COME CHECK OUT SIN CITY'S "RAW FOOTAGE" PERFORM AT THE GOOD TIMES PUB IN ELMHURST. SEE THE CALENDER BELOW FOR MORE INFO.
What up everyone?! My name is Josh Gilbert. Music has been my life for as long as I can remember. I picked up a guitar when I was five years old and it has stuck with me ever since. I currently play for a " Ruff Ryder " named Sin City in a hip hop/rock group called Raw Footage . Prior to my latest gig, I've played guitar for other Chicago based acts such as Dead To Fall ( Victory Records ), and Desolate/Shades of Silence. I have unbelievable passion and ambition for my talent and try to get by with as few distractions as possible. In good time, I plan to put more audio/video clips of my material up on this page to help get my name out there. I also look forward to meeting new people and possibly getting in touch with old friends.
Who JOSH GILBERT would like to meet:
*Anyone who appreciates and is a fan of my music. Thanks for the support peeps!
*Musicians who play for the passion. That's where it all starts. If you are in it for that reason and have something to promote, like I do, let's get each other's backs! I'd be more that happy to be a friend.
*Someone who can carry a conversation about music based on their OWN opinion and doesn't narrow their tastes down to one genre. Music is one of the most expressive forms of art. Having a strong, open-minded opinion about it builds character, and I have respect for that.
*Someone who has a good sense of humor.....and can laugh at dirty joke. Laughing is one of the healthiest excercises you can do, so quit bein' such a damn stiff!
*FUCK GEORGE W. BUSH! If you share a similar opinion, we're off to a good start.
*Someone who has an appreciation for cinema. I love to reference lines and talk about scenes from a good flick. Some of my personal favs are The Big Lebowski, The Shining, Pulp Fiction, and The Usual Suspects.
*If you are an A.A. freak, I don't wan't to know you because you are an idiot. Alcoholics Anonymous (or any other similar help programs) teaches morals, integrity, but mainly self-discipline. I like to party, but I also understand if you can't and I respect that. If A.A. helps you, use it to your advantage. At the same time, keep in mind that it was created for the masses, so read between the lines. Even the "Big Book" states it, "Take what you need, and leave the rest."
*Girls, I like someone who is in touch with their sexuality and exudes it. I'm not talkin' about hoein' it up at the club and being a slut either. It's about having confidence and comfort, and if you have that, it all falls into place. Don't be afraid, be sexy!
*Someone who isn't about all about how much of a "pimp" he is. In fact, every time you bring it up, your "pimp points" drop drastically. So do what former President Teddy Roosevelt suggested, "Walk softly and carry a big stick.", because that's what the biggest "pimps" do.
*FUCK YOU CARLOS MENCIA! You are the reason what's wrong with America. You make ignorant, unwitty, unintelligent "remarks" (I refuse to call them jokes, because they're not funny) about racism in our country that actually reflect on who you really are. YOU are the ignorant, unwitty, unintelligent, RACIST! Anybody could have came up with the crap you blather about on your lame-ass excuse for a television show. The only reason you have a fanbase is because you are of ethnic descent, so therefore you have ethnic support. Sure, the racism sensitivity level has drastically gone down in the last twenty years, and other television shows crack jokes on racism, but at least South Park and Family Guy are clever enough to be ironic, euphemistic, metaphorical, or symbolic. You are not fixing the problem, but making worse. It just goes to prove that television truly does make people dumber. Once again, FUCK YOU, and I hope to NEVER meet you!
*Someone that truly understands the philosophy behind "rock 'n' roll". If you honestly have no clue what I mean, pop in a Tenacious D record. They have a unique way of getting the message across, but you'll get the idea.
