Members tidalwaveGB Posted August 8, 2007 Members Posted August 8, 2007 Before I get into what I'm looking for, these are my favorite metal-influenced bands (there are a few others, but this pretty much sums things up): *Converge *Between the Buried and Me *(OLD)Metallica *Dillinger Escape Plan (Calculating Infinity era) *Botch *Fall of Troy *The Number 12 Looks Like You *Slayer I also enjoy bands such as: Norma Jean, At The Gates, The Hope Conspiracy, Drowningman, Daughters, Soilwork, and Carcass (but I'm not as heavily influenced by them). My Story: I am a guitarist (and sometimes vocalist), who is sick of playing in bands that lead nowhere and have no real focus. If you feel this way too, please read on.... I have been playing for over 15 years (I'm 27), and consider myself to be pretty well rounded (besides metal, I enjoy prog, indie, 70's hard rock, new wave, and even some jazz here and there). I am fairly technically proficient (although I wouldn't call myself an "expert"), and understand basic music theory. I love guitar solos, but only when they are necessary for the song. More importantly, I LOVE odd time signatures and extreme dynamics. I want to MOVE the audience, both physically and mentally- I want them screaming along with every word and fearing for their lives. I am open to jamming with anyone that has the same goals and aspirations as myself. I want fellow musicians that share a similar vision. Drummers, bass players, guitarists, existing bands in need of some new blood are ALL welcome. I don't have a jam space, but I'm sure it will be cheap enough to rent one in the Worcester area, if at least 3 or 4 people are sharing it. Please PM me, if you want to make this happen. I'm not just looking to jam, and I definitely have good enough equipment to gig with. I want to play as many shows as possible! Thanks.
