Thoughts of a DJ: Why music matters to me & what really makes a band

Hey everyone DJ Dizzy here with another thought that's way overdue to be heard I'm going to talk about what music means to me. Its not just what you hear on the radio or see on TV by way of a video Its a lot more than that its something you feel both inside & out.

Its a feeling of euphoria that you feel & whenever you feel it within the song you hear or sing then others will soon sense that as well. That's just apart of what makes a true musician or a singer. Not just living some lifestyle or to have a lot of money. You have to really hear & feel the music within to really get an understanding. But also you have to remember this when your in a band.

Musicianship & talent on your instrument are important but there's more to being in a band than that. You have to remember Cs which are compassion, cooperation, courage, confidence, & Comradery with your bandmates. I say this a lot because I tend to notice with some bands there's a lot of fighting
because someone wants to be the front person , always in the spotlight because they feel they made the band or group what it is & without them they'd be nothing.

In fact I can't tell you how many times I've seen bands break up over something like image or ego that's not what being in a band should mean but rather just taking the time to be more considerate of others. You have to remember everyone deserves their fair share of spotlight & their chance to shine so any lead singers check the ego at the door. Also know this its not always going to be about how good you sound but how well you can play & let your confidence  shine through your performance & through your playing.

You also have to have the courage to be about the music & of course to have fun with the song set really change it up. Don't also forget to cooperate with your bandmates when it comes to some of their ideas & suggestions because sometimes they might have something to offer if you just take the time to listen to what they're really saying.  & remember always that compassion for your fans & your friends & bandmates will keep you level headed.

Bottom line is don't let the fame go to your head because it can do a lot to you if you're not careful.
Being in a band can be hard work but its all worth it & as long as you can have fun & get in just a bit of practice then you should be okay.

Music means a lot to me because its a real rush when I hear my favorite song on the radio or on TV because once it starts I can't help but crank up the volume & rock out loud.  As I mentioned already its just a feeling of euphoria that you feel when you get into it. Its not so much about the fame or fortune but just to have fun & bringing people together because they sense your passion for music.
As it should be.

Well I just thought I'd share that thought so keep it in mind for those who might want to become a musician or join a band. & remember to have fun with it because fame & fortune isn't worth having.
Until then be radically righteous & I'll catch you on the flipside.

Rock n roar- Lyrics

Rock N Roar -  Lyrics

(Hard rock instrumental)

(Verse 1) 

Got an instrument & my voice

And I’m going to use them both by choice.

The music’s in my blood

I can feel it bleeding out.

When the beat hits me it makes me

Want to shout. (Wow!)

Not holding back anything

That’s right the time is now!

 

(Chorus)

Tonight we’re going to rock n roar!

 (Leave them begging for more.)

We’re going to rock & roar

(Really rock the dance floor.)

Get rid of it hard as you try

Rock n roll will never die

We’re going to rock & roar!

(Get loud & make some noise!)

 (Verse 2)

No use in holding anything back

That’s when I attack I’ve got the urge to

 Rock n roll!

When then beat hits the crowd

No doubt we’re going to shout it loud

Feel the rhythm enter your soul!

(Lose control)

(Chorus repeats)

(Guitar solo, Instrumental.)

(Chorus repeats twice.)

 

 

Invincible-lyrics

Invincible-Lyrics

(Hard rock instrumental)

(Verse 1)

I’ve a feeling deep inside

A spark within my soul

Giving me the courage to rock n roll

In it together we’re standing tall

Nothing to take us down no way we’ll fall.

 (Chorus)

Together we are invincible.

Unstoppable & incredible

 (Verse 2)

There’s nothing in this world that we can’t take

Try to step to us? Well big mistake.

We’ve got the power of teamwork on our side

We wear our courage like a badge of pride.

Here we stand sibling together

freedom fighters & heroes forever!

(Chorus repeats)

(Guitar solo.)

Whoa-oh we are invincible!

(Repeats)

Jules: Here we are siblings together

Freedom fighters heroes forever

(Repeats twice.)

Tonight we’re going to let loose

No time for holding back.

Rile up the crowd with our hardcore sound.

Tonight is going to be memorable.

It’s something extreme.

So if you can I want to hear you scream!

(Chorus)

Feel the fire as we bring the heat.

Really going to bring the beat.

We’re on the scene

We’re going to make you scream.

Throw your hands in the air

all of you people everywhere.

Shout it out

(Verse 2)

Let your head go straight up

Ballistic we’re coming at you full force.

Nowhere to run or hide let’s hear 

you shout till you get hoarse. 

We’re going to rock you

off the dance floor.

Really pour it on &

leave you begging for more.

(Chorus repeats)

(Guitar solo, Keyboard solo.)

This night is going to be extreme.

We want to hear you scream!

(Chorus repeats twice.)

We want to hear you scream yeah!

Shout it out!

DJ's Spotlight: An Interview with Hidden Scars

Hello everyone Its DJ Dizzy here now recently I did an interview with Hidden Scars. Take a look,

Okay how'd you get started in music?

When I was 7 my friend from across the street and I would shimmy the lock to his Uncles room while he was gone  all day. That's where we would keep all his KISS records and  mags. Eventually we got our own KISS cassette collection going, and would dress rehearse KISS shows to their music. It wasn't until 6 years later than I actually picked up a guitar from a homeless guy who was camping in my Dad's backyard, which led to me learning to play, write, and sing, and start my own band by age 14.

How would you say that music has impacted your life?

It has been the deciding force of everything I've done with my life since I was a kid. It defines who I am as a person, and it reflects everything that goes on in my life from relationships to mental emotional and spiritual highs and lows. It also has helped me to look at the world and the universe from an objective and open point of view.

Who's your main inspiration?

I could never name one single person as my main inspiration. Trent Reznor, David Lynch, and Anton LaVey come to mind. Other than that it is the flow of life, and the movement of nature both dark and light that keeps me inspired. People and moments that come and go. 

Any new gigs or music in the works?

Hidden Scars is a brand new project that will be fully active this Summer '18 with a fully produced EP release, music video, and live concert tour dates around the U.S. Please visit HiddenScars.com for updates, demos, and lyric videos.

What advice would you offer to any up & coming bands or performers?

Manifest your own destiny. Don't settle for 9-5, 40 hours a week modern day slavery. Don't let anything or anyone pull you away from your music. And do not wear out your local market by playing the same bar/club circuit in your home town. Get yourself out there and play as far and wide as possible.

& there you have it Hidden Scars is a band that does nu metal which I hope that you enjoy & I wish them nothing but good luck in everyone of their endeavors.

So until then be radically righteous & Catch you on the flipside!

A poem for Chuck Berry

A poem for Chuck Berry

A real & true rock n rolling pioneer
who mad music for one & all to hear
The legend introduced to many generations
through many decades your songs & music
are forever a true inspiration.


Though you left the world at your peak
which to us was way too soon
you left us dancing & your guitar playing
was enough to make us swoon.

You'll forever be a musical icon
Who taught us that rock n roll
will never die because of you
your message & music live on!


Hail hail rock n roll medly
