The guitar player improvs constantly which means I spend most of my time on stage stressing out and trying to figure out what he's doing. I've heard them play before I was in the band though, and the stuff he pulls out almost always sounds great.
My two other bands are celtic folk/punk... and yes I'd listen to them if I felt like listening to that genre of music at the time.
Other bands I've been in in the past, there's no way I would've wanted to listen to some of them if I wasn't on stage with them. |

The band that I'm in now plays mostly '70s soul -- a lot of the stuff that my big sisters were into when we were kids (while I was wasting my time with dumbass rock bands like Styx). So it's been a real pleasure for me to go back and rediscover all that stuff.

ps. if you are in a band and you wouldn't listen to your music, then you should find another band. if you don't like the music, how could you expect anyone else too? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Syracuse, NY | | | Good question! I would listen to some of it, probably... I don't know that I'd go out of my way to see us at a show, but if we were playing somewhere I happened to be, anyhow, I wouldn't up and leave. ... It's not bad music... a lot of it just isn't necessarily my kind of thing.

Would I listen to my band if I weren't in it? Probably not. But I do enjoy playing in it - a lot.

I was told the basplayer was leaving the band and they where going to audition for a new. I took a crash course from the old bassplayer went to the audition and joined the band beating six real bassplayers in the prosess. I could only play the 5 songs they had told me to play - and nothing! else. Not even a blues.
To make a long story shot; Yes I would listen to my band. I still think we are the best band in Denmark (IM(ns)HO).
I might ad that I play drums in several coverbands I never would listen to if I didn't play in them

We were cut out of the loop and didn't hear the end result until the day before it was released. Where's that barfing emoticon when you need it?!?!?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: buenos aires, argentina | | | I would too. When I auditioned for the band i'm playing in i had never heard about it, and they gave me a demo tape to listen to and i was instantly blown away by the songs. I'm not a very good bass player, and was even worst when i auditioned, so after the audition i ask the guys in the band to let me know whenever they played live.
Apparently not many bass players auditioned, ans so i got to join the band... and still each song blows my mind.
Good thing about this thread, i took some time to visit some of your band's sites... there are some good things out there!!
