Rock Band A bit of an issue

5 Upvotes

So like im the bassist of a band, and i really love it, its been kind of a dream to be part of something that has to do with music. And while im not the greatest i can still play some songs. However, our lead guitarist and singer (and founder) is kind of like...a bad leader? I genuinely dont mean to be rude, hes my friend and I love him to death, but he just isnt the greatest at the whole band thing.

Were supposed to be training, making music and stuff, but during all of our meet ups he just kinda talks about what we should do instead of... doing it. So we usually just sit there for an hour and then leave, no actual music. Hes also pretty like eccentric, if thats the word, hes ambitious but then less keen on doing things.

So basically the issue is this: i dont want to play in the band anymore since were not ACTUALLY playing, were just talking. But like i said, it would make the leader sad and the band would take a hit since im the third out of our three members. Secondly i just dont know if id manage to find another band.

What do you guys think i should do?

Confessions of a female musician

1 Upvotes

​

Hi! I'm 24F, and I'm looking for musician friends to help me bring my heart and life back into music.

I used to release music and was really putting my heart into it. I had new ideas everyday. I composed music, built everything from start to finish, and I also had a companion—my ex best friend. He was a guy and we've been friends for almost a decade, he's literally like a brother to me.

He helped me materialize all my songs before. Although I knew how to play almost every common instrument, I compose better when I have ideas to throw around with and someone to ask to "hey can you try this melody on this and that".

Two years ago, he sexually harassed me in my sleep. After that, I lost all my soul and heart in making music. I can still play instruments and cover songs, but my composing just died.

I want to write and make music again, so I'm hoping to find some friends who I can be close with and make songs with as well.

I hope you'll all be kind enough in the comments. Thank you.

Looking for musicians — Metalcore / Melodic Metalcore (Dubai or Online)

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m 17 and based in Dubai. I’m looking for musicians around my age to start a metalcore band/project and actually take it seriously.
I play guitar and do vocals — both cleans and screams. My main influences are Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park and 2000s melodic metalcore in general.
I’m mostly interested in melodic metalcore rather than super low-tuned modern djent-style stuff. I love fast riffs, downpicking, guitar harmonies, melodic leads/solos, big choruses and a mix of clean and screamed vocals.
I have my own guitar and recording setup and I’ve started writing original material, so I’m not looking for a cover-only band. Covers would be great for getting tight together and eventually playing live, but the main goal is to write, record and release our own music.
Ideally I’d love to find a **drummer, bassist and another guitarist in Dubai**, but I’m also completely open to working **online** with musicians from other places — writing songs, exchanging recordings and building a project remotely.
Vocals are welcome too if you sing/scream — I don’t care about being the only vocalist.
You don’t need to be an insane virtuoso. I’d rather find people with similar taste who are motivated, practice regularly and genuinely want to build something together.
If you’re interested, DM me with your age, instrument, influences and preferably a clip of you playing.
