So I'm going to be blunt in this advert. I've been looking for people on here for (I think) 10 years now and the rate of let down is horrendous. I'm not convinced anyone here actually wants to make music, it just seems to be social media for people who like to think they'll be musicians.
Maybe that seems harsh, but so is having literally hundreds of hours wasted learning songs only to be let down by people.
I'd be very glad for my position to be proven wrong.
Here's what I'm going for;
I'm a very versatile guitarist and vocalist. I'm not amazing, but I can nail a ton of vocal styles pretty danm well, from throat singing up to justin hawkins from the Darkness. I can do solos like those found in guns and roses, steel panther and alterbridge. I can also sing and play rythm together (complex rythm, it just takes practice though admittedly is a great pain in the ass). I'm versatile in taste, but rock, metal and grunge are more comfortable genres for me. Anything from Nine Inch Nails, Kate Bush, Jamiroquai, Mika, The Darkness, Metallica. I have a fairly general taste.
I'm asking for one simple thing; People who want to be in a band, to put on awesome shows together and to contribute to each other's musical ideas. I feel like teenagers used to meet up in a garage with budget equipment and find the heart of what music is, and now I can't even get grown adults to coordinate 3 hours a week to explore music. It doesn't help that no one has any patience for anything. If the first song we write in a few hours of jamming isn't an instant hit, I don't care. We made something. You do it again and again and you get better.
So I'm looking for people ready to commit. To believe in each other and more importantly, to believe they have potential to do something more than badly replicate the glory of the 70s and 80s with their childhood guitar lesson guitar playing.
I don't care how good you are as long as you can play something. I love jamming, sitting down with instruments and exploring what comes out. I'll do covers, I'll do originals, I'll do other people's originals. I would just like something to happen, because I don't know a damn soul who's in music with anyone other than childhood freinds who coincidentally also wanted to be in a band, and my childhood freinds all work in offices.
So that's my offer. If you actually want to go somewhere, not just to go there but to actually put the hours and effort in and make music an important part of your life, if you're actually willing an able to do that then I'd like to talk and get something going. Please message me. I'm a very social, freindly person, I'm just a bit tired of having my time wasted when it comes to finding bands.
