by "band" I'm more so referring to you and three friends with matching emo haircuts who can kind of play some instruments unsuccessfully attempting to create music, rather than the band where people spit into metal things and make noise as a group. I'm also not expecting for anyone to be a member of a professional and respected band that has sold thousands of albums, but if you are, do tell.

anyway, if you have been in a crappy garageband, what was it like? what was your band name? how old were you when you were in it? do you think you actually sounded decent, or were you shit?
and if anyone happens to have any pictures or recordings that they haven't burned yet, feel free to share those.

Yeah, I played guitar in a "garage punk" band a couple years ago (just starting highschool). We were named after a place in Ireland (can't remember the name now that I think of it, started with a "K" I think)

We practiced like twice, then everyone moved away and here I am still playing on my own.

Yeah, they were all my really close friends so I was pretty sad about everyone leaving. I lost all contact and I really wish I could show them how much i've improved over the years and talk about old times.

Geez, I sound like an old man. Anyways, its not for everyone. Not even sure it was right for me, everyone fought over everything lol

I had this experience as a guitarist or drummer in various local bands.
I even had my own boring indie quartet which was very short-lived.
Now I study DAW production by myself and don't want to form a band.

Of course, I'm the lead guitarist of Metallica.

With bad luck, snake eyes, a pair of dice.

I like the idea of being able to perform alone while having just a laptop with controller.
A band would be great, but it's always a compromise and possible unwanted "surprises".

I still remember on April Fools I changed the band's name on the opening card to "Team Satisfaction." Good times.

I kind of jammed out with friends before I moved. I’ve been playing guitar for 8 yrs so I’m MUCH better than before, because only as of recent(maybe a year or two) have I really been practicing hard. It’s fun to play my fav anime themes. Lol they used to say I played like shit, look at me now!
I also did School of Rock this year, does that count =p
