thumperbob 2002 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Once in a blue moon. New songs sorted on soundcheck. Hate hate hate rehearsals. Some band members love it. ( least experienced ones. ) Sinatra used to hate rehearsals too and if a take took more than one he would want to murder someone. Bit like me. Practice 2 hours a day. Love that.

crez5150 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Isn't that what gigs are for.... rehearsing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The band I'm with are just getting the set list together so aiming to practice once a week. I only joined 5 weeks ago and we've practiced 4 times so everything is fairly together. I should imagine if the set list is relatively stable then once we're gigging and happy practices may become less frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 [quote name='Michaelg' post='1133168' date='Feb 19 2011, 10:49 AM']it depends whats coming up. we've rehearsed for 2 weeks straight before, other times its only been twice a week. we try to get in around 3 days/nights of practice together a week. the rest of the time we practice on our own (yes we do this full time).[/quote] Seriously???? I've never played with a band that has rehearsed that much. I've always had gigs to do instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 When we need to. We put a lot of work in early on & now we just meet if we have new material or a few gigs coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK Jale Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Singer into mic: "Here's one we haven't done in a while." Translation: not since I joined. Me: lifts eyebrow to guitarist. Guitarist, out of side of mouth: "G." Long pause. "You'll be fine." Rehearsing solely on stage does fine-tune the antennae, I have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
