[QUOTE=Badmoon]I hate how many bands in my school claim to be Jam Bands, and of course are not.[/QUOTE]

I think the guys at my school were truly a jamband. They jammed for a few minutes, the guitarist was awesome, and they even had a drum solo even though the drummer wasn't very good. The guitarist was soloing just as the teacher forced them to stop.

Bands at my college are into that skater, emo thing. No jam bands found there. The picture of American rock's future is a depressing one.

I'm trying to persuade my band to be more of a jam band, but no one else is talented enough to actually improvise out a song. My drummer gets lost when she doesn't have her freakin' drum tabs sitting in front of her for god sakes. I get angry just thinking about how crappy my band is...mostly just my drummer.

*pounds chest* :angry:

I would like to just start a band. A Jam Band would be cool, but I'm not going to get picky yet.

Yes, I added the angry face for pure emphasis.

Im actually playin with a band for the first time in a while this weekend, even though our musical differences have gotten in the way before...

I was thinkin, if the musicians on this board got the same recording program, could it be possible to send samples of certain things to eachother, overdub them, and send them on for re-recording...ex, any bassist,vocalist,guitarist,drummer sent a file to eachother, played a recording of themselves over it until they got a final result of a complete song. sounds complicated for a cause that wont result in anything special, but is that a possibility? I was think of tryin it out with my long-distance bassist over some drumbeats.

And look what i got [URL=http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1HENGCCAX715J2U404E70OOCR5]Eddie Van Halen - Eruption (Live 1994)[/URL] It really doesnt look like Eddie at all...but it sure as hell sounds like him. Its a 30MB file, so be aware.

Is that the one on SNL? If it is, then it doesn't look like him at all. Lol.

[QUOTE=JonG]Is that the one on SNL? If it is, then it doesn't look like him at all. Lol.[/QUOTE]

Its not from SNL, but the crowd chanting Eddie at the end sorttof leads me to have no choice but believe its him.

Its worth watching, nonetheless

i was in a band that played grungy, bluesy type stuff. i quit because the bassist is a complete d bag. i may have to put aside our differenced for a few shows though. my friends organizing a benefit concert for the genocide in sudan.

im also in a noise band and a pop-punky type hard rock band. the firsts name is something so long that i cant even recall it all. The Michigan Avant-Garde Jazz Trio-Quartet Experience-Project Quadrant 4 Sector Alpha. theres more but thats all i can remember. the second one is called Death Clock 3...2...1. think along the lines of electric six.

I think when I go to Europe after I graduate, I'm going to try to throw together a jam band.

Jam Band in Europe? Good luck :thumb:

Though there isn't that big of a Jam base there, at least from what I read.

Meh, you never know....

I plan to travel a lot when I graduate, so you never know what shady characters I may meet.

Like have a long-distance online band? Like a CR thread band? I wonder if anyone has ever done that before, that would be really funny. I'll do the harmonica track


There a couple of incredible jam band guitarists at my school. We are glad to have them. I wish we had enough to start a bluegrass band though. I have a friend who has a mandolin, one who plays fiddle and me, who plays bass. I need to keep an eye out for a banjo

I read in Relix that there are upcoming jam bands in France or something. I can't remember everything, but I think it said popularity is slowly growing. I could be wrong, though.

The could just be waiting for a really charismatic musician to hit. Like the Beatles of Jam bands

*that had better be worth the download time :mad:


eidt: yep. That was worth it :)

Is that the one where he is wearing the bandana? I think I have that, as well.

I saw a Yes video today, they look pretty goofy.

Yes were a bunch of weird goofy guys who thought that 10 minute songs with no real structure were cool. but they were also very good musicians.

So, who likes 2112?

Meh.

Awesome album.

So....classic rock....*cough*


George Thorogood is good.

Oh, oh, I remember I wanted to go off-topic for a second. If anyone has seen the movie O Brother Where Art Thou?, did they catch the Robert Johnson reference?

I was watching that movie for the 4905982340509320924th the other day, and I put two and two together.

Not neccesarily classic rock related, but it is community related, so here is my first gig.

Wicked.

I'm thinking about posting an album for you guys tommorow. But not just any album; an album that can possibly be considered the greatest ever made. It's actually an EP, and (IMO) contains no weak points, nor flaws.
