Looks like there's a few musicians amongst us... just out of interest what is it you all do?

 

Me to start with...

 

It's more of a hobby than an earner, but I play keys, and my main passion is dance stuff, particularly fond of Big-Beat, but since I got all the kit I needed (analogue modelling synths and the like) I haven't had the time to do much of that.

 

A few years ago a bunch of us at work formed a band to earn some extra pocket-money- we do covers of soul, funk, and some disco.

 

So...

 

What about everyone else?

 

:)

How can you follow that pic! Lol! :rofl:

Been involved in music on and off since art college. With me its guitar, guitar and a bit more guitar with singing chucked in for good measure. Used to have a small (compact and bijou;)) home studio but I now use my mates as we collaborate together; my alt/industrial/electro project under the name "The Few" and his chemical beats and triphop stuff under the "Del Piero" banner(our taste in music is nothing if not eclectic!:D) Really need to pull my finger out and do some more as have neglected it of late with the old health goin t1ts up!

ROFL!! Thats awesome mate! Love it.

 

I attempt to play the guitar and want to learn the piano. Was just thinking about it today actually. I havn't had much of a chance to do it over the last few years, so hoping to get into music a bit soon. I've had almost zero experience playing with other people so don't really have a clue , but I really want to get playing in a band. It always pi*ses me off as I'm quite reasonable on my own, but that doesn't really make you a musician I suppose. I think I'll make it my ambition for next year, about time I got it together. :dance: :smash: :nana2:

"Sweet Jesus and all the little orphans". It's like the Rezillos meet the Glitter Band !

Geetars for me. I am a bit of a shredder, this is my current baby :D: -

Got one of these too, just for variety : -

guitar player and some sort of performer . ultimate aim

 

is to do recordings for other people , and have a set up like

 

PK1.. :nana2: :nana2:

Used to be in a metal band called SelfHate (played bass then), got signed, recorded our first album, and fell out and split up before we finished production. Ar$e.

Oh, what could have been...... :(

Another guitarist here, although I've also played bass, drums, mandolin (very Spinal Tap), harp and violin on the albums I did way back when...

 

Played in a huge number of metal / thrash / death bands over the years, did two albums with one of them and toured t'bloody world. For those that have ever wondered what it's like, the life of a heavy metal pop-star is a shit-load better than you think! :D :tongue:

:tongue:

How'd you know I looked like Rick Parfitt? :rofl:

LOL, I'd look like Michael Jackson if it meant I could tour the world in a band! You must have had a lot of sex and drugs.

I've got a strat delux, an acoustic strat, and an old classical. Play them all equally bad! Mostly Led zep, Hendrix sort of thing or at least in my imagination! but I like most things. Saw a really good band in Bristol the other day: The Martin Harley band. Very chilled blues sort of stuff, absolutely outstanding talents. The bassist plays a 2 by 4 plank with a couple of strings nailed to it and goes off! the singer guitar player does the most amazing slide (with wah wah) that I've ever heard. Highly recommended. Dave

i usually have a twang on my banjo :x:

Much the same as you Mark. I like dance Techno and Trance. I also enjoy Drum and Bass. I have used most every Dance Ejay program but Music Director Gold is probably the best when used as a Sequencer. I also use Fruity Loops to generate samples, sequences loops and bass lines etc. I have a Yamaha W7 Synthersizer which I think is absofookinlutely Brilliant. The sounds you can create from it are second to none. I am not a player really although I can sort of play. I do read music allbeit slowly but I can still read it. I have done 4 decent CD's (albums if you like) over the last 6 years. the best of which (although dated now) is called "THE BIG BANG" Its what I call a musical journey through time and space. LOL. I am working on a follow up called "THE BIG BANG II. (Life beyond the stars)" All the words and music are done by myself and I have used a program called "Cool Speach to speak the dialog.

 

So yes I have a great interest in music in fact its closer to my heart than my ZED.

Sorry about the length of the answer but you did ask. :nana2: :dance: :nana2:

LOL, I'd look like Michael Jackson if it meant I could tour the world in a band! You must have had a lot of sex and drugs.

 

:rofl: Aside from vodka, coffee and codiene, the only other drug I ever indulged in was the old Mary Jane. Even that turned out to have its dangers though - one time I decided to have a bit of a shmoke before a gig, had a bit too much of a smoke, went on-stage feeling rather good. First song started and I remember looking down at my guitar and thinking "WTF is that for!?"

 

Anyway, two songs in and I've remembered and getting really into it then launch into a 15 minute feedback solo... Strangely, the venue had emptied out a fair bit when I'd finished and come back to reality. :rofl:

 

As for the women, that's between me and my conscience!

Left school at 17 and toured and recorded with quite a few different bands over the years. Did a couple of albums and a few singles but jacked it in professionally at 25 due to poor management and a dogdy recording contract.

Guitar is my weapon of choice, even though I play drums, bass and one handed keyboards! My style has been compared to Gary Moore/Brian May.

Currently in a covers band, although don't look quite as good as 'Take Me To The Pub's' (Thats how I used to look!). We're playing Thin Lizzy, INXS, Cheap Trick, Stereophonics, Beatles, Eagles etc etc.

Good to know we have some fellow musicians among us!

I gotta say. as I forgot before that I have big ambitions of creating something very different? I like to experiment by fusing dis-similar music together. I have a great track that I thin k any of you might like called "Man in the Corner" and its a fusion of D&B and electro rock. Sounds good and others who have heard it think so too. I wish I could link it somewhere and let you hear it and see what you think.

i dont play anything but my best mate/worker for me is in a big band that are very up and comming they have just sigend a big contract with sony :shock:
