I was specific, " Metal Musicians wanted" .
What came over to audition was dismal .
Most guys didn't know the difference between a natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor or pentatonic minor .... They were basicly Punk, Alternative or Nu Metal guys .... What a disappointment .... I wanted to form a band, not become a music teacher.
Ha, reminds me of the strange looks I got when the auditions realized I was on more than 6 strings. It was like I broke music somehow. Then explaining inversions to match chords below 6 string and harmonic minor coexisting with natural minor....
At this point, though, if I knew how to play drums well, I'd be willing to sit down with someone and work that out so we could have a regular drummer.
