Grangur Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Funny... I've often seen buskers but i've not yet seen a whole band on the London Underground. So they are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Reminds me of my attitude when I was in my late teens / early 20s. I thought it was going to be sillier. Good luck to them, although I suspect at least one of them will be a customer services manager inside of 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Newbie Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Such as shame about the hair requirement, 'else I could have gone for this. I've got arms and legs (well, I had the latter last time I looked - not easy to see when you're 3 stone overweight!). So, mid-50s, overweight, short (and shrinking) - well, that is an image isn't it? But the hair................damn! Best I can say is that I NEVER get bad hair days. Not sure about 'squatting' in a Peugeot 206 mind - man needs a bit of comfort at my age...

NickRiffed Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 They missed 'must be aged between 16 and 18, between 5'10" & 6'1", have their own transport and play a Red Fender precision. No time wasters or old people.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Nothing wrong with knowing what you want from a prospective band member. I've lost count of the number of musicians I've had to turn down for band positions over the years because they didn't have the right image and in every case because they didn't have the right image they also didn't have a good enough knowledge (if any at all) of the style(s) of music the band was playing.

seashell Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Brilliant! I fit the bill in every respect. :-) Although I think I'll avoid Harry Styles girlfriend. Or indeed Harry Styles.

tony_m Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Another from JMB... [i]"Creative bass guitarist wanted[/i] [i]I treat those whose only ambition in life is to be in covers bands with complete disdain. 'I want to be in a covers band' translates as 'I want an easy life and I don't have a creative bone in my body'. [/i] [i]It's particularly annoying when, for example, a 17-year-old lad places an ad on here saying he wants to be in a covers band. What a f*cking waste of potential talent! Have you no ambition? Have you no drive?! [/i] [i]I'm a talented (if slightly pretentious, hence my username) singer/songwriter/guitarist and I'm looking for a creative, musical bassist with whom to form a duo. Some knowledge of music theory would be a distinct advantage. Covers-only, lazy b@stards for whom playing seedy back-street pubs and clubs is the be-all and end-all NEED NOT APPLY! [/i] [i]Absolutely NO root, third and fifth note merchants!!"[/i] Don't think I'll be applying...

inthedoghouse Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Not bass related, so a bit off topic.
