I still say this is impossible.

I've never really been in a band. I might be playing guitar for a local group. A friend of mine wants to start a band, and seems to think that the fact we have very different musical tastes (he hates Nirvana and thinks Dragonforce is amazing) will make it an awesomely diverse band. I think it'll make the thing fall apart in no time.

I'm just recording stuff on my own right now.

Bands. My friend, actually I don't know what he is anymore, used to come over and play music. Well actually it would be like:

Me: Let's play something.
Him: What do you want to play?
Me: Music.
Him: I don't know what to play.
Me: Just play something on your guitar.
Him: But what should I play?

It would always end up like that and we'd end up printing out tabs for him for a song. And then I'd like:

Me: Let's play some pillows.
Him: But they're a japanese band.
Me: So?
Him: I can't sing japanese.
Me: I've been singing this whole time.
Him: No.
Me: Why?
Him: Why do you only listen to japanese music?
Me: Because its good.
Him: Whatever dude, whatever.

Maybe I just need to find a differnet guitarist.

Or stop listening to bands that are Japanese only if you live in America and expect to be in a band with people you didn't meet at an anime convention.

I do listen to American music sometimes. But very rarely. I just need to find a different guitarist.

Well, it just seems like you can never say what song it DOES resemble, and then when you do, it's really off.

Since Very Ape is in fact a song, I'd like to think that's a pretty good reference. Some Sex Pistols song however was a little vague.

I am well aware of the song, my point is that it's a bad reference.

I'm in the process of trying to create my own band. I found a pianist and I myself play guitar. I'm trying to create something in the vain of Weezer/pillows, :P

keyboards are a step in the wrong direction if you're trying to copy weezer/pillows, aren't they?
