Ruin a band name by changing one letter.
Example: Rash30 Comments@lamia6 I feel like my minor investment in this reaction plugin has paid off with my being able to use a laugh emoji for Marilyn Hanson — money well spent!
Hi there @phonobrainer. Nice to see you!

Welcome to Simeon AKA @praisetracks
Like many others, I enjoy watching Simeon’s YouTube videos, especially when he goes on little musical tangents — playing familiar classics. Because the man can really play! Then I purchase the same libraries and think to myself, “Wait… something’s different. Hold on, I know. It sounded awesome when Simeon…Read More1 Commentpeter posted
A big welcome to our new community members, @tactile_coast @phonobrainer @fwrend @vlade @zinct @tomgu It’s great to have all of you here! You can find our friend cclarry over in the Deals Forum (linked below) doing his thing — prolifically posting deals and a bunch of familiar, friendly faces here.

While I am maintaining two lists of free sample libraries that are linked to on the main site menu to the left of this post, I’m going to be creating threads of what I believe are the absolute best free sample libraries and VST instruments by instrument category. I call them “Peter’s Picks.” I’ve just posted the first one, focused on all types of…Read More

Name a rock band or artist that most people you know love but you never cared for.

8 CommentsWait, you don’t like Queen? Unfriended!
I kid, I kid. But Queen was awesome.
I became a Rush fan in HS and stayed one since.
I don’t know what it is with Queen, but I don’t really enjoy listening to their music for fun and pleasure. Strange, but that’s me.
Back in the day, REO Speedwagon and, for the most part, Van Halen. These bands were really popular when I was in HS. Add Kiss to the list a little earlier. Just plain terrible, IMO. I still won’t forget the day my closest cousin — who was like a brother — told me at around age 13, that he decided that Kiss was a better band than Zeppelin.…Read More
1, Hole: for some reason everyone was crazy about Hole and I just couldn’t get into it.
Their 1st Disk: Pretty on the Inside: was just awful even thought it was produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth (a band I love)
And then the 2nd Disk: Live Though This: Came out and everyone went crazy for that, and I still didn’t like the band.
But when the 3rd…Read MoreI would side with you regarding Hole and Boston. While I always liked Boston, I think I took Brad Delp’s voice for granted and didn’t even realize how good his vocals were on those classic albums until many years later. Now, Longtime is playing in my head. That was huge when I was a kid, and I loved it and still do. I suppose this is driving me to…Read More

4 CommentsTotal egomaniac with obvious anger management issues. Having worked as a drummer as a hired gun a lot, I’m familiar with working for ill tempered egomaniacs and have witnessed prima donna singers explode and throw a punch on stage, although never at me. I did read an article about the incident– and it was one of several with the singer raging at…Read More

A big welcome to our latest community members. I can see @tommyf @jmcorc @vst0ne @bovinator @locrian @anxiousmofo @solit @psionx Thanks for being part of this. I invite you to look around.

It’s completely bonkers that one unstable BandLab employee, Jonathan Sasor, was permitted to completely trash Cakewalk Forum users, which resulted in my stating that he needed to apologize — that resulted in his banning me from that Forum, lashing out at cclarry, then suspending, censoring or even banning anyone for even mentioning…Read More

Robin Guy, celebrated and much-loved drummer, has died.
Tributes have been paid to English rock drummer Robin Guy, who passed away recently.
The news of the popular and much-respected drummer’s death was announced yesterday on his Facebook page by his wife Jessica Rushton. Guy, who played with English rock band Rachel Stamp, punk legends Sham…Read More1 Commentpeter posted in the group Open Mic (Open Discussion)
Now the number of members says 53, but I use two for testing and the developer has one, so we’re now at 50 actual community members. But go ahead and invite your friends and tell them to send me their desired username, first and last name and I’ll register them during this period.

Tuesday night, a good friend of mine texted me to tell me that he had an extra ticket to a concert to see a few 90s rockers, STP, Live and Soul Asylum. Seeing some good ol’ rockers and old friend sounded good to me, so I quickly said yes. He even offered to pick me up. Pretty nice.
My friend told me that he and his wife originally planned t…Read More
2 Commentstell me how many songs you can name with a placenta reference in it?
I’m shocked Alice Cooper didn’t come up with that🤪
Live is an awesome band Throwing Copper rocks.
Stone Temple Pilots are one of my favorite bands, Interstate Love Song rules, too bad about Weiland.
Soul Asylum was pretty cool, Somebody to Shove was an okay song.🤘I did look up the bands and none of them have the original members. Live is only the original lead singer of the band, who doesn’t get along with his former bandmates, so he sued, is using the band name, and has a bunch of different musicians. Soul Asylum is also only the lead singer. STP the original musicians with a different lead singer who…Read More

3 CommentsLive, from my hometown of York, PA Of course I was gone when they were forming and playing locally:-(
The lead singer (Ed?) had introduced a song he wrote about York — and I do love the York Peppermint Patty, which I learned from him is made in the town, or at least the company was founded there — although the lyrics for that song were pretty much Spinal Tap territory. I take it the song isn’t very appreciated there. I suppose I could name the…Read More
York Peppermint Patties were made in York, until Peter Paul, and then Hershey bought them. As a kid I used to walk to the factory from my grandmother’s house and buy factory seconds. Still love them.
And yea I recall “Sh-t Towne”, I will say York has come a long way since then, but the eighties it was going downhill.
The older Strand and Capital…Read More

A musician friend of mine recently posted this to Facebook. True. Plus Gilmour is one of my favorite rock guitarists.

Reflecting on this day, 23 years ago and my very non-marketing experience handling a forum for 9/11 World Trade Center attack survivors.

I want to thank two major rock stars.
@cclarry — he’s literally the reason that the Cakewalk Deals subforum (it was just part of their Coffee House Forum, you couldn’t even find it easily; what Ashwin from BandLab calls “the legacy forums; used by an older demographic that BandLab doesn’t really care about) — exist, he’s the person that made…Read More
