Quit
No but really if you never been in a band, getting it going today or in these days trying to get such a thing going sucks. I am starting up a band again, with a old old one more time old drummer I use to play with in like 88-92 some where in that time period. He had to be about the best drummer I ever played with, and this last and our first practice he's still got it even thou he hadn't played since 99 or something like that. And he's using my 70's model Ludwig set. I wouldn't say our first practice went off to great I think all of us are rusty. Imagine that. The bass player I don't know if its his playing but I can't stay in time with him. I never thought he was that great any ways. This is sucking trying to get a band going, My heart is not into it, there's so much other people involved and the drama that add's to things. I want to quit
My advise is cut that hair, get a really good education. Become a lawyer and sit back and watch that money come rollin in.
For about the last 5 years I have been trying to get playing with people, the first band we had everybody, singer ,drummer, bass player ( same one I am still playing with ), me and another guitar player. And the one and only thing that held us up was the drummer he sucked sooooooooooooo did I say that enough sooooooooooo bad, he wouldn't learn the songs. I think Ringo was a better drummer than that guy. Even animal off the Muppets,lol, okay okay got out of control alittle bit. Than after that me and the same bass player started playing with this kid and this time the bass player was in his Madonna stage. And he thought he was it, He sucked. Freakin Pre Madonna's. Now this time we'll see what will happen. I don't think the bass player know's what he's in for he better get good and good quick, cause me and the drummer were going to get tight like we've always done in the past. And thats one thing I am thinking is going to happen is the bass player is not going to be good enough to hang with us and the music were going to be playing. You name a drummer that you think is the best in the world, I can tell you the drummer I am playing with can hang with the best. And this dude seem's so wired up more these day's than when I was playing with him the last time. He is like a machine and thats going to step up my ball game. And one of the reasons I don't want to quit. Me and him could hold it together. And to get good on playing the guitar is getting in a band.
But it comes down to this cause with whats been going on since I've tried to get this thing going, I know its not going to work, I am content with that. How long will it last I don't know but I know this set up is not going to last. You don't get into something that you don't know how the hand's going to be dealt. Cause these day's you play what you write in orginal bands. You do the same thing for alittle bit, people are influenced by other people wanting them in there band, they start missing jam practices. It just become this big family out of control ordeal. And bam its over.
This drummer he was telling about the 4 or 5 bands he was in at the time he was in one band. people trading people. Its out of control, to say even if your in a band these day, Its not how long it will last its okay when is it going to end today or tomorrow or maybe its already over before it even really begun.
Its better going solo. Doing like Bob Dylan and going from there. Cause this is sucking.
