Tim Fezz here at the gateleg . HUGE DAY. I'm done with R+R performance. I'm very happy. I drove by Johnny Hate, my drummer+bassist+saviour on I-95 last Wed. driving to Phillies game vs Pitt. I had not seen him since Oct 26,my last gig. He was in the slow lane , I was in the FAST lane. I yelled over EXILE.

"JOHNNY,JOHNNY,"

No response. I honked my horn. Mimed playing an E chord. My heart beat very FASTWAY. I must get together w/ JOHNNY. Record+Practice........


No More Gigs= I'm Very Happy

I was a DOPE. I'm 46 and a half. I have eaten enough JUNK. ZERO respect. I get crap gigs. I beg. I'm treated like a leper. I should have quit in 2008. We had just played a benefit gig with PeaceCreeps=X-A's Woman's Got the Power fame. It was a WOUNDED WARRIOR show. We were very good that night. 56 people came and left thrilled.

Next week. Drummer almost Od's at practice. The syrup? Oxy? Who knows? I ignored the prone+snoring drummer. I yelled over his size 12 sneakers,

"C'mon Tommy Death,my nervous bassist, play FLESHEATER, you open."

We "practiced", Drummer gurgled. It was OVER.

Dang HYYYYYLLIIOOOOPPPP!

The last 5 years I have floundered on. I had my tech drum for the desolate Jodi King vids. He stopped showing. I recruit Johnny Hate last Summer. We record 4 songs. A drunken Johnny "wipes" them:laugh2:

You know what? I'm not "pestering" Johnny. I want to record one final Dbl Album. Gigs? No thanks. Waiting in pee-stunk bars. Getting scorn from MORONS. Keep it. I'm a recording artist now. :wave:

Wow!

I feel great. I can drive past CRAP Sports bars and not sweat.

OPEN MICs =KISS MY FEZZ

I'm SO much better than you. You will NEVER see FEZZ live. They are too dumb to understand FEZZ. I'll do appearences. Smile. No more humping my KOCH TWINTONE . I'll do comedy gigs. Sponsor CARNATION INSTANT BREAKFAST. Poetry readings. A Poetry comeback........

Tim T sits at the gateleg. FEZZ goes into? A trance? No more craving R+R. Nobody is paying me. FFFFFFFFFFFFaaaaaaaaaarrrrttttt..:laugh2::laugh2:

The fans are rejoicing too, no more 45 minute Paul Stanley lectures from the stage.

Riv , you keep THE FAITH. I'm frustrated. I get GREAT show then year layoffs. Theatre with FUZZ guitar. POETRY show w/ Mrs.FEZZ. I'll play FUZZ guitar solo then recite MINDBENDING poetry. R+R is crap in PHILLY.

I'm with Riv on this. It gets in your blood. Permanently quitting playing out live?

I don't see that happening. But until then, the life of a recording artist can be a rewarding one. :)

No more begging drummers. Comedy +FUZZ guitar. I need nobody. Bands don't work with me. My gigs STUNK. I wanted Mrs. Fezz to see me play R+R. She saw and was awed. Coverbands are what people want and METAL tribute bands. Wry +washed -up Power duos? No. I want ART house + Comedy performance ART. I'm dying . 20 years= 1 unreleased Cd. Three comebacks...WIPED recordings. Drummer Ods. Bassist BREAKDOWNS,,,,,,,,Drunks become sober? FOOLS. I must take control.

Andy Kaufman I LOVE you. I get caught between mediums. POETRY too fey, R+R too many co-workers. PURE ART= easy. I'm going to shoot LIVE comedy vids.

Life is what you make of it.
Gigs are the same.

I play for money, thank.you.very.much.
I jam for free.
I'll play with any of you.

But play in a bar for "exposure?" :laugh2: Fvck no thank you.

I am now working up my new idea - a house band with pretty awesome guests - a $10 cover for a place seating 50 or so. I'm looking to take $8 each and sell a million drinks for the venue.
