[Zelcibot]

one day their making a video that shows how to take a crap and flush it out.

[SuperTruth77]

My 16YO son is starting a band- I’ve heard them rehearsing & they sound amazing!

However, I was disgusted to learn they are calling themselves ‘MURDERBAND’ & all wearing facemasks of Peter Sutcliffe, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ian Huntley, John Wayne Gacy, Fred West & others. Worse- he’s going to offer free tickets to victims’ families as a PR stunt.

He reckons it will all be a popular gimmick, but I’m trying to persuade him it would be a tasteless, horrible mistake…

[TFoneFiddy]

@SuperTruth77 Thats an alright gimick but its already been done tell him if he wants to be a douch bag follower to persue this but it he wants to stand out to re think his gimick cause it has been done alot of times already

[Supermanforrent]

@SuperTruth77 Pretty sick minded, but thats another art form, of expressing themselves.

[Allmektighet]

@SuperTruth77 Eh, what kind of music is he playing?

[MrDaveeness]

@SuperTruth77 LMAO. Not that I needed to tell you this but your son has no life.

[TheColts99]

Great Advice!

[nudynudy2020]

what is the point of sittin in a chair with a guitar he doesnt even playing it

[frinchboy]

the only thing i got from this is that its the other band members fault.....

[theEcrave]

i think you got the name wrong. it should be "How to get along with your band"

[noxinferius]

What the fuck are these videos???? damn, i swear , there must be one where they teach u how to breath and walk

[MPFlyingV]

You need to name your band something cool like "FeeFee Tatoo"

[J3T52]

Hey people im trying to start a band but i need a bass,Lead and drummer.So send me a video on you playing drums or guitar and ill pick two guitar one lead and one bass and a drummer so plzzzz people send me some videos this means alot to me

[sparky7718]

[TheMetalHead33]

If you live in the lennox california region and like metal/heavy metal and are between the ages 13-16 and want to start a band here i am. or if you play bass or drums or lead guitar please leave a comment on my channel with your email and i'll email.

[joshua97ify]

im starting an alternative band lol

[sunburst909]

If your a band playing gigs and stuff. when do you start playing your original music. My band does covers but we also make our own music. should we just mix them into our setlist?

[OriginalityImpaired]

@sunburst909

Yeah, as long as the whole thing flows nicely and doesn't clash

[NguyenVanThock2185]

@sunburst909 No, no, the best thing to do with your original music is to hold onto it., then gently shove it up your ass. Then when you do your covers, stop, and go home. Just stop. If you're asking that question on a youtube comment page, then you are absolutely hopeless and i'm sure you suck. GTFO.

[LetDavidTV]

dude you make starting a band gay

[Drummergenetic]

"Adventuress"??? Who subtitled this??

[profchaos33]

fist-pumping asshole at 1:20 makes me raff :P

[thedailypravdavideos]

Actually, this video should be titled, "how to make thousands of dollars sitting around at home with a camcorder." Back in 2007, Expert Village needed content, and paid my friend and me to make videos as "experts." We picked topics from a list and became "experts." In a few months time we shot at least 30 of these idiotic videos, earned enough money to start a real production company, and quit. WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW was that Expert Village was going to re-distribute all the videos on YouTube.

[cossackxxx]

@thedailypravdavideos plz tell me thats not true xd

[thedailypravdavideos]

@cossackxxx Yeah, the real lesson is don't do what we did. These videos were terrible.

[LeatherCladVegan]

Dear youtubers,

Please continue sending me comments explaining how you 'play bass and are not a cock at all', because I am compiling data for my Ph.D thesis, entitled:

"Play Bass And Not A Cock At All: A Statistical Review"

Thanks.

[TheColts99]

Awsome Thankyou For The Tips But I'm Still Having Trouble Writting Songs But Its Getting A Lot Better!

