Re: Wanting to start a rock band, but need some advice As Cinnamon posted, every member in a band is a part of it, which is why who you choose to be with is of great importance. You cant find three people who play various instruments and joim them together, expecting them to stay on the same page just because they are all good or even great musicians. I am living proof that a musician can adapt to the style of another musician and that other musicians can adapt to my style for a night or two if need be, but a band will spend sleepless nights practicing things, thinking over things, wondering about the overall direction of their music, and then there are the studio session, assuming you want to go that route. That having been said, compromises need to be made to accommodate all of the differences that will no doubt present themselves over that span of time.Art does not exist within a basket from which we can simply extract it. It is not found in massive quantities throughout individuals or even grou ps; art is much too complex to simply be an object or group of objects of interest that a person can sift through to create something that thousands or even hundreds of people will come to enjoy. There needs to be a desired value system, an ontic referent, something to look back at that will give artists perspective and purpose in order to even consider creation of any sort. Since every mind differs slightly at the very least, you will find that this point of reference will see regular change as people grow older, wiser, attempting to learn from past mistakes while being implicitly and explicitly driven to change themselves. You need to understand this, because you will no doubt be a different person in 10 years, but assuming you havent changed, someone around you will. Call it growing up, or selling out, or giving in, or whatever else you can think of to title it, but the fact is that change comes in many forms and affects everyone around it. IN some cases it brings out the best, while other people simply shut down and turn in on themselves or turn outwardly aggressive, which causes even more change.IN a band, this will become even more noticeable. Bands that have been around seemingly forever have undergone many changes and lost many fans along the way in an attempt to retain a so-called integrity, but of course, if you think about it from an outside perspective that integrity is lost as soon as the band changes even slightly. Perfection is what every band strives for, eventually obtaining the desired value system that sets things in motion for everyone including the fans. if we study the idea of perfection for just a tiny bit, we find that were it to change even slightly, perfection would no longer be perfect, thus, that which fans once perceived as great and which is subject to change loses its integrity. Loyal and understanding individuals will follow you to the ends of the earths because they are true fanatics of something or everything youve done, placing confidence in you that you may not even have to turn things around and reshape everyones image of the band with your skill and your greatness and your intelligence and your talents and whatever else you have at your disposal. You are superman!For some people that is a responsibility too hard to handle. for others, the passion for music is yet another driving force that makes the matter just another walk in the park. Speaking as a person who has had the liberty to work with music however I see fit and with no one other than the fans to tell me no, this is my personal experience. As soon as I am part of a band, all of my knowledge, my ability to build a piece from the ground up and put all of the building blocks together to achieve the final outcome I invision is suddenly a moot point. No, it is not entirely useless, just uninimportant in comparison to the greater tas ks of coordination and seemless systematic operation of the band working in unison at all times, while keeping it easy and comfortable on everyone involved. if I excersise my knowledge just the right way, I may be seen as a condescending hotshot or a conceited and cocky individual. it doesnt matter how much I know anymore, because its not all about me, not even if I manage to gain everyones respect and become the head or leader or frontman or whatever else you wish to call it.Understand these things; come to grip with these things.

Re: Wanting to start a rock band, but need some advice Hello Truegamer.Well like everybody else said there is no way to just start a band by snapping your fingers but one good way to start a band is just to get out there and talk to people. See if you have things in common such as music that you like and if they play an instrument. You can actually get a good group of people together by doing this since it works better if your friends so you can work well together. If you really want to get a band together quickly which I wouldnt recommend go on craigslist or another website like that and post an add for getting a band together.Hth.

Wanting to start a rock band, but need some advice
Wanting to start a rock band, but need some advice This sounds insane I know, but I am generally wanting to know how you went about getting a band.I am tired of school and while I dont plan to quit it now, I sure as hell want to do something at the spare time I have.I thought of joining a band as a developing singer, but the thought does not appeal me. Why? Because I think that most rockers today have a bad taste, and most stuff turns out into garage bands or fake metal bands.I already have a music project going on which consists of really dark poem and hellish lyrics and documents with descriptions for how I want a lot of stuff to sound. I am also learning Protools atm.But I just want to know how you did, or howd you do to get a small group of freaks together.

Re: Wanting to start a rock band, but need some advice
Re: Wanting to start a rock band, but need some advice First you need people, musically inclined people who are interested in the same style of music you are. Musically inclined people who can work together, take critisism, and work as a team for a goal everyone loves. Youre kind of up the creek without that.My band began in 2010 with three college friends; a drummer, a guitarist, and a bassist who were all computer science majors. They decided to start a band because it would be fun to play punk rock covers. The drummer met a theater major in class one day, and found out she could sing. He asked her, How would you like to be in a rock band? Somewhere along the way, a male singer joined the band and left. The friends practiced their punk rock in a church every week and had a lot of fun. A couple years later, the bassist left. The band got hired to play the score for Evil Dead at the university, and they found a bassist to join in. He stayed with the band for a year. after Evil Dead, the band played a couple op en mic sessions at a bar in the next town over. Due to creative differences, the bassist left and the band said, Hey Cinnamon, how would you like to play the bass? Cinnamon said, What the hell is a bass? With her knowledge of music theory, the lovely and charming Cinnamon borrowed a bass guitar from her church pastor and, in four weeks, learned six songs. They played a charity show for the church, and it was Cinnamons first show.Since then, the band has played at open mics around town, along with a show at a small pride festival. Currently, we have five full origional songs, each one centered around mythology, primarily Greek mythology; hince our name, Delphi LIVE. We are beginning to practice our songs with click tracks, because we hope to get into a friends recording studio before December to lay down three professionally done demo tracks so we can pimp them around town to get gigs.So, in essence, its a lot of work to be in a band if you want to do more than just practice once a week for the fun of it. Its been four years, and the band is just now taking things seriously and trying to polish up. We have disagreements, we have to compromise with one another, and we have to listen to what each member wants to do. Were a team. We always group hug after every show and practice. You cant just come in like a wrecking ball and demand to be the leader of the pack; thats not how a band works. Being in a band can be as fun or as serious as you want it to be, but it starts with people who share a vision.Now that Ive written that unnecessary novella, you can check out some of our live gigs, (Sorry, theyre recorded on a cell phone) atwww.facebook.com/delphilivemusic URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=190919#p190919 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
