Anybody here in a band, or WAS in a band?

I was just wondering if anybody in the forum was in a metal band. Feel free to post links to your bands' site or what not.

However, there is ONE exception:

I hope you guys are all aware that nu-metal is not permitted. METAL ONLY! However, if you are in a hard rock band or something close to metal, feel free to post. (Nu-metal isn't metal anyway)

To get started, I was formerly the guitarist in a power metal band called Soul Distortion. We've released only a six-track EP entitled "The Realm of the Inhumane Manner" and a couple of demos and what-not. I don't even know if FYE or any other music outlets carry them anymore. We were more of an underground band who recorded all of our material in our basement on a crappy tape recorder. Anyway, in our short-lived time together, we had somewhat of a larger fanbase than the average underground bands we've performed with.

Anyway, that's the story of my venture in a band, and, in my opinion, the best.

Have fun!

I've played drums for the last 15 years,I was in a band at one time.Nothing serious,kinda like a garage band but it was a blast!

I was a singer for two years (from 1990 till 1992) in a DEATH METAL band. First our name was PURGATORIO and later VULMENET but i dont think anybody know about this two bands. We only released a demo tape but nothing profesional of course, just for fun lol.

I have never been in a band, but I was a roadie for my friend's punk band ("Rubber Baby") during the mid-90s. I helped lug their equipment, handed the drummer extra sticks when he needed them, and set off the confetti cannon during their grand finale. (And I also drank as much as I could for free, hahaha.) Does that count?

Actually, I didn't call it nu-metal. It was called nu-metal for the heaviness of the music, when in actuality, nu-metal is more related to its cousin, alternative and/or grunge. It came into popularity after Kurt Cobain committed suicide (poor bastard), and some said that when Cobain died, grunge died also. And that's when so-called "nu-metal" was born...

Thanks a lot, Korn! You Suck!

Actually, That demonstrates a DAMN good point. Punk is definitely metal (oxymoron, anyone?) as it provided the basis for thrash/speed metal, so punk can also be added. I am indeed a punk fan: The Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols, and my FAVE, The Misfit

So I gather the rule is: if you like it its METAL, if not it is not. Well my other passion is collecting 80s disco, so I guess it is METAL too

I was just demonstrating a point of fact. What do you think influenced Metallica's speed? Get the facts straight!

80'S DISCO!?

I sang in a few "basement" the early 90's:

OOZE PUPPET
DAMN HAPPY

recorded some spoken word material with gothic/inustrial band SUTURE SEVEN for all 3 of their cds...

1989-1998 Bass & vo-kill. All Axxess was the name. We recorded some cheap demos along the way but nothing really organized. We recently came across quite a few DAT taped live recordings & are thinking about mastering them & putting them on a playable format, a CD. We have been jamming lately & have talked about re recording everything & adding some new stuff we are writing now & see where it goes from there. We all have good jobs now & can afford all the cool equipment we could'nt afford back then, but we are all married now & have houses full of kids, so who knows?

James Hetfiled said that it was the L.A. glam scene

80'S POP IS GREAT! (but I can't stan 99% of the hair rock scene )

Back on the topic: No, never.

The 80's disco part was not related to the Metallica statement. The punk thing was. Wasn't disco already dead in the 80's?

Well, maybe not to Metallica, but it was for Exodus and Slayer -- Ultimate Revenge for Disco '85

"band" is too strong of a word. Me and a friend joke around with his 8 track. After exams, we may draft in a drummer and bassist and play a gig, but as it stands we're not really a band so much as two guys with an 8-track and some tongue-in-cheek songs.
