Well then...what's this hangin' outta my mouth??? a fag???

bah, you killed the joke

hmmm He goes to school....wonder if he can post something on a community bulletin board?????

I agree, he does sound kind of hostile. I am thinking that this person might be a little angry.

Just a tad bit.

No he did not kill the joke. And the Coke well it's running down my keyboard now.

Can't is a suckers word. Keep saying "I cant because" and you never will.
One of the best fighters I ever had the privilage of having my ass kicked by has only one arm. Tell him he cant?

My point being if you have the desire you can and will overcome any obsticle.

Adapt and overcome!

lol No, I'm the hostile one..

A friend of mine is 100% blind. He plays drums in a band, which practices once a week and they gig at least once a week as well. He can set up his own kit without assistance, other than where to set it up. He has to mooch rides, too.

He's the nicest guy in the world, is non-abrasive, and one helluva good drummer.

I think people here are trying to help you dude, but you are being way too abrasive.

As far as zipcode searches, here's my small contribution. You can do a search by zipcode, and then sort the results by distance, so you get the closest matches first.

Of all the shortcomings of this site, the zip/sort feature is probably one of the last things they need to address.

Again, lighten up and ask nicer. Try asking your questions in a different way if you don't get the desired answers. Remember that you are expecting a lot from people who don't know you from a hole in the ground.

Look, I TOLD you, I DON'T live in a hole in the ground. READ!

Also again, I have NO concept of distance! I will need to know more of where someone lives. Zip codes are NOT enough. I don't know what's within 10 miles of 70817, but I might have a better idea of where another street is. STREETS are better than zip codes. I mean, DUH!

Also a zip code doesn't tell you what street you live on, or HOW far from a certain area. I have NO clue where 70817 ends, but I have a better idea of where Kindletree ends and what's around there.

Also I don't want to ride with anybody I don't know. I want to hang out with three young adult guys!

Get some CLUES! Look, I'm sorry for being so abrasive, but Y'ALL STILL don't get it. I DON'T want this to be a business band. I want this band to be a band of friends!

Three guys who live in Baton Rouge, (downtown areas are OUT) it would be best if he lived as close as possible, like maybe somoen in the Prairieville area.

I'm NOT looking to gig yet. That will come after practicing, and jamming with friends! DUH!

What do I have to do to get through your thick heads! I mean, it's like I have to keep explaining myself!

Again, I'm sorry for being so abrasive, but if you would ACTUALLY read everything, and UNDERSTAND everything, then I might get better results.

Get it through your head that I don't want to play in public yet. I just want to play some great pop songs with three other guys at a friend's house! If the band wants to gig, we're doing it because we just want to have fun, and are NOT doing for popularity, girls, or because we want to look cool.

Get some clues, which I KEEP writing down, but NONE of y'all seem to be reading!

Now, somebody from Baton Rouge, PLEASE help me out. Help me find these three level-headed, guys who believe in God and Jesus, but are able to enjoy some of the secular stuff as well, and who therefore want to form a band for friendship purposes and NOT for wordly desires!

I NEVER said ANYtHING about having trouble to set up my keyboard! Duh!

The ONLY thing I need help with is finding three guys who want to start a pop/rock band for friendship purposes! THINK!

Yes, I'm a little angry, but that's because NO ONE understands. I put my heart out there, state what I'm looking for, and I STILL get misunderstood!

The point of this band is to not make money, and I'm simply not ready to play in public. I need to find three guys first, practice, AND have fun.

I want the members of my band to put friendship first! In other words, no serving drugs, money, looking cool, getting girls, etc...

This band is about three guys having fun playing music together whether we play in public or not. It's not even about winning a Grammy.

If the band (all 4 members) decide to do gig, it'll still be for friendship and sharing our music.

So, somebody from Baton Rouge, PLEASE respond. Please, give me some advice I can actually use.

Clifford

Clifford.... calm down... it takes time...relax... if you want it that bad, it'll happen eventually... in the meantime...practice, practice practice... eat, sleep, drink and live your craft!

Gee...with all the warmth you've shown us here, you ought to have ppl climbing out of the woodwork to be your friend.

NO ONE understands? Ooooooh poor widdle you. Seems like you haven't a friend in the world. A friend could help you in your own area. If you act like this in person, that would explain a lot of why you're whining at us here instead of having your friend help. You don't have any friends, do you? I doubt very much that you'll find the perfect friend o/l who will want to drive you around & socialize with you & play music with you & be your bestest friend ever. If you do, they'll probably want something you don't want to give in return, like your butt or your self respect or lots of cold hard cash.

