leschirons Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Just seen this advert. I mean, you can sort of prove your a female bassist, or guy between 18 and 30 and I guess sometimes, you really do have to be committed to the performance 100% but how would they know if you're partial to the odd bacon buttie? Vegan Vocalist Wanted For Cultural Campaign Song and Fashion Music Video Hi there, I'm looking for a Vocalist who's a Vegan for a Vegan Song Recording and Fashion Music Video. I'm more into a cool character of a Vocal than a big Diva Voice, so If you're a vocalist who fits the bill etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'm okay with this. A bit like a religious band wanting you to be religious. It's niche but I suspect they know that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A committed vegan who can sing, is maybe different from a great singer, who happens to be vegan. I'm not making fun of this. I really am intrigued by it all.

Newfoundfreedom Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 A band near me had a similar add a couple of years ago, but for a vegan bass player. The self styled vegan activist front man was a proper bell end. He actually fired his supposedly good friend, and talented guitarist from the band for refusing to become vegan. Last I heard he was still looking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Throw in the ability to play finger cymbals and it could well be a Bristol band....🙄 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dankology Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Aside from the potential rights and wrongs of the recruitment criteria (and the seemingly random use of capital letters), that sounds like a band I'd really enjoy not being a member of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Does that mean that emerging blinking into the light of day and tottering into the nearest McDonalds is no longer part of the recording studio rite of passage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) I get it. If you were a non vegan trying to fake it you'd damage their whole credibility. It would be like Maggie Thatcher singing any Bruce Springsteen song like "the working life", or the Strawbs "part of the Union".

I don't agree with you, this is exactly what is called sectarianism and it's very dangerous as these people are true fanatics able to burn down houses and kill people because of their belief. Middle Ages are supposed to have gone away a long time ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely its like acting, you dont need to be the character to play the character. In acting, there is a difference between the character and the message. An actor doesn't necessarily need to share the views of the character they are playing, but the film-maker might want them to be in tune with the aim of the film. For example a film which is say anti-Thatcher may need an actor to play Maggie, but the director may (or may not of course) actually want someone to play her who actually believes Maggie is a baddie.