[keiraandor]

@IsThisReall ok thanks alot i am how old do you have to be to start a band. I am fifteen and me a few friends and my little sister started one.

[keiraandor]

hey do all famous singers write their own songs or do other people

[ProggyDrummer]

it depends dude, usually people pay they singer to play their song. If you look at a band like dreamtheater, you will notice that every bandmate writes lyrics for different songs.

[Bigjuice27the1]

[XtReMeTrIpLeX]

@Kunziiiiiiiii

[TheSek78]

this

just go to my channel and add me

as your friend and lets talk

but also you have to live in the monterey bay or the 831

[MaskedVocalist]

True!

I'm a vocalist!

Haha

I need a band!

[MrFlight180]

I started a band. I'm on vocals n guitar, mii freind on bass guitar n back-up vocals, n his brother's on drums.

[LeatherCladVegan]

Bass players are indecisive fence-sitting retards... they usually have afros or wacky hats or some shit - this is because they know they are inferior to the guitarist, so they try to make it up with character (it never works)

Drummers are a bit like 'Bob' from Fight Club.

Lead guitarists are always self-centred, bucket bong-smoking fuckheads.

Lead singers are the least talented, but they take all the credit. They will stab you in the back at the first opportunity.

That is all :)

[RTSband]

i front my band and i can play piano, drums, and a little guitar. and i try taking the least credit actually because i don't do it for the glory of me. i do it for the man above. i sing and scream too. think before you speak.

That is all :)

[madpaintbalerx]

Drummers always are the quiet, studious, hard workers :) take it form a drummer. Lol.

Its not always true with bassists though. I have found that just getting people who play in a jazz band works. Every person in my band plays jazz at my school.

[41224jason]

this is actually quite true. i'm the only one in my band who has no jazz experience (and believe me, i wish that weren't so).

[apocalipstyck]

Damn right!

[XtReMeTrIpLeX]

@LeatherCladVegan

wtf man u dont know shit about bands if thats what you think

bass guitar has one of the biggest parts in a band along with drums, without vocals you wouldnt be able to do that much cause instrumental bands arent that popular these days mate so you wud be pretty fucked, if you get the right mates in a band then your sorted so your "explanation" doesnt apply to everybody i am a bassist/vocalist in a power trio atm and none of us wud turn on the others u dont know that much dude

[randomkiwi99]

@LeatherCladVegan - funny how i dont have a afro or wacky hat! (oh and apparantly girls cant be bass players either apparantly? Funny how i Missed that speech) :D

[LeatherCladVegan]

@randomkiwi99

It's OK; I will buy you a wacky hat.

[angel1106]

@LeatherCladVegan and thus, a band is made. XD

[andykins118118]

@LeatherCladVegan what about people that play guitar and sing?

[joshua61991]

@LeatherCladVegan This is why your not in a sucessful band.

[jimbo222000]

@LeatherCladVegan lol, seems like u know everything, I'm a lead guitarist and im not self centred, plus I dont smoke.

[LeatherCladVegan]

@jimbo222000

Thanks for the important info, I am going to change the title of my thesis to:

"Lead Guitarist And Not Self-Centred As A Function of Play Bass And Not A Cock At All - Vectors, Dispersion, And The Utter Inability For Youtubers To Fuck Off".

[blackdemon1987]

@LeatherCladVegan ur wrong bass players are not indecisive fence sitting retards!

[kebbey]

@blackdemon1987 yeah!

[tramwazhere]

@LeatherCladVegan Hey, everyone in my band can play all of the main instruments. We just specialize in one particular. And your observation seems like that of a 15 year old wannabe who wishes they could be in a band; not all bands fit into your little stereotype, most of us are actually normal people like you or your mom and dad or your little friends. I just don't like it when poeple think of good, honest, hard-working musicians to be a bunch of fame-hungry whackos.

[LeatherCladVegan]

@tramwazhere

That's interesting... Hey, you know what I don't like? I don't like when retards can't take a fucking joke. Seriously, get over it. I really don't give half a fuck what you think, because it was a joke.

