nullmoon 784 Posted June 12, 2013 Heyyy! I was wondering if anyone here is from the Birmingham area in the UK? If so, how would you feel about starting a band? I play bass, mainly covering Dir En Grey, and i'm a little sick of not knowing people who want to play stuff by Japanese bands! I have 0 experience when it comes to being in a band but I thought this would be a fun discussion in any case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyura 465 Posted June 16, 2013 Yes, I think you shouldn't start a diru cover band. I mean. Covering Dir en grey's songs plays a huge part in global warming and costs the tax payer a fortune. And on top of that... it could be fun. D : 1 Gizorz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nullmoon 784 Posted June 16, 2013 Damn, i never thought of that what was i THINKING?! XD The request has actually changed to a standard J-Rock band covering anything along the lines of Alice Nine, Vamps and Plastic Tree. A guitarist has stepped forward. Any drummers or vocalists out there in the area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kai_desu 340 Posted June 17, 2013 Yeah cause there aren't enough DEG cover bands Yeah cause there aren't enough DEG cover bands Guys, no need to be dicks. If OP wants to cover DEG songs more power to them - not your concern if you're not going to be a part of what they're starting. , good luck finding some band mates in your area~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
relentless 254 Posted June 19, 2013 If you wanted to do a Dir en grey cover band, I would suggest trying to stay within a certain period of the band's discography just because they've changed their tuning and guitars (now 7 and 8 strings) so much that to be able to play all the tracks you want, you may have to have multiple guitars on standby if you're going to do any shows. If I were to ever do something like this, I would choose their Macabre / Gauze material to play. Not because it's my favorite (it's not); but because I would have the most fun playing tracks like Deity, 304 Goushitsu, Akura no Oka, and so many others.
