    Good question.


    I get why this is a saying, everyone likes/appreciates music to some degree.


    Until you can ask someone where a bathroom is by playing a violin while speaking no words, it isn't a language.

      I'd lean towards instruments because I love music but really my answer comes down to whichever one gets me laid more.

            Off Topic 2014

            Finally catching up on stuff I'm overdue on. Knocked some out last week, did another thing this morning. Feels good to have that stress off my mind.

            I still can't explain why I let things go until they become big problems. When I do them, I realize just how simple they were. I'm lighter in the wallet in a time where I really can't be, but I'll eat PB&J for a week if that means I can sleep at night.

            Getting turned down for something down the road because I was too stupid to make a payment is a mistake I don't wanna pay for and hopefully won't.

                Technical question: does the instrument talent come with the ability to sing?

                Actually it doesn't matter. With instrumental mastery, the very least you will be is a superstar rap producer/beat maker. The ceiling is pulling a Dave Grohl and playing 4 different instruments in four different bands, and be better than Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar, Flea on bass, Neal Peart on Drums, and Mozart on keyboard/piano.

                Instruments every day.

                    Just because you master instruments, it won't make you a good song writer...nor will it make you a big time money making artist. I'm not sure why everybody thinks being great at an instrument willl make you so much money. Most of the people that are in bands that are popular really kinda suck (especially guitarists) compared to a lot of people I've seen or know.

                    You'd be a great studio musician though.

                      Eh both can probably make you money. I don't foresee myself ever leaving the US(maybe a trip to England/France if I ever have a wife/GF into that thing) so the instrument thing would be more of free time or recreating the movie School of Rock.

                            While true, you still have no guarantee that your pop band will actually become a hit just because you rule all instruments.

                              The amount of money these "producers" pay for real musicians to come in and play over tracks is absurd.

                                In music, just look good and know how to dance some what = instant millionaire. They have technology that can engineer the instruments and singing part. I know I saw a lot of popular groups who can't sing or play instruments but became millionaires in the music industry just because they look good. On the flip side, I saw a hell of a lot of people in the subways of NYC and Chicago that can sing their *** off and play an instrument very well, they just aren't attractive looking.
