Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

My band mates back packed to Cali and left me back in Tulsa, Ok!
Damn! I guess Im looking for an entire band again.
-Stay Metal!

I know how you feel bro.....I got diabetes and the guys i jammed with for 3 years dumped me too...keep on rocking man

That sucks for the both of ya, good luck I am trying to put my band back together again and I just need a guitar player and can't find one anywhere.

I did the reverse,I was the one that dumped on my bandmates and both bands were formed by me.I compromised myself to hiring musicians that I said I would never have in my group and they showed me why I had those goals but now I'm playing professionally with a band that has the same goals and character preferences.It does sting guys but you'll rebound even better

That does suck! I've been there and i have many t-shirts. i hope you find more people to jam with. Try www.tulsamusicpulse.com, www.tulsabands.com or www.oklahomrocks.com. id be down but im not really into playing metal, although i dig rockin out to it.

well I tell ya Rajon........Im glad they dumped me now that I'm lookin back at it.......Im finding much more open minded musicians to jam with.......and I found em right here on bandmix!

I DID get dumped after being in the studio for a year recording my first band cd.The reason:I didn't join them for a joint pass around.Know what???They prefered the mj over musicianship.The band broke up shortly after.Going back to my previous thoughts thats why I dumped this time around.I don't have time for drugs,alcohol,arguing....You can't stay at another job for long with these actions so whats different about being in a band.ITS A JOB!Got off the track but now we're cooking..........

I agree with rajon. You'll rebound three times as good.

I live in Fresno California, no music scene just clicks. I played in a few bands here and most of them got jealous by the way my playing got lots of attention ( I'm not bragging). Plus most here have a high school mentality, drugs ( mostly meth) and big egos that hinder their development as musicians and people. Just use these so called set backs as lessons to better yourself and your music
