Well, me and some buddies are making a band and then I thought," I wonder how many 13 year olds are starting bands like me?" Our bands name is Textbook Example.

Ooh, ooh, I am! :lol: I'm the lead vocalist. We're called Pascal's Wager. I help out with all the instruments, I'm not just like... 'Lalalala! I sing! ...WTF is a measure? :eek: Pre-verse? What are you saying?!' XD

No, I'm not like that. I actually know about music. :heh: And yep, I'm 13!

sweet. i am lead singer/1st guitar. my best friend is 2nd guitar/ backup. my other friends are drums, bass, keyboard. although sometime my keyboard friends has an off day, then i fill in. (believe it or not, im better than he is on the keyboard but he sucks on guitars and drums, so there you have it):heh:
wait isnt pascal the triangl dude? like mathmetics pascals triangle?
by the way anyone know how to make a clan? i wanted to make one named the psychos. all deranged angst filled peverted idiots in the teenage years should aplly! even girls! (i say that cause im not sexist!) yay!

I'm the lead singer in a band...The Harrison Fords lol.

My best friend plays piano and her twin brother plays guitar and we're still looking for a bass player....

We have one cover of a song that has a clarinet in the beginning so I play that, too. We're just starting off performing covers until we get all our own songs to sound good enough lol. It's so much fun though. Acoustic versions of TLC's No Scrubs :P

LoL. That's cool. Well, we're just starting. We've got a cover of AFI's Girls Not Grey down (with the guitars in standard tuning, though, 'cause AFI has 'em tuned down a half-step).

We each have like riffs and little ideas to offer, hopefully we can mix those up and make a song of our own. I'm the one with the most composing/arranging experience, despite me being younger than all of them, so yeah... I'm planning on helping out with putting the songs together and stuff, not just singing. :)

EDIT: @*Fill_In_The_Blank*: Yes, Pascal was a sort of scientist. Pascal's Wager is actually a theory Pascal used to try and convert people to Christianity. It's quite interesting, but the theory doesn't convince me, LoL. XD You can look it up in Wikipedia; they probably have it. ;)

well I am...sort of...
I mean, we have the skills, the people but not the motivation. We can never get into a practice session so it's basically on hold XD
we only had practice once...we played a variety of songs

Well, my band is more of a punk rock integrated with new age techno and some oldie riffs (my best friend loves oldie rock, he begged me to use some of his ideas. I put in the techno XD) i got the passion the insanity, the angst and the genius. the rest? yeah, they got it too. so basically u got a rock band full of psychos. yaY!

Woo hoo! :woohoo: LoL. That's so cool.

Well, my band pretty much wants whatever comes out when you mix psychedelic rock, a little bit of punk rock, some metal, and classic rock together. Mainly Led Zeppelin-like, though. Kinda like Wolfmother or the Mars Volta. ;) Haha. But hey! I'm a big fan of My Chemical Romance and AFI. :P We'll zee vat comes out of ze melting pot! :lol: Muahaha!

I'm looking for a band to join. I can hit really high notes. I mean, my voice can be used in some examples as a dog whistle. I'm hoping to get picked up on that reason alone, because other than that, I don't know much about music.

Kay, here is a cover a band at my school did. Originally my brother wasn't in it, but the second guitarist dropped out of the band, so he filled in. (My bro is the guitarist on the left, the black guitar)

They did Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold, their band is The Magical Unicorns

their band is The Magical Unicorns

LMAO! XD Crack kills. Well, they're pretty good (except for the vocalist, who sucks at screaming, singing, and trying to drive the crowd). But the guitars we're good, and heck, everyone's except the vocalist was pretty damn awesome. Hahaha. :lol:

Anywho... Me and my brother decided to leave our band 'cause the drummer, first of all, left (he's the only good one in there). And then the biggest turn-off was when my cousin said that they only wanted heavy metal (the modern type). We told him, I don't scream (too attention-whore-ish, and I fnd it incredibly useless to fuck up your vocal chords just for the sake of being a drama queen), and that the music is completely negative and really stupid. It's more of a showing-off thing rather than sending a message and trying to save kids, trying to let them know that's it's O.K. to be messed up sometimes. Not: "Aaaaah! My heart is broken! I'ma cut my wrists!" <_<

So yeah... We're out, but we're planning on getting the drummer in to work with us, and perhaps our friend Jonny, who has to be one of the most talented guitarists I've ever heard. He has his own distinct style, and the music just flows when he plays it. He's truly amazing. ^_^ Plus, we're all pretty much into the same stuff.

The vocalist looks like he has ants in his pants...He need a chill pill. The rest of the band was good....I hate it when people cheer during a song. Damn it, just shut up and listen. Is he lossing the suport of his spine? Geez.

er are you in it?

the lead guitarist was good. The singer was er..well couldn't really hear what he was singing if you could call it singing...(also agrees with the above post)

lol, no. Im not in it.

wow. this is the most peoiple people thta ever responded to one of my threads. yuo could say that i am a poor misunderstood violent psycho. eh. by the way, AFI rocks! go Miss Murder! Go Linkin Park! Go mE! eh.

