Problem in my band!!!

Me and my friends made a band but it's not the music right now that is the problem but it's the fact that I'm left wing and they are right wing and I don't want to sound like hitler but I just fell I can't play till they are a little left wing.

 

wow...okay. use some punctuation, please. aaaand make a little more sense...

but, anyways. you can't change people like that. it's not right. just because you don't agree with them, doesn't mean you can't be in a band. just don't ever bring up those kinds of issues. if it gets too much of a problem, leave the band.

simple fact is, you can't change people.

 

I would quit that band.....right wingers don't make for good musicians

How the hell can you be right or left wing at age 13 and really know what that means?

Anyway, I play in a band in Columbus called the Guinea Worms and we are a-political.

 

yes please, use proper punctuation and grammar.


You're in a band to play, not to discuss politics. Why are you worrying about this shit anyways? You're 13, go have some fun and jam with your friends. Politics are for later.

its gonna be hard to have a band with people you can't totally click with, i suggest that though you are keeping this band now, don't close the door to chances to find other band members. and if you do, slowly, distance yourself from going to practices with your current band, or tell them right out how you feel about the situation. bands are supposed to be fun.

 

Because in a band, politics can have an influence on music. I just try to not worry about it. Most people around here don't like government, the rest are government. Pretty much all are anti-gay rights... but I don't worry about that.

 

^^na, they're all just againt old people

 

if you like politics so much, quit the band... but i'd say fuck it. politics shouldn't get in the way of art.

 

1. SORRY for the bad wording.
2.I know About left and right wing because I'm not blinded by the lies that i'm told and if you don't think I know what the words mean then lisen to this a Libertarians support a great deal of liberty and freedom of choice in both personal and economic matters. They believe government's only purpose is to protect people from coercion and violence. They value individual responsibility, and they tolerate economic and social diversity.
Left-Liberals generally embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but support central decision-making in economics. They want the government to help the disadvantaged in the name of fairness. Liberals tend to tolerate social diversity, but work for what they might describe as "economic equality."
Right-conservatives favor freedom of choice on economic issues, but want official standards in personal matters. They tend to support the free market, but frequently want the government to defend the community from what they see as threats to morality or to the traditional family structure.
Statists want government to have a great deal of control over individuals and society. They support centralized planning, and often doubt whether liberty and freedom of choice are practical options. At the very bottom of the chart, left-authoritarians are usually called socialists, while right-authoritarians are generally called fascists.

Because in a band, politics can have an influence on music.

Yes to whom who said this that's of the resoning behind me and they are O.K. guys it's that they do things that........you know........not hate......But you know (i hope) a like........god I sound like bush at the debae (ha ha ha).....A little bug I guss I can call it. that just you know the right thing you sholud do but it's just a worry I guess i can say.Well I'm comeing over 10/9/2004 SAT. to talk and maybe play.And there O.K. guys but I guss it's I'm very very right or not right and I bevlive in somethings they do, do is just whrog....like one time they had some drinks and had some left in it then throws it up in the air then it blows up on the street. then a good time later not to long but you know I think to one of them about it and he tryed to say that littering is not a big deal. And inside I was just blow in 100 parts and felt like shit a day and some of the next day. Godish I don't know????

 

Also are band name is Coquina is's a real word it's a rock made up of something I forgot right know but remember it's found in the south!?^@

 

I've been in and out of bands for the last 25 years. I would tell you that the bands that gave me the most satisfaction musically were with people who I did not see eye to eye with. My current band has been together in one form or another since 1989, and I do not know the political affiliation of any member of the band. I do know how well they play, sing and write. I am a registered democrat, and other than the last election when I was registered as a Green Party member, I have been a democrat all my life. Most of my friends are registered Republicans. We have good natured arguments.But I don't forsee them changing their veiws. Nor do they see me changing mine.. People might not always agree with everything you stand for, but that does not mean you can't have friendships with those you disagree with..or a great band.

 

Thanks but I can play it cool for most things in my life but I don't know well I'm going over to there hosue today at like 1:00 PM (I'm in columbus,Ohio).

 

Its cool that you know so much about politics as such a young age. I wish I did.

 

pink floyd, does your band play at that comic book shop that has shows....it seems to be all teenage bands...

just curious.

 

when i was 13 i was realy into politics (marxist) but listen dont let politics get in the way with music, the other kids you play with proboly dont give a fuck about right or left wing, they just might want to play..every think about that?

 

politics plays a part when someone in the group wants to turn it into some kind of national front type band with racist attitudes...

 

Hey,

Greetings from one Columbusian to another!

It's been said, but don't let the political disposition of the members of the band stop you from playing with them... however, if their disposition ALLTOGETHER disagrees with you.. then that's a problem...

Consider what it is..

 

I think you are talking about MIDGAURD they were closed I think it's because and I was only told this by the guy who owned it that someone burned up something...I don't know but they know are doing show but only like yearly or something

 

O.k. when I went over they were flameing ass holes.
well the music is just pissing me off right know like Scoot play Gutair and is a new generation crap ass rock band like person. Jason is a some what like me but he likes all kinds of music and I like old 60's early 70's hippie rock ,man and well when we were playing THEY just play this crap ass load shit then like 5 min. into it I left and went to go play Mortal Kombat 2 on the SNES with Jason older brother. Godish I don't know what the hell I shound do??????

 

why don't you get a new band? It's what I had to do...
