I am assuming it doesn't pay much and I can't imagine there is much flexibility in songs unless I guess you are an original band, do they have those? Sort of like a cover band, but with a thinner choice. Nor me, but the title kinda implies it ! Personally I loathe all religion...purely IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan either although generally fairly not bothered if it doesn't affect others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There is some seriously good gospel/worship music out there. It must be a real blast to play, but I wouldn't be able to do it. It would feel hypocritical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbd1960 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I had a serious orchestral concert gig a few years ago which included a gospel choir for backing vocals - it wasn't religious music though. They were very good. I also did a vocal training workshop which featured gospel singers as part of the day. The day would have been better in my view without the additon of the gospel singing. When I was younger I was involved with the church quite a lot, but I never liked the worship band type of music - I really dislike it. I know a few people who are involved with that though and they quite obviously enjoy it, but it's not for me. I have had issues with some extremely arrogant church band groups when I've been involved with music workshops and they come in towards the end to set up for their rehearsal whilst we're finishing our workshop. Rude would be an understatement. They quite evidently held in utter contempt the music that we were trying to perform and did nothing but bang and clatter whilst we were finishing off (we were within the time we'd booked and paid for). I have no involvement with church now, I'm an atheist and I really have no time for religion. I'm not going to stop people following their religion if they so wish provided that they don't start telling me what I may or may not do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If they played music like this in church lots more people would go... ....probably to he'll but still more people in the congregation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 It was a light hearted comment that started the thread but some serious points have come out. Not least that religious organisations are not covered by the same laws and rules that the rest of us do. I won't go on but so many of the bad things that go on in the world start with religion and I could not be the hypocrite to play in a worship band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Ironically the religion responsible less evil in the world than any major religion is satanism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would have no qualms accepting a gig if was playing with gospel singers who could belt it out like Aretha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 It's too simplistic to blame bad things on religion. Essentially all bad things are down to humans and their ideologies. Can't remember who said it but a philosopher said people don't have ideas, ideas have people. Religions were just early ideologies. Nowadays it's capitalism, consumerism, individualism, communism etc. The common denominator is people with ideas. Better to blame them than Jesus or Allah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 [Mod's hat on] One option would be to allow this topic to run; there is debate even in the Upper Echelons as to why Religion should be exempt from mockery where other subjects are fair game. Still, The Rules is The Rules, for now, and it looks as if this topic has had its best replies; any more risk stepping into Forbidden Territory. Goodnight, all, then; thanks for the positive contributions. Topic locked. [/Mod's hat on] 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
