I am in two bands.
Is one of BigSwede's band more talented than the other?
Yea or Nay
i never was in a real band although there were a couple times in high school a few of us would try to start one but we were always short a member or two. for a small town there was a pretty good music scene but a very limited amount of kids who would or could be in a metal band..most were into punk rock or classic rock.
in high school i was more of a punk drummer with some alternative flares. then this one band wanted me in and gave me a bunch of metallica cds for me to learn.
when i put them on i was thinking.. you gotta be fucking kidding me. it was the first time i actually heard them and was wondering why the hell they thought i could just learn metal drumming. i didnt even have a double bass pedal.
fuck those guys.
yup, me and my best friend were metalheads i played guitar and he played bass mostly or 2nd guitar and we had a friend who could do vocals but it was always tough finding a drummer. we found one kid but he ended up annoying us and just wanted to play whiny emo crap. the only real legit drummer who was into metal around our school was almost always in two or three bands it seemed like.
I'm the drummer in an all-original metal/heavy rock outfit. We've got a full length studio album, a video in production, and a few live videos online. We've got another 7ish new songs in various stages of completion, and we're planning to start recording again next winter when the rest are written and polished. Our following is still small in our region, but we're gradually building an audience, and landing bigger shows. We'd be working harder if we didn't have the obstruction of day jobs (but at least we can eat *and* pay for good equipment *and* fund our own projects... so dammit, I guess it's worth it).
PM me if you're genuinely interested in more info. I'm wary of outing myself on a porn forum, so I won't link anything publicly on the board. (Despite metal and porn sharing a long and lusty history, there's still enough stigma attached which I'd rather not have in my personal life).
I've been in one when I was 14, it was a Pearl Jam cover band.
