I've decided on a name for my eventual band, One More Day. Why? We're magic, baby! We don't have to explain it!

Midwest players, I'm down with joining a coastal band.

I've got a local buddy as well that'll do Expert Guitar or Expert Drums as needed.

Hook me up with two other GAFfers and we're golden!

I prefer either Guitar or Drums. I'm slightly better on guitar usually, but out of practice right now so its probably about equal.
 
Just a reminder to those new to the competition that I'm not going to be forming bands -- that's up to you. Check the OP for potential bandmates.

I'll only form bands after the competition starts for those who haven't yet done so themselves and will do so near-randomly. Don't let it come to this! :lol

I don't know, random seemed to pay off for me last time.

Depends on how much time your band wants to put into practicing the songs each week. Last time, some bands were meeting up for multiple mult-hour sessions each week, others only had time to play through the songs once together -- either way's fine. The hardest part is getting four people to coordinate, which is why I suggest hooking up with people from your time zone.

And as an M's fan, I now have to change my pants, thanks to your avatar.


Sweet -- well, that was easy. I was paired with Jesiatha last time, though, so let's wait for a bit to see if another PST drummer comes along
but Jesiatha totally rocks
.

You're welcome.

Well, I guess if anyone in PST wants to play maybe on weekends or something let me know. My GT is BlueMaxMB and aim is SuperSkaHero.

Also do you need Gold to play online? Cause I have a silver account and my GF plays drums and would be interested in playing.

I can cover Bass on Hard. I'm learning Guitar on hard but I'm not good for more than about 10 or so songs.
 
I'm back for this. Honestly, the last competition seriously improved my play on drums - I went from being OK on medium and alright on some hard stuff to being able to do most things on hard. Now I'm switching between expert and hard for almost everything except the hardest stuff, which I just play on medium for score/overdrive getting purposes.

As long as you are signed in with a Gold account, she can sign in as a Guest and play. She won't be able to user her Gamertag though.

I pretty much stopped playing Rock Band shortly after the last BotB due to being frustrated with the imperfect drum kits, but I'll drag my kit out for this.

Shout out to my fellow Coolshade Drivers. Best of luck to you. :)

EDIT: Oh, expert Drummer, EST.

Could I perhaps suggest bumping up the start date to something closer than April 14th? Say, April 11th? That's still a pretty long time to spend waiting for the first songs to be announced. I would assume that everyone who would have interest in band battling will be able to get organized by this upcoming Friday. It would also give us the weekend to play.

He's a real life friend of mine, which means he's going to be playing locally on my PS3. That's not against the rules.
No thoughts on a name, yet?

I'll start throwing some out:

Three Hours of Sunlight
The Candle Makers
Exodu5's Local Band and That Other Guy
Plastic Knuckles
Those Guys With Instruments
The Playateers
Masters of Delusion

I could keep doing this all day. :p
But, seriously, I don't care what our band name is.
 
OP's updated again.

bluemax said:

If you don't have Gold, yeah, you can't play with others online. You can still play with just a local offline band if you can find another two members (or even if you can't).

I'll add you to the OP if you get Gold.

Yeah, actually the 14th was a typo that never got corrected. >_>

The first songs will be announced on April 11.

Just a question, how do you start a band with online players? Do you just use band quickplay or something?
 

Lonestar

I joined for Erin Brockovich discussion
I could join as a drummer, futile, though probably just as Medium as well. I can do a few songs on hard, but it starts introducing more advance bass pedals...and I'm not there yet :p

Yep.

XShagrath and I have a band started up. He's got Expert Vocals, buddy on Expert Guitar, me on Expert/Hard Drums. Just need a bassist! (and a name.)

I don't like playing matchmaker, but you should hook up with that other PSN UK band that's forming now with PirateSean and captainflimflam.

Plaid, as opposed to what my location says, I'm living on the East Coast right now!
Fixed, but tsk, tsk. :D
 
hmm, i suppose i should join again.

Stabby McSter (GT: Stabby McSter) - Expert Guitar, Expert/Hard Drums, Expert Vocals

This time I'll be a bit more open with the instruments I play.

And plaid, our guitarist is local to XShag, not me.

Sure, I'd be up for another go. Hopefully we can figure out a more regular meeting time. :)

Does the Unnamed PS3 band (The Jer, TheExodu5x2) need a expert level drummer? I can play after around 9:00 PM central time most nights (but not every night, gotta life 'round here ya know).
 
Well Plaid, you never added me to the list of players looking for a band, but I'm out. I have to be in Vegas for a week and won't be able to travel with my xbox.

Good Luck everybody!

I can sing most songs on Hard. Im interested in participating if a band needs a vocalist. EST time zone.

Alpha_eX has agreed to join us.

That means we're (still unnamed) now looking for one more member, preferably a Guitarist or Bassist, since Vocals and Drums are the preferred choice for 2 members. Must be a fellow European due to time zones.
 
Onemic's joined Saerk, duderon and I, so we've got a full band now. Only thing missing: a bad ass name.

This sucks! I apologize about neglecting to add you, but I hope that you'll join in even after having missed a week.

I'm pretty sure they've got a drummer already
but I'd still prefer this ...

We still need to recruit an expert bass player for Intense Flavor. We're all EST, but will probably be playing evenings (9pm+ on weekdays), so maybe even a CST or MST might work.

It looks like we already have a four man band, with two members who are expert drummers.

Also, it looks like we have a lot of drummers among the PS3 players.

I fit that bill. Can we set up a time to jam?

I was talking to Kestastrophe about having him join, and I think he's in. If not, we'll gladly have you.
 
I'm not very good at this, but here's some possible band names off the top of my head this morning:

Dirty Journalists

The Cold Feat

Missing-Hyphens

The Carpal Tunnelers

GRYBO Lives!

Gamgee's Gaffers

Also: Now's probably a good time to start thinking about what song we want to request for our first week of competition.
