Pissed Off

Well, the kid I was supposed to jam with today either gave me screwy directions or flat out no-showed. Thats the third time this has happened. By this point its becoming very aggravating to have people say, "Oh hey man, you're great, lets start a band it'll be awsome". And then they **ing bail and lie to me. I mean what the ** do I have to do!?

Ozz

you should start the band instead of someone else suggest the idea

Thats exactly what the ** I've been trying to do. This town has absolutely nobody who is willing to give a monkey's ass about ANYTHING. All I want to do is play my music. Thats it. And what happens? **in' nothing every time I get close to something.
Sorry for the language but the title of the thread should kind of hint it.

Ozz

For now you could probably post an add in the local paper or what ever. make some midi backing traks and play along. Thats how my mate got seen and is now one of the most admired musicians in our school.

quoting the Jonas brothers i see. lol
yeah that annoys me when people don't care about things as much as you do, but they say they do anyway. What i would do is, try to stick with one band, focus on getting one group of people to go to practices.

Eh, it's worse when its your Girlfriend doing it to you trust me, anyway! Follow with jcb he's got the right idea post up some ADs

@ Nutter & JCB - Okay. I'll try.

@ Pat - NO I'm not quoting those superficial faggots either. And focusing on one band is hard to do when there isn't even a band to focus on.

what i mean is find some people you'd like to be in YOUR band and keep trying to get them to be in it. if they don't they don't but they probably will if you keep trying on just them.

I don't know anybody except that guy. And if he never shows up for anything what the hells the point in trying to get him to.

oh, i get you now. well in that case i'd just keep trying see who's willing, who's not.

Huh, really? lol. Sorry. When I get mad my sarcastic side takes a bit of a leap.

you know what, get yourself a drum machine. see if there are any computer programs with "bass machines?"and go solo/.

Nope. I just want something real. Not some Yngwie Malmsteen "guitar Shark" * type thing. Take Metallica for example. They always got along [till St. Anger days] and rocked like crazy. I guess what I'm saying is I want something stable. I know I can make good music with it, its just down to HOW. I don't know, I'm sorry for dropping all this crap on you guys. idk.

no it's good to ask other people, especially musicions, these kinds of questions . Maybe phip or jazzy will have some better advice

Ozzfan, what comes to Metallica, ask whatkind it was for Jason Newsted... or its not really black and white... anyway, I dunno, you age is still so young, but browse the net to get touch with other musicians near you...

Or get a friends that have balls to try something new. Well anyway it will need money and a place and stuff you know, not all of your age maybe have possibilities on it... but patience man, keep on practising. Let see where fate takes you :P

I have to admit, I did have a funny feeling this would happen. I didn't want to say anything because it'd seem juge mental though. I guess you had to learn not to put your trust in someone the bad way. Forget him, form your own. These things happen. A positive thing will happen on return, life is a funny balence.

I've suggested this program a fair few times already. But you should get Band In A Box. Because you can jam along to whatever chord progression you want and even to some songs.

Just calm down, and actually question the people and say "Why do you want to form a band?", "Where do you see yourself going" before you invite them.

Treat it like an interview because otherwise you could end up with people who aren't serious about it.

Okay, cool. Thanks guys! The asking thing seems pretty good Jazz.

I HAVE BEEN ALSO LOOKING FOR SOME ONE TO JAM WITH ,,NEVER PLAYED IN BAND BEFORE BUT YOU HAVE TO START SOME WERE I,AM THE REAL DEAL LOVE TO GET ONE STARTED,WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT A TRY,CAN,T, FIND NOBUDY HERE IN FLORIDA,HINT HINT? I,AM GOING TO TRY SOME OF THE MUSIC STORES AROUND HERE THAT GIVE LESSONS THEY MIGHT ASK PEOPLE IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN GETTING A BAND STARTED,,,

I say stay solo, its easier. I have literally nobody around where i live that plays drums or anything, and its not like you can have 10 guitarists in one band...or can you?? haha, but what im getting at is stay solo for now dude. see what happens, still not satisfied, take it elsewhere. Goodluck :]

@ Bulldog - Haha. Ever seen Black Tide? Awsome metal band. My age too lol.

I thought that was you,, And don't no black tide, but i'll look them up, just don't give up your dream of playing in a band it takes lots of deadication if its what you want,,
