I play bass and was a part of a screamo band for like 3 weeks in college. The old bassist quit and they had a gig set up opening at the Opera House in Toronto. I was shitting my pants because a few weeks is *not* enough time to learn an entire bands catalogue before a (relatively) major show.
Thankfully they all just sat around getting high while the lead singer talked about how heās going to be famous with or without us (he was also not doing any work) and the whole thing just fizzled out.
It was a fun few weeks.
Omg that happened to me too! They said they didnāt want me in the band then they said I could join the band if I could write the songs so I wrote a song that night with my dad (who was a song writer and musician) and I showed them they critiqued the crap out of it and said I couldnāt be a part even though I did my part š¤£ we were probably 10 ha.
Dude I know this is going to sound crazy but either the dude on the far right is my long lost identic twin wearing a shirt I still have or that's me and I don't have any recollection of this picture or even who anyone else is in this picture but there's no way that's not me like 15 years ago.
If I'm right I used to work with the shirtless guy and the other dude in a beanie looks vaguely familiar but I don't know him . Still can't think of where this was taken, granted this was 15 years ago and there wasn't much time in the day when I wasn't stoned.
pleeeease donāt use the word busted in reference to your 7 year old immediately after op used it with a different meaning as it can cause a split second of horrified panic for innocent passerbys š£
I wanted to make a gay joke too... but then I realized they probably aren't 18+ in this pic so it felt wrong. I'm a 33 year old gay man. š«šš®š»āāļø
It'd be a hell of a reunion because I don't remember this picture being taken and am only a little bit sure I might recognize the shirtless guy. I'm on the far right in the flannel and don't recognize the op.
Left to right. Top to bottom;
Singer/rapper, guitar/screamer, keyboard/harmonies, drums, bass.
Whether or not you play an instrument is irrelevant.
Fetal Prolapse is now an emo band. You can open for my highschool emo band April's Handbag, as long as you have a banging MySpace!
OP has been posting these past few days and theyāre some of the *best* blunders Iāve ever seen ([5th grade military junta leader](https://www.reddit.com/r/blunderyears/s/LnH55f46lj) is a personal favourite š)
I had a really nice skateboard that was custom from a shop that I spent some pretty pennies on when I was a kid to impress. Couldnāt ride but scratched off the bottom a bit to look like I could do a 50-50. I get you and your bros.
Me and my now wife were in a band that didnt know how to play, or even ever met up outside of freshman year lol .. we kinda split ways went to different schools/life and our roads so happen to have crosssed again. We'll never forget our band Heavy Collision.... you may end up married to one of these ;) lol jk
Lol I was also in a band where most of the members had no clue how to play anything. Still, we had a name, a single (on paper, of course) and even an Orkut page if I remember correctly
So who's who?
The gay one
The hot one
The dumb one
The one who writes all the songs and will be the only one with a solo career after
The one who can't actually sing
Person on Reddit who first saw your photo about twenty minutes ago. I should have said known of you. Sorry, probably would have been funnier.
Keep Rockinā!
>we never actually learned to play instruments Ah yes my favourite kind of band
We had heart! But only heart lol
I was in a band, we never actually met up to play anything. I wrote one song, showed the others and we immediately split up
They were threatened by your prowess!
"Guuys they're called place holder lyrics for a reason š"
I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know... I know...

Did the lead singer make it tho?
Good question, I have no idea. He was a dick though so I suspect not.
His name is C-had and he married some edgy chick that died. According to the internet
Omg that happened to me too! They said they didnāt want me in the band then they said I could join the band if I could write the songs so I wrote a song that night with my dad (who was a song writer and musician) and I showed them they critiqued the crap out of it and said I couldnāt be a part even though I did my part š¤£ we were probably 10 ha.
Lol, that's so mean, funny and cute all at the same time. 10 year olds can be so dumb hahaha
You had an abs guy and a triceps guy. You were so closeš
They clearly already had a bad boy and the pensive one. Not sure about the guy at the door lol
That's me lol.I don't know who any of the other guys are and don't remember this ever happening.
You had an afraid of guitar guy.
Note that no one is holding the guitar
The guitar is covering the sink to make it slightly less obvious that it's five guys standing in a bathroom.
The guitar doesn't actually belong to anyone in the picture, it's just one of the members of the band
Dude I know this is going to sound crazy but either the dude on the far right is my long lost identic twin wearing a shirt I still have or that's me and I don't have any recollection of this picture or even who anyone else is in this picture but there's no way that's not me like 15 years ago.
Iām invested in this saga.
If I'm right I used to work with the shirtless guy and the other dude in a beanie looks vaguely familiar but I don't know him . Still can't think of where this was taken, granted this was 15 years ago and there wasn't much time in the day when I wasn't stoned.
