bobbassguy Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I was at home in Hellgin (Elgin o_O) over Christmas, and went to a gig, where my friend's band let me play bass on their final song, because their bassist was off to get wankered. Anyway, it left me with the _thirst_ to get playing live again, and I'm needing musicians to co-write some rocking material with!I'm a bassist of 6 years, with 4 years of band experience, and live experience. I'm mainly influenced by rock and metal like Alice in Chains, Pantera, Metallica and Tool, but I love many other bands too, ranging from DragonForce to the Smashing Pumpkins. I'm fairly versatile and can handle different styles, and am interested to hook up with like-minded musicians.The plan is to have a fully original set. Maybe one or two covers, but I'd prefer to keep that minimal, as my last band was heavily cover-oriented, and though it was very fun playing covers, it begins to get repetitive, and not creatively-rewarding! For me, personally, at least!If anyone (drummers, guitarists, singers) is interested, don't hesitate to get in contact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
