[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]Im in a Classic Rock/Metal band.
We play Maiden, Metallica, G'n'r and also more modern stuff like DT and Alter Bridge. Our guitarist also sings, i honestly dont know how he can be so good. Hes been playing 13 years and can honestly do anything.[/QUOTE]

Wanna swap guitarists? :naughty:

Btw, im a drummer in the band i mentioned above.
But i play guitar in a small punk band. We rock!

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]Do you play an instrument? I'd always be willing to replace one of my lazy band members... :lol:[/QUOTE]
Yea, I play bass, and I mainly like to play blues rock type thingies. You know heavy on the pentatonic scales :p

I used to play bass in a crappy local punk band when I was 14. I wanted to sing too (cause the lead singer of that band sucked ***), but they wouldn't let me.

Yep, pentatonic scales are pretty much the key to blues improv, just throw in some bends and shi[SIZE=2]t[/SIZE] and you can impress the musical retards.

Well what you should've done was:
Stolen 15 biological weapons from a military base. Set up a base on Alcatraz using a crack team of US troops. Demand that they let you sing or else you reign bilogical terror on San Fransisco. It never Fails :)

I dunno the writers of The Rock might sue.

That would probably work but isn't it a little too much work to be able to sing in a ****ty band?

Heh, it wouldn't have mattered much anyway. They were all dicks. In fact they started to want to get rid of me after I complained about them forcing me to strum the e-string like a retard. It was one of those Sid Vicious kinda deals. I found out I was kicked out of the band by reading an ad in the paper, kinda harsh since despite them being dicks they were my old friends.

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]I dunno the writers of The Rock might sue.[/QUOTE]

The great thing about having 15 biological weapons at your command is that not many people challenege to about anything. If they do, threaten to reign biological terror on them.
It's a tried and tested method :)

But what about Connery?

My good bass is at my dad's and I haven't been there in like a week and a helf, so I haven't been doing much jamming lately :(

Bummer man. I hate when I leave my guitar at my dad's and can't play for a few days.

What kind of bass do you play?

I have a question as I keep forgetting...

...Is the amount of rep you give your repx.02, or your postcountx.02 :confused:

Hello!

I play guitar and I've been trying to start a band. We have a singer/guitarist, guitarist, and bassist. We found an awesome drummer, but unfortunately, he has a crush on me and is without a drumset. I'm the only one in the "band" that really knows anything about playing (all the others learned everything they know on guitar from me). The worst part is that I'm not very good yet...I've been playing about thirteen months or so.

At first, they all wanted to make emo-type of music because that's pretty popular around here, so I realized I had to do something before I had to kill myself. And I am proud to say that I successfully turned on three people to classic rock/blues rock/hard rock.:)

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]What kind of bass do you play?[/QUOTE]
My first bass was a Hamer, which is now de-fretted, but it's still pretty shi[SIZE=2]t[/SIZE]ty. And my good bass is a Jay Turser Viola bass. They're not a very well known company, but they have very good quality for the price. I personally love it because it's very easy to play, sounds beautiful, and is light-weight.

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]Just out of curiosity, how many of you are actually in bands/are musicians?[/QUOTE]

I am also in a band, called Obscurity, like my username as well. We are somewhere in the area of haevy prog rock (?) I would guess. We play only originals and have 20 songs as of now. There is not a huge scene for original music in my area, but the shows are awesome when they happen. :cool:

Ah man, that's the worst (both the fact that he has a crush on you and that he is without a drumset). I remember when I was in this sort of weird alternative band, and the lead singer brought in a female guitarist (just cause he had a crush on her, not for her playing which wasn't that great). It was so weird to be in that kind of environment, and then she asked the lead singer if her friend (also a girl) could be in the band. I got kicked out and replaced by a female bassist...she couldn't write anything if you put a gun to her head either. :upset:

I know how that is. The scene in my area is mostly Nickelback rock, pop-punk, or indie rock. I'm sure if we didn't throw in a few covers we'd never get gigs.

I'm in an Alternativ Funk band called "The Fat Deposits". Were a lot like Primus, just a bit more heavy and varied.

And I'm also in a Death/Thrash band called "VeedBok".

I play drums for both

[QUOTE=-Obscurity-]rep.[/QUOTE]

K thanx dude :thumb:

I'm not in a band right now, but I am a musician.

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]I know how that is. The scene in my area is mostly Nickelback rock, pop-punk, or indie rock. I'm sure if we didn't throw in a few covers we'd never get gigs.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it's tough, that Nickelback rock has infected everything. I used to be in a cover band, we had about 50+ songs and constant gigs. I just got tired of it after a while. I love playing originals, though.

I have an Ibanez sr500 (bass) and a used Epiphone Special II (guitar).

/random

We haven't come up with a name for our band yet. I'm the only one who's even thought about writing songs yet, but that's alright. I would like to get some experience playing on stage at a local hangout or something, but I'd have to go with another band (because I don't think this band is going to be ready to perform anything for quite a while). Our first song to play together will probably be Runnin' Down a Dream-Tom Petty or Highway To Hell.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I'm not in a band right now, but I am a musician.[/QUOTE]

Heh, I wish it was as easy to find musicians in my area as it is to find people here. For about 3 months my band searched for a decent rhythm guitarist who was into the music we were playing and couldn't find anybody.

im in a band with Animosity_62 called VeedBok
i play guitar

I have a band but we can't play live since I do guitar and bass and vocals. The only other member is my friend who plays drums.

[QUOTE=xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]I'm the only one who's even thought about writing songs yet, but that's alright.[/QUOTE]

Oh man, I totally know where you're coming from. It's always an uphill battle trying to get the guys in my band to write anything. I have to organize everything, I have to write more then 2/3 of everything, I have to constantly kick their asses and motivate them, and I'm the only one that ever has any ideas or visions of how things should sound/go. I also write all the lyrics, and set up most of the gigs. It's tough being the only one who's passionate about the music.

I have to write everything too, even drum parts sometimes, I actually prefer it.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I have to write everything too, even drum parts sometimes, I actually prefer it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but you gotta admit it gets too much sometimes.

[QUOTE=Cipher Hour]Heh, I wish it was as easy to find musicians in my area as it is to find people here. For about 3 months my band searched for a decent rhythm guitarist who was into the music we were playing and couldn't find anybody.[/QUOTE]

For me, a good singer always was the hardest to find.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I have to write everything too, even drum parts sometimes, I actually prefer it.[/QUOTE]

In my Funk band, the only thing we right is Lyrics, as right now it's just me and a bass player.

Pretty much all of our work is made by us improvising, and when we come up with somethin good we use it

It's really tough to find other musicians around here, seeing as this town is tiny. My entire high school has about 250 students. I also suspect that our bassist is a poser (she was talking about Dimebag's death and she kept calling him Diamondbag, now I don't know much about him, but I'm pretty sure he was either called Dimebag Darrell or Diamond Darrell, plus there have been other times when she makes me wonder).

I leave this thread for an hour and it grows 3 pages..
