BRIAN SIMMONS acoustic rescue mission

About Me

Hey,this is B simmons of the TRIBE OF SOULS. i grew up listening to heavy rock n roll and everything else that slapped me on the back of my neck along the path. from the floating, funky sounds of A.M. radio that permiated the soulsponge of my young melody starved mind,to the explosion of KISS in 76. guitar saved my life growing up. definately keeping me out of any real trouble. there was always a sense of pride and spirituality that steered me away from the "rock star" mentality.. never cared for it. always got off on the brothers that had some life and love about what they were sayin! anyway im influenced by everything from jackson browne to voivod, fishbone and bob marley. the police to mazzy star. speed metal to funk,to reggae/ska.. its just music..and im proud be a part of this eternal river of sound that has washed away any doubts that some higher power is pullin my strings..give thanks.. B-si THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE PAID THE PRICE TO WALK THE CORRIDORS OF "COOL". BUT NOW THE BADGE HAS BEEN BOUGHT AND SOLD,AND HANDED OUT TO ANY FOOL; WHO GOES TO THE MALL AND HANGS IT ON THE WALL AND WEARS IT LIKE A STOLEN CROWN. ARE YOU WORTHY OF THE WORDS OF THE FUNKY?? OR DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO GET DOWN?? DOWNLOAD IT!..THEY SOLD IT!..SOME GUY IN A SUIT AND TIE. WHO PRE-FADES YOUR CONCERT SHIRTS, AND PUTS MANUFACTURED HOLES IN YOUR LEVI'S. DOWNLOAD IT! THEY OWN IT!. SOME GUY IN A SUIT AND TIE. WHO'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THE "ALTERNATIVE"...WHAT!!?? WHEN THERES NOTHING LEFT...THEY HAVENT PIMPED OUT....NODS TO THE OLD-SCHOOL BROS.. i AM CURRENTLY SEEKING A PIANO/KEYBOARD PLAYER TO START WRITING WITH. AND WISH TO START PLAYING SHOWS AGAIN ACOUSTICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY!....respect...b.SIMMONS I got my look at
