But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.
I was very lucky that more experienced musicians allowed me to caterwaul until I figured out what it was really about.
So I became a producer because I knew one of the reasons was they didn't do them the way I thought was right.
I didn't ever plan to be a producer, and I didn't really know what I was getting myself into.
I would've loved to have been in a band, but sadly I just wasn't good enough.
I feel so lucky to have been in a group where it was a real band. This wasn't a singer and guitar player and some other guys.
I wanted to be in a band that shared ideas and were in it together.
I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.
We worked as a team... I was one of the band.
I wanted to feel like an artist for once in my life. I wanted to use other producers for respect, to let them know that I listen to other people's music and that I'm just not out here on my own page.
