Singer : lost mic Drummer : lost stick Guitarist : losing patience (as usual)

The fact that they all actually showed up to the practice makes this one of the best band practices

I'm gonna tell my kids this was Blink-182

I laughed way harder than I should have. the flying drumstick killed me

Those who've played in many bands know there can be a lot worse band practices than this one....

As a bass player i can say this is what happens when you don't invite bass players into band practice.

It's a sub-40-second video from 15 years ago. Of course it's legendary.

i wish i had a band no matter how good or bad we sounded 😢

I love how they didn't even notice the drummer lost a stick. They're just used to it sounding like shit lmao

This band has the potential of being pretty good. All these guys need to do is make a few adjustments. With a different singer, guitarist, and drummer, these guys could really improve

there's definitely worse.. I can see a future here

You know you grew up in the 90s-2000s when you like this song already and that melody gives you a nostalgic feeling

The fact they all agreed to start over makes this a good band practice

wow. dont give him a mic....good idea.

I can't believe I have to watch an unskippable ad longer than the video I wanted to watch

Keep at it, boys. Every single band goes through this. Practice makes perfect. Pursue the dream.

Not even heroin can save this band.

As a drummer I can say, we're always the reason you have to start the song over again.

They sounded pretty good for a few seconds, and didn't argue about starting over. If you've ever been in a garage band you wouldn't think this practice was terrible.

“WTF IS UP MRS STEWARTS FIRST GRADE CLASSROOM?!”

I can imagine this band on their world tour and in the middle of some huge show the song stops and the drummer goes "Time out, I lost my drum stick." Hilarious!!!

Getting three people together to agree on a song is a nearly impossible endeavor

16 years ago just threw me into an existential crisis

The algorithm likes to push old videos after so long

Honestly just give the guitarist a pick, give the vocalist a mic, get the drummer and guitarist to synchronize, and tape the sticks to the drummers hands, and they'll be good to go.

I've heard a band that's worse than this band, and I'm in it

I love these OG KZfaq videos. Hope you’re doing well man

If this is the worst band practice ever, I must be from a different dimension.

I got that beat. 3 weeks after I got my first guitar, my bass player buddy (who had years experience) wanted to start a band. I told him no. I hadn't even learned my first chord yet. But he badgered me and insisted. Like a young, impressionable kid I finally agreed. At our first practice I fumbled through a bunch of power chords and just as I thought I was getting the hang of those, they decided they wanted me to sing, too. I protested, but they hit me with the peer pressure and I finally said okay. They setup a gig for that very weekend........... less than a week after our very first practice. We did the gig, it went about as bad as you'd expect, and then the band RIDICULED THE SH*T out of me. "You're awful. Why are you even here? Jesus you suck. You ruined the whole thing. You are out of the band!" Quickly I realized that might have been their plan all along. They cooked the whole thing up just to embarrass me. THAT is the worst band practice ever.

My first band practice, I was drowning the singer real bad with the drums so I boosted the volume of the mic so high that there was an insane feedback it was so intense the owner of the space came in to ask us if we were okay. Also, when the singer asked me to "put it down", I put the microphone on the floor. Today I'm a pro sound engineer :)

This is somehow strangely nostalgic for me

The guy who said “start over”, did it with such elegance and gesture that you could feel the class right there, it’s almost as if he was no less than Paul McCartney, what a professionalism in his craft, he is all in, fully committed! Such a poor performance by the drummer will not be tolerated in here! - you can read it in his eyes.

For about 4 solid seconds, it actually sounded really good. Edit: Apparently, I just started a war .

Drummer here, been to more band practices than I can count. The trick to solving the dropping the stick problem is actually not “don’t drop the stick” but to have a big bag of sticks within reach to grab and not miss a beat.

i don’t know why this showed up in my feed but it’s adorable

There's definitely potential, the singer seemed to have a pretty good melody and the drummer and guitarist just need to work on syncopation. DONT GIVE UP!

Gentlemen, I can safely say, from the vantage point of having been in a few bands over the decades, that I have heard MUCH worse than this. Keep going, keep playing, keep practicing, keep learning, and at some point you'll post a video on KZfaq that will have people saying, "That ROCKS."

Has the vibes on the mid 2000s

What? That was good!

Technique level 1000: the guitarist plays the first chords with his thumb, holding his pick with the index and middle finger, and then proceeds to play the rest with the pick. Perfect switch in dynamics. The drummer is fucking awesome with his stick tricks, and the singer...that's a hell of a high ass falsetto. Mad props to the boys.

I really liked the bands earlier work in the first 10 seconds of the video but their career in the last 24 seconds of video really went down hill. I would like to have seen them live when they were first starting out. They were def underrated and should have been more well known. I do hope they tour again, at least for the die hard fans.

The thumbnail reeled me in. The video did not disappoint

The fact that I am getting this reccomendation now 15 years later is amazing lol

No hate to drummers. My drummer does that too and I find it hilarious, not failing. At least have another pair so you don't have to get up

If you’re in a band where everyone isn’t playing their own random thing and just gets right into it then that’s already an amazing rehearsal

Man 2008 seems like an eternity ago now

This is video of when bad seed was transitioning into title fight

They rocked the fuck out of that first grade room

They're doing something creative together. That alone makes this practice good enough in my book.

