Error 404: Band not found

One of the biggest dreams of a heavy metal fan would be to crank up the distortion and play before a huge crowd with a successful band.

And forming a band, let alone a successful one, is perhaps the most tiring, teeth grinding and mind numbing activity for unlucky people.. like me for example :|

Just when everything falls into place, you realize that the Murphy's law is somewhere around the bend. *i am a strict non-believer of this particular law, but over the past few months, my opinions are slowly changing :s* Guitarist has the flu, drummer has an exam, bassist has a code red situation with his girl friend, all this boils down to no jam in the end. So much for trying to make things happen.

So this is what you do, to make your own band:

1. Start when you are 5 years old, and try to learn to play drums, bass, guitars and do vocals at the same time, that way, you don't have to give a flying fuck to other band members :D

2. Get your girlfriend into the band. So she won't feel 'left out' xD

3. Make simple songs at first. You try to complicate things, you are digging your own grave.
(^ that is some honest advice :|)

4. Dont paint your face white and black... and behave like those black metal lunatics. No one buys that in India xD

5. Be anti-religion, anti-government, anti-shiv sena and anti-'whatever-you-can-think of' but DON'T be anti-woman. The feminists will impale your band like a bunch of goats and let you hang on stage like how Gorgoroth do it on stage. :P

6. Lastly, don't name your band something like, Death Insanity, Death Monstrosity, Blood and other body fluids, Kidney eaters etc. It sounds like those Z-grade horror flicks and sometimes even cheap pornography titles :|
