forming a band takes a lot of commitment from every member,
needs a reasonable amount of talent and hard work... u need to
invest in equipment for example for a drummer, u need ur own snare,
crashes, rides and hi hats... easily cost up to 3-4K and for
guitarists, all the sound effect pedals, amps and guitar can easily
chalk up 2-3K again bassist and keyboardist hmm... all in all u
need about 10K at least to turn more or less semi pro... (that's
when u really wanna fulfill ur dream) if not then u can jam at
studios all ur life and nothing's gonna happen... singapore has
lots of talents, lots of good musicians out there, but we're not
really world class... talk abt world class, it's really a long long
way to go dude... hehe... 
my few cents
worth...
