Guitar and Drummer looking for a third which means bass. We have been practicing for about two months with plenty of material i have had been writing for about a year with enough material to last a few albums. The things is we like to get a bass player in asap so we can start playing shows after we learn 15 or so songs and record something by spring.So if interested we can talk. here some influences Guided By Voices, Apples in Stereo,Wilco, Lemonheads,Ramones,Superchunk, Beatles, Wipers, radiohead,R.E.M.,minutemen. Pere Ubu,DEVo.and so on, thanks for reading.

Here I go again. I am a experienced bass player with lead/backing vocal ability that is looking to FORM or JOIN a ROCK COVER BAND that is developing and doing material from the modern era, the 90's, the 80's, and the 70's. I have Pro Gear, Pro Abilities, PA Equipment, OPEN MINDED MUSICALLY, Excellent Team Player and NO EGO, and Substance Abuse Free. Ideally, I would like to find a lead guitarist, a rythm guitarist, and a drummer, where all four members would split up the vocal duties. PLEASE READ THE AD CAREFULLY and RESPOND ONLY IF YOU have SIMILAR GOALS. Contact niocuasimstan@live.com or call (CELL) 440-829-5996.

We have recently formed an original project called X FACTOR in the vein of......well......US. We all have PRO tribute band backgrounds as well as original & cover music backgrounds. We have 2 full PA's, PRO recording gear, secured rehersal spot in Cleveland, (near Old Brooklyn), etc. We are in our 30's, but look(& sometimes act)in our 20's.

We understand that in order for people to come to our shows to hear original music, we have to throw in some covers, so here's a few bands we're covering:

JUDAS PRIEST "RAM IT DOWN", "PAINKILLER"
THEORY OF A DEADMAN "HATE MY LIFE", "BAD GIRLFRIEND"
SKID ROW "I REMEMBER YOU TOO" (PUNK VERSION)
KISS "C'MON & LOVE ME"
LOVERBOY "WORKIN' FOR THE WEEKEND"
AH-HA "TAKE ON ME"
SLAUGHTER "MAD ABOUT YOU"
NICKELBACK "SIDE OF A BULLET"
JOURNEY (NOT SURE OF SONG YET)
TESLA "MODERN DAY COWBOY"
GNR (NOT SURE OF SONG YET)
WASP "WILD CHILD"
CINDERELLA "SHAKE ME"
DOKKEN (NOT SURE OF SONG YET)
PAT BENETAR (WE ARE REMAKING "HELL IS FOR CHILDREN" AS A SINGLE RELEASE)
NIGHT RANGER "ROCK IN AMERICA"
PRETTY BOY FLOYD (NOT SURE OF SONG YET)

You get it... All of these songs are in their original key/tunung and are performed as close to the originals as possible. Though we are covering a lot of 80's music, our original material is not geared toward that. I,(singer/songwriter), write a lot of different music styles & sometimes it comes out rock, sometimes metal, sometimes pop, sometimes country-ish, whatever. I try not to limit myself I guess.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A DRUMMER IS:
___________________________________________

- SHOWING UP ON TIME FOR REHERSALS / GIGS
- THE ABILITY TO HEAVY HIT AS WELL AS APPRECIATE A GOOD BALLAD & BACK-OFF WHEN YOU NEED TO.
- LOVE OF MUSIC
- WILLINGNESS TO "PUT IN YOUR TWO CENTS" WHENEVER YOU WANT.
- DRIVE & DETERMINATION TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
- CRACK-FREE!
- WILLINGNESS TO LEARN THE COVER MATERIAL AT HOME AND HAVE IT READY FOR REHERSAL.

WHAT WE WILL DO FOR YOU:
_________________________

* PROFESSIONALISM
* I WILL NOT BOOK GIGS ON LIKE MONDAY OR TUESDAY UNLESS IT'S PLAYING WITH A NATIONAL ACT.
* WE WILL NOT ASK YOU TO DRIVE THOUSANDS OF MILES OUT OF TOWN/STATE FOR LITTLE OR NO MONEY. IF WE GET A GOOD OFFER, WE'LL DISCUSS IT AS A BAND AND MAKE A DECISION.
* WE WILL COME TO PRACTICE READY LIKE WE ASKED OF YOU.
* IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY, WE WELCOME & ENCOURAGE THE WIFE TO BE INCLUDED IN WHATEVER. WE'RE NOT IN A BAND TO GET LAID, WE'RE IN A BAND TO SUPPORT OUR MUSIC HABIT.
* I WILL TAKE CARE OF MARKETING, BOOKINGS AND SCHEDULING SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, THOUGH IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH IT, YOU'RE WELCOME TO.
* I HAVE NATIONAL BAND CONNECTIONS WITH CLUB OWNERS & BANDS' MANAGEMENT, SO I USUALLY GET DIBS ON LOCAL OPENERS.

