Frustration with people

[thor01]

Hi,
Might seem like a wierd thing to moan about but its really frustrating me that I'm trying to find these musicians to play with who I can connect with and who like music I like, to start a band, and on all the musician sites there's no one who wants to do a similar thing, or seems like the right person, in the area, or in any area, and I don't know how to find them outside the internet. It really makes me feel completely alone, and like its hopeless to find what I'm looking for, like there's no one on the same wavelength and its getting to me because I want to do it so badly. It feels like its affecting me in a bad way, and I'm always thinking about it atm.

I know what you feel like with the musician thing it really hard to find decent musicians online. You either get people wasting your time or pro bands wanting to continually gig & want everything on their terms. The music scene where I am from is mainly what is popular or trendy type bands i.e. goes in scenes like death metal, Indie, etc. So it hard to find musicians who what to make similar music to me.

Where you live is there any music colleges or shops you could put ads up? What is the local music scene like where you live?

Yep, the same, I hate the trendiness.
I have put adds up in 2 music shops. I also go to a music college, but there's no one on my course who I really want to play with, I might put an add up there though.

Good luck finding musicians.

Thanks
I had a friend at school who about 4 years ago was practically on the same wavelength as me as a person and musician. I used to jam with him all the time back then. Him at that time would be great for what I want to do right now, but he changed. I asked him if He'd like to jam again sometime today in an email, and he said no. It really hurts when I think about how he used to be so into playing music and now he's not. I feel like I can never find anyone like he was 4 years ago. Makes me feel depressed, and alone.
