charic Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Well it has happened again, after an extremely bad (on all sides) practice on monday the band have decided it's just not working with me as a bassist. Gutted? Yep! On the plus side, the music wasn't as heavy as I would have liked so this gets me the opportunity to go looking for something 'a bit more my style'. On the down side, they had their own practice space and would have been gigging early next year Oh well, [b]NEXT!!![/b] Edited November 24, 2010 by charic Quote

Welcome to my world (well half getting there, but not satisfied). Just found out my old band are touring four times next year....severely annoyed with myself for trying to move and further my career only to be met with crap landlords, crap bands (although the lads I'm with at the moment are great we just need to get going, the bands before have been crap though!) and a job I dont like.

charic Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 I would agree but I really REALLY want to do some form of gigging. Been in far too many projects that havn't made it that far! Quote

EdwardHimself Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) It can be annoying not having a band. I've now been in MCR for over 2 months supposedly one of the music centres of the world as it were. Only it turns out there aren't quite as many bands as i expected.

charic Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 You've been in my chemical romance for 2months? You should give the zutons their song back Quote

Cat Burrito Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 We've all been there, peaks and troughs! I'm sure things will change for all who are on the downside at the moment Quote
thunderbird13 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 just dont do what I did - replied to 3 adverts in Gumtree last week and then realised that I'd written my email address wrong ( .com instead of .co.uk ) twat !! Quote
charic Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 gumtree is by far the most confusing site I've seen Quote
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Relax, don't worry about it. You'll probably be in loads of bands. Take it easy ,and practice the stuff that the band were uncomfortable with ,plus other stuff Quote
janmaat Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 I just left my band - sort of - just decided I can't be bothered waiting for the guitarist to turn up any more. It feels great, to be honest. Only drawback is that I have bought a lot of kit that I really can't be using at home, and it looks at me with sad drivers On the other hand, can there be a bass player without band? I mean, BE the band - a band that doesn't have a bass is no band or is it? So forget about that, and just form another one... finally we're the base of the music, and it's always good to build a building from bottom to top am I right? Quote
charic Posted November 24, 2010 Author Posted November 24, 2010 Can't believe I'm writing this but I've got an audition for a band already! Quote
