Anka's career has been over since the early 70's. Sounds like an unstable kook. He's not Frank Sinatra, but he wants to be (wrote a song for Frank back in the day). His back up singers ouught to bust Anka's chops in the parking lot and not keep taking this shit. Grow some balls guys, you can get another gig. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Yes, I would. His attitude is precisely why he is still popular and still puts on a great show. There is no room for slackers in the music business. Paul Anka... is not a slacker.

Paul Anka has performed, written or co-written over 900 songs and still sells out everywhere he plays. His band is TIGHT. They nail everything (or else!!).
Thats how it should be. Your right though.. I am sure the musicians he is yelling at could get another job easy.. at friggin Guitar Center. Playing in Paul Anka's band would be killer. Touring all over the world would also be killer.

Paul Anka is too uptight - Anka needs to switch to Sanka! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Ozzy should hire Anka as a permanent liaison to deal with Sharon. Picture Anka bossing her round da kitchen as she tries making sauce - THAT would be friggin awesome! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I remember hearing a cd of collected rants to a backing band by Buddy Rich and it was hilarious.

I don't know how old this is but as a business owner I know exactly how he feels. I know he sounds like a dick on this but damn he is sooo right on. Most people will take your money and not give a single fuck if your buisness stays or fails. Unfortunately, you have to be that way with people. If your an owner of whatever type of business and your support people are always 100%, consider yourself the lucky one. You are the exception not the rule!

Re: You want THIS GUY as a bandmate!

Just a little overkill on the emphasis of making a point, there's beating it into peoples skulls and then there's bludgeoning them to the point of death in correction.
I understood it is an issue of 20-30 thousand dollars somewhere in here but the guy is such a ranting finger in your face ass chewing dick I wouldn't work for him. I would have to record his meetings as well.

Personally I think he needs to team up with Pat Boone and make a new HM remake of Uriah Heap's "That's the way that it is" and take it on the road.

At one time, alot of people thought Green Day were slackers-well they're sittin on top now. They may not display arrogant virtousity on their instruments in every song...but from what I've heard, there's enough chops there to win them a grammy.

Re: You want THIS GUY as a bandmate!

hey 20 -30 thounsand dollars can turn Italians into a finger in your face ass chewing dicks..

That's a tradition! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hell 20 - 30 cents can do that sometimes.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: You want THIS GUY as a bandmate!

It's his name, and his money and he does have a right and need to protect his business interests, and he is right, when he is the center of attention, you have to watch and be in synch with him like you are his limb.

I've worked for guys where it is hand signals and cues from the front all the time and you have to be in focus on him - it's a lot different.. you miss it and it is a discussion to butt chew at the end of the night. The only difference is likely the amount of money. I figure these guys are union and they've been referred by the union to their jobs.
