I used to play the guitar in a hard rock band, but I had to move to another city to attend classes at university. Due to my studies, I haven't practiced properly since november or so, with a small exception in February. During that period, all I did to improve musically was to study harmony. Once I get used to my new schedule over here, I'll start practicing again, and once I'm in good shape I'll start looking for a band. My goal is to create a blues rock/early hard rock/early heavy metal band (you know, that bluesy sound from the late 60s: Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experience, early Led Zeppelin, early Black Sabbath...), but while I don't find musicians with the same interest, any kind of rock band will do for me, so that I'll at least be active.[/QUOTE]

I do.
Reggae. With an unintentional touch of disco, I think. Sounds horrible. But it's not.

I play drums in a local band called Unbalanced. Our style is kind of hard to summarize in one word, as we do hard rock, some metal, punk, and 'funk-rock'. You get the idea.
I've been in the band since September 2007, and have played 5 live shows to date. Although we haven't recorded an album yet, we do put out some demos online as well as live material, which you can hear some examples of on our website http://www.unbalanced.ca
On the side, I can also play some bass and guitar (mostly rhythm - I only read tabs unfortunately, although I am slowly starting to learn some songs by ear better these days as opposed to relying on tabs). My favourite song to play bass along to is Pink Floyd's "Money".

Good post and thanks for the link which I will go check out. I think it's amazing that you are able to play 3 instruments. What is your favorite one to play?

Oh I forgot to mention you can watch video of our first show with the current line-up from last year on YouTube

Was good for a first show I guess, but I was a bit rough then, and I got a lot better since then :-)
