You can start with the mentality and general rules of particular groups. I want to know the mentality of JDL and crew (just joking, lol). Looking forward to the thread.

Start with code 12 please. I keep hearing that term on CV, and I know what it could mean, but I don't fully understand what it's about.

I want to know how musicians used to lives during the tours that were lasting 6, 7, 8, 9 months and how much money they receive when a donors wants to get a song on a group album or if all the money go to the leader himself (I had that impression on the musicians of Quartier Latin).
