Your job in music is......?

if you could have one job in the music industry without being in the actual band, what would it be? would you be the producer? the choreographer(even rock bands have those now..sheesh)?the promotions director? the sound coordinator?the list goes on and on..............

oh lord mike you're gonna start a trend. now everybody is gonna say "groupie" lol

I'd be the guy that just hung around and caused dissension in the ranks while drinking all the booze and telling the groupies that "I'm with the band."







NP: "River Song" - David Coverdale

Roadie. That'd be f*cking tight as hell.

The CEO of a major label. I could always use more money.

I would be the bus driver......yup defiantly the bus driver.

I'd love to be the merch girl cause you get to watch the show, travel and meet cool new people all the time. Best job ever

I'd be the pyrotechnics guy, I love blowin stuff up.

EDIT: Actually now that I think about that has nothing to do with the music industry at all, haha.

Producer would be great. You?

Ooohhh! Can I be the choreographer?

The band isn't looking for someone with dance experience, are they?

producer

The member that got kicked out of the band just before they get famous - yet still collects a percentage of the royalties - so getting paid to do nothing

a music the journalist.
you get to travel, interview bands, hangout with bands, go backstage..you can photograph and you get to write.
how awesome??

I was trying to get into engineering for a little bit, and it was a very cool experience. If I could get paid enough to pick my projects and only do a couple a year I would probably do that, but that job is the divorce machine and the hours can really suck. Incredibly rewarding though when you like what you're working on.

I guess that is trying to be realistic about it, I suppose in that regard and with the same parameters the producer would be the cooler way to go with it, but I would be an awful producer. Too timid.

A couple buddies of mine are trying to get into the management and promotion side of things which sounds pretty exciting from listening to them talk about it. That would more realistically be my choice. Trying to shop a band and a record you believe in. Making someone with a lot of talent who nobody knows about a successful group. Sounds incredibly rewarding, and it could pay pretty well by percentage if anything comes of it, and the hours don't have to be so ridiculous (I'm married and trust me the hours involved with making a record are just unhealthy). It is a gamble though, I guess like any time you work based on a percentage. You could end up doing a lot of work for nothing.

I'd definitely be the tour manager!!! =)
Or the merch girl. =)
Or the guitar tech......=)...
I can't decide! One of those three. Or all three, no actually..that's suicide, three jobs? That's what I call stress. Lol.

If I wasn't doing my Solo music career right now.
I'd be either a Drum/or Guitar Teacher or an Artist Manager.

For real...=)

Roadie or Merch Person

groupie! (just kidding)

seriously I would take any job like working the merch table, bus driver, promoter, manager... whatever!!!

I'd be a sound engineer, because it is really interesting technically. I've done it before, and it's basically getting paid for listening to cool music and making sure everyone can hear clearly, that all the channels are working and the equipment is functional. You learn loads! =oD

i want to be the person who takes the pictures of all the bands on warped tour

i think that would be the best job ever

Lol at Mike and Dave :)


Just 1? Could I go for a combined role? It would keep the bands costs down!

I'd be the person in charge of wardrobe, staging promo photos, I'd design the album art, and be an unofficial roadie.

that's a really good question, if i can choose, i would be the song writer or the producer
