Hi, Guys:
As the administrator of the forums ... and the moderator of the drum forum, ... I get lots of e-mails each and every day.
Many, many requests!
A request for an area for band members was the number one top request. Each time I thought it was a fluke that an e-mail requesting this would come through, ... I would get another request.
So, in an effort to meet the demand, I have provided the space. Does it take up bandwidth? Yes! Will it go away if there is no activity? You bet.
Here is the goal: To provide a place where folks that are in bands can hang, chat, learn, explore, problem solve, etc. Doesn't matter if you are a garage band, or a touring superstar playing major arenas.
Let me know what you think.
DJ

Addix wakes up in the middle of the night hearing this horrible noise...upon closer inspection, he realizes that it's a terrible, off-key version of "O Solo Mio" coming out of his basement.
Yep. Tedster got drunk and half-passed out in Addix's basement again.

This forum will never die as long as I have fingers...
Seriously... this is my area of expertise. Or something.

Dear Erik,
My band members suck. I want new ones, but everyone in town thinks I suck too. What can I do?
Signed...

Dear Perplexed...
Tell everyone else in your town to bite you. Move to another town and bite everyone there. Make sure you bring a sampler to record all of the screams. Use these sampled screams to create a new form of music called "electro/screamo/folk." Sell a zillion records. Laugh at everyone who told you that you suck. Lose all your money when the people you sampled sue you successfully for all your profits. Die fat, old, alone and addicted to Velamints.
Hope that helps!
Erik

Glad to see this forum open up. I have been lurking around on the keyboard forum, but I really am not into programming, tweaking sounds, and composing on a computer, etc. I play piano/organ with several bands, and basically work so I can afford to play.