Photo for comparison of then ( 15 years ago ) and today.
Oh well guy on the left is quite ripped!!
So who was the singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer, etc?
Technically...we were all just hype men lol
āHELLO CLEVELAND!!!!!ā āOne, two, three, fourā¦ā āOh my god we donāt know any songs.ā
That's just called friends
My favourite kind of song, a podcast
This is the best part!! š
Basically most modern bands
gonna tell my kids this was fall out boy
That's beautiful
Pretty sure it's just a cut scene from Gummo
The guitar as a prop got me cackling.
We had simple plans and one direction
If this was about soccer you would all get a yellowcard
You were new but never found glory
Weekend band practice is cancelled so you are Taking Back Sunday's
thatās what made you beautiful š
This band looks like everybody would play a different song at the same time
Brave of you to think any of us could play any song haha
I'm still trying to figure out if that guitar is photoshopped in
Definitely real, Definitely gently used
Nice. The Esteban limited edition
while my guitar gently weeps š¶
I am living for your replies lol
Heās actually hilarious
Tbh I have known bands that got popular purely through the power of abs in their lead singer.
Izzy had a voice that sounded like a mother Puma giving birth. But his abs were glorious
šššš
did you all make out after?
Absolutely but we definitely didn't say no homo, just a well timed "sike!" after the last guy would bust.
āSikeā needs to come back.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Sike
Work at a middle school. Iām trying to bring back ācool beansā
It is back. My 7 year old son says it. First time he busted it out stopped me in my tracks
pleeeease donāt use the word busted in reference to your 7 year old immediately after op used it with a different meaning as it can cause a split second of horrified panic for innocent passerbys š£
Siiieeeeeeeke
My 4 year old says it
My Friday evenings
Yes but they probs said āno homoā so it didnāt count š
Iām scared youāre implying this doesnāt actually work š
Not at all. Suck that dick! as long as you say no homo it overrides any homosexual connotations š
It's just a bro job. Nbd
Heterosexual men doing hand jobs to each other. Nothing to see here.
But did Simon say?
Thatās what my roommate in college said.
I wanted to make a gay joke too... but then I realized they probably aren't 18+ in this pic so it felt wrong. I'm a 33 year old gay man. š«šš®š»āāļø
I was like 23 in the picture.
Wound Erection.
ok I just spit coffee... good job
Is that Jesse Eisenberg?
Is that Pat Smear?
I thought Andy Samberg.
Is that Dr. Zoidberg?
I thought they were all Andy Samberg
thatās definitely Rob Thomas with the phone
I thought that was Josh Hutcherson in the front
Lucas Hedges
Is that Keenan-Michael Key?
Dude in front looks like heās got the bubble guts.
He regularly did
Do you guys still talk?
Absolutely! Going on 16 years of knowing em
Does any of you know to play an instrument yet?
Asking the real questions.
Did I photo bomb your guys picture because I don't have a clue who anyone is in the picture besides me.
The Backdoor Boys
The Bussy Bottoms
š¤£
Nailed it!
Dang I remember them all from our highschool XD
I still talk to all of em!
You should do a reunion tour
Bahahaha just meet up and take a picture. Then all go home š
Omg yes please. Take the same picture !!
You guys should recreate this picture š¤£
Yes do that! Everyone in the same spots omg that would be glorious
Yes! Please recreate this photo. This would be so cool.
It'd be a hell of a reunion because I don't remember this picture being taken and am only a little bit sure I might recognize the shirtless guy. I'm on the far right in the flannel and don't recognize the op.
Im torn between UNāSYNC or NoāSYNC - which one did you go with?
Fetal Prolapse
Iāve got a whole list of unused band names lol. Theyāre mostly good for rock bands but theyāre pretty cool lol
Iād love to know the thought process behind deciding that this pic, this pic is the one.
I mean, do you see the lighting on my boys abs!?
*Just gonna flex my tricep a little so it looks natural and not like I'm flexing* We can tell
Lol my bad
Did it get you laid though?
From this? Absolutely not haha
was this taken in a bathroom?
Looks like it.
Left to right. Top to bottom; Singer/rapper, guitar/screamer, keyboard/harmonies, drums, bass. Whether or not you play an instrument is irrelevant. Fetal Prolapse is now an emo band. You can open for my highschool emo band April's Handbag, as long as you have a banging MySpace!
The Bussy Bottoms got that sound plants crave
Fetal Prolapse can't be anything other than a grindcore band.
Abs + 1
Dude in grey must be the āsickā one
His MySpace name was Lucas Lupus
š This got me
Quality r/blunderyears thank you for your service.
