[Theriseandfall21]

@alpunkbrewster I play guitar and sing but I actually got 2 bands going on.

[alpunkbrewster]

@Theriseandfall21 what are you doing here there is no reason to be here you got 2bands uhm how long did it take u to become good at singing!...

[Theriseandfall21]

@alpunkbrewster The comment that I had up there was posted a long time ago when I was looking for people to join and since it was one of the top or linked comments, somehow I can't delete it. Also to be honest I have no idea how I got good at singing I just started singing when I was 11 or 12 years old and pretty much taught myself and practiced.

[alpunkbrewster]

@Theriseandfall21 How old are you now?..

[Theriseandfall21]

@alpunkbrewster I'm 18 right now.

[41224jason]

advertising for bandmates is like advertising for a date. it just doesn't work as choosing someone you know and are comfortable with.

[MaskedVocalist]

But you can met new people

And you can get along

[41224jason]

yes, this is true. i'm not saying it's impossible, just not a very effective way if you ask me. at least if you're looking for starting a long-term band from scratch. maybe for member replacement would be a better use for advertisement sites

[MaskedVocalist]

Cool! On my other account, Shamusrocco, we have techno garbage videos with no creativity, so, I stopped working with that account and will either a: make a new band account, or b: use this one for my videos. I have the band set, my friend as the singer (thank goodness I wasn't chosen to be it), I play guitar, and my other friend plays drums. But, school is going to start in like 1 week, AND WE HAVEN'T PLAYED ANYTHING!!!!! WE HAVE NOT EVEN VISITED EACH OTHER'S HOUSES TO PLAY A SONG! Very helpful.

[tgb126]
