TCSpider Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 i've only been in a few bands here and there but the one i actually stayed in and did more than just bass is the one i'm in now. i do the vocals, bass, and lyric writing. we play up tempo metal. i go against the wisdom of Geddy Lee though. i play low and sing lower or just distort my voice entirly. think static-x or devildriver in terms of the distortion i can bring my voice to. Will to Live Bluffing Run From the Truth The Anti Swingin' the Dead by DevilDriver i am the anti, the tugging feeling in the back of your head that makes you second guess yourself. i am the devil inside of you begging to escape.

blitzkrieg bop Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 My first band (only one I've been in so far) was Nobody's Perfect (1997-98). Our top 5 included: -Runaround Sue (Dion and the Belmont's, a rockin version, plus we had a female singer, so it was interesting, she sang it from Sue's point of view) -Away (Original, Music by NP, Lyrics by Me) -The Butcher and the Manequin (Original, Music by NP,Lyrics by Me) -The Coward (Original, Music by NP, Lyrics by me) -Someday Forever (original, Music by NP, Lrics by me) Our first live appearance was a battle of the bands in our school auditorium. I'm pretty sure those were the five we played. We played at a friend's house party after that where we added some more originals and covers of "Creep" (Radiohead) and "Born to be Wild" (Stepenwolf).

BiC Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hummm... I can think of only a few originals. We weren't a cover band. It was one of those early high school bands when you thought you were COOL b/c you could at least say you WERE in a band and had written and "recorded" some original material. At least I still have the tapes from 1987-88.

Danzilla Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I did a few high school talent shows as a duo with "singers"; one was a bunch of Pete Townsend/The Who songs including Behind Blue Eyes and Let My Love Open The Door; one was a bunch of stuff including Rush's Broon's Bane/The Trees, followed up by Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song". But my first band was GTA (Grand Theft Auto- real imaginative, eh?). I remember playing: Deep Purple: Knockin' At Your Back Door Led Zeppelin: Communication Breakdown, and Rock N Roll Boston: Forplay/Longtime Ozzy Osbourne: Crazy Train Dio: The Last In Line And our one and only original, "Understand". The other guitarist is now the "singer" in a band called Twenty Ripped Angel. He's probably tried to forget this band as much as I have.

mchen Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 We were "The Rebels" (gag). Some of our tunes were: Land of 1000 Dances Gloria Louie Louie The Midnight Hour Wild Thing Most of these were current top 40 at the time. We were a power trio and didn't even know it!

Eric Iverson Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I have the list of songs we were going to learn - this is 1971 or so. I don't think we actually learned too many of them, since we were mostly into jamming and getting high! I seem to remember "Death Sound Blues" by Country Joe and the Fish and some by Creedence and the Airplane. ---------------- And I remember a couple of things we jammed on that we wrote: mostly modal things with A sus chords etc. I would love to hear those tapes, 35 years later!
