I remember when I lived in Hawai'i, I tried to put a metal band together SO MANY TIMES! I had some friends that could play but they didn't practice hard or were only interested in playing songs that would get them girls. Hahaha. I tried and gave up over and over again for over 5 years. Then I decided to just move to Japan and BOOM! I have had 10 AWESOME bands so far. I've been with my current one for over 4 years now. I hope you can find some worthy players more quickly than I did. :)
