My passion is concert photography. Heavy metal/rock, is my "preference" on the kind of bands I like to take pictures of, but I can't be picky so I am willing to do all types of music genres. So, if there is any bands out there in the New Braunfels/San Antonio/San Marcos/Seguin area needing pictures taken at your shows, or band pictures, I would be more than happy to do it! I would "like" to get paid, but who doesn't? I will do it for free though, because I like the experience! So either way, let me know! Feel free to contact me anytime at (830)822-3651 (my cell) or (830)626-7780. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Here are examples of some of my work, and some links to my profiles!

Vocals consist of Deftones and Mudvayne with a pinch of TOOL on this album. You must be able to sing in pitch and just basically be outside the box and explore within your mind. We need somebody who can be free with their vocal chords and sing with all their heart n soul. Someone who can put a meaning and place images in peoples minds with just the vocals itself. We need serious inquiries only please.

<br>
<br>
I'm a singer/songwriter, I'll be doing a show at Luna this Thursday (yes, as in the day after tomorrow) from 9pm-12am, and since it's such a great venue, I would really, really love to have some quality video footage from the night.
<br>
<br>
As I am a full time musician just about to head out on tour, my funds are extremely limited, but I will be using these videos for my press kit, which will be mailed out to labels, A&R reps, management companies, and the powers that be over myspace, youtube etc nonstop- you name it. With your name (or, if you'd prefer, watermark) on it. We can work out a deal.
<br>
<br>
I know several singer-songerwriters in the area looking for videographers, so this would be the start of a beautiful relationship, I'm sure!

We specialize in many genres of music including (but not limited to) rock, metal, hardcore, jazz, country, blues, acoustic, etc. (Sorry, no rap or hip-hop at this time) Check out the myspace page for full equipment list and samples of high quality recordings that were tracked, mixed, and mastered at AMH Studios.
<br>
<br>
myspace.com/amhstudios]]> | <![CDATA[Several points in response to the previous posts:
<br>
1. Notice that none of the negative posters have actually studied music there.
<br>
<br>
2. Try asking the students enrolled there what they think of it, especially the ones who are developing music careers because of the great instruction!
<br>
<br>
3. The school also has a 60 day trial period, so that the student can decide if the school is a good fit for them.
<br>
<br>
4. The instruments and basic equipment offered for sale are for the convenience of beginnners who have no instrument. Beginners (and their parents) typically do not want to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to buy a high-end student or professional instrument when they first start out. Of course the more advanced students have better instruments, and receive, if they wish, assistance in finding the right instrument for them. At no time are prospective or current students pressured to purchase an instrument there.
<br>
<br>
5. They do not discuss pricing on the phone simply because it depends entirely on where the student is already at and what they are wanting to accomplish. Lesson length, number of instruments being studied, and current ability level will all factor in.
<br>
<br>
6. What have you been quoted for weekly music lessons at other places? Factor in that the student will be getting monthly group lessons in addition to weekly private lessons over a 6 month period. Divide it out and it's not really that much, especially considering the quality of the instructors.
<br>
<br>
7. Using a seperate company to handle billing is a standard operating procedure for private schools, gyms, martial arts schools and many small businesses. Also, registration fees are common among these types of businesses.
<br>
<br>
8. Bobby Flores's credentials speak for themselves, as do those of the instructors. Just check the academy's website.
<br>
<br>
9. Anyone interested in the school may receive a free presentation at the school. During this time, the school shares the opportunities that it has to offer, and the level of each potential student is assessed in order to give them the right teacher and a program that fits their individual needs.
<br>
<br>
The Bulverde Academy of Music is a live performance music academy, with many students who are well on their way to professional careers in many genres - classical, country, Broadway, rock, jazz, etc. It does not claim to be the right school for everyone. It is a serious music school, with serious instructors and serious students. Those who wish to excel in music will love it!]]> | <![CDATA[Looking for working country, red dirt, swing, texas country rock type band that needs a solid drummer. Can travel some.

If interested, let me know, thanks.]]> | <![CDATA[I went to meet with BoB Flores and while back, and while his accomplishments warrant merit. the man is one fast talker. I don't understand why he cant believe in his academy enough to allow paying customers to evaluate his services without committing to a contract. After the "tour" (a total waste of time) he stated that the lessons consisted of once a week for 30mins. a 6 month contract well over $900 and a registration fee, after I asked what the registration fee was for he said and I quote "its so my accountant can tell me how much money people owe me" WHAT???
<br>
<br>
I am a retired attorney who moved out to the Bulverde and I know a liar when I hear one . Also I played in a country band and it helped me pay for college but I don't have the patience to teach my grand children (16yo and 17yo). In response to to the quality of equipment it was half-ass at best , I have seen far better equipment in poor inner city music schools. I refuse to give this man one moment of my time or one nickel.

