I don't think anyone wants to start a band anymore. OR; I'm too old/bald/skinny-fat to where I am even seen as even less of an asset as I already was (not)
Putting yourself out there kinda sucks

Man I’d do this in a heart beat!So reached out to a drummer who we used as a sub before. He just got out of a jam situation with the bass player I had in mind. Because they weren't "getting anywhere" which kind of concerns me as I already have a super active band. He said "it sounds like fun!" then went silent when I asked if he would be interested. I'm taking that as a no.
My list to self, so far
I Stand Alone
Bodies
Break Stuff, Rollin'
The Game
One Step Closer
Korn song (?)---Falling Away From Me
Dragula
Disturbed song of some sort
Deftones
3 Days Grace Let's Start a Riot
Powerman 5000 (?)
Rammstein (?)
I'm Broken
Any terrible suggestions? Am I dumb in thinking this would be a good time?

It could be an AND thing and not an OR thing!

True, but I couldn't find a better gif.No one wants to be in a band with Stuart Smalley either.

I tend to forgot that when you haven’t had a lot of experience playing in bands, there’s a lot to learn. Roz is the singer’s name I met last week, she started suggesting full band songs to learn between the two of us so I took a minute to explain it’ll likely take a while to accumulate the other members and we should focus on songs we can pull off as a duo before learning stuff we have to put on the backburner to actually play live. I suggested a few AIC tunes (she has no clue who they are and I kinda love that) and she suggested a Disturbed tune, some Taylor Swift and Metallica. We found some middle ground in that we both love Paramore, so I suggested “Decode” as well (I actually love that song, a lot)
Hahahaha and this morning I gave her fair warning; I probably haven’t mentioned this here much, but I cannot stop myself from fuckin crying when I hear certain melodies/harmonies/powerful voices/belt shit out myself. I don’t sob, but tears will well up in my eyes and dump out no matter how much I try to avoid it. Knowing how Roz sings and how we’re going to be throwing harmonies on everything, I expect it’ll probably happen a lot. It’s nothing to do with relating to lyrics, half the time I don’t even know what’s being said. I actually love that it happens, I just hate it happening in public.

Sometimes Disney movies will get me teared up when a musical score hits just right, I won't even give a shit about the scene or anything but I'll start tearing up lmao. Music is powerful like that.Hahahaha and this morning I gave her fair warning; I probably haven’t mentioned this here much, but I cannot stop myself from fuckin crying when I hear certain melodies/harmonies/powerful voices/belt shit out myself.

One of the toughest challenges, especially on abbreviated practice "schedules"; is trying to accomplish something. We have 6 songs potentially in the can and the best thing we could do is blast through them as non-stop as you can get, a few times at least. Trying to build a band rapport while being a tyrant because you're just trying to get things done is a tough balanceI tend to forgot that when you haven’t had a lot of experience playing in bands, there’s a lot to learn.
