just to prove Guitar Mike was erroneous about stating I have no videos..
Dayne - you need to improve your reading skills, I never said anything about YOU having no videos.

ANF you have no star quality in your casual appearance.. Therefore we have no use for you as a valid human being musical type.. I believe only azzholes and arrogant azzholes would treat other musicians that way
.like above aforementioned posts by you know who
A jam in a public place is completely different than requesting an audition to join a band.

No, THIS band is history (after 1 more gig). A band is more than just the individual members, its is the combination of members and what each contributes to the overall sound.

Zenith - it works both ways - you want examples of the band's live abilities, they want examples of yours. Too many 'wannabes' around. A good indication is a profile that has no pictures of the person actually performing live - oops, like your profile. No live pics, no videos, no audition!
Of course it works both ways but I'm not going to be the one asking for video footage as I'm probably not going to bother to listen to it. I'll form my opinion when I actually get in a room and hear with my own ears what the band sounds like. Music is a business and like any business it's boils down to supply and demand and honestly you guys probably need me alot more than I need you. Obvious exception if your band is playing on a higher professional level and not just grinding out the bar scene making 50-100 bucks a night.
Thought experiment try posting an ad in craigslist asking for a keyboardist see how many responses you receive, then try posting an ad as a keyboardist looking for a band and tell me how many responses you receive. Truth is there's exponentially more guitarists than there are keyboardists, and there are alot more bands looking for keyboardists than there are keyboardists willing to lug around all their expensive gear to an audition. Feel free to be as critical and picky as you please among your fellow guitarists, you can't throw a stone anywhere outside and not hit one. If your rule is I must submit a video with a complete profile in order to play music in the same room with you then no thanks, ask the other 4 gigging keyboardists in town maybe they'll be willing to jump through your hoops if they can find the time.
Well, I guess things are different in Houston then (or maybe not), but as I've stated here numerous times, no online music for me to 'pre-audition' you, then we'll just move on. My time is worth too much to waste any more of it with people not meeting my requirements (and the vice-versa holds true, too - if the person doesn't care enough about my qualifications, then, its a sure sign it won't work out).
