That sounds awesome. *wishes I lived in Lansing*

I'm a lead guitarist/lead vocalist from West Branch. There aren't any musicians around here, pretty much.
Looking for anything... and by that I mean anything. To be picky, I'd like a progressive/power/thrash metal band. I write my own stuff, play all my solos, and although I prefer singing I can do 6 different kinds of screams including those insane inward ones. :cool:

[Johnboat]

I live in Holland

[DashRantic]

I'm a bassist in Three Rivers, south of Kalamazoo (I'm willing to drive a ways if need be, however). Looking for pretty much any type of band, rock/metal would be nice though.

Ya can contact me at jackattack1@gmail.com

[Great Shaadow]

Guitarist/Vocalist/Composer in the Battle Creek area looking for an accomplished Bass player and Keyboard player. I am 23 and have played 12 years and been a guitar teacher.I have another guitarist and kind a drummer and I've already written a full album.We need a complete line up to record the demo and start playing shows. This is for serious dark, sophisticated personalities only! No crap music need apply. We do not nor are we trying to sound like any other band, that is a stupid waste of time. I compose dark metal music with a variety of influences ranging from Metallica and Megadeth, to Dissection, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Deicide etc. It's sort of a black metal/death metal/epic sound with melodic moments. Anyway if interested, reply by email/aim at greatshaadow@aol.com or dimmu_soldier@msn.com
Regards, Lord Radcliffe

[drivex3]

Me, I am a West Michgan Guitarist, Muskegon to be specific.

It never eludes me, the thought that other area talent is so hard to find.
I have been trying to no avail to get a band together, or into an established band where the people don't want to make changes.

anyway. as of 9-19-05 I am still on the market.
...hoping.

[Peg Dizzler]

Great Shadow, that sounds awesome. Wish I was closer! I'm mostly into prog-power stuff, but I love black and death metal too. And thrash. Anything epic is good too. I live like 3 hours away though.
