I`ve just recently joined a band and mostly my band decides all the song and stuff since I`m new to the group. I kinda like the genre they wanted to be in so its all okey. Ours is mostly alternative rock. How about you guys, what do you invision your band to be in?

I studied piano for a couple of years but I haven't played for ages, and I definitely don't have enough skills to actually play in a band, but if I were to start or join one, it'd be a metal band for sure, since it's my favourite style of music :) I hope it goes well for you with that band!

If I were to start my own band I would like it to be either a rock or heavy metal band, maybe take our influences from bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica. Those are my favourite genres of music.

Of course, if you join a band that is already going, you will have to play the type of music that they play. Hopefully, it is the kind of music that you like. I want to learn how to play the piano. The type of music that I would play would be Bon Jovi, Richard Marx, Rob Thomas, Barry Manilow, Tina Turner, Carly Simon and Linda Ronstadt. I had a girlfriend once who sang with her piano playing friend. She performed standards, like "Sweet Nothing". The piano player wanted to teach me how to play the bass guitar, but I didn't want to. Now I kick myself for not doing it.

Yup.. its totally fun when your able to play instruments as well. I like to play guitar the most but I think I still have a lot to learn. They made me as a vocalist which is kinda difficult at some point but now getting a hang of it.

If I were to start a band, I'd also prefer rock alternative or pop rock. My personal taste in music leans towards the rock genre. And I think the perfect match really is band = rock music. I think a band's stage presence is really enhanced when the music being played is something that has an infectious driving beat. And it's really cool to be head-bangin' :-)

That`S what we`re trying to do as off the moment. Hopefully we could think some really unique songs at some point in time.,,