This is amazing. The camp singer, the interesting guitarist and drummer make this a great rehearsal

Nice singing style pure 2000's nostalgic tone

And that is what practise is for.

Question! Where's the bassist?

The mark of every good drummer is that he only has one pair of drumsticks.

16 years ago,,, algorithm bringing out the golden oldies

wym bro this is choice

This is pretty civil if I’m being honest. I’ve had practices where band members are throwing their amps at each other whilst screaming.

I don't want to start to imagine what my life would be if KZfaq didn't recommend this vid to me after 15 years!😌🙏

I can attest that this is far from being the worse band rehearsal ever. The best thing about my band in the early 2000s is that all our recordings are saved on a Zip drive, within reach but forever locked away.

I remember my junior year in high school. I was the bassist in my band... We were shite... Senior year came, and I realized I was better at vocals and found out my friend Sergio was better at bass than I was. We found a new drummer, and our guitarist had gotten a lot better due to practicing. Man, the difference was night and day

This sounds like the start of something good actually, the vocal melody sounds great

What song is that?

As a Captain Beefheart fan, i like this

keep it up guys. i didnt start playing guitar until i was 24 and had never been in a band till 28. I have a terrible ear cant read music or usually dont know what key songs are in but now i lead my own band with guys who are way better musicians than i am I also do solo acoustic/one man band gigs full time for a living now! practice and persistents pays off!!! keep it up

My ears just filed a lawsuit against me.

The electric guitarist playing chords with his thumb did indeed take me back to the early days of band practice just as excellent as this

I dont know if you have kept doing this but this was fire start anyway. I would not even know how to handle instruments or vocal tones. Start over indeed

Honestly my band started out almost the exact same way but we were a 4 piece and after months of practice we became moderately good and yeah so keep on practicing.

Still my favorite song to this day. Lost my virginity to it, song at my wedding, and even played it for my kids in the womb. Divorced now, and the kids wont talk to me anymore. But you guys rock and keep me looking towards a future as rad as this song! Fuck yes!!

I don't even know why, but the ballistic drumstick absolutely kills me every time.

Dunno but I really like this video. Good old oldschool KZfaq :)

It’s like lost footage of early nirvana.

10 years later they would look back on this as their 2nd greatest practice.

Sounds about like the first band I was ever in:) I love it.

16 years later this shows up on my feed and I just fell off he planet laughing.

This is just avant-garde emo. I love it.

they arent the worst! there are even worse can happened to me in early days lol. our drummer was a taxi driver, so he barely shows up... he had to support his family... vocalist was ladies man and her girlfriend stuck with him all the time. when she busy her phone calls and messages ruined our practices many many times lol guitar guy was our bandleadwr and manager. he did eveeything for us. eternally grateful to him. and finally i, bassist - melancholy mofo lolol those were the days \m/

Are they practicing in a fucking preschool? O.o

I hope that they go on tour, someday.

Oh man this brought back some memories. Although I believe we always at least had a mic.

This is actually still the early stages of a band where people don’t feel pompous and entitled after being told they’re decent, and actually CARE about what they’re doing.

Take a screenshot from any 2000s coming of age flick. Looks like a band that would play in an American Pie movie.

Damn, old school 🔥

Better that 100% of pop groups

It had me laughing like mad when he lost his drum stick, so thanks for cheering me up!

These are the bands that end up turning out to be the best bands

Cherish this dudes. It's the best time when we are starting out.

I wish this era would come back

yes, the comments are right, this seems like a decent band practice. Try one where everyone is high and/drunk, or only two people show up, or everyone shows up and there is a fight, or everyone is late, or it’s late so no drums, or someone brought their girlfriend and it’s distracting or an amp breaks, or the power gets knocked out or the cops come because you’re too loud or everyone keeps playing whatever they want and not focusing. Guess what I’ve had all these band practices :)

Had many of those practices in my early days...trust me when I tell you that it gets better as you go. Another bit of advice: When you're playing a live show...never stop because of a mistake, keep on going just like you never missed a beat. If you stop because of a mistake...it makes that mistake that much more noticeable.

This is still one of my favorite videos of all time

Practice makes perfect

as a 20 year musician of mainly bass and drums, this is potential. granted it's 14 years old now, but this is how the greats get their start. This could have been the next Blink or Green Day. and just a heads up Mr drummer man: I've played for years, and even with all the skill in the world, you will always still lose a stick once in awhile and us as drummers are almost always the reason the song gets started over lol. Much love and respect boys.

This is not the worst practise ever! I love your sound! Keep going

better than 99 percent of what's being played on the radio in 2023

the flying drumstick got me

It's ok. 6 months of practice and I would gladly listen them live. I actually like his voice. Sounds legit and honest.

“Just keep practicing, you’ll be rock stars someday!” The Practices:

What's even worse!! Seeing a 20sec long ad for watching worst band practice of 34sec 😌🙁☹️😑

Wait till you see our band practice
