My dad is my drummer (he has played since he was 12) and my mom Loves it. Brothers make sibling fun about it but they can go to hell.

Well, my Dad is shocked because from his side of the family, records show I am THE first person to show any musical interest for 70 years.


same here! apparently no one in my family has any musical talent so they just don't do anything with music. that's why i'm kind of the weird kid cuz i show interest in music and musical instruments....

Im not in a band, but my parents are super supportive. When people come over to jam, my mom likes it. My mom likes green day and nivirvana, so she likes our music and she never cares about volume. My dads a pianist, he doesnt really say anything but he buys equipment for himself and I can use it...like the mixer. Cool And he jams with me whenever he can. He will play green day with me sometimes... when hes in a good mood. So yeah, my parents are really nice.

Yup, its the same with my family, i've tried teaching my brothers stuff but they can't seem to grasp it. My whole family seems really supportive of my band, giving me lifts to pracites. My grandads bought me my first electric guitar so their quite interested. They've not seen me play at any gigs yet though, the first time they will get to is at my brothers 18th in just over a week. Very Happy should be fun. my dad's renting a smoke machine for some reason...but im not complaining woooo

My Mum has the occasional complaining session.

My 2nd guitarist's Dad has some fucking awesome guitars, and I guess he would be happy.

My bassist's parents are buying him a left handed bass, and they sound like they're being nice about it.

Drummer wise, the drum machine's parents were a coffee machine and an mp3 player, which means he's fucking brilliant and an keep going all night. Although we have a few human drummers.


i heard mavericks were crap.

my family thinks im just creating, writing, and recording noise. the only one in my family who really appreciates my band is my brother in law, Chris.

well, they don't say it out loud, but it's clear that they think we suck (my mom and dad are both song teachers). Ha ha..
