Nope, getting paid even 25 cents seems unbelievable to me. I've heard 8 year olds that did a better job of playing their instruments.
Frankly, I'm really having a hard time making the word "music" stretch to cover that noise.




I know this post is old but I had to post just to get this out of my system...stormsinger is an idiot. Lee Ving is an extremely talented musician and Fear were some of the most accomplished musicians of the early hardcore scene. Flea from RHCP did a stint with Fear FFS. I don't expect everyone to understand the Punk movement but don't be an idiot. Go listen to whatever insipid, flatulent, and derivative pop crap is the flavor of the day and keep your opinions to yourself. And yes, Punk was about attitude but it also spawned some of the most creative and powerful rock and roll ever. Nirvana, Greenday, Coldplay etc... all wannabe's. I love Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters but they might as well be Husker Du, and Dave would probably admit it. He often has Grant Hart at their shows! Calling Fear weak is like saying the Ramones didn't influence anything...moron.
