looking to start and band...

List of worst places to start a band:
- In a stripclub
- In the middle of a war
- On the titanic
- ONLINE

Seriously dude, what do you think are the chances of finding someone online to help start your band. Please don't find this offensive because I mean none.
You have to be able to connect with your band members, your going to be gigging with them for the next few years! I suggest pulling some friends in on the action and at worst, put an ad in a local newspaper or music store.

Just my 2 bits anyway, no offence intended.

This guy is 16 and doesn't really have any experience in this area, so I wouldn't take his advice. There is nothing wrong with looking for other musicians on the internet. If you're willing to travel, I would jam with you. I'm going to college in MN (for music, guitar more specifically) so I'm not really able to go anywhere right now. Get back to me if you want.
