don't play in the style of anyone else, combine whatever you like and make something new and innovative. if your buds don't like what you like you have choices:
a) play with them and be miserable for the rest of your mortal life
b) play with them for the experience and find a different band later that suits your taste
c) play with musicians that like what you like
d) play by yourself
i'm not an expert lol that's just what came to my mind.
i play by myself right now *sigh* but i would love to have at least a parter in crime.
