Craigslist Vol. III: This one is amazing[views:20206][posts:75]__________________________________ [Dec 6,2011 7:47pm - nekronaut ""] NORTH SHORE AMERICAN METAL BAND MEMBERS WANTED Date: 2011-12-04, 10:51PM EST Reply to: Reverendtholemew@yahoo.com[ Errors when replying to ads?] NORTH SHORE METAL BAND NEEDS MEMBERS! Me and my friend Jon are starting a pure American metal band. . . and we need some other members ASAP. We have both been playin for about five years now. I play the drums and he's the lead guitarist. Were not lookin for people to"jam" with though. . . were looking for people who are as dedicated to music as we are, and that are serious about startin a band. One day we wanna make a career out of music, and we wanna be remembered for what we do. What we are NOT looking for. . . Young kids who think Metallica is the greatest band that ever played the big stage People who are gonna play for 45 minutes with us and then never come back because they don't GAF People who CANT PLAY A person who won't show up to practice, and won't contribute. . .a band is an effort from everyone whether you play guitar, bass, sing, or manage. . . everyone needs to play a role. What we ARE looking for. . . A bass player (preferably 17-early 20's). A lead singer (preferably 17-early 20's). . . squeals are okay here and there.. but we don't want our image to be all scene bullshit. A rhythm guitarist (preferably 17-early 20's). We have a spot where we can practice in Wakefield called Jamspot. It's a pretty sick place they have bass amps, guitar amps, mic's and all that stuff. . . you just need to bring your own guitar/bass. Practice would probably be 2-3 times a week down there. ..its 25$ an hour or 27$ if we want to record.. and split between 4 or 5 people it's not bad at all. If your serious and want to actually get going, send me an email at Reverendtholemew@yahoo.com.. Ill respond to you within a day and we can set something up. Thanks guys, Jon&Joe |

| ______________________________ [Dec 6,2011 10:06pm - Lamp ""] The "career out of music" part is more than an eyebrow raiser and the fact that there were no influences listed whatsoever is as well. |

I believe that America needs cheering up and my goal is to travel to every city in the USA to help build moral and to re-introduce songs from "crooners" like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and other American Standard Music icons to the youth of America. I've been singing on the streets of Boston, Providence, Hartford, New Haven and even made my to Wall Street in NYC to try to cheer up the folks demonstrating there. Obviously I sing to instrumental tracks for my "street" performances, but my "BIG" dream is to put together a big band to back me up for live events. In reality, I realize what I really need, is a fun-loving, fantastic combo to back me up on songs from The American Standards for live events. If you feel like making the world a happier place through music and want to join me in cheering up the USA, please e-mail me.

| ___________________________________ [Dec 15,2011 5:17pm - Katatonic ""] http://worcester.craigslist.org/muc/2721728860.html Looking for a passionate drummer and bassist for new band (North Central MA) Date: 2011-12-15, 12:46AM EST Reply to: comm-h2wan-2721728860@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] I am Brett, a singer/songwriter who has had the passion for music since the age of 4. I am now 25, and I feel that I have kept my talents to myself for long enough. I rarely have played out (about twice a year) even though I am asked to play several times a month by the people that have heard me. I simply wasn't ready. It's time to break out of these walls and go further than most people ever have. If you have the same passion for music as I do, and the same goals, I want you to join me. Recently I have met a fantastic guitarist. We have a great place to get together and jam for free once a week (along with very secure storage). We are brand new to the scene with fresh minds and are looking to start a band. I'm looking for a drummer and a bassist within 20 miles of north-central Massachusetts who: * Has more passion for music than anything else (aside from family/friends) * Won't stop at any roadblock, no matter how difficult it gets. Understand that everyone starts small and grows to the point of what you set your mind to. There are no limits. * Doesn't dwell on criticism * Sees every jam/practice session or gig as something you set other things aside for. * Can play by ear (Reading sheets is a plus but not required) * Seeks to be creative rather than playing covers all the time * Is willing to learn any instrument thrown at them just because it's fun * Can sing on key (no worries about the quality -- we'll improve on it as a band) * Have written at least one original song (with or without lyrics) * Is between the ages of 17 and 27 (Not trying to discriminate -- I just want to be in a band that performs for many, many years together; music is your life) * Is a gentleman (Again, not trying to discriminate -- I feel that a girl's voice would not fit in our style of music) * Enjoy playing the style of at least a few of the following musicians: Coldplay (huge plus), The Beatles (another huge plus), Radiohead, Muse, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Kings of Leon, Two Door Cinema Club, Train, Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Miami Horror. In other words, no screamo/hardcore. * Doesn't give a shit about possibly becoming the next band to have an audience of 40-year-old virgins * Cares about his appearance (we are going to look like gentlemen, who bathe properly and smell damn good) * Doesn't smoke or do drugs, or have an alcohol addiction * Most importantly, wants to make a living of this. We shall live the dream. We will be famous around the world, and we will share our love for music with people of all generations. This is no joke. We will be a band for many audiences with a clean, unique image. We write our own music; the style of which will be a blend of alternative rock and power ballads with the use of dreamy guitars/keys yet powerful drums. Not every song will have drums, or pianos, or guitars, which is why I would like us to be able to learn other instruments as we grow. If I just described you, we need to talk ASAP. You're exactly what I'm looking for. Email me! Location: North Central MA it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 2721728860 |

| _______________________________ [Dec 29,2011 9:26am - Pires ""] My favorite is "ages range from 15-33". I'd love to meet the 33 year old who's in a band with 15 year olds and actually brags about it. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 9:55am - Katatonic ""] ^ I loved that too. I also loved that no one was the "boss of the band". |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 9:58am - AndrewBastard ""] I was gonna comment on that age gap but PanzerBastards youngest is 27 and KPanzer is 43 so its almost the same age gap... granted 15 years old is still a KID so a 33 year old shouldnt be in the band with someone that age... |
| ________________________________ [Dec 29,2011 10:13am - Pires ""] Wait a minute... First part of the paragraph he mentions he has a bassist with 5 years experience playing shitty music. Second part, he says if no bassist replies, he would "except" a guitarist that tunes low. I thought the ad was for a drummer?? Looks like we have all been trolled by OP Paul. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 29,2011 10:37am - Yeti ""] the saddest part of all, i am willing to bet that the 33 year old in the band is the one who composed that stunning grammar display. |
