worse bands and singers ever!

Most of those acts are kids, and obviously are beginners.
Like we were all awesome, tight and polished the first year we picked up an instrument.:rollno:

Picking on some beginner kids is sorta like kicking a puppy. But some puppies grow up to be pit bulls.

But if critiqing some beginner junior high kids makes you feel better about your playing, go right ahead.

My thoughts exactly. These are kids. At least they are up there trying... that takes guts.

Do you mock preschoolers' crayon drawings because they aren't as good as what you might find in the Guggenheim?

Well put, sir.

Honestly if there were any clips of my first band on youtube I would move to some fourth world country(third world would be too good for me) and live in a cave as an indigent.
 
OMG, this video almost got me fired. The big boss was in here talking about some heavy stuff, and I burst out laughing like a freakin' hyena after hearing this video.

Fortunately, the big boss & I are pretty tight, so I'm off the hook for now!



This is my all-time fav.



I'll test my constitution by seeing how long I can watch. I make it to about 1min.
 
Why, bless their hearts! :hiding:

(The C&W clip kinda reminded me of gamelan music, at first...)

My thought exactly! I sent it to my friend (also msucian) and he agreed. Deary me...

Being kinda close to the age of most of these guys (a bit older praps) I can say two things:
1) Great for trying, good on you guys!
2) Practice. Bar the 'kit falling apart my first gig was a touch different to those...
 
again, if anybody in any of these are members of TB sorry! If you didn't want to be picked on, ya'll shouldn't of put on YouTube, right?? ok a couple may be kids, but my poor ears!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but since you have "Gigs, Bands, & Ensembles: none yet but jammed with the Savannah River Boys a few times"posted in your profile, maybe you might give other beginners a break from your poor attitude and criticism. I suggest you stop ragging on others to make yourself feel better. IMO/IME, put your energy into your own projects and stop creating drama where none need be created. :atoz:

One of your 2009 posts came up when I was looking for something else:

"me! I have had a piano around since I was about 7. Took one month of lessons, and quit. I picked it back up in high school, taught myself and played by ear. I did know how to read some sheet music tho (unlike the bass, where I don't have a clue and don't know all the notes on the fret board-shhhh! I play by ear on bass..learning slowly tho).

Like nutso42, I too had a hard time learning the left hand (bass clef). I got like three keyboards (all Casio) and a piano. Thinking of selling my piano tho, for I am probably gonna move and the thought of paying someone to move it...eh. Plus the room it takes. IDK tho my boyfriend likes to play on it every time he comes over.
I suggest "Do unto others...."
