Sword, I won't talk to any of the guys if I can help it.
That's LL's department, SHE is a people's person,
I feel much better in the background

What did you know about Signs?
*****************************************

I had 1 day experience in selling them and 1/2 a day experience in production



What did you know about internet porn?
****************************************

Nothing, nada, zilch, ZERO



What you did know was people, human nature, what motivates and how to sell
*************************************

a lot, and still learning.
;-))

you forgot
Meni has crabs

I hear they are good with drawn butter
:cryin:

hmmm, wonder how that happened?

:moon: :matey:

Again :awinky: LOL

Congratulations and good luck with it Serge and LL! :)

And as a music buff (oh yeah, and being married to a hair metal band guy ;>), you really should ask them to rethink having Rob Van Winkle as lead...that's the ONLY problem I see with it.

I agree with Amber
lose rob

Time for Serge to start mingling at the rock clubs . :rokk:

Hey the opening band last Saturday was Social Burn and they are from Talahasee FL..

:awinky:

oops
i had crabs
twice
but that was years ago

"In numbers I trust" and Rob just
has returned from his SOLD OUT show in Phily.

Heqdvd is not popular on Oprano but he packs the house
;-))

In my book of values,
the musician who can pack a concert hall and hated by everyone
is better than the one who is loved by everyone but can't fill the empty stadium

as long as he doesn't make public statements that he is more popular than Christ....I don't really care
;-))

I don't think so...they refuse to do that.

My childhood dream finally comes true..
"I don't wanna work, I wanna beat on the drum all day..."
;-)))

Sounds like Rob Van Winkle will draw headlines... hopefully the others will bring the credibility.. now just imagine if Ice Ice Baby turns out to be more media savy and a better singer than everyone expects :yowsa:

Good luck with it you two :okthumb:

Vick,
I ran your posts by Daniel and this si what I got:

As I put together my bio I forgot to tell you I have a Platinum album from Beavis and Butthead television show soundtrack too.

And a Platinum soundtrack album for the soundtrack from Arnold Swarzeneggers movie soundtrack "Last Action Hero" movie.

And a Platinum album for Adam Sandlers movie "Air Heads" soundtrack.

Any many more.

Just do what you do best. The music does the talking.

Haaa Haaa

Over and Out,

P.S.
...and a Platinum album that the band KISS asked me to play on too.




the man is a GIANT! man, I wouldn't wanna fuck this one,
and not sell him,
I wouldn't be able to live with shame..
;-(((

Serge - I have to apologize as I was not aware of some of his other successes
Will make it easier to market them :inlove:
Due Diligence :D

Serge, the reaction you see about VanillaIce is because since he first came out with his really famous song 'Ice Ice Baby' the general concensus is that people and the media have labeled him a 'one hit wonder' type of guy and he is not taken very seriously as a true 'musician'. There's a certain stigma attached to his name that is hard to ignore. It will be hard, even now I think for some people in the music industry and the general audience to overlook his past and give him a 'second chance' so to speak.

Whereas Dan, Nicko and Dave Jr. are highly accomplished musicians that have risen to the top of their respective fields and are household names among rock fans and critics alike.

Hopefully they will balance each other out and we can use his past as a vehicle to create some controversy or buzz in the industry. I think that the more people you speak to about this you're going to find similar reactions when his name is mentioned ...

BUT with a band behind him as hard and as tight as the demo I heard last night, it would be near impossible for him to fail, the music really was a breath of fresh air compared to so much of the mass packaged CRAP that you see on MTV, etc..

JR and I seem to be great motivators :)

heqdvd thinks he is HOT!!!!!!!

(and he was never told that he unless he signed away the royalties he would be thrown off a balcony!)

:devil:

I don't think so...they refuse to do that.

My childhood dream finally comes true..
"I don't wanna work, I wanna beat on the drum all day..."

Better let KC in on this. He has his own drums ;)

Congrats on the new project LL and Serge... As long as life is never dull...

Man I'm going to have old Anthrax tunes running though my head the rest of the day... I love them.... and good ole Vanilla Ice... How exciting

Its not like Vanilla Ice hasn't already tried to turn a new leaf
he's been touring with his hardcore band for years
played a nice small gig in Manchester last year
I had my people in my living room

Yes, please let them know that if they need any help with the Bongo's or need assistance in locating a skillful bongo player, I'll happily provide guidance.

Congrats on the new deal Serge!

-KC

the vanilla ice angle is gonna be a tough one, that's probably going to be make or break
but they'll probalby kick him out before then LOL

i saw a feature on him on mtv ... one of those 1 hour 'where are they now' documentary's and he has been doing some really cool stuff since but hasn't been able to get past the ice ice baby days

i worked in a bar while i went to college, and the band there (the happy butts!) had a version of ice ice baby they did which was hilarious ... i will see how much i remember


alright stop, masturbate and listen
happy butts are back with our brand new invention
underwear. grabs a hold of me tightly
chokes my testes daily and nightly

will it ever stop yo, i don't know
if i take my pants off, i might blow
to the extreme you know i'm so full of bullshit
ripped off a queen song and now i'm a big hit

blah blah

if there was a problem, you i'll solve it
baby sit on my dick and revolve on it


blah blah
quick to the point to the point no faking,
forget the cheese and suck my bacon

rolling. home to my slut
she's a bitch with a needle
girlies on stand by waiting just to blow my ...

etc ;-)

serge, here's the real words so you can peruse his musical genius ;-)))

KC, this is ain't my deal, it's LL's deal,
I work under her,
and love every minute of it
;-)))

for a bowel movement maybe
LOL
:nyanya:

Congrats Serge & LL , All the best with this new and exciting Venture ! Will they make an appearence at the Player Haters Ball ? B)

yes....unless D$ books them FIRST
;-)))

Nice :)

Congrats S & S,

This sounds like something you'll be good at. Will you have to travel much for this or is it strickly behind the scenes?

