might start a band...
 

anyone in one? me and a couple friends might start a band, but we havent really written any stuff, kinda working on a song but we mainly just do song that have already been written, like ac/dc or metallica and stuff. if anyone is/has been in a band, did you start out doing other peoples work? should we write our own stuff, i know we will eventually, but did you guys start out doing covers?

rock:

they never work

Start by doing a few covers then try to write your own stuff its pretty hard to write good songs

i was thinking of an original name.. steeltallica or metal zeppelin

jk, but its just for fun, we like playing music. need i remind you that aerosmith was a young garage band.. not anymore

those arn't original

those arn't original[/
lol

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Be a one man show, they are always the best.

those names were jokes, i was kidding

yeah i guess we will only do covers, then when we write our own songs we will work them into our song "list"

thanks for the help guys

call your band the 101st private jacksun snipers

Make Merlin122 your manager.

Well, for starters you should see how you guys are together. Have a few jam sessions and have fun doing it. If you guys are having fun together, perhaps start with songs you know, then try making one of your own. Having a computer is key, makes recording your own tracks and riffs a breeze. Good luck.

Good luck. The great thing about covers is that whoever you're preforming for probably know the song.

actually they werent a garage band. they started playign together at a club not too far from my house. MY aunt used to be their waiter when they came to a certain restruant for breakfast.

omfg? 101st jackson winters?!? 2nd rangers?!?! i love that joke

thanks for the help guys, i have jammed with my friend thats a drummer alot, we have alot of fun, and this other guitarist, but he isnt that good, but its still fun.

i hope your band fails and you all die

I hate people who have to be in a band to play with somebody else. Why don't you just play with them for a while until you get the hang of each other. Then if you write music together call yourself a band.

Good point dont go around calling yourselves a band yet. Also talk to guarnere he was in a band.

I know so many people around my town that are in bands and don't do shit. And they force themselves to play together(and fucking most of them are death metal shit bands). My friends are just getting together and playing, and it's much more fun. We don't know how to play drums but there's a kit at his moms and its fun to cover shit. Play Back in Black all the time. Good shit.

play classical music

these chicks dont even know the name of my band

EDIT

calmdown:


couldnt help that song popping into my head when I read the topic

we arent into shitty death metal, more like aerosmith, led zeppelin, ac/dc

Dude get a tambourine and rock until the night is young.

that is my primary objective

definately cover songs before you write unless you have tried composing before...when covering try to improvise in some areas and change some parts to get the feel of new music...change tempo, dynamics, keys, or even the notes

Dont forget the cowbell.

"I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell" never forget the cowbell

yeah i am gonna change some parts of some songs, like if we did led zeppelin, i am gonna write a rhythm part for is, or like motley crue, maybe write a solo.



my drummer has a cowbell happy:
