United States

It has not so far. I've only been on here for a few weeks and so far there aren't any bands in my area looking for a guy who sounds like a blend of Phil Anselmo and Johnny Cash. I am also interested in forming a band, So if you are within 25-50 miles of Irving TX and want to form a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band, lemme know!

Hang in there!

I just ran into my namesake in ASbury, NJ>.

He claims to be similar to you, a combo of johnny cash and pepper from COC and HE is doing very well thanx.


I just wish I was in as good an artistic condition as he, as evidently he works ALL THE TIME>.


SSDD/different strokes for different folks.

I had been playing guitar for about 15-16 years before I found Bandmix. I had just been acquiring gear and playing in my basement.

Then, a couple years ago, I decided to get serious and start playing with other musicians and get a band started.

A local drummer found me on Bandmix and my first band was born.

We eventually parted ways, but he ended up being a really good guy and a good friend.


So yeah, Bandmix helped me. It got me out of my basement and got me started. Now I play in two bands and have a third one that wants me to play lead... I'm plugged into the local scene and in demand. That's a cool feeling.

So far, it has not worked yet. Some people have found me, but they're looking to play on a more professional level than I can offer right now. But I am still very hopeful!! I know that the right musicians are out there to play on a more fun level, and I'm really hoping bandmix can help me find them!!

I have had no luck. I find it hard to believe. Seems to me there is a large number of people "looking" but they may not be looking deep enough or really is not that important. For thore who read this, take a look at my profile and at the very least give me some feedback via a message. Although i am currently with an band, I have time to commit to a serious project. Maybe its that Im already involved or my recorded sample tracks are unattractive. Feedback appreciated!!!!!

I agree with you about the "looking" part. As I first posted, we were looking for a SERIOUS bass player and within the first week of the ad we got a message right here at this site from a local guy who came and auditioned and was in the first night. All it takes is communication people...leave a message on a members profile if you're interested, thats what its there for. If you still don't believe go to my profile page and check it out.

I believe most of the folks are just shy, or feel they are not good enough, or vice versa, they think they're the sh*t. Can't be like that, take a chance, it might work out for you, worked for me. And if not, well.........

I have left a number of messages and not one response. I will keep doing my part. I have some live and computer recorded songs and samples showing diversity and ability. Im a player. Maybe your right about the people being shy factor. Iv'e got a gig but I want to do original music and they just don't have the time. Hopefully I will get with some people sooner rather than later!!

We got a decent gig after about one month on Bandmix. So far, so good.

For far too many people "looking" is a passive experience.
Been looking for a job ... from the couch with a beer in his hand.
Been looking for a band / musicians ... by reading some adds here or there.
Not a condemnation of anyone in particular.
Just an observation of human nature.

Looking is an ACTION WORD according to my old English teacher.

My fortune cookie the other day said:
Providence smiles most on those in motion.

We can all take a lesson from that, cant we?

It hasn't..... but I like the forums....

Good Luck Tom.

Nicely put sanshouheil.

Me and the guys are already about 3 weeks from gigging. Got the venues lined up, just polishing the sets and we're good to go. Any members in Palm Beach County,Fl. I'll keep you posted on venues, times, and dates.

Good Luck Tom.

I don't know why my reply popped up 3 times,3 times, 3 times......sorry everybody.

S'okay, man. My lead singer stutters, so I'm used to it
