During the AI8 tour in 2009, I talked with Michael Sarver on the rope line before and after several concerts and he indicated he had written over 300 songs at that time. Since that time he must be writing one a day to be up to 1,000.

Would Monte and gang be there if he is recording in LA? Does his record label pay for all this and then recovers the money later? Q3 probably knows, but I will hazard a guess here and say that there would be studio musicians if he was recording rather than his touring band members ? :  (I could be totally wrong)  Pretty sure you're right. The producer of each track will likely hire studio musicians they're familiar with. I can't see the band members involved unless it's on a track that they all wrote together, and even then maybe not. |

Good question. Some songwriters are incredibly prolific, some less so. I guess it depends how long it took him to wrote those 1,000 songs. But considering that he is still in his 20's, that seems like a lot of songs to me. Just as one point of comparison, according to Wikipedia, between 1962 and 1969, John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote 180 songs. And most of them were pretty damn good. So, it does make me wonder whether Sarver is sacrificing quality for quantity. I think you are right, he must practically be writing one every day! ??? Good Grief!! 1000 songs and the guy is only 30 or so?!! Sounds ridiculous to me.....I could say I wrote 1000 poems/short stories/whatever - doesn't mean they're not total crap. (If I was him I wouldn't be advertising that fact) |
