I can has band!?

Hello again, after a good night's sleep.

Today we had a sports day. I'm not the most active of people (not that I'm fat, I'm just very very lazy) so I wasn't paying much attention. What did catch my attention was Charlie organizing a band. Most definitely consequent of the lunchtime jams we've been having recently (well, actually 2.)

So, here's how it's gonna be - me on lead guitar, Dan on rhythm guitar, Charlie on bass, Glyn on drums and Harvey singing. We're all capably musicians but there are a few issues with the line-up. For instance, this may sound harsh, but Harvey isn't a fantastic singer. He's a little too shy when it comes to his singing voice and isn't able to belt it like a lot of professionals and amateurs can. However, he has got some emotion behind it, just like a lot of average singers do. Myself, I don't share the same taste in music as Charlie or Dan. I do with Glyn and Harvey, although Glyn listens to techno crap and death metal whilst Harvey listens to both - and everything else. Charlie and Dan aren't into classic rock songs and bands.

I can understand Dan's reasons - he isn't exactly a dedicated player. He almost sold his guitar last year and nearly gave up, for Christ's sakes - but Charlie I don't. I mean, he's been playing guitar for a good year or so now, and he still hasn't appreciated real rock music yet. The whole root of guitar's passion, in my opinion, lies within the deep chasms of rock 'n' roll, yet Charlie finds the bold idiocy to look rock in the face and say weird things such as "I think it isn't bad, but it's just not as good as indie rock".

WHAT!?!?!?!?

Indie rock isn't bad, I admit. It has got peaks. But how... how... HOW can you compare that to rock? I mean, it's like comparing Paris Hilton to Susan Boyle for Christ's sake! Sheesh. Indie rock never has blazing guitar solos full of inspiration and emotion, and isn't full of catchy riffs and musical understanding. Rock is. And that's why I love good ol' classic rock so much.

I don't think it'll hinder the band too much though. And we've agreed to play a few times together in the pods to get comfortable before we actually get half-serious about it. It'd be pretty embarrassing to start a band, then announce that we've split up a few days later because our musical differences were too hard to overcome.

Anyway, I'll be on here tomorrow. Notice how consistent I'm being? *Pat on the back.*

Bye guys.
