My band broke up recently (2 months ago) 3 out of 5 members lived together including me for 4-5 years. #5 lack of of enthusiasm got us. And lead singer ego. And we each paid thousands of dollars to pay and play in LA plus recording costs. working over time. We were tired and needed space. A lack of success hurts when ya try so hard… with no big results. The one time we made money as a band for a show, I was handed a $20 bill and I was pumped. That was the profit for each of us
Hey man a bit late but if u want fuckin UNREAL tone from this box let me know, ive spent time modding this thing. No pedals required ever again 🤘
3. "artistic differences." as soon as I hear that phrase, someone's getting fired. 4. massive egos. We auditioned a bass player who thought he could play bass like a lead guitar. We told him to trade fours, at his turn he played 32 bars. That was the last straw.
1. Money 2. Drugs/ alcohol addiction 3. "Artistic differences" 4. Massive egos 5. Chicks Is that about right???
Is it worth being in a band unless there is a lot of money coming your way? First you have to find people with dedication. Than you have to do a lot of work that may never pay off. Than you have to deal with a lot of crazies everywhere. If it was easy everyone would try it. Probably most jobs are easier than being in a band. No one gets "money for nothing and chicks for free."
hahaha great advice man u forgot to mention one type of guy ...the one wants to live the life of a rock star but doesnt want to put effort on it
6. Girlfriends
Jake E Lee Didn't do drugs Ozzy said he wouldn't even take aspirin
3:40 i want mine to sound more likw a rivera knucklehead and i know they use KT88 powertubes, what would be the "84" equivalent in this case??
A many long time ago, i was told "you're just the drummer. You dont know what we're talking about." So i learned to play guitar, bass, and piano. I learned theory, and to read. Sight read. so i could speak the language. Let me tell you, it really pisses em off when you know what they're saying. Its like being around people who dont know you can understand what they say behind your back. And in many casses better than them. But instead of embracing that, and using it to an advantage for the band...no, no, no. You're just the drummer.
100% right. I'm the drummer, arranger, know music theory better than any of the members, run the rehearsals. We had a keyboard player with a really good tremolo until we found out he had to have a few swigs of vodka to slow down his DTs so he could play tremolo. Fired.
Im a drummer. I have heard way too many times in some form from Some premadonna singer or guitar player "How come you know how to read music? You're just the drummer".... You wanna break up a band? Talk sht to your drummer.
Treating the drummer as if they're expendable, or stupid,
or fatal, because I'm the drummer and band leader.
check out the Vox V268 Ultrasonic guitar ......... i want to do the same thing with a tremolo box
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the info!
144 is rejected by Bandrew. 😊
Drugs and egos from trust fund babies broke mine up (late 80s)...impossible to get signed as a metal band back then, too many and it was on its way out. FInally....a contract. Was over as fast as it happend. WIthin months 2 dead from dope, 3rd was on a booze binge, ex wife shot his nuts off and bled out .Sold my gear off havent picked up an instrument since then.
That's brutal
It workes well with low tunings like Drop B?
How do you tune to eb or open g
okay, Elric's friend: just get a jitterbug mobile phone or brace for online gambling via smartphone
I think if you’re in a band and the leader refuses to rehearse and learn new material makes the rest of the band bored and frustrated. It is also frustrating for a audience to hear a band do the same songs over and over.
You missed out work commitments. That's the most common one in my experience. Members get new jobs and work different hours and therefore they find it harder to get to rehearsals consistently, members move away to different cities for work/education and are now too far away. I've known stuff like that to be one of the main things breaking up bands.
However, keeping a day job is actually beneficial for the band in the long run. It actually provides a little bit of money in your pocket and provides you with a plan B if things don't work out for you. If anything, one could theoretically reduce their MAIN job work hours to part-time if one can afford it.
@thomasdarnall8912 I don't disagree with you here. I didn't intend this comment to come off like I was passing judgement on people for having work commitments or telling people how they should make decisions in relation to those commitments. I wasn't, I was just stating the fact that it's the most common thing that breaks up bands in my experience. Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting people quit their jobs (unless they really want to, of course).
