So, anyone here in a band? If you're not do you play anything?
I'm in a heavy metal/dark metal band it's name is Physco Epidemic we've been a band since 1999. I play the guitar. I have played the electric guitar since I was 8 1/2. I also play the drums but I favor the guitar more, I also play it in my band and I am back up vocals. We have played many of many shows. It's cool. We have a record deal we're signing next year! So look for us! So, what about ya'll?

I've been playing guitar for about four years now and I'm pretty good at it.

As for being in a band Heretic_Hatred and I are currently looking for at least two more members for a band we're starting, which we have called "Freak Show on Demand", which is also a song that we're working on.

Right now I'm the first guitarist, Heretic_Hatred is the drummer, and one of our friends is the bassist. He could be the second guitarist if we can find a bassist. We're also looking for someone to do the vocals, but at the way things seems to be going, I'll end up being the vocalist.

I've only played drums for about a year now, but im workin on it. We are just starting our band, like The (Sic) Shape mentioned. We still need some members, we're lookin, but right now we are progressin, not quick, but we'll get to our goal.

Even though it will tkae a whole lot of work, we will try to get as far as we possibly can.

I was in a band..'Da Southside Villains' Flowin..but i moved out of the school it was based in. Nice group, too. I was learning both the Viola and the guitar at the time...nice flows, the works. Had the cd list done, save about 2 songs, and..we were ready for Dre. (Or any one else..i'd work with Dre on my own time ^_^)

so..there's your answer to the instrument part..too. Viola and Guitar.

I am currently in a band that has no name... we have thrown around about 100(I kid you not!) and we still have nothing!

I play guitar, but my specialty now is writing lyrics/music and lead vocals.

The band is looking awesome... and we're lookin at a show soon!

We're working on covers mostly, right now, but our stuff we're making ourselves ain't half bad either...

I guess you could define us as Punk/Emo... but I don't want to be labeled... I just want to play a bunch of everything, from Metal to Punk, that's my eventual goal!

[size=1][color=darkblue] I play drums on occasion, usually after Church services I can get a play on them.

Recently, I've been invited to join the worship team, and they're going to tech me a few new things. I really like percussion instruments, especially the drums, so it'll be a treat! [/size][/color]

yeah Shinji! Heretic_Hatred and I like to play the drums, *we're in the same class*. Well, i didn't know about any band that they were started, and the (sic) shape doesn't even play any instruments...*at least none that i know of...*

Well, yeah i do know how to play the Snare, and i play the Alto sax. I guess i'm ok at it, not pro kinda way though. I'm only in intermediate band, so i can't really give you my opinion on my skill..I hope to be really good at it, like a pro, and to be better than everyone else..*not that i think like that, i just want to be good in that kinda way.*

Snare drum....Pretty good, but i hope to move on to the set, before i used to like the snare drum ONLY, but you know, now that i think about it, there is nothing better than a good beat that you make up by yourself.

Well, I'm going to go, and good luck to anyone else that plays an instrument, and best of wishes to those new bands.

I recently made a band with a group of my friends. I am a drummer. I have played drums for just over 3 years now. I personally think i am not too bad but am still learning to get better.

The name of our band is Rebirth. We are all into fantasy games, books, pictures, names, etc... and we thought of Rebirth because it isnt used alot. We have thought alot about what the cd would be like, what the cover would look like and what the album would be called...

On the front of our CD cover it has a Dark Elf in the middle of nowhere on his knees and fire coming from his hands.( Like he is pleading for something).
We have thought about alot of different album names and have come up with Angels in the Myst. It sounds pretty cool and kind of fits with the band name. We currently have 5 members and just need a singer and maybe another Guitarist.

We are a Hybrid/Rock/Metal type band. We love linkin park, Deftones, and Disturbed! We can play songs from those bands.

Soon Me and my friends are going to take a Focus program at our school called Making A Demo. It is a whole semester of creating songs and making an album. It would be awesome to participate in!

Sorry if I got carried away..... just we have gone into great detail with our band and we are hoping to go far! We have took part in Coffeehouses at school and stuff so we are slowly getting there!~

Again sorry for getting carried away:)
-May Rebirth Live On

Yeah, what are they doing? Running around stage being stupid? I mean come on you have enough people. Let's see you only need 2 at the most guitar players, One drummer, that's 3 already, one bassist (some may think different with 2) and a singer! So, how's that. I guess it depends on who can do what right? Well, anyways that;s just what I think. Because I have 5 members in my band.

I can't join bands because I'd promote only myself and kick "my" members to the street once we became mildly popular to form a solo career.

And maybe his band plays ska.

Lol, that's selfish. But you know you couldn't do that....Because if you're in a band you have to have more than just yourself! Unless, you want to do that stupid crappy rap shinot or r an b or pop! Ya know? Lol, so unless that's the case there would be no way for you to do that! Get my flow? Haha. XD

I can sing. [i]really[/i] well. I'm not in a band though, or anything in the biz... yet. >.> In fact if I did anything, it wouldn't be soon, because I haven't trained my voice yet

Anyways, if that doesn't count, I don't have one. Though I'm learning guitar. :D

I am in a band called The Spheres. I showed Charles some of our stuff a while back, although we have improved since then. The band is made up of me and my mates, i play drums, my friend Jordan sings and playes rythm, Andy plays bass and wee Chris plays lead guitar. A 4 piece, although we might recruits another mate to play rythm as Jordan may sing full out instead of playing and singing too.

I've been playing the bass for two yrs I'm so so on that.
The Guitar I been learning.
I am more of the singer in the band called Konkretepedal69.
I also have another band which I play primarly bass nad I am the lead singer. That one is really hard since mainly all our songs are heavy. That band has been around since 2000 we had a song onlocal lix but Our 2nd bassist seems to be having family problems so we never get to play that much anymore.


Here is a piece-

Monsters crawling in my closet or maybe it's just a young child dream. I just got lucky But Lucky is not what it seems.
I promise life will get better But my mind isn't where it's suposed to stand I forgot my canopener to open the one-minute-life-is-beautiful can.

[color=royalblue] I currently play both the piano and the cello, and I'm in the orchestra. I'm seriously considering quiting the orchestra, though, it's actually very competitive. Most people think we're a bunch of losers who sit around and play scales all day! *coughs nervously*

Heh...anyway, I love listening to classical music, but playing it is hard as crap. And then in my future high school they have a system where people are always challenging each other to get a better seat in the orchestra. I don't really like confrontations like that, and my middle school orchestra conductor just brought the system at the high school to our orchestra, and I dislike it. Piano is much more uh...relaxing. O_o.

But really, do you remember sitting through that God-awful concert in middle school while you heard your school orchestra play while the band is off playing some super-cool cartoon theme song or Disney? Playing a string instrument is probably the hardest out of the range of most instruments, because there's so many elements mixed in. One slight finger movement and the whole song is ruined. One wrong bow motion and the song is blurry. Most people in elementary to high school orchestras really cannot play a string instrument right if their life depended upon it.

Im in band a band called SLAUHTERED. It started of with me and a mate and i play guitar while he plays bass. I play 2 guitars. My fav guitar my custom made fender start and a yamaha pacifica. Then we bought in my friend chris in on guitar and volcals. That guy is amzing cause he can do both things at once. Then my ex girlfriends brother Tim joined and plays drums. Its cool now cause i get to play solos. If you listen to our songs you can tell its in your face complete 1000 rpm thrash metal. We have about 10 songs under our belts and a cd.
