ok..,
well I moved this from the gear forum into the pit because, unless you are looking for robots to complement your band, this is not a "gear" related question.
anyway... why do you even need help from us with forming a band? I suggest getting a 3-piece brass section, a timpani player and someone knowing his way around the koto. You yourself should sing backwards Sanskrite and do wind chimes with your feet.
or maybe you're looking for a bass player, 2 guitarists and a drummer...
does this help??
ps. have you heard about "trolling"? because this question you're asking seems to be somewhat of a "troll" post and that is not a good thing HYP.
Google says about "trolling": deliberately provoking arguments on newsgroups or bulletin boards, with no other intent than to gain attention for the sake of attention. Originally: fishing by dragging a line fitted with one or more hooks behind the boat.

And don't forget the 6 year old playing the marimba.
I'm assuming that you have listened to rock n roll music. What instruments do you hear? What instruments do you see when you see rock n roll videos?
It can range from a 3 piece drums, guitar, bass, to 2 full drum sets, 2 percussionists, 5 keyboardists, 8 backup vocals, string ensemble, horn section, dancers, magicians, and a DJ.
If your question is serious, maybe you need to do a little (ok, a LOT) more research into Rock N Roll, the music, the players, the bands, etc. And then you can decide what sound you want your band to have, and choose the instruments to produce that sound.

Or............
Find out who's around near to you that can play an instrument. Get together, and see what sounds you come up with.
It really is quite often down to who you can get, and what they can do, rather than getting exactly what you want.
My band is desperately missing a keyboard player - my preference is that they should be talented, between 25 to 30 years old, good looking, and female. Of course, if all else fails, then they don't need to be that talented!

Dont know why you are kidding, Hyp.....
This cant be a serious question. You are a musician as well like we are. You should know at best what is good for YOUR kind of music. If youe need a bass look for a bass player, if you need drums look for a drummer, if you need guitars look for a guitarist and so on.
Now I am going on shaking my head extremely and smashing it down on my desk because I cant believe that you believe you asked a serious question. Sorry but for me it's almost stupidity.

Well...I'll cast my opinion in here , too. Hypnosia, I believe Puppet is correct when he talks about "trolling". This makes the second thread you've started (the first one being that nonsense about "which is better...a bass, acoustic, etc", with some claim about wanting to start a "debate"). It does appear you are simply attention-seeking and that you have not even attempted to perform your own research , nor does it appear you are seriously seeking a reasonable answer before you ask these questions (that have no logical answer). This kind of behavior is exploitative of Bandampers and a waste of our time. Attempting to start a "debate" (as you did in your previous thread) is divisive and abusive of Bandampers as well. If, at any time, you feel people are annoyed by your behavior, this is probably the cause. I highly recommend you "check yourself before you wreck yourself".

. No one can answer this question? I can
You on guitar. you on vocals, you on drums, you on keys, you on everthing.
If that don't work, then find the other players ,(they're out there) to play the instruments you can't;but want.
Hope this helps?

Well pap, it's good that you stick up for the repressed, however;
HYP: on the accounts of spamming in the forums, the chat room, and via personal messages, trolling, and other general ill posting behaviour, after several warnings which obviously didn't seem to help much at all, your account has hereby been suspended until further notice.
Let this be a lesson for you (see subject - this forum and the member's feelings are NOT a game).

ps. nice way to spend my 1300th post...

Especially the bit about what sort of keyboard player I'd like in the band!
Sorry Pap. Not very helpful am I!

A great pity it's ended up this way - but I guess it'll just be a temporary thing, eh PX?
I was kidding about the troll thing |
I couldn't resist the goat/troll thing. Sorry about the suspension . Like Jim"s post maybe just a temp thing?
temporary suspension... |
... maybe...
He needs to learn how to do thorough reseach on his own,
how to be truly respectful,
and how to be really patient.
So this is going to take a while... I'll review his case from time to time and may let him off on probation in a few weeks but I really don't need a "ohh I really appreciate your bossy attitude!!" when I'm officially warning him on the chat page. Talk about contempt of court. It was then that I gave him his FINAL warning, and look how he responded in THIS thread:
"now for some logical and analitical game...
see pX...why do you think that i am trolling???"
I said: no playing games. Are you seriously THAT surprised that I call this how-to-kick-in-an-open-door question TROLLING?????
"well it is a serious question...
coz i need to find some very good intrumentalists
and all that stuff..."
I see, "and all that stuff"
"anyways....
well all this might help...
thanxs to all!!!"
Nobody gave you a single piece of advice that you couldn't have come up with yourself. The information given was generic at best... Mostly not serious at all (because the question can't be seen as such)
and I guess the comment to this thread: https://forum.bandamp.org/Audio_Review/2987.html wasn't a retaliation to what I wrote in your other troll post, about the "which is better" debate... eh? Each to his tastes ofcourse...
So Hyp, as you said so yourself in that chat we had, you're an attention seeker and you "particulary like moderator's attention!!!!!", ....
Well, you got it. And what do moderators do? Excactly, they kick people off the site (when they really have to)... SO, bye bye for now, I hope you manage to grow up a little ok?

I'm giving him some time yes.
Listen guys....You may disagree and feel that Puppet acted too strongly, but I absolutely agree with the decision to suspend (and I have not discussed this with Puppet). It had become clear (from sharing a chat room with Hypnosia, where he demonstrated attention-seeking tendencies that were at worst, disruptive and at best, annoying. Granted, these didn't occur 100% of the time, but when he got on a roll with this stuff..there was no stopping him). He tended to blow off feedback from several of us about this silliness, and has recently carried this coy, (even flirtatious) attitude into the threads. Don't be fooled, these two threads were not just naive information-seeking. They were quite "gamey". A little "time out" wouldn't hurt.....(maybe he'll get the message and act more respectfully). Hypnosia, if you are able to come back (and if you choose to do so), I hope you will consider conducting yourself in a more respectful and considerate manner, because you can be a valuable member of this community.
Just because he's young doesn't mean he has to exibit n00bish behavior, hello? From what I've seen on every single forum I've visited, people like hypnosia don't grow up, because they already *can* be respectful and blah blah blah, they just *choose* not to (because they think it's funny, or whatever). I would like to think he could become a positive part of this community but sorry, I don't see it happening.
RIGHT |
Right....
Hypnosia, listen.
I banned you from the AMP because of exactly that n00bish behaviour.
This means that you should STAY AWAY for a while, DO NOT sign up as different members (deMusique... Copyright) because you're not a great actor, and we can SMELL your presence.
Again you're showing a lack of respect for the community by doing this, which only supports the decision of your dismissal.
this (site) is not a game
So GET REAL, kid, go someplace else.
ps. forget about creating yet another account to reply to this thread, I've locked it.
I don't need your response, the decision is final. You got that? GOOD BYE.