Oh, wait... You're good, honest, hard-working musicians?? Oh well that changes everything! Let me roll out the red carpet for you!

EVERYBODY STOP! 'Tramwazhere' is a hard-working musician! So you mustn't say anything negative at all, because it will hurt his feelings! SRSLY!

[tramwazhere]

@LeatherCladVegan I'm a girl -.- And the only joke around here is you.

[CommentBuzzer]

@LeatherCladVegan dude your waaay to negative,i mean those are facts(i cant hear the bass in songs,you can only see lead singers in videos ano so on)but no reason to complain....plus you could piss off some people

[bunsenhoneydew111]

@LeatherCladVegan yeah depends on the person

[cybercop112]

@LeatherCladVegan the bass might not be as awesome as the guitar but the bass is the most important member hes the one who keeps the rhythm and timing in a song and i play guitar and bass and im not fence sittin retard or a self centered bucket bong smoking fuckhead

[LeatherCladVegan]

@cybercop112

Yes you are.

[cybercop112]

@LeatherCladVegan well at least i can play i bet you cant even play an instrument

[LeatherCladVegan]

@cybercop112

Do you really wanna bet on that? Heheh

[cybercop112]

@LeatherCladVegan yeah i really wanna bet on that i mean you critisiced every instrument of a rock band then what do u play a crappy wind instrument or a violin or some shit like that

[LeatherCladVegan]

@cybercop112

Ok, let's say $100 USD - I'm happy with that... But how are you going to get the money to me if (when) you lose?

[cybercop112]

@LeatherCladVegan what i dont get it what do you mean get the money to you??

[bernardmmarx]

@cybercop112 He was joking.

[cybercop112]

@bernardmmarx ohh

[camomaker81]

@cybercop112 I'm totally on your side man.

[cybercop112]

@camomaker81 thx man

[camomaker81]

@LeatherCladVegan yeah thanks a lot faggot. I'm the lead guitarist of my band and I'm nothing like that. Mother Fucker

[LeatherCladVegan]

@camomaker81

[Zetaindustries]

[TheMitchellsMusic]

[jederguy98]

[LeatherCladVegan]

@Promession

[pentathlon08]

he is right..we have a band and its exactly like this sometimes...check my profile...thanx

[v00d00rOckEt]

It's true

[thejigsawmurdersyou]

Creatively speaking, an open mind is like an open wound: vunerable to infection.

[Steeldrums906]

But a closed mind is like a clogged artery: often unhealthy.

[thejigsawmurdersyou]

Do you see what happened there? You took my idea and tried to put a differenent spin on it and then passed it back to me. But rather than enhancing my idea it just came across like a weaker copy of it that was altered for the sake of it. Now imagine we were both guitar players and I brought a cool riff to a jam session and you did to my riff what you just did to my comment. Thats why having too many people writing a song rarely ever works. The integrity of the original idea gets compromised.

[xxAirbornSk8rxx]

I play guitar with my friend tangerinesky99MILO (on my friends list) and we need a drummer and bassist. i kicked my drummer out a few years ago... she sucked. we live in PA. message us.

[canadiensfan4evr]

My new band's name is Capitol 13. Watcha guys think?

[KhKstudios]

pretty beast. i came up with a list of possible names for my band in progress. Saints or Sorrow was my top pick but theres already a small band with four songs under that name, so i guess i gotta respect them and find something else.

[canadiensfan4evr]

yeah, S.O.S. is pretty damn awesome. Well, thanks for your advice!

[theXramoneXpistolsXP]

me and my friends hav a band but its annoyin when it comes to doing covers cuz im into punk, the other is into grunge and the other is into classic hard rock, but when we make songs we´re more open minded,

[blazingsonic123]

My band is R.H.K.B round house kick to the balls lol! we are thinking of changing it
