Members joel3000 Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hot women abound in LA. Total freaks. There are 1000 things to do on any night. I could live in Santa Monica. Not sure about how many other parts though. Also, great music stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtrwiz Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 and ppl here are chill as {censored} Again, are we in the same city? I've never met more self centered {censored}s as the people I've met here... I don't want to totally bag on LA. I came here 5 years ago because I needed a change, it was definitely good for me. I've gotten to work or hang with the best musicians in the world, that part's been great. But playing gigs here just sucks the high hard one, people at the clubs don't give a {censored}, half hour sets with zero regard for the lineup and the style of music. Acoustic folk chicks followed by death metal, need I say more? The bands that do get a buzz going last a six months tops. I'll say this, if you work behind the scenes, there's no place like it. If you want to be famous, stay in your home town write some killer songs, and you will be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whiteyanderson Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 yeah L.A. is not the best mexican food city. my hometown san antonio takes that honor hands down. people here are self centered flakes. cops suck but, i'm not a toker or whatever i give them NO reason to even look at me. i have to admit though if i sat in traffic all day in a cruiser like those dudes, i'd be busting heads too. remember that movie - falling down? the place has afforded me more opportunities than san antonio though. as far as being here to be famous i agree, no matter where you are the cream rises. good to see so much texas love though!

Members gtrwiz Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 good to see so much texas love though! hell yeah, I'm moving back to Austin next week! It's really surprised me that when I told everyone that I'm leaving LA, not one person sounded surprised and asked why, is if I was crazy for leaving... I mostly got either "I don;t blame you", "I'm outta here soon too", or "man I wish my girls family wasn;t here...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whiteyanderson Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 hell two things i hate about L.A. is i cannot find a good brisket ANYWHERE and i have to buy mesquite at some cork sniffing bbq supply store. i used to go out to my backyard in san antonio and just pick up mesquite off the ground to smoke my 20 lb. briskets. here the only brisket i found was like 3 lbs and "corned".

Members shane159 Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hmmm cheap amps and land of retards or moderately priced amps and affordable living conditions?

Yes Cali is expensive but this video is 100% full of {censored}!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katillac Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 i forgot to mention that after the shoots we have a 6000 square foot studio to practice in for free. the only draw back is that we're surounded by sex toys! You haven't played slide until you've done it using a chrome vibrator.I'm just sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Cali is expensive but this video is 100% full of {censored}!! That video is absolutely true. While it may be possible to buy reasonably priced houses at the moment, when the houses in that video were sold people were overpaying by a ridiculous amount.

I also don't dig mexi-cali. There are some decent thai places. Crap for italian, but I compare that to the north end of Boston, and well, Italy. You can get great steak anywhere. I can't eat sushi (allergic to fish). So, no I'm not high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members la0tsu Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 LA is not the hell that LA haters make it out to be. Neither is it the paradise on earth LA lovers make it out to be. It's another place to live, with certain unique attributes. There's a ton to like, such as music, plenty of stuff to do, weather, and so on. There's also a ton to hate, such as traffic, cost of living, weather (I LOVE winter), and so on. Bottom line - it's a big city, with all of the perks and problems that comes with.

Members TheEsupremacy Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I used to go to LA for business a lot and I'll admit it, hot stuck up girls everywhere, great places to eat, killer music stores, awesome weather most of the time, only problem is - if you drive it takes a day to get anywhere in downtown traffic. I've also never seen more crazy people walking around BEING crazy in one city ever in my life, ok maybe New York...still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
