Your album sells out of the Wal-Mart record section in less than 2 days!

Your album makes Platinum before they finish tallying up the Gold catagory.

Your band starts to drink Wild Turkey instead of Budweiser.

Your band has a very well-known band as a side-attraction on tours.

Your side projects go Gold with no problem at all!

Hotels go from being Motel 6,or Economy Lodge to The Mariott.

Groupies become much younger, more attractive, and less resistable.

Your biography is written,and it lands on Top 10 List--and talks of a movie deal commence!

Your band dines on $200 a plate steak dinners, lobster, caviar, and filet mignon instead of fare in $5.00 a plate all-you-can-eat diners.

You land a prime position on Donna's ho' boards penis ranking chart.

You fly on your own Lear jet instead of 3rd class commercial.

Your tours take you to 40 major cities in 20 different countries instead of a dozen dives in your own country.

You are asked by VH-1 to do your bands life story on Behind the Music.

Your videos are on MTV during primetime.

Cartons of you do guest shots on Simpsons, King of the Hill, and South Park.

You are asked to MC the Grammy's.

You wear $5,000 designer suits, instead of off the rack K-Mart.

You get your own MTV Reality show a la Osbournes!

Your Lead Singer is asked to pose nude for Playgirl magazine.

Everyone in your band has been divorced at least twice.

The gross salary of your band is 7 figures.

You have to have unlisted everything.

Your website expands, expands, expands.......

Your third wife is a porn star!

You began to snub your pre-stardom friends with no guilt.

Finally, you get your picture on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine!


I made all this up and will add as I think of others----YOU add some, too!

oh my God

there are a few which are really easy to make and some which impossible.
i mean being divorced 2 times is no problem at all....but on the cover of rolling stone magazin could be harder

they are really funny

i always thought u are a rockstar when u wake up with a headache and u dont know for a hour in which city u are...
or when you're on the blacklist of some 5star hotels...
or when u even dont know the names of the girls from last night

however
if freedom means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they dont want to hear

On the Ho' ranking chart, Donna gave that Cradle of Filth guy VERY high marks!;)
From what I hear, his nickname should be "MULE"! =P =P =P =P =P =P =P =P

Yeah, mmmmmmmmmmm-what IS his name? :evilgrin:

Your die-hard fans, that is the fans who are under the mistaken impression it was ever about something more than the music, turn on you instantly the minute they realise you're in fact not a god, but a mere mortal.

I made this topic up several months ago, and it is a humorous topic--at least MY post is.....then, some smartass flamers got on it, derailed it, and essentially ruined this basicly good topic.
Since it has been buried for 6 months maybe fresh people could put in some potentially funny stuff.
Just try to overlook the smartass posts, and concentrate on the humorous ones, if you can.

BEG...here´s mine:
You have made it as a musician when people are sick for you, think they owe you and try to control your forum...

(i would say when you have your own forum fan...but i´ve seen a lot of crap bands that have them too! :D)
By the grace of God Almighty,
And the pressures of the marketplace
The human race have civilized itself...
...it´s a miracle.

You are sooooooooooo popular that instead of your Mom, Aunt, and old-maid sister answering your fan mail a couple days a week, you have to hire at least 2 dozen people on a full-time basis!

If you are a female Star thousands of lonely teen-age boys send you flowers, cheap jewelry, offer you undying love, and want to marry you.
