pissed the fuck off right now.It is so hard to find band members. GOOD ones at least. All I find are fucking close minded fucking retards. Fuck. I need some other strategy.
You found close minded fucking retards? Lucky bastard.
I can't find anyone outside of my immediate circle of friends. Which yields my buddy who plays bass and guitar, with whom I work extremely well musically. But that's not a fucking band.
This is why I want metal to be more popular, even if it means sellouts.

yeah thats lame. See thats the other thing. Im not even writing metal anymore. My current stuff is a synthesis of Genesis, Floyd, Tears for Fears, Electronica, Trip Hop, and some other things.It is in no way metal. But still its hard.

There's metal people where I live... unless of course you talk about something that isn't Pantera, Metallica, Lamb of God, or DragonForce...then you'll confuse them for life. We've never really had a permanent bass player..

I know how you feel. I'm lucky I found Todd (a fellow grindcore fiend from nearby in Salem, Ohio). We use a drum machine for now, now onto the difficult task of finding a drummer which I'm sure will take millions of light years to do.

My girlfriend bought me the second season of Rome for our anniversary, so now I own the whole thing. It was such a fucking good series. The first season is possibly one of the best written that HBO has ever done.

i got lucky and happened to knew the right people. i also found that a big advantage for me was starting a band with guys that were much older than me. when athropos first formed, i was 15, my guitarist was 20, and my drummer was 23

Started snowing during rugby practice today. So cold! But it wasn't enough to cover the ground, thank goodness. I don't think I have ever felt so nasty after practice before. I have the worst cold on the face of the earth, I feel like death. Anywho, I was recently asked to join a band as lead singer. So stoked!

You should all RSVP to my facebook event, and I think this is the appropriate thread to post it in.

Where I live black metal is growing in trendy fashion amongst metalheads. If you're in a black metal band, play at a bar and everyone will love you, guaranteed. If you're horrible, even better!

I guess I could consider myself lucky since between my brother (guitar), my two best friends (bass and keyboard) and me (drums) we have everything we need for a band. The main issue is that none of us are very good, and because of distance we don't practice that often. That should change once I'm out of Richmond this summer though.

Finding people who want to play the same music is harder than finding the people who play the instruments.

That's true. When I move back up north I want to start a doom metal band. Despite the fact that I'm in Tampa, and there's no shortage of metalheads here, none of them that I know really like doom metal.

I've been to Barnes and Noble twice in the past week because they told me that R. Scott Bakker's new book would be in. First I called, and they told me I could get it on the fifth, but when I went in I was told "It's in the warehouse, but we don't have copies on the shelf yet. Come back on the tenth." So I go back on the tenth, and I'm told "Ummm, I don't know why they would tell you that. We have some copies on order, but we don't know when they're coming in. The publishing release date isn't until the nineteenth." Fucking idiots. I gave them my name and told them to call me and send me an email when the book arrives. It was frustrating.
