Guitarist Wanted for Alt. Rock band (grunge)

matthayward

Hi my names matt, I'm a very dedicated musician. Recently I wanted to start a new band, but very serious about the work.
I wanted to find a guitarist (i play guitar and bass and sing myself) but for this I wanted to concentrate on singing and writting.

So I wanted to find someone to chat to and get the ball rolling with some riffs and vocal melodies before finding other members. My style would be pure 90's alt. rock. Bands like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees etc. I'm looking for someone around 18-20 but a year or two off is ok. I'm based in South Dublin.

As I said, I want someone who is very dedicated to their music and can take it seriously but still have a laugh! Someone who has a good voice for harmonies and stuff, a bit of Jerry Cantrell kinda feel to things would be great too.

Main Influences:
Alice In Chains, Temple Of The Dog, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Mark Lanegan, Green River, Mudhoney, Kyuss, Green Apple Quick Step, Jerry Cantrell, Chris Cornell.

Other Influences:
Black Sabbath, Butthole Surfers, Cream, Melvins, Lynyrd Skynyrd and alot of blues, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Collective Soul and alot more...

So you're looking for a guitarist?I think I might be a good candidate.I love stoner rock and grungy alice in chains type stuff.Mad into Kyuss and QOTSA (Josh Homme is the greatest guitarist in the last 20 ****in years), Fu Manchu, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Clutch, Desert Sessions, Mudhoney, 5 horse Johnson, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin, motorhead etc.

I also have a weakness for fantastical dragon-themed power metal but that's neither here nor there.

Basically if you're looking for monolithic riffs that could crush planets I'm your man.

Im looking for a pure Alice kinda sound, with quirky acoustics, strange harmonies etc. I try to stay away from the whole speed/thrash/death metal thing... it would be more 90s alt. What age are you?

Whiskeyjack

I'm 21, not really interested in playing metal, that was just an aside.But I probably wouldn't be into the acoustic stuff.

EDIT-when I say not interested in metal, it's thrashy tight sounding stuff I mean, not that I don't like it, but I figured you'd be more into stoner/grunge stuff.

matthayward

well not all acoustic obviously, if you take a lsten to the first track on my myspace you'll have the idea, kinda quirky harmonies and stuff. email me and we'll chat about it
