Poor Twisted Me

I'm in this situation too  I've been playing guitar for almost 3 years now and ever since I've been like, 10! I know I wanted to play in a band. And now I actually have the skills to do so and there's no one out there! I have friends who play bass, guitar and drums, but they're all in bands already! Either that or I know people who play, but they're skill level is not the same as mine or they have a different style/like different music. So I'm just stuck here jamming with a computer. I have a friend who plays drums and we jam on Metallica songs sometimes, but it's just not the same. It gets really frustrating some times because I come up with all these songs but they're no good with just one guitar, I want to have a whole band! But for now I'll just practice and hopefully some people come around who want to start a band.

What might be fun is if some of us got together in somewhere like Denmark next year and tried to just be a Metallica cover band and do a small tour for a few weeks during the summer? Just in pubs and rock clubs, places like that  Even if it wasn't for long, it might get something started!  If there are a few of us determined to do it, it could work out and be a lot of fun!

Holy hell that sounds GREAT to me! It would probably be hard to get together people because then you would've to actually live (in Denmark for example) for a while. But hey, nothing is impossible right? Man that would be awesome *dreams*Another fun thing that got me thinking even more about this is that a few days ago I visited a real studio where my friends boyfriends band record songs in. They sat in the control room and I was at the drumkit in the studio (MUCH better than what I got at home) and I got to play some and they record it so I then got to listen to myself playing, for the first time!! It was so cooool to hear! And then he played some Metallica songs on guitar and I just played along, SO MUCH FUN! Dammit I want this!! Let's form a band just for fun

It would be awesome to just do it for fun! If we found enough people for a band, we could try to go from there! If you play drums and I do bass, then we would just need lead guitar, rythm guitar and vocals (I would be happy to do them if the worst came to the worst )ANYONE INTERESTED?! Messing about in that studio sounds really fun! People in bands are so lucky! Imagine just playing music for a living! It would be totally awesome!

I know exactly how you feel, hence why I'm hopefully headed to Berklee in a short year to make up for lost band time! I've tried for all of my high school- and some middle school- years to start a band. I've run ads, I've posted flyers, enlisted my best friends to help me form connections- nothing. And it's simply because there are so few musicians in my neck of the woods, and those who are actually around here refuse to see that there's a musical world beyond country and indie, as much as those are important, too. I've played in some small ensembles before, done a couple duets- let me just say, I am not fond of running solo, for whatever reason. I just don't like it, besides, I'm more talented (in my opinion, anyway) as a rhythm guitarist and vocalist than a lead guitarist. I like to be more grounded with what I play.  But my advice- keep actively looking! You never know what might turn up! I'm hoping my words prove true for all of us.

Thanks for the advice! It's a tricky buissness indeed.. but I guess that's what you can do, to just keep trying.

I'd sign up as a vocalist if you need one... I live in Norway, so Denmark is just an hour flight away from here! But well, I WISH I could play rhythm guitar and sing, but I can't, so there's the little minus, if you gals thought of a band that had the same line-up...

But that's great! We don't need the exact same line-up! If only we could make a band.. it would be so over the top awesome. I'm still hungry for this. |

I'm in this situation at the moment. I'm in a band that play's at parties & play a few gigs at club's & our drummer & lead guitarist have just got up & left us. It's just myself & my bestfriend (Who plays bass) left now. The other two thought playing cover's of Metallica was boring & we needed to explore. When actually we did, we played alot of other band covers too (Nirvana, Iron Maiden, Deep purple etc.) We also did our own songs too. I think they wanted to play more pop... I hate pop, i'm also pretty stubborn too. So i don't blame them in a way. I'd rather have a healthy band with bandmate's that are happy. Destroyed Paradise (my band name) Is literally destroyed at the moment. So... Anyone in New Zealand who play's Lead Guitar & Drums Contact me You just got to be positive & keep trying to find you some band mate's. They'll come around, just when it's least expected. I'm thinking positive about all this, 'coz i'm not stopping doing what i love, Rhythm guitar & Vocals Edited by Shannyn(:, Jan 2 2011, 07:48 PM.

Yeah! Theres nothing better than sitting around playing Metallica! I can never find many people who like to play Metallica where i live, it's kind of hard. It's either they don't know alot of their songs or they would rather play pop. But just got to stay positive & keep looking right? |

Omg thats exactly the same with me! Haha. My bestfriend Gemma is the only girl i know in person & is the same age as me who loves Metallica, everyone else around my age is all into the new age screamo & pop stuff. Where i stick with what i know best: Heavy Metal & Old school rock! Yeah, i always end up playing with the guys too! Oh wow is there really? You live in Croatia? That is so awesome I have a hard time around here trying to find a lead guitarist, so im going to have to play lead while someone does rhythm. But im prepared to do just about anything to have a full band again
