Your Earlier Wrong Assumptions Related to Music

For long time I thought the band Pagan Altar was some black metal, after all with such a name what can it be? Well it's some really good doom metal . A must listen for clean vocals doom.

Well, I was between 7-9 years old or so then. I guess it was like, "hey aliens can be real," kind of thinking. Monsters are amongst us!!!

In the beginning (i.e. early teens) I thought that quality and beauty were objective notions, so I thought that it was impossible not to like Kayak's Merlin suite... until I met someone who really didn't like it (first I thought he was lying...).

I remember the first time I heard a live album (Moody Blues Caught Live +5) and the side opened with crowd noise, I thought it was something wrong with the record.

When I discovered what would become my favourite band-Germany's Triumvirat -in 1985, and I read the credits on the back of my lp copy of "Illusions On A Double Dimple", I assumed that Lead vocalist/bass and 6 and 12 string guitarist Helmut Koellen who was listed on the record was still living-sometimes you just automatically assume things-but then read the depressing news on "The Triumvirat Bio" published on the net in the 1990s that poor Helmut had died way back on May 3rd, 1977! It hurt when I read that he was a member of "The 27 Club", but at least I found out what had happened.

When I was a kid I thought the “producer” listed on the album was like a conductor for an orchestra. I used to grab a couple of spoons and pretend I was Tony Clarke “producing” for the Moody Blues.

When I was a kid, I had an annoyingly loud voice. My mum was literally turning her head towards some other directions when I was telling her something with enthusiasm. Then, I became a teenager... I was thinking that I have a super talking and singing voice, until... I recorded my voice to a cassette. It was a massive frustration... Then, I worked on my vocal technique (by myself) at university, and became an accomplished amateur singer. AND my voice became annoyingly loud again. I was warned many times by my teachers, during our free intervals because of this; while everyone of us were chatting. Even when speaking normally, my voice was always loud. But my teachers also were giving me the job of reading texts to the class.

Now, I accept myself as I am. No complaints or anything...

I think maturity is a good thing. Who would want to live with their wrong assumptions forever?

I wasn't aware about the bass drums, and that drummers play with their feet as well as their hands. So, while I was air drumming, I was accompanying everything with my hands.
