"Back in the day when I started my music career, I met some really nice people who were there when I was in need after the murder trial, and they were there when I attempted suicide. They were only there then, but never when it came to music. When it comes to music, I have had no success. Multiple album flops, a record label that is not respected at all, no fans, and a lost desire of what I could have been. I feel that, while I have the support of the artists signed to my label, I have no support from anybody else. I feel that my music career is a waste of time from the good music of Stacey Walton, Hellspawn, Mind, Infinite, MattY, just to name a few. I feel that retiring from the music game is the only realistic option now... I don't want it, but I feel that I must. I will wait 1 week before I make my decision. Thank you for your time, but I must be going now." |

Malory: Completely up to you. You should take your experiences to actually create GOOD music that has a meaning. |

I dunno dude, it's completely up to you. If you aren't getting enjoyment out of music, then maybe it's time to quit. But, if you're going to leave; don't leave because of what other people think about you. Not to sound like a whiny person, but nobody paid attention to Infinite until Blue Nebula was released. We had to deal with being completely ignored, every musician does. If you feel like nobody's paying attention to you, that might be because you haven't proved yourself to your audience and critics yet. In the end, though, it's your choice.

Infinite released four albums over the course of their career; Blue Nebula, Midnight Skies, Insomnia, and Dancing about Architecture.)

I invariably answer, 'one word at a time', and this answer is invariably dismissed. But that's all it is. It sounds too simple to be true, but consider the Great Wall of China, if you will: one stone at a time, man. That's all. One stone at a time. But I've read you can see that motherfucker from space without a telescope." - Stephen King |

Yeah, good point... almost every musician, then. Still, there are alot of talented people who go unnoticed for so long, I guess that's what I'm trying to say.

MattY: Right, i have a lot of respect for you HP, and i think that if this industry aint what you hoped it would be its time to go, sometimes shit happens - you gotta deal with it. If you just need a break, have a break man, it doesnt matter what other people think, make this decision on your own and then who knows what will happen. Yeah, all im trying to say is that i think its a shame that your thinking about losing it, but if thats where you wanna go - do it man. |
