I am writing up some scripts and I need someone to compose some short songs for them .
I kind of have some idea and I have already picked some songs in different languages and making them into english
but I rather use YOUR songs.
let me know if you are interested.
Here is how it works, we will sit down together and kind of go through the scripts, then picked up the songs that we agree on.
1. For those songs that I have chosen, I just needed you to write down the notes for me
2. For the ones that you are going to compose yourself , I pay $10/ song and most likely I will need a bunch of them.
please let me know if you are interested and want to play around with music. i guess its fun

Not CL but definitely Dumb ad material Rogue and Homemade Amp

Am I the only one that's super annoyed by people typing the way they would text?
I don't even send text messages like this!
This just makes the guy look like an idiot.
Great - this guy's about an hour away from here, and am I the only one who thinks that the speakers in the amp look like car subs?
OK, my turn to contribute, maybe not the funniest thing I've seen there, but:

We are a five piece progressive-metal band, for lack of a better description, and are in immediate need a guitar strap adjuster. Experience not required, age is not important but please be at least 21 since we play a lot of bars and house parties where alcohol is served. The willingness to learn and the ability to be a team player is definitely required though!! Our guitarist plays many different guitars, almost one for each song, but only has one strap, so we will need you to adjust his strap accordingly. This is a non-paying position to start, and once you prove your abilities we will give you a cut of the profits, we practice twice a week and play twice a week, and due to our guitarists demand for perfection you must be at all practices as well as all our gigs. Please reply soon, to this ad here, as we are already setting up auditions for this position!!
And the inevitable reply:
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE !!!! If your guitar player can afford so many guitars, he can afford to buy more straps. I have an idea, why don't the rest of the band members all chip in for straps. Rediculous !!!

Have played many different styles of music for over 20 years . If you want a GOOD bass player or drummer read this or you will get the "sucky" ones.
YOU MIGHT DESERVE A GOOD BASS PLAYER OR DRUMMER IF:
1. You have solid recordings of your material.
2. You don't play up stupid music like Death Metal, Bashing, or Crunch material. We have too much class for that sillyness.
3. You don't push "original" too hard. Most of us want goals and gigs and craftsmanship. We could care less about some stupid original songs that will never get anywhere.
4. You understand why a bassist or drummer is good!!! Because we think about TIME - DUH!! To get in the "pocket" is a fundamental skill that works thru every aspect of our lives. We don't care that you THINK you are the next "Pink Floyd". We care that you rock and that you know how to hold an audience -----period.
5. You understand that an audience comes first. Not your selfish agenda for fame.
6. You get that vocal strength is the TOP priority. Not your "buzzsaw" guitar playing.
If you learn from this CL ad and you get my points you can have a good band. If these points anger you then good luck buddy your band will suck.

3 string bassist seeks band
----------------------
I know all the cool musicians use odd numbers of strings on their instruments and I don't want to be a exception. I had no idea what to use the top string for so I took it off. It kept getting in the way, anyway.
I would like to hook up with a Meg White style drummer and maybe a guitarist too. Influenced my The Ramones, The Shaggs and Dead Milkmen
I like to play songs in 2/4 time with the minimum number of notes I can get away with. We can call it Special Ed Math Rock. Math is easier when you don't have to deal with a bunch of big numbers.

Are you looking for a "unique" addition to your band?
