Is starting a band worth it /mu/?

if it becomes successful or you really like playing music ya

do what i do, record the album solo. then show your band mates how to play each part live and make really cool sets that are pleasing to the eye
it depends what your ambitions are and who you're playing with. if you've got a strong vision of where you want to take your music you've got to be playing with very likeminded people or it's not worth it and you should stay as a solo project imo.
do what u wanna do though
is anything worth it
no. learn ableton and take a singing lesson. bands are dead. find a producing partner if you want company.
People tell me move to Nashville or LA.
Any thoughts on why?

This is pretty much what I'd recommend. Bands are dead, learn multiple instruments, compose music, hire folks for live sets.

Nashville was really big in the 70s, and there's still lots of musicians there, LA has an okay music scene.
No matter what you have to move to a city.
Sure, could be fun

What if I don't have drums?
>>61308706
drum machine or program them
>>61308706
if you dont, I just got samples off of freesound.org and organize the the sounds according to the metronome or something
>>61305767
Do people actually wanna do this tho? Most musicians think they're special snowflakes with their own visions. I wouldn't wanna learn some other douchebags songs and just play live with no musical input.

Thank you, Justin

as side projects yes, all of impalas line up for example consist of members of pond and GUM

Yeah sure, if you're touring the world people will be into it. If you can barely even book a gig who is gonna go to all of that effort tho?
>>61305767
Thanks, Trent.

friends. I always have friends to help me perform. I'm not saying that its better that way, but that's the way its been for me because I had no friends or people who wanted start a band until I started getting somewhat recognized. Bands that are tight nit and are close are hard to come by and should be greatly cherished. that shit doesn't come easy
>>61305767
God bless, Butch.
