Mein erstes Konzert war von der EAV (Erste allgemeine Verunsicherung). Da ich zu dem Zeitpunkt noch nicht volljährig war, begleiteten mich meine Eltern zu dem Konzert, das sehr geil war. Später war ich dann auf Konzerten folgender Bands:

Ich glaube das waren alle Konzerte auf denen ich war, aber ich bin mir irgendwie gerade nicht wirklich sicher :D Jedenfalls waren alle Konzerte sehr sehr geil bis auf Thumb. Die Band war und ist geil, das war nicht das Problem aber ich wollte eigentlich auf das Konzert von Bad Religion

Auf die Band hatte ich mich einfach mega gefreut, doch leider war ein oder gar mehrere Bandmitglieder krank und das Konzert musste abgesagt werden. Als Ersatz kam dann Thumb. Da war ich einfach enttäuscht obwohl Thumb wie gesagt auch sehr geil war.

And after acquiring all of this knowledge I worked hard to apply what I had learned. In the case of music, I performed in bands and practiced to continuously improve. In the case of engineering I became a Cisco Certified and Baynetworks Certified Network Engineer and worked for many organizations over a 40 year career i.e. Motorola, Nortel, Cabletron, Bay Networks, Cisco, State of New Hampshire, Vital Networks, Bloomin Brands and Tech Data.

Whenever possible, I studied subjects that interested me and that I knew would allow me to earn money and provide for my family. I also studied music, not for the money, but because I love Music and that has always been my dream to earn a degree from Berklee College of Music. Some people say, so what? Who cares? Here is the thing, when we are moments away from death and we reflect upon the life we have lived, what will we think? Will we regret our life because we only did those things that made us money? Or will we have a more balanced appreciation that we utilized our time to not only provide for our family but that we also achieved our dream and thus satisfied our soul? The choice is ours to make and only we, as individuals, can make those choices and be honest enough to own whatever choice we make, and refrain from blaming other people or society, and thus become "victims."

My father once told me the following: "son you've made your bed, and now you must lie in it." Which translated, means that we are responsible for the decisions we make and the consequences of those decisions whether good or bad. Said differently, we must take responsibility for what we think, say and do.

Maybe sit down with the 9 year old and make a list of 5 potential presents and discuss the pros and cons of each gift along with cost and potential applications now and in the future. As a parent I enjoyed negotiating with my children.

For example, when my teenage boy wanted to upgrade his $1,000 Yamaha alto sax to a Selmer Super80 which cost 3x as much, I asked him how much $$$ he was willing to contribute. He agreed to 50%. So I told him that when he had $1,500 saved we would go purchase the sax. In the meantime he continued taking lessons, performing in big bands and youth symphonies while also working 20 hours a week. Within one year he saved the money and we went and purchased the super80 as promised.

Today my son is a professional musician with several degrees and has appeared on many recordings and performed around the world and is now the director of Arts and Music at a prestigious private school in the United States.

I consider these moments to be critical learning opportunities that can help the child develop essential skills such as goal setting, self discipline, responsibility, determination and passion. I hope this helps.

Zombiecore ist eine Ästhetik, die auf dem Gefühl, der Empfindung und der Optik basiert, ein Zombie zu sein. Die Texte sind sehr tiefgründig und sprechen beispielsweise über das Gefühl von Schlaflosigkeit oder Depression, wodurch man sich taub und müde fühlt..
Da wäre einmal die Band Zombiez, die ich gerne höre.. Ja, es geht lediglich in vielen Texten darum, dass man ein Zombie ist. In manchen anderen, wie das Leben ist etc. Dunkel, düster, deep. Wahre Aussagen in manchen Liedern, daher höre ich sie gerne.
Callejon soll auch darunter fallen, aber dass sehe ich nicht so. Sie haben auch tiefgründige Texte, aber es ist eine deutsche Metelcore Band.
Aber wenn du googelst, solltest du vielleicht paar mehr Bands finden. Ich habe tatsächlich nur die eine Band unter Zombiecore, gibt aber bestimmt noch mehr..
Hoffe, dass hat dir jetzt etwas geholfen. 😊

Any of these bands but not in any particular order. When I play along with recordings at home I imagine myself playing on stage with that band so I try to capture the feeling or groove and interpretation whether on guitar or bass guitar. Each one of the bands listed who provide me with an opportunity to learn while playing music/sounds that I personally enjoy. There are many other bands I could have listed, for example Steely Dan who I love especially their great well formed guitar solos. Unfortunately, the Steely Dan you hear in the studio (which is amazing) is NOT the same band you hear live (which is not impressive).

