hey im looking to form a real rock band in nigeria. to be called obj and the car thieves, or any funny name we can come up with anybody that can play drums or electric guitars, bass guitars should contact me on 08056026123

hey i'm interested cos am a rock fan too. so how do we start. i can shout very well.

I am interested. But i don't like the name u are suggesting. It sounds damn too cheap in the ear. Lets give it a a very focused name, and hope it thrives.

I am learning more and more as I read the forums on here. I really did not know that Nigerians listen to or like rock groups. In America, mostly white people listen to rock groups and country music . .for it is more of their speed. And African Americans mostly listen to R&B, Hip Hop, Gospel, and Inspirational music. Of course, there are some African Americans that listen to rock groups and country music, but they are in the minority.

This is vey interesting. . . .Please tell me the names of some Nigerian rock group bands, so I can check out the sound.

I am curious. Thank you.

lol! these people are also in the minority. i don't think we have much, if any, Nigerian rock groups. dang, how many people actually posted before dat showed their love for rock music? lol!!

ha ha iice. you mean singing wise or contributing to the forum?

Great. i am a die hard rock fan. favorite genres are Punk, Alternative and Pop-rock. favourite artists are simple plan, hoobastank, Nickelback, Avri etc.

I don't have an extraordinary voice but i am good at writing songs and i want to learn to play the guitar. Any which way sha i love the idea

post me when ur album is out, i will make sure i get one,

i definitely must be a part of this if u guys are actually serious about.
i play drums and i bet u i've gat skills. im addicted to rock and i've been doin some solo stuff myself. but it wont be bad to form a band. . but it ha to be really serious. . .

If only u guys are serious. Today most of the bands came up thru this way. Its not a bad idea as a matter of fact you may be creating another dimension in Nigerian music history if you find a rock group. Ill be glad to support financially if you guys are serious.

yea, there are plenty rock fans in naija! but like ghettochyk said, i dont think theres any rock band. . . just fans and some solo rock artistes. a friend of mine is one too, check him out here:- http://www.myspace.com/dunkishrock

you know it would be awesome if naija came out with its first rock band! in no way are we copying anyone, just showing that we can do anything and be good at it too! if you ask the modern day rock stars who some of their influnces were, they would name black singers like jimi hendrix, chuck berry, prince and a "few" others. and these few others have certainly made a difference in what rock music is. like seriously, i'm so willing to join a rock band. always dreamed of being the little black girl rock star strumming her guitar, and singing her lungs out.

kul, i wish i could be part of it, i'ld buy ur cd anyway, keep us posted

Everybuddy agrees its gon be a gud idea to have a rock band from naija. let our enthusiasm not end there as typical nigerian. Lets do sumthing bout it. If u r really down with the idea and can do sumthin bout it, then drop the guy a line and call him so that sumthin can get started. God help us.

Hey Puker, you're the only one that said somthin about funding,

hey this is the sweetest thing that has ever happened to me, you know to form a rock bamd is not easy , lets get in touch with one another heres ma number 08066085729

i do have songs i have written, they have demos which i made in my friends studio in london so pls hola at youre boy ok

cool, I love rock real good.
I offer to make you guys good tattoos

ha ha. its funny how people think tattoos are associated with rock music/lifestyle. but its pretty cool though. got a couple myself.

ha ha. its funny how people think tattoos are associated with rock music/lifestyle. but its pretty cool though. got a couple myself.

But from all views towards rock, tattoos may not be associated with rock but it is so common among all the stars and so may be well and fully accepted as part of rock.

it is so nice to see so many people respond to this post the band is to be called RESERVE TANK. we are starting somewhere i dont want people to miscontrue this as an avenue to take advantage of others. thanks for your support im moved. like i said anybody willing to be a part of it should call me on 08056026123. thanks

ha ha @ryu1. nail polish on rock stars (guys) is always sexy. and oh, maybe a lil eye liner and some highlights as well. he he

if you need a guitarist,song writer,poet and every thing else in between,i'd be honoured to join the party, i do have some reservations about the name of this band i think that should come after everybody has made an input

simply name it "soulpatrol and the rest of the band" buhahahaha

well Samorijack if we meet and discuss we could come to a compromise cos i just dropped my guitarists he smokes too much why dont you holla at me @ 08056026123 and we'll talk
