Other 'valid' reasons you/I may post less and less frequently is that:

1) you 'wouldn't want to offer a turd', twice.

2) Worse, you get tired of getting diss'd on the forum (lack of feedback from those you love).  You are dependent on each other, as loving persons, not actors.

3) Your song is almost impossible to get finished right as you await inspiration

4) Your collab partner diss's you (per Shawn, Chappel, myself, etc.).  Procrastination: "Delay is ever fatal to those that are prepared"

5) You don't want to be a burden, stumblingblock, offense, troll, etc.

6) Your/my message, performance, skills, etc. you dutifully 'discover': vanity of vanities!  Ouch!

7) You want to play/perform with those who are honest, serious, and not too manic-depressive (I fear we all are a bit wacko)

These might be completely valid reasons, IMHO, to stop printing vain songs on this forum and wait awhile.

Phillip, this sounds so cynical :-(

...As far as "covers"<~~~My take on this.     I have worked with alot of
musician's in the last 6 years doing live sound engineer work.
Some bands can pull off a good cover while some bands smoke their own
music, but when it comes to a cover,  they fall short.

I have to work with bands that do cover's alot.  They are mostly bands
for hire  to provide entertainment in a variety of events like private parties,
You have to be able to do cover's.    Alot of them or else your not going to get
the job.

One of the best "cover bands" ever were The Beatles. They took other people's music and made it their own. That's the way I approach doing a cover. I never try to "copy" a song and the original is just a starting point. It's like all the actors who have played Hamlet on stage. Same character on paper but a good actor becomes the role and puts his own interpretation and inspiration into it.

Yeh, just make up a form response :-) It's much more time efficient. If you word it carefully, it can work for any song. 

Now there is an idea whose time has come My new form response is it's entirety:

No How


Not sure i get it....in fact i'm sure i don't.

WTF is important about post count?  I'm lost.

It could be that some of us really do like most of what we hear.    If i could hear all the wrong stuff in these tracks i'd be good enough to not need posting my stuff here.
I can't hear it.  So i post.  If you really think ppl just spew out crap to build a post count then i agree, the forum is dead.

I've been around here for few years and i can honestly say i've VERY Rarely witnessed someone getting bent out of shape over criticism.   I can count on one hand the times i've seen it happen.  Nothing wrong with not commenting because that's the way you deal with not liking it.  But to not comment because you worry you sound insincere is not the kind of thinking that keeps ANY forum going.

Rick, you totally missed my sarcasm...I was having some fun at my own expense, cuz in fact us here at Factory Yoyo don't pull punches!

The forum is dying because too many people are commenting on this thread? And not enough people are commenting on the music being posted?
