I'm to the point that I'm ready to start playing music again - with other people! I had a nasty wreck 2 years ago and I'm fully recovered and have my finger strength back and better than ever. What I'm looking to do is find a few people who play drums, bass, maybe another guitar or so and do a few projects. I would love to have one band that does it all but seldom is that easy to find; most people just like to play one style or keep things focused within a particular genre - I do not. I like to do most rock style music but I also love instrumental acoustic and ambient music as well as electronica and heavy stuff. I don't care for Death Metal per se - nor any other type of heavy music where you can't understand the singing - this is important to me because if the singer just growls there's no point to having words people cannot understand. The singer just becomes a soloist growler and that is my opinion. I don't want to slam anyone who likes that sort of thing - there are some bands like that I do dig, but it's not what I want to do with my music. What I want is to do 3 basic projects: First is a heavy, thick, distorted 80's style thrash metal LP - 10 or so songs that embrace the character of what made that genre great in my opinion. I will play guitar/lead and would like a killer drummer and bass player to join me - as for the vocals - I can sing but I would prefer someone who can really do it well. I have a few name ideas for the project and the one I like the most is: Ogre Nuts That name will kind of characterize some silly and funny bits and also the heavy themes that graced many an 80's thrash band. Secondly I want to do an instrumental acoustic / clean type intrumental project that has lots of catchy and creative backing with some complimentary melodies on top. Thirdly will be a straight out rock and roll type project with full songs and maybe even some keyboards. More to come... |
