'm trying to attack you or your board, but I wouldn't mind if you hear my songs.... eventually.... someday.... anyway.... would that be ok with you?

lol@admin

Moderators and Admins have blue names. Batlord is our token troll.

It's cause I'm black isn't it?

New guy re-kindles the Bat Poet...

Welcome new guy.

Still kinda in the dark about everything, but, then again, I'm slow, so, that's to be expected....

It's like groping in the dark and banging your noggin every few seconds for the first week or so.

It's not you. It's this place.

FYI, I'm not an admin. My user title is complete and utter horse****.

what an ice hole you are.... and when I say "ice hole", I mean you a cold ass mutha f*****

I thought you were some body important :bonkhead:

then again, being someone important is not really important to me, so, whatever

As if somebody who is even remotely important would call himself The Batlord.:laughing:

To be fair, it's not like admins are important anyway.
