One man band time?

[AfroMan Skeeter]

So it's back to college and what better thing to do on the side than play music? Rather, make music.

Now I have a few choices.
1) Have an acoustic band with my one friend who seems to be inconsistent with his singing quality but great with his ability to write lyrics, sing, and play the acoustic at the same time. The drive is 10 miles.
2)Join a progressive band with actual potential which currently has 2 guitarists, me as a bassist, and are open to drummers at the moment. The drive is about 25 miles.
3)Start my own one-man band. I'll do bass, guitar, keyboard, singing, and either do my own drumming or have my friend or brother fill in.

I love the stuff my friends make, and the progressive guitarists are no doubt better than me and I like what they make. The lyricist has been a great close friend and can write powerful works of art. They both have their flaws, or I have mine and don't fit perfectly with them. I have different ideas in my head and while I may not be able to make as good of music in some aspects as them I can write more of what goes on in my head and call it my own.

If I make my own band I will also have to deal with telling them I'm out though, so what do I do?

All three, in moderation of course.

Of course, that's what I've been doing so far and I guess I can continue to do it.

1. Get your acoustic friend to join with your prog friends.

2. Become hugely famous with many platinum records. Or gold. Or something cool like that.

3. Realize that your record label is rippping you off.

4. Three state killing spree.

5. Death Row conversion and book.

6. Legend



I'm just saying.

options 1 and 3 could work at the same time no?
it doesnt seem too hard to do both of those at 1ce

Did that in the past life, still don't feel fulfilled musically. We can't have that now can we?

I'll admit it was quite the experience.

Murder-Worship - I suppose I could do that, what's the worst that can happen? One fails and I'm left with the other option.. sounds decent enough.

Thanks for the replies so far.
