ROCKPAGE

He guys, I'm looking to either join an established band or something new. I like to play all kinds of rock and enjoy writing original songs. I also have some lead capability. Definatly no ego here and I have my own equipment. Also willing to put in a lot of work for the right people. PM me if anyone...

I'm currently looking to get in touch with a basist and drummer from around the altoona area to start an original rock/hard rock group. I'm 27 years old and play Rhythm guitar, and I havn't played with many others up to this point. I have my own equipment and am willing to travel around for the righ...

LOL at all the "lack of talent" posts... Apparently they have SOME talent to even be offered a deal or a shot at a deal. Some of these posts seem to come off as penis-envy cause they're there, and you are not. Music changes all the time. Look at Michael Jackson, when he split from the Jack...

Gonna update this with some info. Also looking for... Jam sessions. Doesn't have to be anything regular. I don't mind if I see you one time then never see ya again, as long as I get to play something with ya. However, I'd love to get a call or PM back at a later time just to chill out and play some ...

Years ago we were looking for a guitar player, he showed up and left as soon as he heard us play. That was a downer...lol lol, that sucks man. Did he give a reason at all? One of my bosses at a place I used to work with said when his band found their lead guitarist, he wouldn't play in front of him...

thanks for the replies guys! It's been interesting reading what you've had to say. I see a lot of people saying things like "Know the material". What if to the guy coming into the audition hasn't had much exposure to that set list. Obviously ignorance isn't an excuse, bit if someone had pu...

there's only so many notes on a guitar, and even a piano, so at times you will come across music that sounds similar to others. It might not always mean someone was being spiteful, and if you're a fairly unknown band, how is another group supposed to know the music you've written if they've never he...

Hey everyone, we've ALL been there at one time or another. whether it was an ad on rockpage, or a number a friend had given you to call the same things echo in people's mind each and every time. Things like, "Am I good enough?", "I hope I don't screw up too many notes and blow it"...

The difference in music between 1970 and today isn't the "shit that's on the air" or radio, it's more of the evolution of technology. More keyboards are being made that can mimic lots more sounds than the ones being built in the 70's. Also society as a whole changes from one generation to ...

Yeah, they seem to be decent dudes. I had fun and enjoyed the audition with them. They are very relaxed and were quite professional.

Good luck to you as well, Felix!


Still looking....

Heh, no doubt.

I've talked to her before and we seem to want to play different things, and I've got no place to practice where I live, so that makes it hard as well.

I'm looking to jam with some people, or help with a new project. I play mostly rhythm, but can play some smaller note leads. I have a lot of rock/punk style influences, and like playing that music a lot more. I'm willing to put my time in for the right people who don't mind a newish person who has s...

Good luck finding people dude. I've only tried out for a few bands, but I am certainly noticing a pattern in what is played around here. I'd try to join ya, but I fear that my skill isn't where it needs to be for the stuff you wanna do, and I generally play in the punk/90's rock style as that's what...

Bumping this. Still looking for come cool cats to play with. At this point it doesn't matter if I play in a one night hour long jam session, I just wanna play, and maybe learn some new licks!!

If clean energy is really a concern, we'd be building new nuclear energy plants and figuring out how to re-use nuke waste.

Hey all. Well, here I am again. Looking to either create a group, or join a group, I'll play covers or help write originals. Either one doesn't matter really. I'm from Altoona PA and am willing to travel to surrounding areas like State College, cresson, ebensburg, ect... I have been playing for arou...

Yeah man I know what you mean, but like you said at least you aren't hurt. Hell, maybe you can call a friend up and ride on his bike to the bike show. This isn't nearly as bad as what you just went through, but when i got my first car I put a bit of work into it and some paint, about two weeks after...

the second article summarized my feelings perfectly.

There are people out there who love music for what it is and love to perform. Money isn't the be-all-end-all of music.

Yeah PA is ass backwards. Someone somewhere must be making a lot of money controlling the alcohol being sold in PA cause I just don't see any other reason why a Sheetz, BP, or Sonoco can't sell booze in their store. I've been to many places outside of PA and there's not much problem with have soda i...

To answer someone's question about albums no longer being made if no one can make money from it, I say that it won't effect music. There's been music since man has whacked a stick against a tree, or tossed a pebble into some water. What others see as a broken industry, I see an industry "freed&...

That's a damn shame man. I don't ride, but know of others who do and enjoy it a lot. When i see bikers around I make sure to give them too much room, cause if someone were to wipe out, I'd hate to run them down with 5 tons of steel. heh.

So, recently I decided I wanted to dive into the guitar and really learn how it works to both play better and add lead melodies to music. I know that learning scales is probably the best way to do this, but I have found very, very few free websites out there that could give me any help without telli...

Not sure where I fit in either. I know my father and mothers siblings would play, not all of them but a few of them. My father never played, and I got into it in my late teens. My dad would always bitch about the "noise". heh,

I've talked to a few people about this and they came up with the point that legalizing it may not mean they will make a profit from it. I mean there's many people who grow their own now, if it's legalized others might learn how to grow and "harvest" it, and seeds are certainly a lot cheape...
