  1. That sounds fine.

    Was at AC/DC last night at Hampden, best gig i've ever been at! Would like the chance to cover one of their songs.

    Let me know when we can get a group of us together for a jam, see how goes.

    How much songs do you think we'd need to play before we get out gigging?

  2. H all,

    I was a guitarist for my band in Peterhead called "The Sounz" but we only ever did a few gigs. The singer left due to other non music commitments, the drummer and I like very different styles of music (he likes pop and I like rock) and the bass player is unavailable a lot of the time. I'm desperate to get out playing every week and playing the style of music I want to play.

    Would be looking to start or join a rock band like. I have about 8 songs ready to give a band and another 4 or so in the pipeline. My favourite artists include AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Dream Theater, Europe, Gary Moore, Guns N Roses, Kiss, Oasis, Queen, Rainbow, Roxette, Stone Roses, Survivor, Velvet Revolver etc.

    My favourite styles of music are Rock Ballads, Hard Rock & Blues.

    I'm pretty commited, I've only been playing 3 years, started getting into lead a bit now. I'm 21 years old. I'd be willing to travel into Aberdeen for practices etc.

    Let me know if any of you's are interested.

  3. Do you have any other band mates?

    I have a drummer and bass player from Peterhead, but I think I need to break away from them. We lost our singer to other non music commitments, drummer and I like very different styles of music (he likes pop and I like hard rock) and the bass player is unavailable a lot of the time.

    Would be looking to start a rock band like. I have about 8 songs ready to go and another 4 or so in the pipeline. Would be up for some covers as long as it was AC/DC, Europe, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses, all that type of stuff, but stuff like Kate Perry an Lady Gaga is just unacceptable.

    I'm pretty commited, I've only been playing 3 years, started getting into lead a bit now. I'm 21 years old.

  4. Hi all,

    I have this Rock Ballad I wrote and it's almost finished, except I need a good vocalist. I did have someone but think he's too busy with other things.

    This song is influenced by the following:

    Calling Wherever you will go

    Michael Bolton How Am I supposed to live

    Shania Twain Youre still the one

    Aerosmith Dont Wanna Miss A thing

    Bryan Adams Everything I do

    Dream Theater Spirit Carries On/Through Her Eyes

    Dragon Force Trail of Broken Hearts

    Bon Jovi Never Say Goodbye/Bed of Roses/Always

    Europe Carrie/ Coast to Coast

    It's a bit vague but it's the best I can do until someone expresses an interest.

    We are from Peterhead and we're still unsure what to call our side project. We are between 18-22 years old.

    We're kind of doing these recordings as a side project. So not looking for commitment just looking for someone to put good vocals to what we think are good songs. So someone who could sing a variety of styles would be good so we could get a "familiar" sound for our recordings. Would have to be a male though I'm afraid.

    Thanks.

    I can get into more detail if someone shows an interest.

  5. Hi everyone

    After being very unhappy with the quality of recording Captain Tom's produces my band have decided to invest in some home recording gear. We've bought a computer hi spec specifically for recording and have Aardvark pro q10 and Cubase (i forget which version).

    How difficult is it to attain good quality home recordings and is mixing etc hard to do?

    Just any other tips would be welcome too.

    Cheers.

    Shmikes.

  6. I'd be interested in joining a band with you. I am a huge fan of Dream Theatre and like the other bands you mentioned too. Where are you based?

    Been to see Dream Theater twice like. Newcastle and Glasgow both 2007. Our last guitarist introduced me to them, he could play a lot of their songs.

    We're based in Peterhead if you're interested.

  7. We have a bass player and singer (who also plays keyboard).

    We have some covers lined up (Bet you look good on dancefloor, mr brightside, wonderwall etc).

    I've written a couple of songs too, looking to get working on them as a band as soon as possible.

    Not had the best of luck with drummers...

  8. I'd be interested. My band Nu Era are seeking a drummer and lead guitarist.

    We have one song to date (hope you're a Dons fan) Nu Era <nuera2008>

    We're based in the Bloo Toon! I have a couple new tunes writeen (not footie ones, don't worry), I'm very varied in styles, don't want to get caught up in genres. Want to try a bit of everything, blues, heavy, indie etc. Will be a rock band but you get my idea.

    Our influences include AC/DC, Oasis, Stone Roses, Foo Fighters, Muse etc. I like a lot of varied music.

    Our lead guitarist (who also provided drums for our only song to date) has had to quit because of other commitments. He was heavily influenced by Dream Theater and Pink Floyd (Petrucci is his idol).

    Do you have the time to practice etc? How old are you? We're 20-21 years of age.

    Let me know if you're interested and if you have any questions please ask

  10. Sounds promising like. Last guitarist was influenced by Gary Moore as well. I can play "walking by myself" (rhythm) and I love "partisienne walkways" and "out in the field".

    I've been leaving room in my songs I've been writing for solos and stuff.

    When do you want to sort a jam for? Singer will be back from holiday today or tomorrow so I can try and get everyone together next week sometime?