I don't see anyone here in the forum from Baton Rouge. So sorry...perhaps if you used the browse function? Or try the personals somewhere else? All you can seem to do is cry cry cry & cry some more. I have no sympathy for ppl who won't do what needs to be done, who cry that they are so frikken helpless & then complain when they don't get the perfect solution from out there in the universe somewhere. We all gots da troubles, dude, but when ppl do try & give nice advice when we ask for it, we don't gripe if it isn't custom made for us.

We're tiring of your wheedly whining...if you can't see that - READ!

You need to sit yourself down & figure out the things you are grateful for, & concentrate more on them than on the stuff you don't have or can't get for whatever reason. When you do that, things tend to get better, or at least LOOK better, all around for you, & then ppl might want to be around the happy guy. Until you do this, you wil be living in that hole in the ground you're digging yourself with your present state of mind, & you'll always be the needy wheedly irritating whiner. It's part of growing up. Are you, like, 4 yrs old? That's what you sound like to me right now. Gimme gimme gimme gimme right NOW DAMMIT!

Nowhere in your post do you mention that you have anything at all to offer. Are you like a big gaping empty hole that needs filling, or are you a whole person that could use a hand & who would be grateful for it? You have received no less than 6 responses from ppl who were trying to help & all you could do in return was complain about everything they said.

In the meantime, practice & work hard on your chops so that you have something to offer when you do meet someone to jam with.

That is the best advice I can give you. Good luck with all of that.

I am so over this poster. Not looking at this thread again.........

I did read what he is saying. I get what he is saying. He doesn't get what you all are saying to him.

Post on his schools community board. At least that is a start. That would be a local thing don't ya think? Sheesh

I told you that I'm sorry for being so abrasive. Also I'm sorry for whining, but I TRY my best to put myself out there, BUT NO ONE takes notice.

I EVEN tried talking to the friends I DO have, but NONE of them know anybody who plays the kind of music I enjoy.

My school doesn't HAVE a community message board.

I have sat down NUMEROUS times and thanked God for what he's given me, and I STILL haven't found anybody.

I really am a nice guy, I'm just angry that I can't find any young adults who would like to START a band.

I've talked to the people over at Zeagler about this, but they are a retail store, NOT a band forming place. And the ONLY other store that has also been a dud is Guitar Center, and well, no responses.

Now, will someone please give me some helpful advice that I can actually use? Maybe someone who's actually in the same boat as me? Someone who just wants to find some guys to hang out with and play some great pop songs for fun at a friend's house.

Hey, I need to improve my songwriting skills, and improve on the songs I can already play before I can actually play in public, so that's why I don't want to get play part-time with a band.

I came here in good faith, and I apologize if I was harsh. OK?

I am doing EVERYTHING I know how, and I just need some more pointers.

I've got a Myspace page, I'm getting some flyers put up around BRCC, I've got an ad on Craigslist, I've tried talking to the guys over at The Annex (part of Healing Place Church), I've put flyers up at Guitar Center, I tried joining Weekend Warriors, but that's a program for guys much, much older than what I'm looking, and IS not really geared to friendship and doing other activities.

What I'm searching for are musicians who play well, and who understand the basics of music, and who can therefore help me with songwriting and improving the songs I can already play, like providing me with the correct chords, and talking about a song we're working on.

Whether the band does gigs or not, doesn't matter, all that matters is that I'm hanging out with three great guys who have nothing but love. That is the BEST thing that ANYONE can offer. But that's not something I'd want to stick in a Classified section of a newspaper. NOBODY would respond to that because well, I'm sure I'd get guys who want money, or want to gig.

I need guys who can help me start a band, by first jamming together as friends, THEN making it official.

So, in short, will somebody help? Please?

Thanks,

Clifford

talk to the office and see if you can start a community board.

Why do I even try?

talk to the office and see if you can start a community board.

Why do I even try?

What office? I don't have time or the power to do that sot of thing.

They don't have that sort of thing at Baton Rouge Community College. If they did, I'd be on their already.

Also I don't want to start a community board. That won't lead to anything.

Haven't you read anything I wrote?

I want to talk with other musicians, not just people at the college.

Again, the college doesn't have a community board, and I couldn't start one. I doubt they have an office for that sort of thing.

So, please, give me some advice that I can use. I appreciate what you offered but I can't use it.

I need the name of a website or something where I can talk with other young adult musicians who just want some friends to jam with. That's all I'm looking for.

Help me out. Give me some advice that is actually not quite so far-fetched and hard to do. Give me something that doesn't involve going to the authorities to start a bogus community message board.

I was on BatonRougeRocks, but that place was bogus. The people on that board, were big drinkers, drug addicts, and smokers, and played mostly hard rock, and metal. NONE of them were into soft rock.

So, in short, somebody please help? Please?
