You can make lots of money writing top 40 stuff for bands.If your consistant in writing catchy stuff,I'm sure you could get a contract with a record company...just have your berklee degree ready.

I'm not a glory hog,but if I wrote some awsome riff,intro,solo or lyrics then I would want to play it too.I wouldn't take much pride in playing a friends solo or somthing,especially if they were apart from the band.

I'm the 'workhorse' of my band.I write the tune and lyrics,arrange them and direct them almost entirley myself.You would think that I like having complete control over the direction of every aspect of the music,but good constuctive help would be great.Its tough coming up with consistantly great catchy,but hardcore'ish songs...I need to write like 6 to 10 more songs by january(when were going to the studio)...talk about pressure.I dont write filler either.Every song must be a potential hit,but that is my idea,not the bands.Ive never been in such deep thought about making music all the time before,so it will prove to be a great experience.I even designed the band logo.At least the band agreed that I will 'own' the songs,band name,logo,lyrics e.c.t.
I'm rambling on...

Later! \m/
