Yeah, I am very determined to play in a band. I've played in bands, mostly been a singer, but its been years since I've sang, so honestly, confidence has led me to believe I just can't do it anymore. As much as I loved doing it, I don't know if I can ever get my old frontman vocalist adrenaline back, unless its the PERFECT band, seriously.
So I'm aiming to play guitar more so, I've been playing for 4-5 years now, I've got gear, my amp is small, but powerful. I'm a student in college studying music performance, but life there for me is quite crap because I'm an anti-social creep. Yeah, life isn't going too great currently, got a lot of free time now though (since the ol' breakup with the gf), Christmas is coming up, lets make it a happy one. I can play many genres, I'm desperate so I don't care(wait, I do care, I just don't wanna play crappy ones) feeling more heavy stuff (the people that come with heavy metal are well easy going and awesome) it doesn't take me long to learn stuff, rhythm preferred over lead, its not that I can't do it, but lead is more effort to learn most the time, and the amounts of time I've had to learn some crazy ass solo and not get to perform it...uhhhh maaan. But you know, if I get settled in some band, I may just be up for learning and writing complicated stuff. I am aware though that most people I end up talking to on here doesn't work out, tends to be a waste of time because we never arrange anything or go anywhere, just a bunch of wannabes pretty much. I need some cool band mates n friends, preferably same age group obviously, no older than 20, I dunno, call me weird, but I feel way more comfortable around the same age group, less pressurized to look professional lol.
I am the quiet type, drink alot of energy drink, especially monster, at least I don't do drugs or smoke, except one cigar....once. But yeah, I don't mind if you guys do, I'm cool with that, I just don't want no criminal record. I wanna gig asap! Theres no better feeling than performing in front of a lively crowd, especially when the music is actually good and they like it xD. There is something I ask, I don't mind people who reply and say "yeah man, I'm currently looking for some guys to form a band with, you can be our guitarist/singer/bassist/breakdancer/whatever, but I still got to find a drummer, and a ton of other members which may take until some time mid 2014, then we can practice for the first time!" I will respond, but if its unprepared, I will keep searching for other bands at the same time, unless you live mega local or something where we can hang out and drink energy drink and party, then I'm up for fun even if the band goes absolutely nowhere. What else, ah yeah, preferably responses to this ad should genuinely be a band ready, with a place to practice(preferably where not to PAY money, but yeah, depends how much) equipment ready, maybe even songs all set, but I'm totally up to start from scratch, just as long as you're ready and stuff.
So now that you got an idea of what kind of person I am, lets play music! Yaaahhh
....oh yeah, names Alex, if you want facebook add, email address, I'm not giving it to you! You have to reply to the add first, so there!
