anyone in a band? do u perform? what are ure influences? talk about it!

i used to be in a cover band for 4 years, and now i've been playing solo for 4 years as well. we used to cover stuff like rage and silverchair but now since i'm solo i tend to write heaps acoustic stuff.

musically my influences are incubus, silverchair, and various forms of jazz and blues. vocally my influences are daniel johns, brandon boyd, and almost any black american singer.

Yeah. I'm in a band.. it's kinda fake, though, lol.

We are called the Stoned Pandas..

We're like heavy metal, rock, and punk all in one.

I'm one of the drummers.. yes, there are two drummers..

We all scream a lot..

This should be in entertainment.

The Stoned Pandas? Thats an awesome name~ I'm not in a band. I sing in my shower. I call myself Yemi when I sing.

Stoned Pandas huh...hmmm...pandas and metal. interesting combination.

oh me!! I'm in a band!! I have been in "Before the Fall" for about 2 years. I do lead vocals and all the music writing!! We play all over long island

Our main influences are radiohead, jack off jill, incubus, hendrix (guitar parts) and a little bit of bob marley (some songs have a bit of a reggae twist to it)

Thats cool

Im not really into the band thing but it must take a lot of work

so there ARE ppl in bands in this forum. excellent

i used to be in band when i was in the sixth grade... i played percussion!!! wheee best group ever!!!! then i quit... then began taking private druming lessons.. bu then my dad made me quit... eerrr

what sorta percussion? i hooked up with a percussion group back in malaysia that jams every sunday. everyone mostly plays djembes. its so much fun!

Not really. I just start singing lyrics & my friends do beat boxes or just do the vocals with me.

I'm in a worship band...I play violin. Me and my friends are planning to start a band though. I could either be the guitarist or volcalist...

i'm starting a band with my friends matt, matt, and richie. we're gunna be straight edge hardcore! it's gunna kick a$$! we get along so great!, it's gunna be awsome. right now i play guitar in it but i'm probably going to become the vocalist since i'm an ok singer and an ok screamer.

my biggest influences are lamb of god, hatebreed, killswitch angage, some dimmu borgir, cradle of filth, atreyu, and chimaira. i try to be slightly technical. like in the middle of the 2 chord slipknot type and the crazy hard riffs that pull muscels in your hands.

Woah, your band is gonna kick ass if those are your influences!

that's impressive if ure straightedge fer real. are there many who are pure straightedge in the scene where u are?

i don't know. i don't really want to be in a "scene". i just know i don't want to drink or smoke and being able to say "i'm straight edge" gives me a way to be proud of my choice when my friends pressure me.

besides...

all the boys in the straight edge scene
are in the basement huffin gasoline.

fair call dude. stay away from the gasoline!

Haha Lunchbox - Sarah and I actually thought of starting a girl death metal band. Hmm...I'm straight edge! You know that. *High five*

lunchbox? isnt that like a term for ure crotch in some parts of the world? like "how big is ure lunchbox"

i got a friend who's in a band called "furniture". talk about original

hmm i dont call it band like play at skool or anything... we jus make our own band like we play it by ourselves...heh we made some songs, but i quit...cus i moved lols...heh so yeah but i started to dislike punk rock...heh well i used to love it so much...but now im into korean songs and japanese songs more...like ayumi hamasaki, utada hikaru, shinhwa, baby vox, eugene, s.e.s., boa, g-dragon, 1tym, yg family, etc.

my friends wanted to start a band, but none of them know any instruments. I think it would be fun though. I think if I were in a band I'd want to play piano, because I'm bad at guitar.

ooh i just realised u werent referring to a band when u mentioned lunchbox...haha. sorry ryfitadf.

im int he nerdy school band. lol, i play the flute and the piccolo.

i sing but im not in a band, its really hard to find a good people nowadays cus almost all are already in a band.

it's really stranged
everybody who leaves a "hardcore" starts to go solo? tends to go to the acoustic side somehow

it's like, once you're solo you change to acoustic

Im in a band called Musical Ministers we are a mixture of hardcore and emo..me and my friend carlo sing (he mostly screams and i sing), we played a few shows at clubs and parties, the best part is playing shows but the hard part is getting them..

no but i wish i was. im instrumentally challeged

im not in a band persay, but i manage many bands. check em out on myspace sometime. www.myspace.com/resistancebooking

symphonic band bitches

I was a in a fake ska band last year just for our talent show.
I played the alto sax, we played everything went numb - streetlight manifesto


i guess we were influenced by streetlight manifesto and catch22

im in the school band? and i just performed in the cabaret orchestra (the musical).

I've played bass guitar in a number of bands, mostly of the punk, emo, or grunge variety, but I currently do not have a band with which I perform, unfortunately.