Holy fuck, nice score!
Nicko is one of my favorite drumers of all time

Dan Spitz is fucking aces too...

Umm, serge, need any music advisors? LOl
Don't forget that Anthraz was also one of the "founding fathers" of thrash metal..fuck, I remember the Clash Of The Titans tour...the three biggest thrash metal acts at the time: Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer (with a little band called Alice In Chains opening). Anthrax also helped usher in rap-metal and even teamed with Public Enemy.

They also penned the greatest moshpit tune of all time "Caught In A Mosh"

Also, I saw Rob Van Winkle in his hardcore band a few months ago and he was actually pretty damn good....I fucking hated "Ice Ice Baby" and his white boy rap shit, but his hardcore stuff is actually pretty good.

FWIW, I do have experience as a concert promoter as well as a a hasbeen/neverwas musician so have seen both sides of the business, you'll have a blast (especially once you get to start messing with riders) :)

:rokk: :rokk: :rokk: :rokk:

for the time being we are cancelling our trip to Italy....

I honestly don't know the answer to your question,
this is step #7 and I can only calculate 6 moves in advance
;-)))

Umm, serge, need any music advisors? LOl

SyKK,
what I DEFINALY would need is website Fan Board moderators,
with knowledge of music and human nature.

are you game?

You bet!

Also, I saw Rob Van Winkle in his hardcore band a few months ago and he was actually pretty damn good....
*******************************************

I'll try taking pictures for the website...

Sykk,
please send Sue your e-mail, so we could start talking $$ and cents

Music marketing seems really difficult on hand and on the other much simplier. I don't know what's involved in management according to LL's job but if it's what I think it is, there's going to be some travel and a lot of head banging.

Years years ago I worked with music promoters to get air time in south florida. It was after the big controversy over large companies paying for air space. It's not illegal, or do they say. So instead of paying them you throw them parties, send them on trips.. lol- all free, of course!

Damn I haven't heard their music in many moons. I'll have to wait till I get home on my fast connection and check it out.

Do you have a CD at your house?

Congrats LL on the new "gig" - sounds like fun! :)

Anthrax...wow...we saw them in '87 when I was 8 months pregnant with my oldest. They were opening for Ozzy in San Diego. The baby never kicked so HARD as when Anthrax was on. I joked that it was because he didn't like them - but hub swore it was because our son was going to be a born drummer.

The kid is an excellent drummer today (at age 13) and his favorite genre? Heavy & thrash metal. All the neighborhood kids think he's weird (hip-hop is all they like) but he loves it.

Congrats! Hope to see these guys @ the PHB - tell D$ to keep his mitts off em! lol

:rokk: :rokk: :rokk: :rokk:

Serge and Sue,

I have several questions for you. I have a lot of connections in the music industry, and I was curious as to what your involvement will be exactly.

I spoke with some friends of mine in the business, and they were under the impression that with the people you are managing they will know more about it than anyone. Your job as a manager will be more in managing the professionals and making sure they do their job, than anything else.

There are several things that can make your life easier. They may or may not already have a booking agency. If they don't I can make some suggestions, and the guys in the band will also have their suggestions. They may or may not already have a PR Firm/Studio. This will also be important, they can handle the branding and publicity.

Have they already recorded an album? If not they will obviously need a recording studio. They probably already have one in mind, but I can make some suggestions here as well.

Do they already have a record deal with one of the major labels? I imagine they have already worked something out here too, but maybe not.

I also have friends who do poster/website/media/magazine design. This is usually something bands like to pick on their own and they often try different firms until they get one that fits. This is something I could help with right away. These guys have done design work for many bands out there and have a great portfolio.

Feel free to hit me up on icq if you want to discuss some of this further. New ventures like this are always exciting. I would love to be of assistance and I am confident I can call in some favors to help out. Although most of my exposure has been on the "Indy" (Independent Label) scene, I am sure the people I know can be of assistance.

Good Luck,

T-Rav,
thanks a bunch!

we'll be in touch towards the end of the week,
we NEVER say NO to the hands throwing life lines
;-)))

What a score! I took recording arts management in school, all it is really is negotiating and babysitting, just like taking care of webmasters! rofl

I'm sure LL can keep Rob in line!

I loved Iron Maiden, Anthrax, Megadeath (hubba hubba) and I used to sing along with Ice Ice Baby, that boy could dance though! Get Rob some boxing lessons, he got his ass KICKED by Todd Bridges from
Different Strokes on Celeb Boxing?!

Here's to Lady Law being the next Sharon Osbourne! :stout:

No problem Serge, my pleasure.

I'm corresponding with your lovely wife as we speak. It sounds like she's got a good handle on it :)).

I'll be around like a doughnut...if anyone needs me...

A big THANK YOU to all of you....I so appreciate your words of encouragement, helpful advice, offers to help.

This is a big fat fun project and I am as excited as I have ever been about anything.

Shann, Sharon Osborne has my sympathies!! Let's just hope Serge doesn't get a zillion tats, grow his hair out, and start mumbling....

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D
