Speed (Metal) Dating

Have you ever been lured to a shitty club -- say Red Eyed Fly -- by someone you once considered a friend? If so, you've probably wondered how all of these terrible generic metal bands populate themselves. Awkward conversations in the bass section of Guitar Center? By placing and responding to ads in the back of Rag Magazine? Craigslist "seeking" section or Chronicle Shots in the Dark?
There's got to be a better way.

I propose Speed (Metal) Dating, mainly because the mental image is Ahhh-dorable. Wayward musicians would meet up at some location, probably a pizzeria, and take turns interviewing potential bandmates. (Drummers, would of course have free admission.) "Who are your musical influences?" "What are your side projects?" "Do you have access to a van?"

Bam! You're playing Headhunters The. Next. Night.
Thank me later. (But please don't invite me.)
