UK Fun Band seeks singer and drummer

[blackguard bob]

45 Degrees is our band comprising of an expert guitarist and a hard/expert bassist. We are a progressive UK based band seeking to improve our lot.
The leader is called 44xyzak and he is a warm guy who welcomes any person willing to join us with these goals in mind.

We would prefer our bandmates to be in the GMT zone +/- 1 hour.
They should have RB2, RB1,(imported) +LRB (imported) and at least 200 dlc. Players can be at any level so long as they are 95% min and seek to improve if not yet expert.

Our band plays in the morning, afternoon, evening and late at night every day, so bandmates should be willing to slot into at least one of those zones.

We are sympathetic to the needs of vox and drummers and will not play death metal or metalhead stuff. The leader has about 600 dlc in addition to the basic requirements.

We are currently in Band quickplay but touring is on as are all things possible. We are rockers seeking to jam with like minded players who feel they are stagnating on their own and want a bit of good buddy camaraderie. We don't chat, we play. When somebody fails we help them. Criticism is not what we do. We do not drop out mid way thru' songs and we don't not abandon gigs. No mic is not a problem either.

I joined this band about 10 days ago as a med guitar player so I had to move over to bass. I am now almost an expert player thanks to the leader. If you feel you want to join this potentially great band then add your names below and we'll take it from there.

Just so you know, I am the bassist and have all dlc and am committed to that indefinitely. I don't care what songs you have, you get to play them (but Visions on Expert is a no-no atm).
I have been granted permission to seek fellow players to join us, but it's not my decision who gets in. That is XY44Zak's prerogative.

If we can get a UK foursome going soon all members desires and hopes will be fulfilled. There are no egos in our band.

We hope to hear from you soon. Good times are not a thing of the past. They are just beginning. Join us and make it happen. Today!

Thank you for reading this. Now start writing!

PS: Please not do not contact me (blackguard bob) personally as I am not authorised to directly recruit on behalf of my buddy. Just leave your gamer sig below and my buddy will do the rest.

I could do vox(hard/expert)

GT; Itsjustme Ejz
I'd love to play with you guys :)

@Itsjustme

Thank you for replying. My buddy is away for the weekend but expected to return on Monday (5th) but I'll let him know of your interest.

You're lack of dlc doesn't bother me because you just got the game. You are displaying the right attitude though. That's what our band is all about.

[Itsjustme_Ejz]

@Bob

Okey, I'm not available at the xbox for the weekend anyway, I'll be home at Monday (5th).

Great, first I thought DLC was a "must have" but obviously not for you anyways.

Just add me at xbl and I'll be on at Monday if I cant respond here, that is.

[blackguard bob]

@Itsjustme

Dlc is not "a must have" for anybody else looking in. It is a preference. Our band can play from a choice of over 700 songs atm, Anybody joinging us with say, just RB2 would only have a choice of playing 84 songs.

@the rest of the UK time zone +/- 1 hour.

So when we stipulate RB1, RB2, Lego RB and 200 dlc + it is only to make the experience of playing the more enjoyable for all (potential) members of our band.

Exactly one month ago Andy (the boss) was a noobie to RB but a veteran of GH series. Now he is an expert guitarist/bassist with over 700 dlc and he is keen to get more if his HD can stand it. lol

It is the desire to acquire more dlc, a willingness to improve one's lot and mega FUN, that drives this band.

So please, if there are players out there that can play at any level but without trashing their songs, we want to hear from you.

If you want achievements, GS (we are not a GS band per se) play as a foursome instead of a onesome (is that a word? lol), or improve your difficulty level on your fav instrument (drums or vox) then you could do worse than join our homely band.

I've been searching for this (type of) band for 18 months and I am not about to leave it any time soon and neither is Andy.

Thank you for reading this but please don't lurk. Sign up.

Don't sit playing band quickplay on your own again! Come and join us and feel the difference.

@Bob

Whats your gamertag? I'm home now, so I'm available :)

[blackguard bob]

My gamertag is blackguard bob but any invite to play in the band 45 Degrees would have to come from Andy whose GT is xy44zak.

When Andy comes online and sees me he sends me an invite. That's how he prefers it.

[Itsjustme_Ejz]

Okey bob, I'll add you tomorrow, I need to get some sleep for now :)

OK. That was kind of you to say that about my buddy. If you will allow me I will send you a FR and then take it from there. My GT is blackguard bob.

Hi guys, Im able to post now im back from easter break.
Just want to say I echo what Bob has been saying really.

However, I need to just stamp my foot for a second before we all get too close,
Myself and bob have been jamming successfully over the past few weeks now, some with us as a duo, and some with random pickup drummers, that usually end up with me kicking for various reasons, doesn't take much to figure out why!.

Anyway, our search does continue for all good things right. - but I have to suggest a few ground rules first, - let me explain.

If you join with us, then you will be accepted to the band under the following rules.- You like us, we like you, lets get that out the way first.. - secondly, we like to communicate via email, we find its best way of communicating for various reasons, help, banter, general chat and meeting times etc. - and last but not least, Commitment, we do play daily (several times a day in fact) - our love for music is the same and we want the other members to feel this too, thats why DLC and or imports are important, because playing the same 84 songs over and over can get a bit tedious if playing several hours a day. as currently we have a choice of about 700-1000 songs, and it does make all the difference, so you must be willing to add to your library often enough to make it sustain in interest. - now don't get me wrong, Im not being harsh, nor am I trying to scare you either by suggesting you need to run out and buy everything to please us, as thats simply not true. - if we all bond together then we can work to your own pace of getting DLC or imports, even if you get a couple of songs a week, no-doubt it will unlock the ones we already have and add a few extra tracks to our playlists.

I hope you understand this, as to us DLC is preferd (better songs IMO) than the standard tracklists.

Its better to have a great vox/drummer that we all get on with without DLC, than it is with a pair of clowns that does!. - as DLC is something that can be built on overtime, but personalties are harder to change.:)

Lets hope to see you guys later on for a jam session.

[drakethenoob]

i rolled with bob tonight :D and he's getting good ( couple of times he did 100% on his level ). anyway guys , as u can see i don't have many dlc , but i can always get some with your help and advice. and yeah , 2 in a week is ok for me.

but with this one am not coming here to say : choose me ... am only giving you my availability !

[sfish04]

yeah these guys are great. i played with them for a couple hours today and even though we had a little one with busy fingers :D who unplugged his router during the song i had picked...as soon as his connection was back up he picked the song i choose before.

i will say i didn't expect that and it was awesome of him to do so. i hope to play with you guys more often and hopefully being 6 hours behind you and work doesn't get in the way too much of enjoying time to play some rb with you guys. you guys are great and keep rockin! :)

[blackguard bob]

@SFISH04

That was kind of you to say that about my buddy. I let him know what you said here. He is a swell guy and the heart of our band.

Anyway, FWIW, we did enjoy your company and we do hope to link up with you again.

Thank you.
