Here are some previous entries where Greg dropped some knowledge on some unsuspecting fools:
Well, im going around asking any band I come across how they got signed. Whats the story with you guys? Was it a hook up, luck or all the sex guy had with the record executives? I mean, it has to be hard for an all gay band to get signed lol. nah, seriously, howd you guys go about it all.

Greg’s response:
First off, my band has no sexual orintation to speak of and secondly, all you have to do is convince a label that you’re worth something. They need a reason to put you out. Prove, through an amazing live show or a great demo, that you’re worth their time. Speaking of demos, make sure yours sounds great. Take the time to make sure it sounds like a real recording. Also, were you asking about how gay bands get signed because you and your friends are gay and in a band looking to get signed? Just wondering.
dear greg,
first off you are all that is awesomeness! and i bet you get laid more than
gene simmons (zat faggot)! here’s my problem:
i am a drummer in 2 bands currently, one deathcore and one melodic metal. i
have been in the melodic band for 2 months and i just recently joined the
dethcore one. the deathcore band thinks it’s ok to be in 2 bands, but the
melodic band’s guitarist thinks that i will eventually quit one because of
conflicting practice time. what do you think?

Greg’s response:
Metal Mike,
Here’s the deal, you’ve got so much rock in you that you need two bands. Anytime you can find different styles of music to play I suggest you do it. Your guitar player might just be bummed that he only has one band. I constantly have a bunch of projects going on even though I’m in The Red Chord. Now to address the getting laid thing. A couple of years ago I decided I needed to focus more on the rock. To do this I needed to alleviate myself from any outside distractions, mainly the ladies. I had my penis removed and since then all I can think of is the rock. Let’s kick it!

I have a sweet ass mustache but my lady friend wants me to shave it. I dont know what to do. Break up with her or lose my mojo?
Nosebleeds and psychobabble~
Greg’s response:
Nosebleeds and psychobabble, cute, real cute. Here’s a question for you. Do you think Tom Selleck ever had a lady tell him what to do? He’s Magnum “Fuckin’” P.I., of course he didn’t. Case closed.
