They don't. They have to keep it up, to have it made to be a legend. Otherwise, they're just another cookie cutter who will be forgotten." When I read the article up there I thought about that quote, and it's so true. So many young artists think that they're the next best thing when they get their first album.

What helps people to remember a band is the unique sound or vocals that one produces. When you have many bands sounding the same it is really difficult to enjoy something. Trends are ok, but they come and go and keeping yourself in the game is the name of it for most bands. if you are in it for the money this is not a bad thing. You are right.

Of course, it's almost impossible to escape from the influences of the greats, but what makes the next bad stand out is to bring forth some individuality. I am sick and tired of hearing one new band after another come out of the woodworks and sound just like ten million other bands. It is not a bad thing to stay a little in tune with the trend, but you don't want to BECOME a trend. You are absolutely right, and I enjoyed reading this.

Kids today are going to have grandchildren who are only going to know "legends" as we know them now. Because there are no new legends in the making. If everyone tries to be just like the current "legends", then they aren't doing anything to stand out. Nothing to get noticed.

I think that when you are working on becoming a real band the fact is there is a lot of things that need to be taken into consideration. The realization of whether the music will really reach people or is it just pleasing to you and few of your closest friends. Although it more likely to be pleasing to more than that you have to decide what happens if you make it big in a short period of time, how the split is and what expenses need to come out.