PS by the way, what was the singer in that band asuka showed us saying? i heard "yeah" thats about it. I think its screamo. what do you guys think? screamo, punko, emo, or goth? psycho is not a category. yet. wait until my band unleashes our cd. itll take a year. XD. Name? Terror in The Haunted House. (That's the CD's name)

PSS: Marlon what about me? Im your buddy too!:cry:

what type is it? - embarassment i think.

yeah, i think your right. id kill myself if i sang like that. XD

Me, my brother and a few of their friends are kind of thinking about making one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldqHOUHtU1U

here is the original. Karlo really did ruin it, I coulda done better ^.^ But yeahs, its Avenged Sevenfold... they're like Metal/Rock

oooh wicked song... @_@
Yeah the other band 'The Magical Unicorns' serious did kill it. Well the singer did.

We used to have a band. However no one else was really dedicated to music as much as me. Meaning they never practice their instruments anyway. Me and my bro were lead singer.(My Bro has an amazing voice) . We played rock but sometimes more dragonforce kind of stuff.

And Linkin Parl Rule. I made a tribute band once called Linkin Playground:heh:

Ke-hah. My dad used to have a band when he was a teenager. All they knew how to play was Smoke on the Water. XD

Hah. That song is way to annoying. :heh:

smoke on water? my dad too! its get pretty perturbing after you hear it a thousand something times

I want to make a band now!! Most of the people in my school wouldn't want to though. I'm soo different to most of my school.
EDIT: Ok I didn't really explain that well. well i like different music to most of my school so if i suggested making a bnd, they'd probably want to do a cover version of Pussycat Dolls or something. -.-

I'm thinking of making one. Just need to find the right type of people though to make it good. It's pretty useless unless you take it seriously.

well, we are almost finished writing our first song. you guys van have a sneak preview. only the first verse or whatever k?

"It's 1 am and i cant get to sleep,
i kno im in this way to deep
my conscious tell me to get to bed
but i forgot one thing.....
my concious is dead!(strike e5)
(Guitar solo!!! by me. XD)
thats all folks!

Im going to try to a join an alterantive/indie band in HS. Play the piano (lol). Really though, If you listen to Death Cab for Cutie, thinking of a piano in a band isnt really weird. I want to play music like them :drool:

Death Cab For Cutie is awsome ^.^

dath cab 4 who? im only taught in the ways of linkin park and other kick ass bands in the category of angst filled songs. oh AfI too.

Shallow Minded Fool

Lol, you don't know Death Cab for Cutie? shame..... XD

well its probably because the person lives in hawaii - an island...so not all songs reach there.

Umm... NO! DCfC is saddly a mainstream band. Even as an indie band they were known in the scean all over the world.

Probably just not into rock music.

Heh. Just kiddin. I heard of them i just never heard them before. radio stations here suck

Umm... NO! DCfC is saddly a mainstream band. Even as an indie band they were known in the scean all over the world.


Er I highly doubt it. Maybe in English speaking countries, but definitely not all over the world. I've never heard any of their songs, only by chance I happen to know who they are.

Band Name~Red Octane
Vocalist~Me
Guitarist~Robert Carmer/Me
Drums~Nick Barnes

Hmmm... You should find a bassist. ;)

I had a band... before summer started. Now we're in different classes.. I doubt we'll continue. It was fun though, we were writing songs and such.
The problem was that we had,
Piano - Me
Bass - My friend
Violin - Another friend
Electric Guitar/Drums - Another friend

So we couldn't actually play our songs....... ._.'

I want to start a band...I've written a few lyrics, but I don't know anyone who would be willing to be in a band with me... (I suck...)

WEEE! Im hyper! My band is playing nonsence psycho songs. I mostly ignore them and try to play the guitar. Then i get annoyed and smash someone in the head eith an ukulele, or whatevers on hand. HEH.

i wish i could make a band but currently i cant find any members and it sucks! im a great guitar player but i cant find any1. i used to have a band and we were named Killers without a cure and before that was blinding confusion.

ooh.. ooh... the band.. hrmm!
we have a band, except we kinda rotate and stuff.. we havnt found our perfect combo...
but the main people that stay are

vocalist: me
guitar: tam, cat
bass: fatty
drums: gorbz

yes yes.. dont mind our names...
and our band name is... i dont know O_O"

but! there is a band that most of the other guys are in..
band name : three out of ten
guitarist: chuong, tam
bass: fatty
drums: gorbz
vocalist: i think its chuong...

well they dont perform lol.. they jus muck around together... playing music.. and chuong is meant to sing but he too shy... so why dont i sing there? meh.. its not fully a stable band.. and yeah.. i dunno...

Okay...anyways, here's our first song that me and my band did:

My Life-RED OCTANE

All this talk about a life you never had...
Is pain to my ears and my eyes...
It's my life that you stole...
That's why I'm suffering...
About a life you never had!

It's a life you never had...
You stoke it from me and I want it back...
I know it won't be easy, because it's hard for you...
But, it's MY LIFE!

All this talk about a life you never had...
It isn't true, because you stole it...
People don't know it, but it's a lie...
You stole my life, and that's my I suffer...
About a life you never had!

It's a life you never had...
You stoke it from me and I want it back...
I know it won't be easy, because it's hard for you...
But, it's MY LIFE!

I want it back now...
I've lingered long enough without it...
I want it back now, and I know why you stole it...
It's because you've never had a life...
I suffer because of that...
and the fact that it's a life you never had!

It's a life you never had...
You stoke it from me and I want it back...
I know it won't be easy, because it's hard for you...
But, it's MY LIFE!

The life you had was mine...
I have it back now, and you haven't a life...
I'm not sorry for your crimes...
Now I suffer...
BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO LIFE NOW!

It's a life you never had...
You stoke it from me and I want it back...
I know it won't be easy, because it's hard for you...
But, it's MY LIFE!
