Today is the final installment of my rules of rock. Some of you may be saying that music is suppose to be free spirited to let artist go where the music takes them; trust me, there are some places that music is not supposed to go for good reason.
X. Be Yourself - There isn't a band out there that annoys me more than Good Charlotte. By the looks of them you would think, at the very least, they play some hardcore thrash punk but when you hear Life Styles of the Rich and Famous you think that they radio mistakenly played a different song then they said they were going to and instead played a flavor of the month pop punk band. For the love of Pete (whoever Pete is), it is your life experiences that influence the songs that you write. There is no shame in finding out that the lead singer of some of your favorite punk bands is a PhD candidate (Dexter Holland of Offspring) or has a loving wife and kids at home (Jim Lindberg of Pennywise). You'll get a lot further in life not trying to put on a facade for your musical life.