1. The Beatles - to learn how to sing 3 part harmony, compose songs and recording techniques. I would not want to perform live with the Beatles, only studio work. However, I would appreciate playing with Paul McCartney's band because they are absolutely amazing live. In fact, I am going to see Paul and his band perform May 28th in Florida. Got floor seating right next the the mixer. Best sound in the house. :) x1,000
2. The Eagles - to sing 4 part harmony
3. James Taylor - for harmony, song writing and performance
4. Bruce Hornsby and the Range - band has great feel and interesting guitar parts
5. Billy Joel - for song writing, performance and because his music is very guitar centric an demanding for the guitarist
6. The Allman Brothers - two drummers, guitar solos in 3rds, slide guitar and just a great kick ass blues sound. What could be better. Check this out!

The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues ( At Fillmore East, 1971 )

I don't believe that one group in particular deserves credit but certain musical elements were introduced by bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. None of them could be defined as "Heavy Metal" but they helped to lay a foundation which other bands could build on until the genre developed and became easily identifiable. Groups like Saxon, Motorhead and Judas Priest pushed boundaries further and while their earliest efforts weren't "Heavy Metal" either, they certainly moved in that direction and I would consider them as being among the earliest pioneers. In my opinion, the Hard Rock band AC/DC deserved some credit too. As far as the earliest reference to "Heavy Metal" is concerned, it is found on Steppenwolf's debut album from 1968 in their song "Born To Be Wild." Their style was typical Rock music of that era and while there was nothing "heavy" about their music, the song was "catchy" and I'm sure that it inspired a few ideas which became commonplace in Heavy Metal circles. ;-)

Changing careers is difficult because it takes honest soul searching and the willpower and self discipline to create realistic goals, define objectives and then execute your plan. I can only answer this question based upon my own experience.

When I was a teenager I decided to be a full time musician and so I took guitar lessons, practiced, formed a band and graduated from Berklee College of Music. To survive, I lived at home with my parents, taught guitar lessons, performed in bands and worked part time jobs for extra money.

---

In 1979 I rented an apartment, got married and we had our first child. It was at this point that I realized that being a full time musician would NOT pay the bills. So I started reading some self help books and came across a writer/speaker named Zig Ziglar who taught me how to create realistic goals and to prioritize what is important to me. So I created two lists: one list consisted of the careers I was interested in and the other list contained careers I was not interested in. One career that stood out was Electrical Engineering. I was always interested in electricity and electronic devices. My father would fix televisions and radios in the basement and I would frequently watch him and ask him questions.

---

However, the obstacle I had to confront was both financial and time related. Since I had a family and had recently graduated from Berklee but also needed decent employment, I had some difficult decisions to make. And so I found a two year Electronic Engineering program nearby where I could earn my ASEE within a few years and I enrolled. Next, I found employment at a high tech company working 3rd shift as a janitor. Within 2 years I was working 1st shift as a janitor and was cleaning and emptying trash for the CEO and the Vice Presidents. During this time period an electronic technician job became available and I mentioned my interest and my background to senior management. They promised me they would "look into it." Within one week, I had a job interview and was immediately hired to setup, configure and troubleshoot computer/networking equipment in their world wide technical training department. And from there I became a Product Support Engineer and ultimately a Senior Network Engineer with Certifications from Codex, Motorola, Nortel, BayNetworks, Cisco and Cabletron, to name a few. My career lasted 40+ years until retirement 4 years ago.

I hope this information helps you with your own career choice. Remember, it is not easy... but, it is worth the time and effort. Most importantly, NEVER give up!