I have a beef with the president too, but what's the point of trying to tell him? I lump him along with every other sleazebag conman out to make a profit. Your Bobby Flores is apparently no different. Like he'd care if anyone thinks he's a scummy conman? He's arrogant enough to expect people to agree to an unecessary contract. It's fairly obvious the only thing that grasps his attention is money. You're the one trying to defend him and his so-called "academy". You don't want to call your buddy and tell him people think he's a sniveling, money-whore conman....then don't.

<br>
Bobby Flores is the emminent music professional, and his professional career spans 4 decades in the South Texas area. Let me ask you, Mr. Contractor, who do you overcharge to have the disposable income to consider a $900 music course for your kids ? And what do tube amps have to do with music instruction ? Almost all the instructors have music careers of 4 decades in the San Antonio area, and worked for international companies and name acts. If you want quality instruction, it is a good choice, otherwise, you can go to the other facilities that have "real professionals" that play the bars around town. I have worked with Bobby, and know all the instructors at the academy, so I know this is true.
<br>
<br>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds like you need to give your friend a call and tell him to quit acting like a sleazy con salesman, because it's quite OBVIOUS that's how people see him. Maybe he isn't one, but if people think you're an ass...chances are you are an ass. The consensus here seems to think he's a conman. It really does sound like he is.
<br>
<br>
I agree with the one poster regarding his website. If he is such a professional, running a "professional" school, why is he so vague about what it costs to attend the school? Why does he demand a contract? Why do they HAVE to meet with you to answer any questions? According to the website, "Monthly lessons must be paid in advance with a credit card or by automatic bank account debit. This payment will be debited from your bank account or charged to your credit card on the 1st of each month." What the hell? Is he giving music lessons the Bally's Fitness Center way? So if you find out their methods aren't for you, you're screwed because they conned you into signing a contract and have your credit card/bank info!
<br>
<br>
Is it any wonder people who decide to check out the place in person never hear any lessons being taught? Contracts might work for fat people given the promise of a thinner future, but in this case it makes no sense why anyone would be stupid enough to sign one. Especially when we're talking about MUSIC LESSONS. And let's be fair now, the instructors might be qualified but no more qualified or better than any other place offering instruction. This isn't fricking Juilliard we're talking about. It's some start up school struggling to con people into contracts so they can't just back out of when they realize it is no Juilliard.
<br>
<br>
As far as being taught by instructors "that play the bars around town".....honestly now, this is San Antonio. Where the hell else are they supposed to play? If you're telling me that none of the instructors that work for Flores' ripoff school play around town, then they must not be serious musicians or completely content hanging around an empty school with no students. Don't give me the session musicians or orchestra musician crap either. This is SAN ANTONIO remember? Our music scene sucks compared to Austin, and in Austin the BAR scene is THE scene. And the San Antonio Symphony struggles year after year, sometimes unable to pay their musicians if even employ them. These instructors are in the same pool as everyone else. No worse and no better.
<br>
<br>
There's a reason people are bad-mouthing your friend's school. Quit trying to defend it. It's making you an ass by association.]]> | <![CDATA[You guys got into it farther than I did. My own impression of BAM is limited, and by my own choice.
<br>
<br>
Anyone paying attention to the country music scene is aware of Bobby Flores' accomplishments, and I feel confident he would have a qualified teaching staff at his "academy". At one point I thought I might be interested in taking some lessons there, and I made an online inquiry, since BAM has a website, and inquiries are invited. There was a brief exchange of email, but no amount of coaxing on my part could elicit answers to my basic questions, such as "how long are typical lessons?", "how much do you charge?", "do I bring my own instrument or do you provide one?"...simple crap like that.
<br>
<br>
Instead, the offer was for me to go there and talk to Bobby Flores, and when I failed to do so, I got several more emails from his henchmen (he couldn't be bothered to deal with me further apparently) imploring me to come and talk. I'm glad now I chose to just blow the whole thing off, because I have a low tolerance for the kind of tactics being described here. Of course, it's clear why I got nowhere with them - if they'd given me the information I wanted, they'd have never heard from me again.
<br>
<br>
My position is, first, if you expect to do business with the public in ANY endeavor, you better be up-front and forthright about your dealings, or you'll fail. Second, if you have a web presence and expect to use it to further your business, you'd better be ready to respond via the website if you invite inquiries there, instead of simply using it to generate a contact list. It isn't unreasonable to expect that, and it's never been an issue for me until my BAM encounter. Savvy internet businesses welcome online requests for information about their products, and usually respond quickly with the reqested information. Not BAM.
<br>
<br>
Based on the other comments here about the "contract" and apparent financial commitment required, BAM's a non-player (pardon the pun) for me, and lack of money's not the reason. I just don't do business that way.

On top of the contract he wants signed, he wants a registration fee (he wants $70 to write your name down)that he cant explain. I visited the place with my boy and I must say that some of the instructors are top notch but the equipment the school has is second hand and low grade. and yes the instruments for sale are overpriced and inferior. also, now that I think about it I never saw or heard any students. Then I discovered "Jeff Ryder's Drum Shop" over at Perrin Beitel and what a dif. its a no bullshit kind of place, the instructors are working musicians and they are resonably priced plus theres no bullshit registration fees.]]> | <![CDATA[Dawn of Stereo is currently looking for a bass player and a 2nd guitar/vocals.

