I have seen the gamut of professions on here. From medical doctors to college students. I'm curious as to whether you would seek out a "professional" for their services knowing that he/she was a horn dog member of TUSCL? And I am not including prostitutes when I say professionals.
To me it would be a matter of what I thought of their comments. Credible, informative, non trolling, etc.
Maybe if they seemed particularly knowledgeable. For example, SJG is the first person I would think of if I needed a Mexican bar table dancing consultant. But there are limits. For example Dougster knows finance, but I'd never hire him as a financial consultant. He'd charge by the hour and spend the first 55 minutes of our meeting denegrating the System.
I've spent my whole life in original bands. My last was a doom metal band that kicked ass but was very unprofessional. I was asked to join my current band and they had management and work, so I figured I'd try it out. And this band is a blast! We play all the time and are playing a July 4th festival in front of many thousand people. That's pretty cool IMHO. Seems we're the only Cheap Trick tribute band in the Chicagoland area and people really like us...we always get asked back when we play a new place.
So yeah, I didn't quite sell my soul but for now it's on loan I suppose.
You must be as old as I am! Those days are gone for working local bands. We get the 40+ crowd since they grew up with Cheap Trick, but that's cool because they have $. Mostly divorced but dating couples actually, which is a HUGE demographic as it turns out. We're their 'date night'. I did have a woman hit on me recently but she was too drunk for me to want to deal with her.
Motorhead: Yes, when I was learning guitar Neilson influenced me quite a bit. Both his ability to play sounds as opposed to notes, and his use of diminished scales instead of the basic pentetonic blues scales most peole fall back on. It's ironic I'm now playing his songs.
"For example, SJG is the first person I would think of if I needed a Mexican bar table dancing consultant."
I would have been very good in that capacity. But unfortunately I don't think there is anything left of that circuit. Maybe in Watsonville or Salinas. It runs completely underground and word of mouth.

I agree on the quality or humor of their comments.
Im a proooofesional ass whole
Rockstar could play at my party, if I like the playset......
Strip club goers I have no issue with, people with gambling problems and drug issues I do not want to deal with.

I really enjoyed those places!
