How many bands have you been in?

Recently, I've noticed that many of my rock/jazz band's members (myself included) have previously been in other bands before.

I also have many other musician friends who have been in multiple bands in the past as well.

So if you're a musical person, how many bands have you been in? It seems to be a common thing to drift between many groups as a musician to find the one that suits you.

As for myself, I've had two before my current one. The first never really got off the ground (we were a couple of kids in middle school), and the one I formed in my freshman year of highschool drifted apart once one member (a year younger) became busier as he joined us in highschool the following year.

I have been in two bands.

One that my friend wanted me to join.

And one that I put together.

I played Bass for both bands though.

2 Played guitar in one and bass in the other

like 4... mostly during my late teen years... people seem to need drummers.

Just one: a boy band we called Front Avenue Boys or FAB. Yeah, it was pretty epic.

Three

First was in school, between ages 15 and 17, just playing covers. I was the drummer. We were utterly terrible.

Second one was with some friends which was formed after leaving school and before we headed off to university. I was one of two singer/guitarists. It kind of fell apart when everyone went to university.

Third was an acoustic duo I formed with a mate during my final year of university. We were both singer/guitarists, and I occasionally played keys. We played a lot of open mic events, and then did a few gigs ourselves. Again, it kind of fell apart when we both graduated and didn't have as much free time.

None.......but I do some music mixing on my own just for fun..... :)

i dnt know how to play an instrument :(......:cry:

are drums that easy!!! :P

None. I can't even play Guitar Hero properly, so you can see how I lack skills with musical instruments.

I've been in two bands, but the second went through a few drummers while I was in it. Aside from those two, I've jammed with tons of people where it was just two of us. [I play guitar.]

[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]That's okay, you could become a drummer. :PXBebop

are drums that easy!!! :P

that really depends. i have a mate who's an incredible jazz drummer, but I wouldn't call him energetic by any stretch of the imagination.

i used to play drums and i'm not a particularly high-energy person.

co-ordination though.... yes, you sure need that.

None :shock:

one serious band, and one that kind of fizzled out before anything got started, im just about to start playing with some other guys, see how things go, maybe start another one.

None, and I never will be in one. Mostly because I have no talent, vocal or instrumental.XilePrincess

In my neighborhood a bunch of kids wanted to start a band. One kid would play drums, another kid would play electric guitar (this was before I knew how to play guitar), then another kid would want to play to sing and we would have about 3 back up singers, another kid would play a keyboard, and then they told me that I would play clarinet.

So the band never took off and then I learned how to play guitar and try to form a band but couldn't. So I go uno.

How many have I? None.

I was in a crappy nu metal band when I was 15, playing guitar. A about a year later, said crappy band became less crappy and we started playing thrash metal. After we broke up, I joined a grindcore band (guitar again). The gig didn't last long, and a few months later I joined a punk band, this time on bass. Nowadays I have a solo doom/death metal project which is actually just me singing and playing all the instruments.
