bonzodog Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Cool. I grew up playing in various metal bands. Anything from WASP to Metallica, but then last year I was asked to join a MOD covers band playing The Jam, and The Who etc. Cant believe how much I am enjoying it and the bass lines are so much cooler to play! Always good to have a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weststarx Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well I'm sort of similar in that I joined at Rock covers band that is now very much a Pop covers band as well. Never thought I would be enjoying playing Taylor Swift and Katy Perry songs!! ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonjames Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm pretty open when it comes to music genres, I prefer some more so than others, but struggle with some of the "pop" stuff. Having said that, that's from a listening point if view, I find nearly all music enjoyable to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I love to try new things, I come from a punk / indie back ground, I can do that with my eyes shut but I am drawn to anything that expands my musical knowledge and ability (except slapping I have to draw the line somewhere, I am crap at it anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve recently been depping for a rock band doing many songs I wouldn`t normally have learned and it`s been good, none of the songs particularly difficult, but learning 30 odd in a couple of weeks pushed me a bit. And now I`m learning songs then playing them with the band live without rehearsing them. That too is pushing me as I`ve never done that before. Which is all a bit of a change and improving me as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
