My band is odd, we dont really fit in with the stereo types, and when we are playing at parties, we look like a bunch of D&D geeks that got lost and ended up at Guitar Center. But general run down of our band.

Guitarist(Drew)Vox: Really cool, very modest about his playing, pretty good player, and has a habit of twitching on stage and droping down New-Metal style, yet we dont play really play New-Metall all that much, Tall and stocky. Upper tennor voice

Drummer(Jay): Late to practices or doesnt come some times, though we reem his ass when he does so he ends up coming about 3 times on time before slacking off. Very good drummer, when we first tried him out, musically we connected instently. Live he plays shirtless or in a tank top and paints his face(Namely his obsession with KISS). Snarls alot live. Tall and skinny

Keyboards(Dave)Vox: Cool, usually most pessimistic member of the band, most musicall training out of all of us but only now is he breaking out of his classical training and opening his mind to alot of music now, he either makes us musically sound like a goth band or a video game, depending on his sound. Very tall and heavy, Zero personality on stage. Thinks I am the most creative musically in the band, Upper tennor voice

Bass(Ian<-ME!!)Vox: The spazzy one on stage, roaming the stage, getting into the crowd, headbanging, there is a rumor going around that he looks crack headed and eyes zoned, but I dont belive it!!. The only member with any sort of vocal training(School chorus for one year, heh like that matters) The most noticable member, as he is mostly shirtless and has long red hair, and looks androgynous ninety percent of the time (People arent sure if I look like a guy or a chick live, even when I'm shirtless damn it! I'm not bob! I dont have b*tch tits.) Average height, Slim and toned. Sings Bass/baritone(What a coincidence)



Whole band wears glasses(Drummer and I dont live), after and before show, we look like we belong at some D&D/Anime convention hunting down rare figurines.

In my experience it seems to go like this...

Singer: Most popular guy in the band, although usually has emotional problems. Gets more chicks than anyone else in the band, save maybe the guitarist.

Guitarist: Loud, obnoxious, low self-esteem even though he thinks he is the best guitar player in the world. Either tall with really long hair and good looks or short hard dude (usually has the worst attitude).

2nd Guitar Laid back, really doesn't give a $#!% because he is tired of being berated by the lead guitar. Almost always the coolest person in the band.

Bass Player I don't know why everyone considers the bassist a fat druggie. As for me, usually doubles as the bouncer, quiet, small fan base, gets a few chicks, usually at the bar after a gig (not getting plastered, just having a nice casual conversation). Short tempered, but easy to get along with as long as you aren't obnoxious. (almost always has problems with lead guitar)

Drummer always seems to be the druggie. My drummers are either "Dead-heads" and tripping too hard to play the right damn song, or Rastas who are too stoned to care. Don't wear shoes or shirts while playing, never wants to help set up or take down. Always late for practice or the gig, and since practice is normally at his place, his tardiness gets real old real fast.
