leschirons Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I used to laugh at "World class lead guitarist wanted, ideally 14 -17 years old" I've stopped laughing now as there actually are some out there these days. If I look at the ads now, I find myself muttering an optimistic "oooh" when the ad reads, bass player for 60 + old farts pub rock band [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 This guy has been looking for a bassist for close to a year now.

Annoying Twit Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I had a quick look, and up popped this local duo wishing to recruit a 'rest of the band'. It somehow puts a whole new meaning to the term 'the kiss of death'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s5DnwlzNbQ Edited October 6, 2014 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1409340014' post='2538880'] Management and label interest brings the cynic out in me! [/quote] Oh yes. And the manager then ask us to play for free in exchange for royalties...only for the singer to be signed and dump their manager along with the royalties agreement.

scoobystig Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think more annoying that all that, is the adverts put on by someone who makes out they are so desperate to be in a band But then doesn't reply to any of their messages We are desperately looking for a singer at the moment and so are trawling these sites daily but to no avail We have had a couple of replies, one from a singer who lived over 20 miles away but had no transport and so assumed that one of us would go and pick them up !!!!!!! Another replied and said they had no kit (jeez how many singers have a PA) but they literally had nothing, but was willing to buy a mic if it worked out !!! FFS are these people serious Anyway. Any one know a good rock singer in Swindon, who can strum a few chords if needed but not essential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm probably a daft noob, but is there something wrong with lending a mic to someone who is starting out as a vocalist? Besides, if it turns out that thwy learn that they're no good ir would save them buying a mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 For me it's;[list] [*]Were a start up project [*]Where are all the good bass players? ( when it's a start up project with nothing to offer and they want everything from you ) [*]We plan on gigging no more than once a month [/list] Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 "Label interest"= Send us a flash drive with your 'demo' on it, great source of free drives? could have a sideline selling them....... Sorry I'm an incorrigble cynic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm not talking about people starting out, these are singers who claim to have gigged for many years in bands And in my opinion yes, no one lent me a bass guitar to find out if I was any good, if you want to do a job you buy the tools to do that job http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Shure-SM58-Dynamic-Vocal-Microphone-with-Boom-Mic-Stand-and-6m-Cable/C39 Certainly was a lot cheaper that I what I had to invest in when I first started Edited October 7, 2014 by scoobystig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMX Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Frustrated chasing leads, meeting a couple of times, almost getting a rehearsal sorted, only for someone to say they can't actually make it to the studio. Even more chasing up and it all goes quiet. Edited October 7, 2014 by HMX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
