Musicians adverts that fill you with confidence.

[xgsjx]

I'm on the lookout to try & start a music project, but there seems to be a serious shortage of musicians (other than guitarists).
However, some of the ads that I have seen have made me smile, so thought I'd start to share a couple...

This one from a drummer...

[quote]hey iv been playing 5 years enjoy all kinds of music but would not want to play metal i have my own gear but no transport but would be willing to get trains[/quote]

Or there's this one...

[quote][color=#000000][font=arial]I've had enough with people not being commited and time wasting so I'm going to not fanny about and get to the point. [/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=arial]I am looking for a drummer, bassist and an other guitarist to start a band with. Around 16-20 I don't really care on age or gender. [/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=arial]I am 17 and play guitar, bass, drums and believe I can sing but thats all down to anyone who is confident to project their voice. May need a frontman.[/font][/color][/quote]

I'll add more as I come across them.

I know there's been a couple of good threads on Muso Adverts recently, but if you come across any on your travels, share them.

I can imagine mine wouldn't get much attention...

[i]Fat bloke wants to play something heavy. Hasn't played in a band in over 20 years, with gear just as old. Can't drive and I live in the middle of nowhere. Not bothered about making money at it, or even playing live.[/i]

They'll be knocking down my door to get to me!

I can't get there till half past four, can I still be in?

[xgsjx]

I'm really tempted to respond to the drummer who's actually willing to cart a drumkit around on trains. See if he wants to come up to Perth for an audition?

From a drummer: "Experience in playing many stiles."

In Guy Pratt's book he mentions muso ads before punk:

~ guitarist not on a heavy trip wanted ~

and after punk:

~ guitarist wanted, no beards ~

the on I likeD was:

~ vocalist wanted, must have own van and PA ~

[Cat Burrito]

I tend to avoid anyone looking for a base player

I responded to an ad from a guitarist who said he'd send me the cords to his songs.

Based on the songs I think they would have been faded orange, worn through around the knees and too short - revealing his fair isle thick woollen socks. . .
