Not so much!. It is more something you do for the love of music!.!.!. just kidding, it's something you do to get chicks!. And how could you put a dollar value on that!? If you luck out and get into a great band with other great singers/musicians, then sure you might make money!. But I've seen bands that are better than 90% of the crap on the radio, but they never got past playing in small bars, so don't get into it for the money!. You'd be better off making a boy band like Jonas Brothers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It isn't likely to thrive on it alone but it can bring a little bit into your pocket!. There are of course those great and powerful bands that make millions but in all honesty even with great skill and creativity it is hard to be a true " rockstar!." However if you have a passion for playing music do not give up, just make it a weekend thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
