Got any musicians here? - Blu-ray Forum

QwikSand · 07-10-2008, 02:58 PM

I've been playing guitar for 23 years since I was 9, and singing for a while as well. I don't do anything with it professionally yet but I am working towards restaurant and party 'gigs' for extra cash.

So who plays what and what have you done with it?

sssick · 07-10-2008, 03:45 PM

I played the trumpet from age 9 to 18, and I haven't done a dame thing with it.

I am a harmonica player. My recent accomplishments are performing the National Anthem twice for the Memphis Riverkings hockey team, and a guest appearance on "Enchantment" from Jon Dillard's "Get Right or Get Left" CD.

Guitar for about 6 years, bass for about 2 and Drums for about 10. Trying piano at the moment.

Love them all (but the drums are my main instrument)

Trying to teach myself Mandolin....... David Grisham I am not........

Been playing the sax (tenor, specifically) since 1990. Tuba since 1993. I was a tuba/conducting major in college in 1996 & 1997 before leaving college altogether (long story).

As for what I've done with these... aside from a few years in Drum & Bugle corp playing the contra, nothing!

broganreynik · 07-10-2008, 05:35 PM

I've been playing guitar/bass for over seven years, and drums and piano since I was 9 and 5 respectively. I like to sing, however I suck hard.

mrgreed202 · 07-10-2008, 09:01 PM

I played the organ for a number of years during High School. But that got expensive. I fiddle around with a guitar from time to time.

I bought my left handed guitar two weeks ago and I'm currently going through the finger-tip blistering, getting-to-know-you stages of teaching myself.

I fiddled around with my organ in High School (sorry couldn't resist the potty-humor)

buckshot · 07-12-2008, 02:54 AM

i played one for about 6 years (stopped two years ago) and i sucked at it lol. its in my closet probably rusting away. i also played guitar for a couple years, but i ran out of time to play so that went by the wayside. maybe ill pick it up l8er but i'd have to get a new quitar since mine wasn't a great guitar to use.

katharsis · 07-13-2008, 02:02 AM

Guitar for about 16 years, been in a few bands, nothing major... mostly NYHC style music.
Haven't really played for quite a few years now.. just no time and the interest in that kind of bands over here is somewhat limited. Damn I miss going to concerts!

Did the drums a little bit and would love to do some more, but we live on 2nd floor in a 1 bedroom and its hard to fit a full set in there... so I am hoping once we move into a bigger place that there will be extra room or a garage where I can set it up nicely.

JasonR · 07-13-2008, 02:03 AM

I have played guitar for 14 years. I wasn't doing anything with my Stratocaster so I gave it to my nephew. I prefer my Martin when I have the time to play anyway....

Little more "new-school-ish" than AF. At the time sounded more like Refused, Abhinanda early Ryker's mixed in.
I remember one show in Heerlen (Netherlands) at a tiny tiny club (probably built to fit 150-200 people, but more than 300 were packed in there) and Damnation AD just starting playing when the mob got so crazy that they just jumped the stage and broke the singers leg !!! Ambulance, cops and everything but a continuing show after that.

Never got to see AF live... Blood for Blood I can imagine everyone going wild.
Last good Hardcore show I've seen in Hawaii was Hatebreed in 2003 which had a pretty wild pit (of course most of them local military kids getting their anger out)

I am definitely hungry for more!