Fell free to e-mail me if you have any questions or are interested & I'll shoot you my phone number.

Thanks For Your Time,

X FACTOR

Hi! I'm a serious conga player/percussionist and singer whose interests include Santana, Los Lobos, Latin funk, the late Tito Puente, rock & roll, etc. I would like to find a lead guitarist and keyboard player to start working on a song list and come up with some original tunes. After that's in place, I'd like to concentrate on getting a drummer & bass player in order to play out.

I live in Stark County, but can travel to Akron, Cleveland, etc. If interested, please put "Musician /help wanted ad" in your subject line so it won't get caught in my spam filter.

I have posted several ads in the past, and have gotten a few responses each time, but every time I do, the person is all into it, then just disappears> So i will make this short and sweet:

I Am: 30 (Looking for people around my age, older or younger)

I Am looking for: 2nd guitar (lead, I play rhythm.), melody minded singer, bass player and drummer.
What I've done so far: written songs on my own with the aid of a hired gun drummer. Examples are here: www.myspace.com/ether79

I am also open to: suggestion. what you hear on my myspace are just what I came up with on my own. collaboration from other musicians will change things and add to it!

My influences are: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, The Melvins, The Meat Puppets, Foo Fighters, Local music, anything with a good hook.

Don't respond if: you're going to talk to me about jamming, getting together, then never call again after a while. you're a drug user, alcoholic, or drama magnet. Want to do a bunch of covers.

Do Respond if: You want to get together and write original, melody laden hard rock. (Hard, guitar driven rock with a a gritty vocal but tons of 'hook')

Contact me by: responding to this ad, friending me on myspace and sending me a msg, texting me at 216-978-9581

Ok, that wasnt as short as I had planned, but it's direct and to the point.

Thanks for reading.

Only for the serious musician looking for an original band. I am a lead singer and lead guitarist of an original Cleveland band. I have taken the past year off to right and record my first album and I am now looking for the rest of the members to fill the void. I have done all the instruments in the studio but now need to find the right players for this very original project.

I am in looking for the right rhythm guitarist that can keep up and compliment me or vise-versa and the right drummer with a strong heart. I don't want to waste anyone's time or my own. This is my life and I want to find the right guys with the same frame of mind and dream to make this dream a reality. Please check out my website and listen to the first 2 tracks off the album. These songs are in there final stages and they will give you all the information you need to see what I am all about. The music goes from light to heavy instrumentally but is not like other bands out there.

High energy, late 30's drummer with a lot of versatility, ability to keep good time and quick learning. Have a lot of fun playing and it shows! Very good presence. Play with a lot of passion, pride and perfectionism. Possess a very unique style with the ability to improvise and be creative. Can really jam on the kit but can also pull back. Upbeat personality and easy to get along with.

More of an 80’s and 90’s rock minded drummer. Lifelong influences are along the lines of 70’s rock to 90’s rock......from Michael Stanley Band, AC/DC, Bad Company, Boston, Journey, .38 Special, Bryan Adams, Kansas, Heart, Hardline, Loverboy, Toto, Foriegner, 80's rock bands (too many to list) and 90's rock. Adding in a few classic rock tunes is usually a must, but I stress just a few. The heavier or aggressive stuff is not of interest.

In search of similar minded, high energy musicians in need of a drummer to team up with.

Thanks.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Available for funk,fusion,blues,R&b,Gosple,Jam, band

We are a Journey tribute band in search of a (30ish-40ish age) Drummer. We need a Rock Drummer who can learn quickly. You must be familiar with the music of Journey and be able to get up to speed in short time because, we have gigs scheduled. We have recently undergone a few changes and are retooling. You must have professional gear including drum mics. We have been gigging and will be playing out 2-4 times a month, especially Spring thru Fall. There will be some travel, so owning a PASSPORT is a huge plus or be willing to get one. We are NOT a bar band and we will never do any other cover songs except the music of Journey or Steve Perry's solo stuff. Our set list is always evolving and changed around to suit the needs of the Lead singer. Practices are in Solon every Tuesday at 5:30-6:00pm and run till 7:30-8:00pm. Obviously, if you have drinking or drug issues do not respond. We will be playing Festivals and Fairs as well as other larger venues. Audition songs are DON’T STOP BELIEVIN, KEEP ON RUNNING, and SEPARATE WAYS. So, if you are ready to get in an awesome situation, shoot us an email and tell us about yourself!

Thanx,
