Okay, I've been in and out of quite a few bands lately, and for me, it seems like I won't be happy until I get into an 80's metal band. Well, I've been thinking, do you really think theres room left to have a new 80 metal sound out there? I know thats what I want in a band. No question, But I really don't know if there's anywhere to go with it. I've also been working on a solo effort, an instrumental. I guess I'm torn between using my work towards a cool band, or just finishing my instrumental. Shitty times for finding a good singer by the way.

There are a few 80's tribute bands around here but thats about it. They have been around for a really long time.
I am contemplating the original acoustic open mic night types of gigs. There are plenty of them around here.
I can't wait until my band starts gigging again to promote our newest CD. -
Seriously, I'm thinking of just moving on by myself, with the instrumental work. I really like the sound of a real singer and a really good band behind it, but I feel like I'm being completely shadowed by people who just want to copy whats hot... I will always do what I want on guitar, but I really hate that not many will get to hear it....Comment

I've given up completely on making music for anyone but myself. I'd love to do a Masterplan or Evergrey style band, but around here nobody would give a shit. Besides, I'm married to the only decent vocalist I know. She could sing anything, but she just wants to do folky acoustic stuff. Life sucks.This electric phase ain't no teenage craze -UFOComment

These guys are a lot of fun, but it helps to be members of well known bands under the wigs: http://www.myspace.com/metalskoolComment
