Calling serious musicians tired of the same old same old (Rochester NY)
OK HERE IT IS....I am forming a band that I will be the leader of.
I play rhythm guitar, I am NOT a lead player. I need a drummer, bass player, lead guitar and/or a keyboard, and preferably a female lead singer that can `sing the blues`. I am not a young'in. I am a young 60 year old. I don't really care what your age is. I need stability in your life.
It will be a benevolent dictatorship.
Here's why, most bands that I have been in have no `leader`, everyone works together as a team. Sounds great doesn't it? But after a while nobody agrees, or some say nothing about what they want and leave, or one person `takes over` to the resentment of everyone else, or time goes on and no real progress is made because there is no plan, just a lot of desire `to make it`. Sound familiar?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
In my band, I will make the decisions after hearing all points of view. I will have a working plan to follow to achieve the goals that we as a group decide on. I will keep us on track. I will assign duties to band members that fit their talents, be it music arrangement, marketing, etc. I will have the last word on all disputes.
Here's is what I need from you:
1. A commitment to practice on your own to learn new material and keep fresh on old material.
2. A commitment to making the bands practice sessions on time.
3. A desire to play out and truly entertain.
4. Willingness to accept that the buck stops with me.
5. The understanding that a band is like a marriage, respect, communication, commitment, willingness to compromise are all essential to making it work.
6. Musical ability.
7. Stability in your life.
With all that being said, what I envision is a Classic Rock, R&B. Covers from Petty, Springsteen, Santana, Tedeschi, Beatles, Clapton, Adele, Church, Although versatility in all genre of music is essential to make it marketable to the masses, Oldies, some country rock, some chart stuff. I see us playing some bars, charity events, festivals, especially in the beginning to get us exposure, then morphing into a party band once we get a reputation of sorts.
If you see value in this approach and want to talk further, reply to me and if you like, give your Name and phone # and I'll call you back.

[dubkitty]

I JUST WANT TO HELP FUND RAISE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH TITHING LIKE "ADRA" THAT HELPS NATURAL DISASTER VICTIMS & "CLEFT PALLET ORGANIZATION"

THE HEARTBREAK OF INCONVENIENT SHIPPING

[snipelfritz]

Lol, CL should just have a filter that removes everybody who claims their favorite band is Nirvana.

There's nothing wrong with Nirvana, but if you include that in your CL ad, there's is no doubt you are a shitty musician who has no idea what they are doing.

[GardenoftheDead]

There's this one ad that's been posted like five times in Vegas from some punk rock neckbeard going "STANDARD TUNING ONLY. L2P YOUR FUCKING INSTRUMENT."

[morange]

I AM D30. I'M F2N!

[GardenoftheDead]

But nothing bugs me more than all this,"WE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY WE GON' GO ALL THE WAY," shit.

Like... no you're not. Let's just have fun?

[morange]

Yeah, right? All I need is an asshole to push my nose to the grindstone in my off time, too.

I hope soon it becomes impossible for anyone to get rich making music, because then there won't be so many assholes pretending to be musicians.

[Ghost Hip]

I like that he said dictatorship and then described a democratic voting system afterwards.

[Twangasaurus]

NO POSERS ALLOWED BRASIF AND NO TWIN POLES!
