bands and their dayjobs

[rhino]

its interesting to hear what some people in bands do as dayjobs. for example, i didnt know mr. tomas lindberg teaches at some high school



"Tomas "Tompa" Lindberg (born October 16, 1972 in Gothenburg) is a Swedish musician who has fronted many heavy metal bands. He has been active as a musician and composer since the late 1980s.[2] He teaches at a high school"

and the old vocalist of bury your dead is a math teacher I think, I know Diego from Disgorge/To Violently Vomit and Obscured Secretions is a carpenter and Ed Talorda from said bands installs Solar Panels

[Syysysyd]

I think he only teaches English as 2nd language to foreigners, not saying it's an easy job but it's not like he teaches literature and stuff

[SCUNT]

I wasn't sure

[FUKKET]

I know a lot of musicians work in the restaurant industry because it's one of the few where you can fuck off for a couple of months to tour and actually have a job when you come back.

i seem to recall someone mentioning that he's employed by BMW, which has a major manufacturing facility right outside greenville. not a bad gig really, especially if they let him take time off for touring. which would be quite remarkable in south carolina -- it's one of the most labor-hostile states in the country, and most certainly the reason they have a manufacturing presence there.

Glen Benton works for Habitat For Humanity

[Shredlord]

One of the guys in Immolation worked for a cable company--maybe their original drummer.



No has mentioned that Mr. V works for Dean Guitars.

[Abzu]

Forklift and, clearly, salesman.

[RitesOfPossession]

If I remember correctly Bob Vigna from Immolation works on sound and lighting for concerts.



Shaune Kelley and Scott Ruth from RIpping Corpse / Dim Mak both worked in landscaping. I think Scott still does that while Shaune now cleans cinemas.

when was a little younger i never really thought about how my favorite death metal musicians might/probably have really shitty day jobs. that really killed my dream of wanting to become a full time musician. i really wanted to become a touring death metal guitarist. i couldn't come home from a tour and go back to a miserable part-time job. i wasn't even planning on going to college until after this realization.

[Mesarthim]

seems like the only way to live off your music these days is if you go down the punk route and get a share house that the whole band lives in - though you still might have to get a job when not on tour.

[mudbuttthegreat]

What do Trey and Pete for a living?

[Mesarthim]

trey plays video games.