@@glennartstuffs-freejazzfil4730 No problem man. I'm 41 and I would like to accomplish my LIFLONG GOAL of forming a band myself. I'm married to a beautiful woman and I have a 7 year old Son. I want to do this before I close my eyes for good. I work 40 hours per week. I could squeeze in some time to form a band and use it as a financial safety net to at least give me some food and drink money. I already have some accounting/bookkeeping experience that I feel would be beneficial for the band to balance the finances of the band itself. Routine things like expenditures, payrolls, etc. Pretty much, forming a band is akin to an entrepreneurial endeavor. The same type of organizational structures and strategies would be like planning a small business. Your bandmates are like your partners in this endeavor. Just another way to look at it. So IF my theoretical band does great, I would reduce my hours to part-time ONLY when the financial aspects of the band works itself out. Quitting only when the financial situation becomes self-sustaining.
Can I use FireWire put convert on my laptop to connect this?
Such a beautiful song I'm saddened to see the pain you've endured and gone through over the past decade Elric.
Have you experienced a clipping signal on bypass mode?
IMO the red led lights are wayyyyy to bright
Hi do you still have Evh special that is made in China ?
Unfortunately these days its ALL about the singer. It is the way now in the business. Musicians are all side guys now and hired guns so its unavoidable. If you want a true BAND, that my friend is tough to find. It's not the 1980s anymore where bands were a gang all for one one for all...not anymore.
Agree....that was my era, trying and eventually getting signed. Small family with a dose of disfunction.
0:55 I love how you just let the cat out of the bag in the beginning. It made me laugh, the way you said it. Very True though.
I was in multiple bands and I have played piano, drums and bass. The best thing that I did was to buy an acoustic guitar and started busking as a soloist. I have been a soloist for more than a year and money I earn from busking enables me a nicer life. I will not play in a band as a band member in the next thousand years but I have nothing against being a session musician and a hired gun. I do not have problems with people themselves but the lack of enthusiasm in other band members, lack of leadership and strong conection with music and not playing according to aesthetics of the genres, and singer always being late and some of them not being in 7/10 rehersals is what I experienced with the time passing by. I pointed at all of the good and bad things and I was fired because some songs were not clear to me and I asked someone to count for me when my drumming will enter the song. I should continue being a solo acoustic entertainer and maybe find a singer who plays the guitar too.
My band keeps turning down are jam sessions
This song is still FIRE 10 years later. I really hope you make a comeback, Elric. Cheers.
Well the amp was good, alot of other unnescessary noise...
I'm working on cramming a fuzz circuit into my Mustang, and I've been looking for inspiration videos. This is one of the few I've encountered!
Got one of these last year, now I feel the urge to have a black ec black satin one
wow no samples
I dunno if you know it or not...but you're going bald.
Where are you ? are you alive?
What does a pedel board tunner do that a free app Guitar Tuna can't do? i got another one... What does a $30 pedel board tunner do that a $10 Fender Bullet headstock tunner can't do? WHY DO TUNNER PEDELS EXIST???
here cause there’s no way i’m getting 1400 steve lacy strat
¿America and Mexico? Isn´t Mexico in America? Ohhh you mean the United States of America!!! Because that´s the name of the country, not "America", which is a continent.
Hungaria??
I don’t get it when you said first “they” went to Ernie Ball then Peavey then Japan and China. What are you talking about?
What if youre in a band whos members dont seem to want to put the time into practice or rehearsal ? They actually dont think you need it ! But when you play , the lack of practice shows.
How come he doesn't post videos any more?
ill tell you why dickhead because they are made by Americans in America
Thanks for the crappy fake shredding.
Elric how do you handle when there is conflicts in the songs the band wants to play? I have a cover band going I play bass in and I don't know how to handle the differences in opinion of what we should choose as songs.
You missed Korea. I have a Wolfgang Special made from Korea. Also, the there is a difference in the USA body which is arched and the overseas bodies which are flat.
They are exactly the same. The solid colors still have the veneer underneath. The reason they moved was the Fukushima disaster. The difference between USA is the USA has an archtop, a slanted headstock and 5 layer binding and an actual maple cap.
They do that to commentators too. Trying to learn to stop responding to them.
