LOOKING FOR: rhythm guitarist/bassist/drummer/singer I live in Portland Oregon. I'm 22 years old, and I’ll be looking for musicians my age or younger. The reason for this, is that I'm planning to have this group run for 50 years or more, and I want the longevity to be secure. You’ll need be as proficient with your instrument as Metallica were in the 80s. It won't be too demanding, but it’ll push you hard enough where you'll need to keep your chops up to consistently play it. Also, this will be a heavy touring a band. You look at a band like Metallica, and they have done tours for nearly every year that they've been a band. It'll be worth it, as we'll come up with incredible, unorthodox tours and projects. We’ll try to keep everything as fresh as possible to have it remain fun. We're aiming to be bands like Led Zeppelin. A band that was enormously commercially successful, but was also met with near-equal critical acclaim. Similar to Radiohead, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, etc. we'll dabble in a variety of genres. When we delve into these genres, we'll create inspiring, top tier songs in those genres, as the mentioned bands have. We'll together study these genres to do so Anyway, the band will be formed in two years (2014). From now until then, we'll practice and come up with music ideas. From 2014-2015, we will get signed, continue to write, and record our debut album, and have it released by 2015 at the LATEST. By the following year (2016) or the year after (2017), we will no doubt be amongst the biggest and most acclaimed bands on the planet. This will be the result of revolutionary marketing strategies I am thinking of (we will all pitch together ideas as well), among a variety of other methods.

Re: Anybody feel like joining a band that'll be one of the b So, to join the band, you'd need to meet all of the following requirements: - young - proficient in a variety of genres in two years - have a STRONG work ethic to meet the demands of touring and a variety of side projects we'll be doing - be prepared to stay with the bend for at least 50+ years - have the technical capabilities of Metallica at their peak -have the talent to create a string of classic albums that incorporate a variety of genres. Being competent in a variety of genres may seem daunting at first, but with practice we should all get to where you need to be. The constant tours and projects may seem daunting as well, but when you realize how it all works out, you’ll be pretty OK with it. In fact, a good chunk of that project time will be be fun projects that we'll all plan out. Too many times have we heard bands break up, come to near-break ups, or continue with strained relationships. I want to minimize that as much as possible, by creating big, fun group stuff that we'll think of. We’ll even work together on projects that’s related to your hobbies outside music.Coming up with anything and everything to keep us a tight unit for as long as possible is the key.

Re: Anybody feel like joining a band that'll be one of the b I hate to be the vearer of bad news zebrak but longevity is rare for metal bands, touring is no longer viable you'd be better off trying to play festivals, it appears that your sole intention is to create a commercially appealing band as such I think you will be doomed to failure, Metallica did not set out to be the biggest rock band on the planet, they started out trying to be the fastest, heaviest, most aggressive band on the planet and honestly they were not any of these things, I'm sorry but you can count me out as a fan if all you care about is making money from this and I will not be the only metal fan who will feel this way

No, no. like I said, we'll be as acclaimed as we have sold records. plus, we won't be a metal band. Think Led Zeppelin. They aren't exactly a metal band..or a hard rock band, or folk, or blues, or whatever. They did a variety of things. Beatles did at least a hundred genres by the time they split unlike those groups however, is that we'll release sole albums dedicated to different genres. Whether it's an EP or not, I don't know. I could release a triple album, though one disc would be Rock and it's various influences one disc would be Metal etc etc the Metal would be influenced by a wide array of genres, too. The one Metal song I'm coming up with for the debut, is influenced by prog metal, sludge metal, post-metal, traditional metal. Off a future album though with full tracks, who knows. Maybe one song would be folk metal, another would be doom, etc etc All in a 10/10 top tier fashion, too.

Re: Anybody feel like joining a band that'll be one of the b honestly I think that is just setting yourself up for failure, pick one style and stick with it, look at all the most successful artists in recent times they all have a particular style that has made them successful. to use an old expression you don't shit where you eat, Michael Jackson, Guns N Roses, KISS, Green Day, Backstreet Boys, Lady GaGa etc these artists although I do not particularly like any of them and only respect one of them, have their own style which led to their success, they stuck to what they knew and never saw the need to extend beyond that, trying to do everything results in accomplishing nothing
