​@@maxgutierrezzzz adult life I guess people all have shit to do, I've never met people that want to do stuff like this as well. Every band I've started feels like it's just me putting in the effort, it's not to say that things are impossible but I feel I'll have to move to one of the cities to find people on my wavelength. I'm mean I'm 29 people my age are settling down and getting mortgages it feels like a pipe dream sometimes.

[@krashd]

@@monotoneunknown9555 You can still be in a band, most tribute bands you see at your local bar are a bunch of 40 and 50 year old men with families and jobs whose hobby isn't playing with trains or playing golf, their hobby is meeting up once or twice a week to jam and occasionally play a few cover songs at the local pub if they feel confident enough. Being a rock star can be a hobby, just like anything else.
