any of you play in a band too? (any style)

I used to, like mhhh, 14 YEARS AGO!! OMG

Which be U grandpa?

The one with the blue guitar. I never got to be a great performer but I used to compose pretty well. The other guitarist and I composed most of the stuff.

We were pathetic on the stage (4 persons standing still).

Why did you stop?

I was having a composing rush and the band wanted to stop it and start performing live with what we got. We had quite a few arguments, and finally I told'em to fuck off. I was also dating my future ex-wife, that probably had something to do with it too...

After that I started working as computer programmer and never formed a band again.

But I played the guitar and sang in church like for 5 years! If that counts as something! :)

Epilogue: The band continued quite a few years (They renamed it from "Delfos" to "Selidor"), they changed the vocalist for one of the best singers I've ever heard and they almost go famous, but the singer left the band and then they dissolved. They managed to record 2 albums before that, and they were pretty good.

The band name was Selidor, the albums are "La costa mas lejana" "Destellos en la oscuridad". The last one is my favourite.

Hmmm.
I'm embarrassed. I guess I should remove my shit from this thread.

In college (a year ago) a group of friends and I did a bit of improv jamming a few times and recorded some of it. You can find it here:

I think some of the tracks from the second recording is corrupt so I don't know if it still all works. It's pretty rough though was fun to just sit down and play. Btw, I'm the drummer and at the time I'd been playing less than 6 months so it's not very good.