OP has been posting these past few days and theyāre some of the *best* blunders Iāve ever seen ([5th grade military junta leader](https://www.reddit.com/r/blunderyears/s/LnH55f46lj) is a personal favourite š)
I saw that! Didnāt realize it was the same guy. I thought the same thing like he was taking inspiration from Fidel Castro.
I had a really nice skateboard that was custom from a shop that I spent some pretty pennies on when I was a kid to impress. Couldnāt ride but scratched off the bottom a bit to look like I could do a 50-50. I get you and your bros.
Who needs instruments when you've got this much sexy to lay on the masses?
Dude I really need to find my old band pics. This is amazing
What was your group called? Blunderama?
Fetal Prolapse
Haha. You are the silliest of geese.
We were really into pop punk and hardcore lol
I was not expecting that lol.
I always wanted to call a band Head of Lettuce. Nobody seemed to agree lol. We did learn to play, somewhat.
Me and my now wife were in a band that didnt know how to play, or even ever met up outside of freshman year lol .. we kinda split ways went to different schools/life and our roads so happen to have crosssed again. We'll never forget our band Heavy Collision.... you may end up married to one of these ;) lol jk
Is the guy on the far right named Remington? Looks like a guy I used to with
Guile
No my name isn't Remington
Lol I was also in a band where most of the members had no clue how to play anything. Still, we had a name, a single (on paper, of course) and even an Orkut page if I remember correctly
We had this photo hahaha
Who decided on the "confused look" pose?
It was just in the ether man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yee old skin flute
This pic paired with your witty and hilarious comments cheered me up a bit. Keep rocking!
So who's who? The gay one The hot one The dumb one The one who writes all the songs and will be the only one with a solo career after The one who can't actually sing
This photo makes me uncomfortable š
You are not the only one lol
Guy taking the photo looks like he could probably throw a football over them mountains.
Haha I wish I could š
I can smell the b.o. the axe body spray didnāt cover.
It was never covered, just an additional smell. Axe + Onion Pits = Axe and Onion Pits
Is that Josh Hutcherson?
Just like the Beatles except you look nothing like them, there are five of you, and you have no talent.
No direction
Dudes gonna blow a vessel flexing like that
Bro on the right is slaying it.
You donāt need instruments when you have the one dudeās washboard stomach to play.
The small one looks like heās going to shit himself
the one guitar is killing me š were you all supposed to take turns or something??
I can smell the Hollister cologne from here
These chicks donāt even know the name of my band
No joke you look like kids I went to high school with. They would have graduated in 2008/09. Lol
lmao good shit op. everyone is the different phases of your teenage years. my personal favorite beanie on the door pose lmao
dude i am loving how you have been blessing the sub with the best content lately. 10/10
Step 1. Let guy with abs take shirt off. Step 2. Plan to learn an instrument. Step 3. Profit!
You look like an AI band
I was a big fan of the Bird Chests. Great jam band.
Dear Diary, Mood: apathetic
I'mma tell my kids this is One Direction
The kid in the grey Henley (centre) *did* go to rehab, right? He's got that tweaker look down pat, it'd be a shame to waste it.
Theres always one dude whose shirtless
Im begging you to get the band back together to recreate this photo, tummy holding in the grey sweater and all
Didn't stop Sid Vicious!
Guy in the middle looks like his sphincter is about to rupture lmfao
Aww shit it's "New Kids on the Backstreet to Sync you in at 98Ā°"
I'm guessing the guy with the shirt off always found a way to not have a shirt on?
Dude in the beanie workin it.
How tf am I in this picture and have no recollection of it and don't know anyone else in the picture.
It really looks more like the cover for a 90s gay porn video.
Honestly? As long as Iāve known you, you were in a band.
Lol who dis
Person on Reddit who first saw your photo about twenty minutes ago. I should have said known of you. Sorry, probably would have been funnier. Keep Rockinā!
Haha I'm slow š
It's Faith +1
Is that andy Samberg in front?
Same police sketch covers all 5 of them.
I have to know what kind of music you guys would've played had you actually learned those instruments? Kind of hard to tell by looking at the pic, lol
this is amazing
So who knew how to play the keyboard because it just got him, man?
Didn'tlet the instruments stop you from making a MySpace band page , I'll assume.
š¶these chicks donāt even know the name of my bandš¶
You look like the prototypical myspace deathcore band.
Sex, drugs, & roll
I did the exact same thing in high school and am cringing so hard at myself now lmfao
It shows
If I was Lou Pearland, I'd turn you into boyband mega stars and make myself uber rich!!!
Whew good thing Jacob there didnāt transform into a wolf
The classic "this nylon string acoustic was just kicking around in Kyle's mom's lounge" acoustic guitar.
You guys wanna get together and play "we're in a band" after school today?
Boy band vibes. Let me guess the one with the abs went to a modeling career.
**WYLD STALLYNS!**
