If we're working on new stuff there's not really a time limit, they've lasted nearly 10 hrs (with food breaks) sometimes. If we're just rehearsing maybe an hour, hour and a half

A few years ago: 3.5 hour practice, 3 hours playing. Usually twice a week. Fuck me I loved that band.
Currently: 7 hour practice, 1 hour playing. Usually drunk. Eh, at least it's fun.

My cover band practices once a week for a 3-hour stint. Seismic Feedback's sessions are usually much longer, usually 5-8 hours.

Not usually for more than a few hours unless it's really "clicking".
I don't practice at all.

I wish I could quote that whole exchange between 4455 and Smile Man...
that circular argument kinda reminded me of something out of Alice in Wonderland...which I just finished reading last week..
