So, I'm in a band.

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well, I'm starting a band. The Traveling Lightbreakers. (Traveling Wilburys, Electric Light Orchestra, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers). This is quite fun, especially writing songs. (Me and one of the other members wrote a pretty darned good song, and one of the other members is like our Bob Dylan. She's a good writer)

We even made up our own names and colours.

Spoiler :

Aspie Lightbreaker
Slider Lightbreaker
Hariette Lightbreaker
Chocolate Pineapple Lightbreaker Jr.

LOL, has anyone else here been in a band?
Any tips, tricks, or ideas?

Thanks everyone.

Make sure to flash the audience during your act.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I don't think we're gonna do concerts. This is actually an internet band. I mean, how can people in Nova Scotia, New York City, Illinois, and Tennessee have a band, other than over the internet?

 

[warpus]

Put up a website and flash people there. That will equal immediate success.

If you need a producer, my dad is Timbaland.

Internet bands are great, I know how to work Audio engines like Audacity or Kristal and it's much better than having to get drum and bass machines and other "digital band" stuff. It's a good way to easily find people you connect to musically, but I'd prefer a regular band.

What do you do?

Congrats, this video is for you (its good rock 'n roll):

the Hellacopters - I´m in the Band

I did some grawling for a band when I was in my death metal phase way back in the day. Grrraaaaawr!

 

[Kozmos]

Damn, you just dont know when to stop.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

LOL, mostly we cover classic rock/oldies, but we do write a few of our own. Here is the song I was talking about in the original post:

Spoiler :

Verse 1
If you wanna be like me,
You gotta fight to be free.
You know you gotta fight to be free.

Chorus
It's only right, to fight
For your Freedom, yeah
(It ain't right, to be let down
And pushed around, yeah)

Verse 2
They might treat you like [bad word that rhymes with 'hit']
And then said you asked for it.
But you gotta fight to be free.

Verse 3
If you're being pushed down
You gotta get up and aroun’
You’ve gotta fight to be free.

Chorus 3x

Play a chord, [whoever plays the solo]!
Instrumental Solo

Spoken Bridge
You know they’ll push you around,
But you gotta fight to be free.
Do you wanna live like a prisoner?
Do you want to be a captive?

Chorus 5x to fadeout

 

[Fifty]

That song is so brilliant.

An epic meditation on freedom for the ages!

call me, i'm Scott Storch!

 

[Virote_Considon]

I'm in a band called Industrial Strength Cleaner. I do vocals, because it is all that I can do, ATM.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Needs more Tom Petty.

 

[Syno]

First extremely serious post:

Good luck with it, and make sure to post any releases!

(Also, you may want a GOOD website, and not things like Freewebs...)

 

[Red Door]

You guys are worse than Avenged Sevenfold.

 

[MobBoss]

I can see it now! You have huge hits in the future and are the ushers of a new era of rock and roll majesty. Your hits "I have a headache", "I am BLEEDING!" and finally "I keep blacking out..is that bad?"...remain at the top of the charts for record setting times!

I am so happy for you! Keep up the good work!

 

[El_Machinae]

I really think someone should write a song for "I keep blacking out ... is that bad?"

There's a lot of potential there!

 

[Catharsis]

I don't think we're gonna do concerts. This is actually an internet band. I mean, how can people in Nova Scotia, New York City, Illinois, and Tennessee have a band, other than over the internet?

Conference calls?

Seriously, good luck with that.

that does closely match the original definition of sarcasm...

Ask and ye shall receive...

This is to the tune of "Waiting For a Girl Like You" by Foreigner.

So, guys, I've been falling down, I've been fainting for too long,
Sometimes I will fall on the couch, sometimes I will say "owch",
People won't help with this problem, not even my mom,

I'm all black and blue, and I think I saw some purple too,
I don't know what's wrong... I think these spells are too strong,
This hasn't happened before... my entire body is so sore,

I've been fainting... for a day or two,
Do any of you have advice?
I'm even fainting at school,
Maybe I should try something new,
I've been fainting at CFC, too...
