Music is one of my favorite things. Sadly I'm not talented at it, but I wish. My and my friends had a band last semester. It ended up going no where, but it was fun! We were going for a Christian/Hard Rock metal sound. We figured up some riffs and back ground cords, a few lyrics and had a few jam sessions and it was pretty fun! Sadly, it fell apart. Our lead guitarist told us he couldn't do it anymore because he was moving, come to find out he's not moving and found another band (ouch) and our drummer was too busy (true story).
It's all good though. When we practiced mostly in the basement of my former residence at the "debate house" and my roommates were not to fond of that. Our other option was the drummer's house, but with our wierd scheduals practices were late and his parents liked to go to bed early. So option number three was the practice room at the school. Sadly, there's only one student key and Alex and his sex band were unwilling to share the room. Sooooo it wouldn't have worked anyways. My poor little fender squire is sitting unused in the corner of my room. Honestly I kind of suck anways, so I should focus talent elsewhere.
I wish I were better, but keeping rhythm and timing are my pitfalls. Our drummer never really drummed with us, he just worked on guitar stuff with us because the drums were too difficult to move, maybe that would've made a difference. Oh well, no time to waste on has beens or regrets.
The reason I'm talking about it is because my favorite song "What have you done" by Within Temptation is stuck in my head. That's kind of the sound I envisioned for our band. It's got a little mix of different genres, though mostly rock metal, but with understandable lyrics. Listen to them they are amazing!

I had a band once, too! I played piano(very poorly, I wish I would have kept with piano lessons as a kid) and made sound effects, while a friend of mine played piano sometimes(very well, she's a piano major at KU!) and sang. Sadly, our band met the same fate as yours, for we fell apart due to no place to play, and no time to spend. Such is life I suppose. :D
ReplyDeleteAww, that sucks. I tried doing the band thing when I was about 14, but I didn't have the patience to try and learn the guitar and my parents were not about to let me get a drum set, ha. And I'm sure trying to do band practice at a debate house would be difficult enough; they need concentration and you need music. Sorry it didn't work out for you!
