I thought it was flashing neon lights and sirens going of ironically hilarious ... maybe not as obviously funny as I thought,

Whippersnapper wants to play his granny's music and complains about 'oldies' .... no?

Try the fish.

Have you looked at NYC Craigslist? This is pretty much all you see.

Oh, it's a freakin horror!!!

Having set up a rehearsal/audition for a day she could attend (today), the first potential singer pulled out with less than a day's notice. Two to come on Saturday and they have confirmed they will be there. The joys of being bandleader/music director.

The right person will come along. But you do have a daunting task.

Wow, you're fortunate she even let you know.

 

[Count Bassie]

I swear I feel like the only one who's perfectly happy with the stock TB+ in my 2013.

You're not, at least so far!

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Yeah, it's very common.

I like the 5th comment from "Doublestop"..

Now what's JPJ playing through? Is it those double stack of Marshall's behind him?
Or something else? can't really tell.

Those Marshall's are Lenny's I think...hard to tell what those big fridges to left behind Jonesy are..

Yup. I'm possibly dealing with this right this second. I love playing music so much, but most people who play are complete flakes and terrible people. At least I take comfort in knowing that with that attitude they'll likely get nowhere with it.

Reminds me of a discussion I had with a friend. You hear bands and sometimes think, "My band is better than that," or, "I'm a better bassist than that guy," etc. but you know what? That crappy band (subjective, of course) showed up and put in the time. Who's laughing now?

 

[godofthunder59]

Does it make it hard that it's not metric sizing?


Yeah, but a really angry jazz bass.

The only bass I ever smashed was a Jazz so there's that.

Yeah, drummer was saying she's had so many traumatic band experiences ... until Crimson Sparkle. No egos, no drama, no bollox.

I can think of any number of red flags. One being under 30; kids don't understand good music. Just want to play Brittney Gaga, Lady Swift, Katy Spears, and that annoying Canadian superhero Justice Beaver.

Sounds like me. Then when you find a band like this, you're just waiting for it to explode. It can't really be that good.

Did you at least do it on stage?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

How do I like this more?

Awesome!

 

[GonePlaid]

I guess i can understand it to a point. The oldies may be very qualified at it, but may not look the part?

KISS??

 

[JJR58]

KISS??

They're laughing all the way to the bank.
