I recently became part of a band with Snakeyes and Nickthebassist. We are a rock band and i play guitar. I was wondering if anyone else here is in a band. If so, what type of music does your band play and what instrument do you yourself play

Darth Revan
I play guitar. My two friends and I have been wanting to start a band, but we all play guitar, so... erm We play together a lot but we're not a "band" per se.

Deathblow
Kind of. Me and three of my friends get together and slaughter a bunch of great songs in various garages like two or three times a week, sometimes we even make a little money out of it.

I play acoustic guitar and make the posters cool

Silver Stardust
Nope...

My friends and I have wanted to start a band but it's never happened. Eheheheh...

Being in a band is a lot of hassle, too many egos,so i just bought a four track and write and record and play everything myself.

loserib

I guess me and my bro could start a band up now. Me on guitar/vocals and him on the drums. We'd be called Lizard.

rockchickgem

Lady Ellie
I also would really WANT to be in a band. I can only play the piano. I want to start a band with my sister, she plays drums.

I did vocals in a few bands, they were basically all just different groups of friend we did all types of music, always exploring different types of rock, nothing serios, we did a few local concerts but nothing big. I'd love to get serios in a band but it's very time consuming and life's bussy at the moment. There's no bigger rush than letting loose on stage in front of a few hundred people!

loserib
he is right its very time consuming its taken over my whole life but there is no bigger high them being on tage

Me and my friends have been talking about it. So far me the other guitarist and the singer are really into it. If we did eventually start practicing together we would deffinately play rock, I would play guitar, and so far the coolest name (that I came up with) that we have is Public Television

i was asked to be vocalist for a band 'third time's for you'
but they broke up before i decided haha, i took a while cos altho im...err...ok at fitting the role they needed, im quite shy embarrasment

Df02

was me an my mate, he plays guitar and drums, and does music programming on PC...i can play keyboard, synths all electronic kit etc...and i provided vocal samples

tabby999

Im in a band and I play guitar. Unfortunately we are kind of inactive so most of the time I just play on my own.

rickyduck

kyuubinaruto

dark_angelz
Im in a band, my brother created it. Called Sapphire. I sometimes sing or I play the drums or electric guitar.

kyuubinaruto

Black Flag
I play guitar and do vocals in my band , name's Anarchist Monument, we are Thrash and tommorow we're opening for a pretty big band no one knows of them yet but they're on their way, name's The Horrifics.

StinkFist462
im in a solo-type band. i have an electric drum set, guitar, and bass. i record most of my music through my "studio" i built. its pretty crappy, but it works.

my friend plays sometimes. he brings weird makeshift instruments, and sometimes orchestratical instruments (cello, violin, etc.)

its mostly tripped out jam music. a mix of just jammin out and a mix of geeky noises. Mars Volta-esque jamming with a weird Gorrilaz-esque type sound to it. its pretty calm music, like Postal Service calm.

i wouldnt really call it a band, there is no plans on live shows or releasing anything, its just for shits 'n giggles. but who knows, i might master some stuff a release it on the net somehow.

Ain't in a band, but I write songs & unfortunately haven't found anyone to sing them. Anyway, mayb i'll find someone...thumb up

Df02
since i now have a bass of my own (i've been able to play for ages, just not owned one) me and a few of my mates have jokingly started making Screamo-rehashes of Spandau Ballet songs haha

Alpha Centauri
I will give you money if you cover and record Gold.

-AC

thats the first song we're doing.
Basically we have a really good guitarist who usually plays death metal, me and the other guitarist are gonna do the vocals and he plays guitar, i play bass... and we have a choice of 2 really good drummers lined up.

so it's going to be:
-Gold
-To Cut a Long Story Short
-Musclebound
and
-True

shouldn't be too hard haha.
Me and the other soon-to-be vocalist brought up the idea mainly as a joke, but then the guitarist was really excited about it because he just wanted to mock the whole 'scene' haha (he's already in the most talented and 'should-be-successful' band in the town and wanted to do something with less pressure haha)

ChickinMeat
Well, i am in 2 bands, i play bass for both of them, one is a metal band (pantera, dream theater influences), and the other one is probably going to be a mellow style rock band.

Fingers crossed that they work out!

Silverstein
you guys all make your own music or are there cover/tribute bands here?

my band makes our own sound

loserib
My band got a new drummer just recently.since then we have been playing with bigger names.Mike Graves,scum of the Earth,Thor and Hemlock. We also have a date with Kettle Cadaver in a month or two. We only Play one cover Pantera's Walk The rest of the set we wrote.

What the f...?
I play in a band ... Our genre is Power and Progressive metal. I play the Keyboards/Piano. We consist of 5 members(Vocal,Guitar,Bass,Drums,and keys), and we've been making our own songs and playing covers. We've been only together for 1 year now, and we found a singer this past summer big grin.
