Do you see them on a regular basis? You know everyone.
I haven't talked to them in about a month, but yeah, I still talk to a few of them. I talk to Lupus and Jared more than anyone... they're pretty down to earth guys. Everyone else is always busy....
I didn't wanna sound full of myself when I posted this thread, but just wanted everyone to know since I get a lot of messages from it.
As far as Bam and his crew, I do talk to a few of them, but I refuse to do any videos with them.
Why? because anyone who works with Bam (outside of Jackass and cKy the band), will be seen by fans as "Bam's side project". For example... LeatherFace and Executioner (from Off The Hook TV)... They were on Viva La Bam and it's been 2 years since the show. If a fan comes up to LeatherFace, do you think that fan will want an autograph because LeatherFace is in Off The Hook TV? Will the fan care about Off The Hook TV? Well, by what I've seen, 90% of the time the answer is NO... So if you work with Bam, then Bam created you... THAT is what fans will always think.
I know LeatherFace wants Off The Hook TV to take off, but it's going to take a while for him to establish a seperate charactor identity.
I enjoy being a solo artist, although collaberation with other upcoming groups is the key to success for everyone.
EDIT:
One more thing.... about getting a TV show....
I don't want to be on any shows until I'm 27 (2 years), because being on a TV show takes away your freedom of creativity and right now, I'd rather have the freedom to do what I want, when I want and not have to worry about making any ratings (which keeps TV shows on the air).
Life is fun... keeping it that way sounds like a good plan to me
