I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!



This is a very cool quote from Daney Carey when asked, "How did tool get signed? Any Ideas?How would you recomend getting signed?"



"If you are playing music to get signed, please do me, yourself, and the hole world A favor and quit right now. The last thing the world needs is more shit to filter through when we are looking for sincerity and inspiration in art forms. If you are playing in A band in your local scene and not developing A following, then you don't have A voice or A message that needs to be heard. That's not to say you should quit. You should just quit trying to please other people and play for yourself. Tool only played 7 gigs before the sharks were circling, looking for fresh meat to rob and exploit. The reason for this was every time we played, our friends went home and told their friends about the next gig, who told their friends about the next gig etc. Until by the time we had done 5 shows, the clubs we were playing in were packed. You either have A chemistry that taps into the current or you don't. There is nothing wrong with playing heart felt music that is not trendy or popular but there is nothing worse than someone bastardizing or compromising their art for the sake of popularity and money."



I thought that this was a quote that everyone should read and possibly learn from in one way or another. I know I did. ~Shawn~
