I started a band in high school. We were called guppy. We had the potential to be really good, but all of our band members thought it fun to play different instruments then they normally play. for instance our drummer was actually a bass guitarest. He was one of the best bass players i had heard, but not that good as a drummer.
A funny story, it will show how trendy our school was. We opened at a small sized local show called stanley-palooza. So being we opened not to many people heard us play. Its probably best though because we were terrible. A couple of weeks later, I was driving with my new girlfriend (at the time, was one of the worst girls i ever dated) and her friend. Somehow the band was brought up, I have no idea how. But her friend said how much she liked my band...surprised by this I called her on it. A dickish thing to do I know, but I thats besides the point. I asked her what her favorite song of ours was, and obviously she didnt know any of our songs. We only had 2 or 3 anyway. Then I told her we totally sucked, but I appreciated the attempt. A lot of the underclassmen were like this, asking when we would have shirts out and other stuff. I mean we sucked, there was no question, they just wanted to fit in.
Looking back I realize how much of dick I was.
