Drummer
I currently live in Kraków and want to play in a band

I don't tolerate disco polo, hip hop, hate wedding music, vomit when thinking of pop, hate jazz dicks who think they can play the best but no one listens to them. I will never play funk, traditional dance folk, classical music (even modernized), or what you can see on MTV or the music festival on Opole, so if you plan to call me, and your band fits any of the above in the slightest, then save me and yourself some nerves and don't call.

What else...

I have gear, but not in Kraków, I can bring it here, but only once it makes sense - for now I'd rather rent a rehearsal space with equipment. I can play after 5PM weekdays, 2PM weekends.

Oh!

Calling after 10 PM you are automatically added to the list people I'll never work with.

And that's all.
I thought it was a joke, but then I realized he didn't say he hates metal...
 
I am selling the baddest set of speekers you've ever seen that were custom built by a professional audio bunch of guys right here in Kennesaw..... These puppies will blow your face Slap off..... I had them rigged up to this dadgum HUGE amplifier that I got from this guy , but it was just too dang loud, and these bad boys done got me kicked out of my apartment......Dang !!! ..... But this is how I roll ..dog .... I moved in with my girlfriend and ain't paying a penny ! Back to the speekers ... Don't let the size fool you..... I mean these Sub-Ultra- Fi-Sonic Big Daddys will make your ears bleed like a stuck pig !!!!...... I usually play Hardcore Rap music through them, but they sound just as good on Country music or even Childerns songs as well as Classical tunes .........On a scale from 1-10, I would have to say they are probably an 11 or maybe a 12 !!! .. They crank so loud it is unreal .....I'm pretty sure you can hear them for a mile or maybe 2 miles away ... not sure..... But I can promise you this BROTHER !!! .....They will have your house shaking like Michael J. Fox !!!! -- No Lie .....---- Possibly the loudest speekers ever built EVER in the World .... ..... If they were any louder, they would be illegal ......I can meet you or you can come buy and give them a listen. ....I would like cash but would consider trade for a Giant Chainsaw or a Monster Go-Cart of sorts ...... Call Rudy (ROCKSTAR) at 678-445-0090 YO !!!!! Hurry ! Don't miss out on these... They are Frickin" Nuts !!!!!

Original Post: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

"I'm a LEAD Guitar Player, I live In Des Moines (I got stuck here years ago and have never found a way out). I would Prefer playing in a band in which I was the only guitar player, which is what I've done in the past in every band I've ever been in for the most part. I have No problem with a lead singer playing some second guitar as needed etc. I also have no problem with working with a second guitarist, I am Not saying that I would just flat out Refuse to do so, that is Not the case. I don't mind sharing the lead work, however I prefer to be the one doing the major part of it. I have played for numerous years, I feel and I know I can be a major asset to a working band or one in the midst of creation.

I like hard classic rock, some metal, and even some older flavorful stuff that isn't that heavy or hard. As well, I love a lot of current music. Good GOD there is SO much out there to choose from and there is a whole lotta great stuff goin on that I'd love to replicate. By the way, I pick stuff up with ease for the most part, I play things like Deep Purple, Rush, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cult, Led Zepplin, The Who, Tool, Creed, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, I think you get the idea. I am also wide open to anything that is worth a crap. I like stuff that is a challenge just as long as it isn't totally out of my reach. There isn't a whole lot of stuff out there that is out of my reach, but I do have a few limitations I will be the first to admit. Please just don't ask me to play Country, or even country rock-- it is just Not my thing.

I can Improvise like Nobody's business. I am Very open to doing original music. I also have a decent digital recorder.

I have a practice space, a small PA system (quality stuff and plenty loud for practice-- wouldn't take much to be able to play live with it), a set of pretty nice drums with Quality Zildjian cymbals (No ZBT junk) , some nice keyboard equipment (including a recently re-vamped '50's Leslie speaker! and a Hammond M-3, also a nice Yamaha Portable Grand Piano). I have only quality Guitar equipment, about 8 electric guitars, one acoustic (even though I have no idea how to use it as I am a big electric player and have never gotten in touch with acoustic guitars), two very nice tube guitar amps, plenty of speaker cabinets and lots of effects etc.

Please get a hold of me if this sounds of interest. I am not leaving a phone number at this point in this ad in order to hopefully keep the "tire kickers" at bay.

Thank you for your time

I don't have a big ego, and consider myself pretty easy to get along with in the majority of situations. I have plenty of talent and won't waste anyone's time if that Is what you are seeking. At the same time, I refuse to play with a bunch of amatures, that will not happen. "

Ten times better than this guy - [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I'm not trying to be cocky, but i played in a BAnd, and this dbag ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed] ) was the backup guitarist and i didn't trust him to TUNE MY GUItar let alone play backup. ...

I have no time for anyone that hasn't played in a band for at LEAst 10 years. Seriously people, don't even piss me off by replying cause i am the greatest, most bad ass person that has ever picked up the guitar, and i will not mess around with dbags that suck!!

Don't respond if you meet the following:
1. YOu suck at whatever you play
2. You play on sucky, stupid gear. Only good gear sounds good enough to not piss me off with it's suckiness...
3. You are a stupid guitarist - don't bother, no one is greater than me. Even this guy
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
4. You are a woman. i only like boys. Girls stink

I pissed myself on that last one!!! :D:D:D:D:D:bassist::bassist::bassist:
 
Wow that guy is amazing, really.
Of course he is...he can Improvise like Nobody's business*, along with Not saying that [he] would just flat out Refuse to not work with another member of his band (world's most convoluted double-negative?), and I'd bet that after a month or so, he'd begin referring to it as 'his' band...



O/T - there's a good band name - Nobody's Business

And:

I am not serious.

I drink and smoke dope.

I am a slow learner, especially after the drinking and smoking.

I am self taught.

I can’t read a note but I am good at looking at the pictures.

I don’t want any women in the band unless they are roadies – and they must be quiet.

I have an ego the size of the debt the Olympics will end up costing us.

I have pro gear but I won’t be using it.

We will play what I want to play.

I dislike dance music and people who like to dance.

I have a car but I will expect you to pick me up.

I don’t care if you have original songs, we will only be playing mine.

We will rehearse on my schedule only.


If this sounds good to you then drop me a line. Maybe I will respond, maybe I won’t.
