Amen, Eric. :thumbsup:

Got a place or two here that have killer open mic nights. I've even gotten to play a time or two, myself. It's a real treat. Saw a knockout show recently...

The girl singing had this ethereal, bell-like, just entrancing voice ~ right up until the moment when their song went from something like 'Dreamboat Annie' to 'Five Finger Death Punch' with all the growlin' Cookie Monster-vocal qualities. It was so shocking and wonderful. Original bands kick azz. :thumbsup:

Don't really know any but my nephew was in a band when he was 14, namely Dysfuntional and they did a few gigs in Sheffield with other local bands.Some were ok, I went to a few of the gigs, they soon fell out though. My nephew still has guitar and drum lessons, perhaps he will start another band?

I used to run sound for a local band in my area of northwest Ohio.
A few of my favorite bands have been local/regional. drinker A lot of hard rock/metal bands. :thumbsup:

Then again if you think about it, most bands that made it big did start off in some sort of local scene...just saying.

Yep Scoob your right then Mr Cowell came along with all his manafactured C**P and boybands and now the tossers with no musical talent what so ever have a unfair advantage on bands who actually write their own songs and play their own banjos. Oh how I hate thee Simon Cowelll!
