What advice would you give to TH as a group (on anything)? What would you give advice to each member (on anything)?

This is difficult on a few levels... mostly because it's hard to put oneself in the mindset of giving advice to people you don't know.

I thought about this for a few days, tossed it around a bit.

Overall:

== Do what you need to do for yourselves, to stay sane and still be what you want to be and who you want to be. Whatever that ends up being.

== Be consistent in the public personas you build... yes, they're false fronts to keep some aspects of yourself private and they don't have to be true to life, but keep them consistent or people will notice and tear you apart for it.
I'm looking at you Bill, with your business about leather jackets... and the laughable "We don't drink/do drugs" statement from years ago.

--------

== Tom: Work on your skills. Right now you're a decent rhythm guitarist, you can keep a riff going, but you're in no way what a lead guitarist should be. The little "mini-solos" are a good start -- now get into intensive lessons and be the best you can. You're in an enviable position right now, make the best of it. The Virgo perfectionism should be kicking your arse in right about now.

== Georg: Hold on to your integrity. You're the anchor of the band and anyone with half an eye for these things knows it. You're what holds down their sound; don't let the K's frivolity spin the band off into nothing. This is your one chance -- work it.

== Gustav: Much the same as Georg. You two are the cohesive base for the music; you're the ones with real, tactile skills and the highest talent levels. You'd go on if TH fell apart; any band would be lucky to get a solid rock drummer like you on board. Keep an eye on your own interests, keep improving, and don't be afraid to push for music that lets you show off a little.

== Bill: .......*shakes head* There isn't much I can tell you, because you don't listen to anyone but your brother. I get it, you're a Virgo. I know how you guys work. You get so bound up in your own worlds you forget there's anyone else's point of view out there; or if there is one, it's clearly wrong.
Just come up for air once in awhile and look at the world around you and how you're isolating yourself -- it's not healthy for anyone.
Get back into voice training now, both so you don't have a recurrence and so you can keep improving. Looks are only going to carry you so far; yes, right now they're taking you right to the bank, but you need to consider your long-term options. You have the potential, I can hear it.

...That was a lot for not much to say, wasn't it.

Have at it.
