My New Band

[rankz]

Yay, I just formed a band with a few mates. I am rythm guitar and my friend is Lead, we have a Drummer, and A BAssisit (but he isnt very good). We are looking for a singer now. BUt we have had a couple of practices and one coming up this weekend. We play Razorlight- Golden Touch and a song we wrote. We are hopefully going to be working on some new stuff soon.

Peace out

[pr0o boarder]

Awsome dude. Maybe when you start recording you can post some of your music on here.

[evilcheese00]

I'm just getting my new band up and going, comedy death metal.

[Bulletbeast]

haha.. comedy death metal? thats awesome
you should check out Macarbe, they are quite the comedy death metal.

[360degrees]

comedy country music....lol

[HailToTheThief]

or you could just make country metal, which is comedic all by itself

[R-dude]

isnt macabre that band that sings about serial killers...a freaky guy on my school loves em

[Bulletbeast]

yeah, they sing about all kinda of stuff.. but mostly killing and stuff. I read they were called "Comedy Murder Metal" somewhere...

[evilcheese00]

Stragley enough we were/are concidering the whole country lymeric angle with the kind of riffs that make you want to whack off with griptape.

[Bulletbeast]

hahahahah

[ROCKon]

Ow, thats just wrong!

I might be drumming for a band soon, just gonna experiment with different styles. Wanna do death metal really, though.

[Snaker]

I'm in a 80's Hardcore/Street Punk band called Subvert Citizens (we got our name from a Subhumans song). We have some very rough mp3's at our Myspace (in my signature).

[R-dude]

i want to be in a band pretty badly...i have a friend who use to play drums. dunno anyone who plays bass or enjoys singing....so...uhm...

[robiskewl]

i'm apparently starting a band on monday with some friends, so we'll find out how that goes on monday.

[Griptape Flip]

Sweet, me and a couple friends were thinking of doin the same..Good luck Rankie! XD

[Rastabilly]

Bands are are always fun. I play both drums (4 years) and electric (1 year) and Ive been in two bands. One was a street punk band, one a ska band and both of them went pretty far. We played at school talent shows and local shows. My advice is if your in a band always keep a cool head because bands can make you hate your friends.

If Im not feeling to lazy I'll upload some tracks link them up later.

[snakeyes17]

Man I really want to start playing something. I'm thinking Bass or just guitar

[Flipstreetskate]

yea instruments are cool especially on those unskateable days. a few friends of mine and I started up our own band, Dont Drop The Soap. Our first practice is tomorrow. yessssssssss

Bass is cool. If your not sure between electric and bass take electric guitar lessons and you'll pick up how to play bass to. Thats what I did. Bass is key there always a ***** to find.

[evilcheese00]

Yeah i learn electric then had a session on a freinds bass, picked up the basics in about 5mins. I love playing either, 'Dont Drop The Soap' Haha I'll look out for you guys in the future.

[Snaker]

My band is doing pretty decent. We're playing with a coule decently popular west coast bands, the Secretions and the **** You Ups next month, and in April, we're probably gonna play with Action and Defiance.

[Rastabilly]

Snaker how is competition is Ca? Id amigion there would be a lot of bands to play show with. It always seems like I play shows with the same bands over and over. It gets pretty lame.

[Snaker]

Well, there are a lot, just not a lot of good ones. You have two or three good bands for any given genre, i.e. street punk, and then you have a lot of shitty ones. If you get yourself known as one of the good ones, though, whenever a big band rolls through, you get to play with them. For instance, our guitarist's old band played with the Havoc when they came through, just as we might play with Action and Defiance. If a band is good here, they usually succede, like for instance Career Soldiers, Pipedown, Thought Riot, etc.

P.S: We play with a lot of the same bands, too. You pick of friends as bands is all.

haha yea we had our first "practice" yesterday. we mainly just screwed around but its all good. ive got my work cut out for me tho, bein lead singer and lead guitar because our other guitarist just started playing.

[Rastabilly]

Yeah playing lead and being lead singer is hard. I tried it once and and Id always hit one and be off on the other. Playing lead guitar and being back up vocals is wheres its at. Or being the drummer.

[Snaker]

My band finally got some actually good MP3's recorded. They're at the link in my signature, if anyone cares to listen to 'em.

I gave your band a listen earlier. I only got to download one song because Im stuck with 56k for two days till comcast gets there ass over here to fix our cable. Anyway I liked the track that I heard (4 more years of hell). I noticed the whole black flag sound and I thought the guitar was catchy. The only suggestion I have is I think the guitar was a little to loud. Tweak it down a little notch so the voice is more clear. It could have just been the recording i dunno. But besides that nice band. When I get my cable connection back I'll check out the rest of your clicks.

[Snaker]

Thanks. Black Flag is a large influence; L.A. hardcore and D.C. hardcore in general is. If you listened to it more than about three days ago, it was recorded with a camera. I finally got our studio recordings back, so that's whats there now. Thatks for the feedback.

[Rastabilly]

No problem man. Keep pushing your band has talent. I sure wish my band didn't break up but thats a whole nother story in itself. Being in a band is an awesome experience.

[Snaker]

That it is, that it is.

[thechemicalguru]

im sure there loads of guitarist in this forum i just sarted to play guitar but im teachin myself so if u have any tips, no of any good books to learn from etc i would be grateful thnks

[Skates with DCs]

i'm in a band, we're current;y recording a few of our songs...i think we suck but for a band that plays after school in a classroom i thin we're pretty good [im the drummer].

[ROCKon]

I'm sure I've posted it on here before, and IT'S NOT SPAM, but this is my friend's band's website.

[falloffboy101]

God what a nob, playing an instruement which isn't needed in the band, he can do what he wants, your the one being a fag.

[rankz]

We are getting another recording tomorrow hopefully. I'll update you tomorrow night

[360degrees]

looking forward to it...and fallofboy isnt a fag at all..his so called frend IS a nobhed

[rankz]

Its on there, but one track doesn't want to seem to work, grr. We also got a gig in July, only performing from my patio to about 20 people at a BBQ but its a start and it'll be great fun. Also me and the other guitarist are having a blues jam at a villiage pub in August, thanks to his guitar teacher :)

[Blind Sheppard]

looking forward to it...and fallofboy isnt a fag at all..his so called frend IS a nobhed
So because his mate decides he wants to play an instruement that the band doesn't need means he's a nob head, no it means he wants to try something because i can say for definete the band will not last long and he wants to try something new.

A gay kid named Chris. His hair is bleahed on the sides and black on top. **** him.

[Blind Sheppard]

Sounds like a right stud

[HELLonWHEELS]

I want to start a band as well i have like 4 friends who play guitar and none that play drums( i play bass). I know a couple of people who would sing. I have jammed with one of my friends and we wrote a dedent song considering that we had no drummer or vocals. Anywho...... im trying to convince one of my friends to play drummer which would be awsome because then i could have band where everybody live within a mile of each other.

[shift_Decks]

i have a band in a few days i can post some stuff. we covered an aphex twin song Flim
also a ratatat song like cherry something
we are called sparkplug. we have a song called white sunshine which leads into a metal song.. whitesunshine is happy and then its all bad lol
