When your in a band.. Everyone seems to...

[AdamBunn]

I have had the same problem.

There was a 2 year stretch that I couldn't find a decent bunch of guys to play with to save my life.

As soon as I found the band I was looking for my phone rang off the hook for 6 months.

Same thing with being married/single.
Now that I'm married, the ladies throw themselves at me.
When I was single, the prostituites said 'No thanks.'

It's just being out there, being seen and being heard!

These days as a musician I think there's nothing wrong with playing with other people.

Doesn't suprise me that you got offers mate.. it happens once you're out there playing and meeting people.

I've never had that problem...

Perhaps the silence is telling me something?

:lol:

... I usually get atleast 2 or 3 messages a day now from other bands wanting me to join theyres..

Dude! how many bands are they in Portland Area? I guess your Warwick log has made you famous. When I say Warwick log I say it in not a demeaning way I think i have read this is how you've described it here sometimes.

There are a TON of bands around here... Portland is usually the area they come to play, But they are all spread out over Oregon. We play with bands that drive a couple hundred miles away to do a show with us

I'm reminded of this one time... We played a small show and after the show a guy walks up to me and says "Man! You're awesome! You need to ditch these guys and find someone whos up to your skill level, You're so much better than this!" 30 secs later he walks over to my band mates, pats them on the back and tells them how much they rock. The whole time the lead guitarist knew what was going on as he heard the conversation the guy had with me.

Talk about being rude...

I highly doubt it's my "skill" I just think my rig makes me look good I just stand up there and wiggle my fingers, my bass and amp do the rest of the work.

Yep,

you're famous...............What about groupies man ?? 8)

Groupies... My wife would KILL me! But seriously... The majority of the people at our shows are women... Which is VERY surprising for a metal band. And it's very hard to concentrate on playing while there are a bunch of women pushed up against the stage staring at me.

I think it's the sideburns...

Must be sideburns! Nothing says "Hunk, made for lovin'" like sideburns, Casey!
(When they go Mutton Chops it's even better. That's when models come ;D )

You are very wise for a 15 year old, mister. :wink: I could almost grow a full beard when I was a bit older than you, hehehehe....

I've been invited while in other bands, I just chalk it up to exposure: If they don't know you and haven't heard you play how would they know they want you?
