yeah it's great to have a group to bounce ideas off of and create with. I used to be in a shitty little high school rock band with a few friends called Ellipsis (singer came up with the name). I was the nervous and self-conscious drummer, we had one great guitarist who knew his way around his instrument but rarely strayed from standard metal riffing, a bassist who couldn't play his instrument and was being taught by the guitarist during our sessions, and a singer who bless his heart, could not carry a tune to save his life. we were fantastic, if it weren't obvious. we actually began crafting a song I had written, can't remember it's name but it was kind of a Coheed and Cambria pastiche? big, alt-proggy thing with shouty vocals and arpeggios and such. anyway, that lasted about three legit weeks, before our guitarist had his guitar sold off by his junkie roomate unbeknownst to him. end that wonderful saga. i wish we coulda made something of it.
