Myspace, in all of it's glory(haha), is actually a great idea for new and upcoming bands. I also believe it is a great thing for local scenes to get the word out about shows that otherwise, no one would have known about. I want other's opinions on this idea, but I think that Myspace serves the underground music community well, and allows bands to be heard easier and on a better scale. Thoughts?

I think MySpace has helped out a lot of up and coming artists...if you ever hear of a band that you don't know about, you used to have to go download and sometimes you can't even find the band! But now, you can check out their myspace!!!

Exactly! It's a great way to get yourself heard by more than people who just come to your shows, etc.

yes i believe the same thin gs as well it is a good way to get recognized by many other people good way to get your music out there. you can out your latest cd or newest song an people comment an it can make your future music better. many people use the site for many reasons why not to help promote your band.
good luck with your myspace page ~Angel

I'd say it helps. If it gets there name out to the public, it can turn out to be a great thing. I do agree with what you're saying though.

indeed ... the easy way to promote your band, free and efective for bands that not have enough fund to own their website. perhaps TOS is not matters for musician that not concern about a dime for what they work for, aslong people listen to their songs and coming to their gig's.

My friend from college started a band and uses Myspace quite a bit for it. It's a good way to show band pictures, have people listen to your music, have people comment to you, and also post bulletins of upcoming concerts. You can also have friends added to this or other bands so people can surf around and see what they like. I do think it's good for those starter bands....absolutely.