First they wont give you any info because they want you to come in and get the sales pitch from conman and Founder Bobby Flores. so bob starts showing you around a little place making all kinds of claims, when it comes down to the price of it all--- he wants you to sign a 6 month contract for about $900, this contract or "note" gets sold to a third party that will bug the shit out of you if you decide that the school is not for you. I'm a contractor and can afford this but for the price you think there would be high-end instruments and amps available but there's not(not 1 tube amp), I went in on a weekday around 6pm and did not see or hear one single student playing. Bob points out an area where he sells instruments, once again more low grade instruments. even bobs guitar is at best a good guitar for a 15yo. now to be fair bob has real credentials as a musician but the Bulverde Academy of Music is a first rate second rate dump. Has anyone been out to this place and/or taking lessons there??]]> | <![CDATA[<h2>What we're about</h2>

<br>
I found an ad for AMH Studios on here about two months ago - back then we were just thinking of recording (what band isn't on tight budget?) anyway after a show on July 4th - things kinda got kicked into high gear with a radio station requesting a song of ours they heard at the 4th of July event.
<br>
<br>
I called the studio again and told him our dilemma. He accomodated us and gave us his next available slot. Now I know that some of us fear home studios (just ask our drummer who is used to recording in Austin with asleep at the wheel)
<br>
But - this fella was first class all the way. And what he promises, he delivers.
<br>
We couldn't be happier with what the end result was!!
<br>
<br>
We sent our songs to the local station and to the XM station that requested them
<br>
and we hope to hear them soon.

hey my name is Gilbert (GROD) for short and i am 24yrs old. i am looking for a band to jump on with. i have jamed out with friends alot as a band but i have never done any shows. i am looking to join a cover/original band, because i love singing covers but i also love writing my own music.
<br>
<br>
I am not looking for some one who is still looking for other musicians. i want to jump on with a complete band not a couple of musicians. here are some reasons why i quit my last band. someone always had to get there 1 hour late, someone always needed to leave early, someone always would forget there stuff, they were acting like imature high school kids with there little girlfriend drama, AND I AM TIRED OF ALL THAT SHIT!!!!!!!! i want a band that has a set practice schedule (1-2 times a week), your own equipment, and dedicated musicians who want to practice and do what it takes.
Im sorry if i sound so damn picky but my last band went through 9 guitar players,and 3 bass players in less than 3 months and once we got a complete band it all went to HELL.
<br>
To be honest with you i dont want to waste your time and i dont want anyone to waste mine.
<br>
<br>
some of the bands i like to cover are Seether, Staind, Fuel, 7 mary Three, Foo Fighters, audioslave' local H' 3doors down, and other radio friendly stuff like that.
<br>
<br>
i think i am a pretty good singer and i have (for the most part) a pretty good vocal range, low and high. i would like to start doing some shows really soon so hit me up if you need me.
<br>
<br>
i have my own practice PA system. (1200watt 10 chan. mixer, 2 12inch speakers, 2 mics with stands). its good enough for practice and maybe some small shows.
<br>
<br>
you could check out my acoustic myspace page. i have a few rough demos on there.

if you are interested give me a call,or send me a message.

Yes, I did notice it had evolved into a speed contest, and agree with your conclusion. But, deal is, everybody gets to do what they want. Maybe the exercises of the contestants evolves into something else. I heard, at the one I judged, a lack of key center, and an emphasis on speed and technique. But thats ok. In 1989, I used my 2 minutes to play a variety of styles I arranged into exactly 1:58 minutes. I went back the second year and played, the late Jack Skiles competed, and in my eyes was the winner, hands down. But neither of us won or placed. From the contest, I got a clinician/product specialist job with Kaman corp. ( C.Bruno and sons, by Freeman colliseum), and later worked for them as quality control/order filler. Initially, guitar wars was a nationwide marketing tool. I don't know how many of the initial guitar wars are left.

I am a local musician interested in new material only. I have several tracks that formulate the beginnings of songs (rhythm guitar, bass and some percussion) but I need a lyricist/vocalist to fill the words and vocals before adding the lead guitar parts. Interested musicians/writers can check out some of these tunes at

Possibly form a band in the near future. Compensation is free dinner and plenty of laughs. Musical influences include RadioHead (pre KidA), OurLadyPeace, STP, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Hurt, Tool, Helmet, Saturate and too many more to mention. I'm really into deep, meaningful, melodic vocals and heavy riffs. I'm not extremely serious, but I am constructive.

When you step away from the computer you forget each one of them. The majority of these guys probably arent in bands. I wonder how many average music listners even really like guitar solos?
<br>
<br>
Somehow (it must have occurred in the 1980s) great guitar playing is more often associated with having the fastest sounding noisy toy. Its sad to think of that lone dude sitting in his room, practicing his lead chops over and over again. I lived this way for a while.
<br>
<br>
It seems to me like all the relevant musicians in history are remembered because they understood concepts as phrasing, melody, tone, etc.
