So yeah. It's looking like I'm going to have some free time to work with. And I have my chops in order. And my amp is functional enough for live use. And my car is working. So I can actually do something musically. Hoo-ray.

http://www.soundclick.com/thygod - The Watchtower, Oppression, and Skull Feast are the most representative of the intended musical direction.

I definitely need a second guitarist and a drummer, may or may not need a bassist (I got people that may be willing), probably don't need a vocalist (I have no issues doing them myself, would kinda almost prefer it...but if you kick enough ass and are capable of writing lyrics I may put it into consideration.)

The usual bump in the road (Aside from random stuff popping up and fucking me over) is that I can be a bit douchebaggy with my requirements, mostly because I actually want to accomplish stuff as a band.

Transportation's a must. I'm not a soccer mom, I don't want to be driving out and picking you up every goddamn practice.
21+, please. I don't want to get shit for bar shows. (Then again I'm not aware of too many people on here under 21 anyway)
Equipment, equipment, equipment. And the knowledge to tweak it. If you can get good tone out of some random pawnshop POS, cool. If you have an ENGL full stack and a Bareknuckle-loaded Gibson LP and insist on making it sound like bees in a tincan, go fornicate yourself. [No, this isn't based on an actual experience, it's purely hypothetical]
Guitarists - It'd help if you could sweep pick. It's my main weakness, and it'd be nice to have a counterbalance in the band.
Deal with diversity. My music tastes are ridiculously varied, my influences just about as much so. I don't want to have to throw out a good song because it "doesn't fit the mold" of the band. (Read: I don't want the band to have a mold to fit into)
BE SOBER. For practice and gigs, at least. I don't care if you're a raging alcoholic or pothead, as long as you can keep that separate from the music. Shit beyond that, though, I gotta draw the line.


tl;dr - Trying to start a band, need drummer, second guitar, maybe bass, there's only room for one douche in the band (And that's me.)

Probably most effective to reply on here. If you have my AIM (Or if I still list it on here, I forget) feel free to IM. Basically, anything but e-mail should be effective to reach me. I have no life and am on teh intarwebs pretty frequently.

I feel stupid for it... but i don't recognize any of those three bands.. I dunno what kinda music you're playing. (want to play)

Those aren't bands he listed, they're songs he's written and put on Soundclick, Jimbobo.

If only I were 21+, oh well! All that sweep picking practice for nothing!

This stuff sounds really interesting and fun as hell. Good luck with it dude.

Martins, some day you'll see why young people are terrible.



toggletoggle post by ouchdrummer   at Sep 30,2009 9:59am
yeah, when he's old and irritated by em... in defense of Martins though, during the brief time i spent in his company, he didn't seem young at all. Very mature....albeit gay, but i like that.



toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Sep 30,2009 10:03am
I think it's fun to ask young folks if they remember what game they played for recess on 9/11.



toggletoggle post by aril at Sep 30,2009 10:11am
I don't know. When I met Martins I thought he was a 5 year old.



toggletoggle post by I_am_not_me   at Sep 30,2009 11:10am
Oh yeah, I'm from Hudson (MA). Probably would've helped to mention that. I always do that.

And the age thing isn't a 100% requirement if you're absolutely ridiculously awesome. And don't try to get me to buy booze for you and all your underage buddies.

Have you accomplished anything besides these click tracks? FYI, An unaccomplished douchebag is just another metal fan... you get more flies with honey

I haven't really, the last full-time band I was in was 4 years ago. But yes, I'll readily admit to being an unaccomplished douchebag. And I'm also trying to sidestep all the issues I've had in my attempts to start something since.

this thread is FULL of lulz.



toggletoggle post by LOL! at Sep 30,2009 3:40pm
just being honest. but i didn't listen to your clips.

playing drunk is one thing, but being glazed while playing is a completely different universe. some people can do it, some can't.
personally LOL! thinks it's much better and makes musik sound much better



toggletoggle post by I_am_not_me   at Oct 1,2009 12:54am
Most of the people I've encountered in my various attempts to get something going can't do it. Or they take so much time out of practice to get high that nothing gets done. I'm just trying my best to cut through the bullshit and find people that'll work well with me.



toggletoggle post by ouchdrummer   at Oct 1,2009 8:24am
For the record, i play high all the time. LITERALLY all the time. That's not to say that i need to blaze to play, but anyone who knows me will tell ya it doesn't affect my playing. Maybe it's just me though.



toggletoggle post by ouchdrummer   at Oct 1,2009 8:25am
I think it all comes down to how you practice by yourself. (and if you practice by yourself) if you do it high every day, then practicing/shows aren't a problem. It's the dudes who never smoke when they play every day that shouldn't get "crazy" at shows.

Fine, I'm gonna start performing solo! With blackjack! And hookers!

On second though, forget the performance.





And the blackjack.
