I do not see why you guys are hung up on your age ..... I work with people 20 years older and 20 years younger than me all the time. Have a more open mind about this nonsense.

I think it comes from the industry being hung up on age, which it can be. Trust me I'm 45 and feel no different then I did 25 years ago, my playing, singing and writing is light years ahead of where it use to be, hell I could be in this band if I wanted, I just can't tour right now. I didn't say anything about age in the opening post but I personally see a little skinny 20 year old rockstar standing next to her. I think for this project image is important and I don't have the luxury of being unrealistic, those days are long gone. There's a lot money riding on this and it has to be done right.

On another note we just got a rough back of the video for the song 'Hold On To You', it looks killer.
 
I know just what you mean James .... I well be 45 in a few weeks. I am very aware of how image can be a big part of the whole package. But it does not mean people should not try if they have a real interest. Most of the people I work with are less than a 10 year difference.
 
i'd jump on it. nothing to lose myself except moving. wouldnt be a problem for me at all complexity wise but its not my music style - i doubt they will like the european style of music that i write nowdays with rhythm, keyboards, and lead guitar.

good luck to whoever fills the spot though :)

I'm with you.

I think you offering this and keeping us in a loop for the oppurtunity just shows you are very fair minded and decent. Thanks and best of luck on getting the right guy. :)

Damn, so I guess the slightly out-of-shape 41-year-old rockstar is out??? DAMN! :doh:

J/K James, thanks for presenting such a cool opportunity man, I'm sure plenty of dudes will be clamoring for it! Good luck- :rock:
 
Do you have room to store my walker during the audition? Also, adult diapers are cool as long as I wear baggy pants, right?

Thanks for your consideration!

What about buff 22 year old rock star that plays a pink guitar? :D I'm in a band at the moment but I'd drop it in a heartbeat to tour globally...

I have enough chops for the project but will there be any creative input?...

You should give Gregg Cash an email. Though I will tell you this not really about 80's chops at all, it's more about a rhythmical vibe and feel, especially the second half of the record. Some drop tuned stuff, (C#, C, B) that really is about the right tone and feel. More Evenesence, Breaking Benjamin, A Perfect Circle. So for a guy that's into RR, VH, Ratt etc this may not suit you and you may not suit it but give Cash an email if you want to check it out. I really feel this is going to be big, without going into details, let's just say there's a lot on momentum behind this.
