How many cds do you own

Sounds good. I've got an awesome tech/prog drummer in my class at uni (it's funny, we're both metal-heads and I'm doing classical guitar and he's doing classical percussion). We haven't jammed yet, but if it came down to it he's not in a band or anything and is pretty keen... he's the only person my age that I know of, no bass players to be seen though...
 
Haha... well, before I said I'd try out for the band, someone else hypothesised that an airborne virus that only attacks bass players was released in Perth. So far that's probably the best working theory for you guys in SA.

Why the fuck don't people learn bass or drums though lol?.. there's already fucking enough guitarists all over the place... there's an 70% chance there are at least 10 guitarists on this street, to each one drummer in this state. :p

Good being a bassist though, I kinda get choice over what band to join lol... I could easily whore myself between three bands (if I actually had the free time to do so)... but yeah, I'm stoked that I got a good chance of joining this other band... I imagine over in America, the band would have a full line up in three hours, and a platinum EP within a week. :p
Over here, you could try to form a neoclassical superdupermegashred ubertechnical pop-appealing megabrutaldeathmetal acousticballad band that appeals to every genre, and it would never get off the ground (no drummers, vocalists or bassists). :)

Yeah, if you're ever in Perth, or I'm in SA (for some damned reason haha), then we shall jam until a sniper shoots us for shredding the town in half. :p
Since the SX in Perth petition is pwning the Adelaide one, I'd be buying air tickets now if I were you. :p :goggly:
 
I could join this new off topic chat too...

Over here we have atleast several drummers. Only very few bassists though. And vocalists are of course very hard to find. I'm the drummer of my band and we do have a good synth player, a guitarist, a bassist and even a singer although he's not that good :P, so we're doing fine with the line up.
The problem is right now
a) Getting more own songs done
b) Getting own songs to the state where everyone can play them.
c) Getting everyone to the reherseals
 
Yeah, that's what I like about this band I'm gonna join... they have practically a complete lineup (2 guitars, vocalist, violins/keys/backup vocals) minus a drummer... and IMO at least, the vocals sound pretty darn good. If worst comes to worst, then a drum machine can be had. :p
 
Yup, you can also turn a drum machine down in volume, unlike drummers, so you don't have to max your amp till it clips so you can be heard. :p

Also, drum machines are 90% less likely to make a pass at your girlfriend. :p
 
Finding a drummer isnt the issue, finding a good metal drummer is the hard part. Ive been playing with a buch of older guys i met through a mate for the last 4 months. Drummer is awesome, the guitarists are solid at best, not sure how much longer im gonna stick it out. As a proficient bass player, as mentioned before, it shouldnt be hard to find a new band!
 
Meh, you're gonna get kidnapped and taken to a professional training facility, then sold through the slave trade market to an interested band, for whatever their need. So your off the same either way. :p
