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

I just updated the Getting Start with LinkedMusicians Guide to include a section on how to create a forum signature and will continue adding to it to make it as helpful as possible to the community. If you haven’t read the Guide, be sure to do so, it should answer your questions about how things at the site works. If you find you still have…Read More

Hello everyone.
I’ve been focused on enhancements and problem-solving and haven’t had a chance to do much posting, but now that the site is running smoothly, I can spend more time using the site to post and enjoy the community. I realize that getting acclimated to a new site isn’t easy and there have certainly been bumps along the road — and…Read More

1. Queen

Wait, 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.

Music is art. It’s subjective. I was just having a little fun with you and even more fun with Kiss fans. My tastes are pretty wide. My kids were shocked that I like some Rhianna and country songs and kid me about 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 More-
I 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
CCR.
Never liked what John Fogerty and the others were up to.
Guess I’m not really into rock.

Total 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

I love the way Navarro plays🤘

I agree. Do you remember when he was briefly with the RHCP and fans hated on him? I always felt bad for the guy.

He was great in the peppers, that could have been awesome if they would have given it more time. too bad that didn’t work out.
One Hot Minute: was a rockin album Falling into Grace is a great song.
Dave Navarro Is An Incredible Guitarist!

The Forums Editor has just been upgraded. Let me know what you think. We went from barebones, to pretty nice. I really like it a lot. So make some posts and let me know what you think of it. @cclarry , I just installed it, so you may have been posting with the previous version. If so, refresh your browser , test it out and let me know what you…Read More

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

Getting used to how things work around here 😊, great work Peter, really awesome all you’re doing.
One thing… previously i was able to see new post signaled as new posts, but that mark is now gone, dont know if its something with my profile or if there were some changes in that regard?

Are you referring to the Groups or Forums? If you lost functionality in the Groups, it’s because I just took away a major plugin used on the site that had problems since the last theme update
to allow the developer to troubleshoot.-
Oh i see but i was talking about deals forum, the latest new posts did not appear signaled as new posts.

I think I managed to get myself banned over on the CW forum for trying to link this and the reddit site and trying to pass on the good vibes for this site. I’ve never seen LITERALLY years of good will and positive PR get flushed so quickly. I think of myself as a pretty fair minded and even decent guy. But f’em. Really.

You monster, you just got around my ingenious swear filter! Banned! Remember to remind me to ban you later. I’ve got the site to work on at the moment.
That’s sarcasm, of course. It’s a really weird, petty ego thing that a software QC employee promoted from customer support — which is funny, because the guy has zero people skills — has a…Read More

Peter, got a number of old Cakies lining up to enlist. They sent me a PM through the Cake forum. What do I tell them?

That’s awesome! Tell them that they can shoot me an email at LinkedMusicians at Gmail dot com with their first and last name (an alias or initial is okay for last name) and desired username and I’ll get them registered.

Will do!

Thanks, Fleer. I feel similarly about you. I’m very glad that you’re here.

Got a request to join from Solit over at the Cake forum. Which email should I give him?
Fleer my man, you’ve just been Censored, ‘again’ lol
Hope you don’t get a ban, there’s work to be done 🙂-
Oops 😉

@fleer Give everyone the linkedmusicians AT Gmail address.

Meanwhile, I looooove the dark look.

Now that we have the LinkedMusicians Forums are operating smoothly — and I’ve figured out the moderating that was holding up some posts — I’m going to consider the present functionality of the first release of the site and focus on taking care of any issues moving forward, as opposed to focusing on adding new functionality. Now, that doesn’t…Read More

TECHNICAL UPDATE: While we’re troubleshooting a posting issue in GROUPS, consequently, the appearance of the GROUPS / SOCIAL WALLS will temporarily lose some of its design and functionality (i.e., posting animated gifs from giphy, friend requests, etc.).

Robin Guy, celebrated and much-loved drummer, has died.

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 Comment-

@fleer Here’s a screenshot of the new topics counter at the forum that I added after your request. I tested it on my PC and my mobile (Android). If you don’t mind, I’d be grateful if you could go back and if you can’t see the topics count, if you could please take a screenshot and post it or send it to me.

I think I do have a plugin I know of. I was just waiting to see if people asked for it. The challenge with all of these plugins/scripts is that each one can conflict with another, and adds to the weight of the web pages (making them slower to load and impacting how they perform in search engine results). So, I’ll give it a try. If all goes well,…Read More

@fleer I just installed it and I think it’s decent. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Not seeing it yet, Peter, could be because I’m using my phone.
Edith: now I see why. On a phone you have to scroll to the right. If possible, it would be great if we could have a ‘number of replies’ badge next to each thread.

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. I just don’t want to open to the general public until everything on…Read More

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.

tell 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

Peter,
I am so glad to be here.
I have been moving some furniture in and doing some decorating to the new place but from what I see so far, this is going to be a very wonderful place for all of us to meet and share our love for music and inspiring others.
Joyfully yours,
Simeon
