Eric Carmen Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I couldn't stand the old one anymore. let me know if it sucks or if I've left anything important out. Thanks, ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Now if Bernie could throw up a few more songs I could get some of the folks over there off my back. I'm gettin a LOT of requests for "Hungry Eyes" and "Make Me Lose Control." I'd also love to get the Raspberries film sampler for the new album over there as well some more pictures ( only the ones where I don't look like a dork, please. We can skip the Cyrus Erie shots). Maybe the Geffen cover shot and a couple of cool Raspberries photos. You know, Bernie, in all your free time! ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kiwi Connection Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The Myspace Bio looks great Eric. All you left out was the date of the Severance Hall Concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves fan Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Eric, it DOESN'T suck....It's really, really good!! I like the fact that you took the time to sit and write that. Very cool!!I have a question, if you don't mind,......What songs did Axel Rose and Motley Crue cover? When I read that I was stunned!!Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesjc Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I think you did a very nice job with your new bio! Your current top friends are an interesting group, too - there's ol' Clive among them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Eric, a small omission (possibly?) with no mention of Winter Dreams/ I Was Born To Love You. Liked the style of your writing; reading it, I felt like I was sitting in an easy chair listening to your story. You didn't ask for a proof-reader, but you have a 'new' where 'knew' should be. Don't know how much perfection you were going for Nice re-do! Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Motley Cure did "Tonight" ( sort of) and Axl did...are you ready......"Everything" from my first solo album. I think Bernie has a copy of that one recorded "LIve in Aurstralia!" ecps. thanks for the proofreading, Kirk. Now i've got to go fix it. ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braves fan Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks for your reply Eric. I was a big hair band fan in the day....I never knew you "crossed over"!!!Keep up the good work!Ronda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Did you lose your background on purpose ? I liked the new bio, you could add your DVD Video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspyrock Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The bio is very well done. Looks good from here. Many of us have varied music interests, but I must say yours is pretty expansive. I believe this contributes well/greatly to your immense songwriting prowess. Glad to see you like Carole King & Don Henley ( even though I like the hard rockin' stuff too ). I think tastes expand and change over our lives as with society in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinberries Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 OUCH!!! can't you stipulate "off-limits to bad 80's hair bands" in the copyrights??? & awful, awful Axl... too funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm thinking 'was' is correct here since 'Raspberries' is a pro-noun???More especially, I've always found that if you take out what's between the commas --- and see how it flows then we have: "my old band was approached" ------ likely many ways to handle this!!

Paulie Mississippi Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Eric, a man of your immense talents should not have to be bothered with proofreading... you just let your fingers work as fast as they can or will and I'm sure Kath or someone will make any grammatical changes needed...

Eric Carmen Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Sometimes what SOUNDS right isn't. Sometimes what IS right sounds awkward. When I hit a little speed bump like this, I find it's usually best to simply change the sentence altogether. Awkwardly right doesn't work for my musical ear. The reason I love F. Scott so much is his prose is so musical. In any case, I fixed the problem. ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 By the way, I edited the bio and put paragraphs in, but they don't show up for some reason. Bernie will probably be able to troubleshoot it. ec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 At the risk of having my knuckles rapped by Kathy, I usually write in a 'conversational' stlye in my posts. I 'talk' on the internet more than I talk on the phone these days. Unless you're putting together the next "Marathon Man", converstional English works for posts, blogs, etc. O.k. Kathy, I'll go sit in the corner, now Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
