Forming a serious new band from scratch: MEMBERS WANTED!

[Revolution]

Hi everyone,   

I am on the drive to form a new pychedelic rock and metal sounding band with strong political themes as well as with nice sounding melodies! I thus wish to collaborate with some aspiring musicians who take music very seriously, from scratch to make a band that really rocks hard!   

About me, My name is Kranti and I am a 25 year old guy from Kathmandu, who takes music pretty seriously, and had been involved with two bands as a rhythm guitarist and vocalist for 3 years. But sadly both the bands disbanded with their own peculiar reasons and I thus right now am involving myself in making my own compositions! I don't desire to be a member of a bar band or an underground death metal band, but i want to be a part of such a band which creates really original and meaningful music that's gonna strike the heads and souls of a lot of people not only with the music but the lyrics and the themes of the composition too! I am already on the way to make such music since the last 2 years and all I need now is collaboration with the right kind of musician that would make it come alive! But then I dont want to collaborate with senseless junkies, show-offs and drug sniffin' maggots. And please if you have busy schedules and educational priorities I guess this joining this band won't be attractive for you, because its about making serious music with focused minds!   

So does this announcement sound good for you or any other friend who has been longing for the right opportunity and time, then maybe THIS IS IT! Let's work together to form something that is gonna give some meaningful output!     You can contact me via this forum, reply me in facebook at http://www.facebook.com/vkranti or email me at rebel.rocker@ymail.com.   

With high hopes   
Kranti

Too much expectations and passion leads to nowhere mate. Dont you know Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll. You better change your criteria.

Sarthak ( Thermagaddon ) once told me that the best way to find band mates is to use all the passion I have to improve myself so that people will start calling me to join their bands instead of the other way around. I advise you to do the same thing.

you know why the Nepali music scene has not gained much attention outside Nepal? It's because of such stereotyping of music and musicians as a whole! People want to become simply 'Posers' and give very less focus on creating original music! Rather most simply want to feel like rockstars by posing and showing some nonsense styles and habits, like drugs.

There are a million bands around the world who follow the same criteria of 'sex, drugs and rock n'roll, but not even 1% manage to last for more than a year, let alone the dreams of making it big! Besides I have seen much more lives ruined by drugs and alcohol even while they are in bands and even while they have left bands, so what's the point of these meaningless 'cliches'! If music without drugs and alcohol is unimaginable then think about one great example :'Rage Against the Machine'! They never ruined their lives with substance abuse, yet worked on so great themes that no addict would have ever even thought in their most distant of imaginations! And also consider that 'Pink floyd' created most of their great works after they left drugs and alcohol including 'The Wall', 'Wish you were here' and 'Dark Side of the Moon'! So cut the shit out!

well isn't that simply filling the vacancies that are left behind? I also got a lot of such offers but my vision towards sticking in making a new band from scratch is to ensure that some definite aspects that have never been dared or never been tried in this whole region is tried out, or in other words it's about giving a very serious effort to fill a vaccum in the musical scene around this whole region! By the way how would you have expected such vacancies in bands if one or two of the founding members never had tried and worked hard to make their own bands from scratch? So I believe your advice may be useful for many, but not for some and I believe that I fall in the second choice!

\m/, expecting some jamming sessions!

Source?

[Revolution]

^it's pretty easy to find the source in this age through the internet! My source of this information was a rock magazine around 2001! but still since you really wanted a credible source, i have put some excerpts from an interview with Rick Wright(Keyboardist-Pink Floyd) to give you a credible source! Here you go

"Q: The psychedelic music, the Pink Floyd's and also in your album, was always connected to drugs. What came first in your case?

Rick: Factually, we started during the late '60s with the psychedelic music, a period that was known as experimental as far as drugs were concerned. The Pink Floyd were in the middle of that culture, so everyone naturally assumed that we were also doing drugs. But that wasn't the case. In Syd Barrett's case it was, but not in our case. I think that music was our drug. Of course, we all did drugs here and there in social events, but I've tried only once in my life, and it was marijuana, before a show. We went onstage, I think it was in Paris in '68, and I couldn't play a single note. Actually, I did manage to play one note. It's a mistake thinking that drugs supplied Pink Floyd with the inspiration. The ones who took drugs were the ones who came to see the shows.

Q: During that period it was popular to take LSD before the show.

Rick: (lighting another Marlboro) We didn't even think of that. Personally, maybe because of the way I was educated I didn't feel a need. It's true that there are a lot of bands who do that, but it's a mythos that the Pink Floyd did drugs in shows. The most we took was half a of beer

see the full article in this page which was made around 1998: http://www.pinkfloyd-co.com/band/interviews/rww/rwwdark.html

also see the wikipedia article about pink floyd in this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd

and if you are confused even then search in google with the keyword "Pink Floyd drugs"! you will get plenty of articles man! Anyway thanx for the question!

Are you Kranti Ale?

[raskol]

Are you Kranti Ale?

hahaha, that's fucking hilarious... I've been wanting to ask the same question since day 1.

[Revolution]

^No guys this ain't Kranti Ale! This is another Kranti, who is more into hard rock and metal, and is younger too and even unmarried.

[simplysid]

ok, so you got 2 examples. Now where does that fit in with the utterly vast majority of highly successful bands who do drugs? And you should know that many musicians compose under the influence of alcohol.
Maybe you could take in someone who does drugs and try hard and get him/her out of it. That'd be social service too!

[EvilSchemer]

And you should know that many musicians compose under the influence of alcohol.

And YOU should know that many musicians compose without any influence of alcohol.

The OP wants to start a band that's drug-free. Good for him. Whether he finds like-minded people or not is another matter. What's your problem anyway? When did you become an advocate for drug abuse? Are you on drugs? If yes, please stop. Being ugly is hard enough as it is. You wouldn't want a drug habit to add to your woes.

I am on the drive to form a new pychedelic rock and metal sounding band with strong political themes as well as with nice sounding melodies!

You're in luck! I'm a Ayn Rand quoting drummer who regularly plays 45-minute drum solos when the audience least expects it. PM me if you want to form the most metal band ever and burn some churches yo.
