Pat Badger, of Extreme, is working on his first solo album, and he's trying to get it funded through Pledge Music. Here's the link: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/badger

Doesn't sound too bad.

To (sorta) quote James Woods in The Hard Way: 'Not if you tied me by my tongue to the tailpipe of your car and dragged me naked over a field of broken glass.' :)

:rofl2:

 

I kinda feel the same way. Not about Pat Badger in particular, but this whole Kickstarter/Pledgemusic crowd-sourcing nonsense in general.

Off topic, that is one of my all time favorite movies!

I count that one amongst my faves, too. I picked up Stephen Lang's Avatar figure just because of his role as Party Crasher. I remember Michael J Fox stating in an interview about how they all expected the Hard Way to be a runaway blockbuster and had only mild expectations for Doc Hollywood and yet the reverse occurred. The Hard Way is must see viewing for those who have yet to see it!

Its a brilliant way to do it. Not only does it ensure a band can afford to make an album, it also allows people who pledge early access to the album and a whole bunch of other exclusive bits n pieces.

Its hardly nonsense considering how well it works.

Is paying up front to get the album made any different to preordering a CD and paying up front?

If they reach their target you get your album and whatever else you pledge for. If they dont reach their target, you dont get anything and no money is taken from your account.

Yeah, I'm all for crowd-funded projects.

Well... I don't like this

For real? I mean, I know a lot of guys aren't gonna love this, but it isn't offensive to the ear either.

Yeah not offensive to the ear, can't put it into technical terms but it just doesn't grab me. I usually like crowd-funding etc. makes a good release more ''special'' to have an additional sort of connection to it but will not be supporting this one cause there's just so much other stuff I'd rather listen to.

 

I recently made a pledge to the Nasty Habit Kickstarter project for financing their next EP, didn't really like the last album they put out but I figured their next release would / could be better cause I think they have potential (mostly production-wise) so I just went for it. But it's not looking to good so far they only reached about 1/3 of their goal...

I've heard a few of the new Nasty Habit tunes.. I've got to say that the new ones are better than the ones from the first release. Seems like the songs are constructed better. You've got to remember how young they are, I don't think any of them are older than 20.

Got nothing against crowd-funded projects ... but this does nothing for me ...

Cool, you see them live or heard demos? What you said, ''constructed better'' that's exactly what I was thinking / hoping they would do next time around.

 

P.S. Anybody know if the total goal for a project can be found on pledgemusic? Can't seem to find it for example on kickstarter and indiegogo you always see how much the goal is.

I got nothin' against Pat Badger or this project... if he's got enough fans willing to fund it, then good on him.

 

That seems like a mighty big "if" though... realistically, are there really THAT many people out there saying to themselves, "You know what the world really needs? A solo album by the bass player from Extreme!"??

 

Just sayin'.

I get what you're saying, and I agree. I'm not blown away by this. It's a nice piece of Melodic Rock, but I have not funded this, nor will I.

The sound cloud for the first song doesn't work anymore, but I'll admit I like this tune plenty enough. I hadn't ever even checked this thread out for all the interest it instilled in me, but I'm a little interested now.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}

    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
