Hey everybody. I was wondering if any one here was in a real band? (By "real" I mean not Rock Band or Guitar Hero) If so, what style do you play, where do you play ect. Links to videos or myspace pages would be awesome.

I'll start by posting my band

My Band

Next year my friends and I hope to be starting a band. I would be on drums, one friend the guitarist, on the lead singer/saxaphonist, and we would need to find a bassist.

We plan on doing lots of Beatles, all three of us are die hard Beatles fans. And we might not need a bassist for that. (no offense to Paul)

Well, I'm in a high-school "band" with my best-best-friends, does that count? We haven't written any song yet, but we can create cool metal riffs and jam every now and then. I'm the 2nd guitarist, and I play drums occasionally. JoelC151 is the official drummer. Since I've bought my double bass pedal, there's a LOT of songs we can play (Laid To Rest, for example), but we still haven't finished a whole song, lol.

We're also working on a Metal medley for a local contest, we'll see how it comes out once it's completed.

I'm in a band with 3 friends since about a year back. We all kinda play everything but in the "official lineup" I'm the drummer. When we get together we mostly play covers, but we do have our own songs too. We have been playing mostly for fun but we've been getting more serious since we realized that people actually thought we were good

We've had quite a few gigs in the last few months, but nothing big. At some schools, company parties and actually a wedding

We haven't gotten around to recording any of our songs yet due to lack of equipment but it's coming.

I don't really know how to describe our style but some major influences are Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, GnR... i guess

But a big influence for me personally is Carter Beauford, the drummer of Dave Matthews Band. Also I think having a chick on vocals puts a unique touch to the music since not alot of bands who play that kind of music have female singers.

When we get around to recording, wich should be very soon, and create a MySpace page I'll post it here if I remember.

EDIT: Undead, you better post that Metal Medley on here when it's done

EDIT2: Yeah, we don't have a name yet.

I play drums in an All-cover death metal band. Called. "Raid the Asylum."

We just recently started writing original material....(mainly melodeathesque stuff.)

But because everyone in the band prefers different kinds of metal, it'll add some pretty nice variety to our song writing.

My brother plays bass
A weird Indian kid named Akbar plays guitar and he is insanely fast •_•
And I my bro does vocals as well.

We are really unknown...but we do ocassionally get gigs at small places.....like....parties....and stuff

we want to be in a band, my friend and I do, though we cant find a bassist and singer. Though when we do play we usually play grunge-like stuff. we are were going by the name conspiracy, but it might already be taken, so we went with armoured love, until we found it could be meant as condom D:

I hope on forming a band, its just that there are little to no people in this area my age who have a reasonable grasp on music I have in mind. I am most definetly going to form a pop rock band in high school, but I am really looking in forming a Prog metal band and possibly a Tech Death band. I play guitar for the most part, but I really want to work on my clean vocals and growls so I can do vocals to. I right now do metal band names for friends and have several ideas in mind for my own, but like I said, can't find enough members

I am the guitar player in a band called High Anxiety. We are all friends from the North New Jersey Area (really close to New York in our case) and we write music with alternative, metal and some jazzy-type influences perhaps.

Here's the myspace page, the recordings are all pretty sloppy and we need to get more of our songs up there but there you go.

Some of my friends and I are looking to form a band. We have a pretty great drummer, and perhaps a singer, but my guitar skills are limited to self-taught improvising for about a year, and the guy we want as a bassist can not be convinced to get a bass (trust me, this kid will be John Myung one year after he gets the thing). Another issue will be style... our drummer is a traditional metalhead whereas I'm more progressive, out singer is a punk fan, and our bassist likes indie and techno almost exclusively. Hopefully those influences will merge successfully?

Well unless each of your views is radically different, I'm sure that each of you liking/being influenced by different genres will get the creative juices flowing and can most likely make some pretty damn good songs

I am in a band, there is 3 of us. But none of us are confident enough to sing so we dont have a singer yet. We go through different genres, like we all choose say one indie song, then onece we have done them really good we choose other songs from another genre. We are quite lucky, because at school they have really good recording equipment so we can record our stuff.

We may even start doing our own stuff to!
