Yo,
I'm a 31 year old guitar player, looking to form a mostly-original metal band (the band is starting to take shape - now prioritizing finding a bass player; but feel free to reach out anyway if you play something else).
If the band is down, I'd also like to cover some anime/video game music and metalize them to a degree (check out Animetal USA for reference - the Chris Impellitteri/Rudy Sarzo lineup is the one) + maybe a metal/rock cover here and there.
But mostly this is about the original music; write/record an album, play shows, etc.
I've been playing guitar for 18.
5 years - I have opened for Steel Panther, Unleash the Archers, Steve Morse, Sonata Arctica, Metalachi, Ne Obliviscaris, and a few other notable acts while touring the east coast.
Musically, I tend to fall somewhere between the 'thrash' and 'NWOTHM' subgenres of metal - examples of modern influences would be Havok, Skull Fist, Gallow's End, Steelwing, Warrior Path, Hatchet; and old school: Paul Gilbert/Racer X, Dio, Megadeth, GNR.
I am generally the sole composer in my projects, but I am not opposed to other contributors (I don't really write lyrics, however).
My writing process is to compose the songs on guitar, then tab everything out in Guitar Pro, and then send it to the rest of the band (I can provide other formats if you don't have/use GP).
I may include drum hits/bass lines in key places, but generally your instrument's contribution would be up to you.
The band will be vocals, bass, drums, and maybe a second guitar (if you have backing vox and/or keyboard skills that would be sweet).
Not interested in a full-time keyboard player, but some of the covers might necessitate one, so I'd be interested in having guest musicians on those tracks for live shows.
Shoot me an email if you're interested and tell me a bit about yourself (incl.
any samples if you'd like), and I'll reply with some examples of my the demos for this project.
