Hey, I'm up for that - been looking to start a new band but I thought I might as well wait until I get to university now.
What do you play? :smile:

Yeah musically I have a massive range of interests from Metallica to B.B King and everything in between, but all the bands you just said I love haha. Especially Avenged, Synyster Gates is the man.

That's cool, don't worry I'm not sexually or musically biased, as long as it's fun and everything :biggrin:

Tbh I thought Download looked quite lackluster this year, Sonisphere has looked badass the past 2 years though :biggrin:

So what will you be studying at uni and where are you thinking of living? =]

I'm going to be studying Journalism and hopefully staying at Storthes halls :biggrin:

I live in Manchester so the odds of me being able to commute to Huddersfield every day are slim haha, that's also a good thing from a band point as I have loads of contact numbers for venues in Manchester where I used to frequent with my old band :biggrin:

Nice

I was going to go to Storthes halls but decided i prefered Aspley.

Well im from Hemsworth its about a 40 minute drive away but id rather live at the university, have a bit more freedom than if i lived at home.

and well ill tell you now i never played gigs with any of my old bands becuase they were shocking haha, the other members never took it seriously which drove me insane, a lot of people have also been sexist about me being a girl drummer and thats probably one of the reasons they never took it seriously :/

Yeah, that's why regardless of if I was studying in Manchester I would still be moving away from home.

That sucks, I would say I have a healthy balance of taking it seriously and knowing when to have a laugh haha, and don't worry - if we got to that point playing live is brilliant, the euphoria of playing in front of 20/50/100/300 people overwhelms nerves and stuff.
I hate all that macho band crap, it's you as a person and your skill with your instrument that matters, not whether you have boobs or balls.

Yeah - I've only ever played in one talent day competition and that was back in school when I was 15 or something haha
How long have you been playing anyway? =]
