i'm in a tough place too. i started a small punk band with a good friend and so far we're still just messing around and no shows to date. but it's good fun anyway, no bad feelings at all. it's a blast. but the thing is, i want the band to play a few metal covers so that i can show off my soloing(personal thing)and get into another genre in the band setting. i want to hear stuff like Crazy Train coming out of the bedrooms we play in. or Metallica songs or something. but so far we just play punk in the band.
i love punk you know. the energy, the rhythm, the volume, and the craziness of pure adolescent adrenaline. but i'm a metal bedroom player. i can't get my band to play metal. my co-guitarist is interested in playing Paranoid but no-one else is. i'll see what i can futz with to make this work.
any suggestions?
if you don't have any suggestions or don't care, thanks for listening.
