HAHAHAHA!!! Oh, man!!! That's hilarious!!!!! I would love to see that. I hate Motley Crue, but I'd love to see women covering some of the most sexist, mysoginstic songs ever made. Iiiiiiironyyyyyy.

yes, that is exactly what we are called, though i usually throw after it "NYC'S best and only all-girl tribute to Motley Crue." here is our myspace shall you want to befriend us:
www.myspace.com/girlsgirlsgirlsnyc

I can already play Piece of Your Action but the rest of the band doesn't know it yet. I'm the only diehard in the band:) Have not met any of them... yet. I think you already know the lengths I go to to meet my idols! This will take off, and they indeed will know who we are in good time. No clips available yet. We did video our singer auditions, but the sound quality was really bad in the room we were in when we picked our Vixen Neil who just quit. Sound quality was better with the tryouts who didn't make it, but I would rather not put anything up where we don't sound as awesome as we are. Right now we're thinking of recording some instrumentals to help us in our search for a singer. We'll see what happens. As soon as we do, they'll be up on the page.

well Thrasher02, any advancements on the whole band breaking up thing?

Trasher02 02.03.2007 10:22 AM

I'm going to tell him today in person. It'll be our last rehearsal.
I wonder how he's going to react.



Pfff I'm nervous.

i know, its not easy. just say it straight out, you'll be amazed at how relived you'll feel afterwards - its for the best.

haha bands really are like a relationship. And its scary kicking someone out, because you fear "maybe ill never find someone else", but dont worry, plenty of other Rock fish in the sea.....get it...ROCK fish..BAHHAA :P

thewall91 02.03.2007 11:34 AM

maybe you can put it to him that if he practices more, maybe eventually he can get back in. that puts the onus on him to sort of prove himself if he really wants it. maybe you just have different goals.

i hope that you're kicking him out vs. you quitting. if he's the one who's not putting the time in, you shouldn't have to quit. on the flip side, if you do quit and you start your own band, you're in more control over finding exactly what you're looking for.

Well, hopefully it works out... My consists of my friend's lil brother on drums and his friend on bass or gtr depending on what I'm playing... and we've practiced like 3 times, and not since oct because their in highschool and it's hard to work schedules out (and I was working heavy on my 4-track for to get my cd done0... but now we've decided to jam again, which should turn out awesome, I hope. All the other ones were.

Also-- has anyone ever had success with putting up a flyer asking for band members? I put one up saying I wanted to start a punk band and got 0 replies. What the hell people.

ALIEN ANAL 02.03.2007 01:39 PM

i get to jam bassicly everyday, its pretty rad, its more of a jam band though. My brother on drums, and Thor on bass and me on the geet and who ever singing.
I want to get this girl to come drum, but she is to shy,very annoying.

king_buzzo 02.03.2007 05:57 PM

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnntt aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddddd

heavium 02.03.2007 06:59 PM

oh noes ! you quit ?

join one of mine. ;-)

you'll have to travel back and forth tho, hehe


but seriously.. if you're looking for a band, try to join one where the other musicians are more experienced..you'll learn a lot, after my high school band split i did this audition for a semi-pro band, those guys were ten years older than me (some almost twenty years older) but all very experienced, i stayed in that band for a mere couple of months but i did learn more in those few months than in those three years with my high school band;

cant you just get a new bass player? or at just be a two piece?

Patty,

That's funny as hell.
Nikiti Seis?

HAHA.

i've been thinking about doing the same thing. we recently drafted a friend of ours to play drums, mostly because i was juggling saxophone, drums, and electronics at the same time too often (and also because he has a truck), but he doesn't have a lick of music in his bones and can't play outside of a 4/4 rock rhythm and has no concept of tension or repose in music or anything like that. also, at times it feels like our singer is just keeping us for his back up band or something like that when his singing and same method of guitar playing may be what scares people away from us. everyone says that i'm wasting my time with this and that i should focus on doing solo work or working with someone different. i don't know.

the moral of the story? take his bass and kill him.

Savage Clone 02.05.2007 02:15 PM

So, are you gonna update us on how it went down or are you gonna leave us hanging?
