its all about the songs baby!!! the songs and how the band plays em. Clapton was dog shit without Jack Bruce and Ginger baker. Dylan is the rippingest fuckin drummer and G is the best bassist ive ever played with. they make all my songs sound awesomer than they should.
i put out my first record in 1996, i was 17, and the last copy i put up for sale less than a month ago sold for $50 and was paid for in less than an hour after i posted it. currently i have played on 18 unique vinyl records (not counting reissues) the last of which came out several weeks ago. i am proficient on guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, i can play country, rock, rockabilly, jazz, blues, etc. i choose to play the music i do because it is what is most satisfying to me, i could just as easily be doing anything else. i might not be joe satriani as far as skill is concerned, but i can do a damn good hendrix any day of the week. as far as drums, many people think i am a better drummer than guitarist, but i havent practiced regularly or been in a band playing drums in many years, but again, i am fluent and have been trained in jazz and rockabilly styles, i can read music, i know theory, etc. if i wanted to play covers i could probably be quite successful already, but to me, doing that is more painful than a tooth extraction without anesthetic. when THE ONIONS first started we did some covers and played for general audiences, that was a year and a half ago since we started concentratinng g on our originals more, and i can honestly say i would rather play for three cool people than a huge "general audience" type crowd. my brain is full of fuck.i am a lifer. i will be this way until i die. i have dedicated my life to this music.
