Xper 7. Guys in bands no one has heard of don't get anything. Including money, which is evidenced by the fact that he's poor. Wow cool! I look sort of like him, since I like metal and some punk rock. I am 26 myself, plus I dress in black leather and have long hair, dyed silver. The only difference is that I'm a Korean American. But I think it depends on what instrument he plays. I don't know what your boyfriend plays, but I noticed that the lead singer is usually the first choice for the women, the guitarist s are second, then the drummer, but the bassist is last.
It's definitely true, especially on tour. Solo male singers do the same thing. Do you have experience or proof? Show All Show Less. Not unless the band is well-known.

Yes No. But the man standing outside by the stage door, despite the boldness of his move, is rarely viewed as her sexual equal. I asked a male musician friend, whose band's breakout hit became an MTV mainstay in the '90s, his opinion, and he recalled, "We opened for Tori Amos for a few shows and she's got totally fanatical fans who would spill blood for her.
But they are mostly female. A girl is simply less of a perceived threat. The opportunity for a casual hookup to go badly, the potential consequences for a woman, are different and much more serious than they are for a man. So even though Miranda Brown may jokingly tweet, "Step it up with the ladies on tour! I just think it's interesting as I have found it to be universally true amongst lady musicians I've met over the years, which have been LOTS.
Dying young or fading away do seem to be two sides of the same coin. Heads you die young, tails you live long enough to succumb to dementia and decrepitude. Rock is really just life, amplified, and turned up to Music is the most elaborate and sublime courtship signal that ever evolved. And if we are to understand why great musicians are so prone to an early grave, we first need to understand courtship and its costs.
Complex cultural phenomena seldom have single origins, but courtship sits right at the heart of our capacity to make and enjoy music. In most, if not all societies, women and men get to know each other better by listening and dancing to music. From the evening serenades of 18th century Italy to the Saturday night love markets of northern Vietnam, young men and women often sing to one another to woo and win affection.

Often, touring bands don't make too much money. It's a shit reality that we have to deal with. Still, when a band shows up to a venue, what they don't make in legal currency they often make in the second-best paper known to humankind: Drink Tickets. Also, depending on what type of band you are the audience is gonna get wasted at your show.
If there's one thing science has taught us, it's that drunk people in a room tend to start making out. While it's true that sitting in a shitty van makes you sweat and then standing onstage rocking your ass off makes you sweat even more and that there usually isn't a place to shower for days on end when you're touring, guess what?
