Members FitchFY Posted October 2, 2014 Members Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just got a text from a fan that said "XXXX the obnoxious drummer just got banned from the open jam at VENUE. Wanna go tonight?" It led to the pretty resilient thought in my mind that if you've ever been banned from any type of musical event, you are probably one giant, tremendous, jackasselope. So... who here has been banned from something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceNorman Posted October 2, 2014 Members Share Posted October 2, 2014 I sorta like the idea! I've come across a couple of douche nozzles over the years that I'd be happy to hear have been banned from music venues around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nchangin Posted October 2, 2014 Members Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have from bands. chuckle. Cause I was an obnoxious drummer...... now that I look back never been banned from open jam. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen when the kids won't let another kid play in the "open" sandbox. But if it's a private sandbox, well then it can't be a lawsuit. Remember though Fitchy as Dr Phil says there is two sides to a pancake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jasaoke Posted October 4, 2014 Members Share Posted October 4, 2014 I was part of a swim team that was kicked out of a Pizza Hut lunch buffet, but that's probably not what you meant. We totally had it coming, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wesg Posted October 5, 2014 Members Share Posted October 5, 2014 I have. It turns out the host and I have incompatible and irreconcilable ethical differences unrelated to music. Too bad, that was a great jam. But it's life. On the other hand.. I thought for sure this was going to be a thread about jumping up on stage uninvited, and playing your bass a quarter tone sharp.

Members Vito Corleone Posted October 6, 2014 Members Share Posted October 6, 2014 Kind of takes the "Open" out of "Open Jam", doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FitchFY Posted October 9, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Kind of takes the "Open" out of "Open Jam"' date=' doesn't it?[/quote'] Absolutely, but you know the business behind it: if you've got a guy who shows up every week and kills the vibe and stops all other drummers from going... it would seem in your best interest to very much-so restrict their involvement.

Members Outkaster Posted October 9, 2014 Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Funny Tucktronix does an open jam here in the city and there is a guy that comes down that no one likes and does the same songs all the time. He supposedly got kicked out of another open jam. No one wants to play with this guy, he is also too loud. How sad is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted October 9, 2014 Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 Kinda make sense I guess. I think a lot of these open jammers are guys who can't get along with others well enough to play in a band in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kramerguy Posted October 9, 2014 Members Share Posted October 9, 2014 I got banned from a video game forum once (for trolling), but in my defense the game was fubar out of the box, and their big "fix" was a patch built into an expansion that you had to pay for. No pay, no patch. I posted my dis-satisfaction daily lol. Never quite got a win on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 10, 2014 Members Share Posted October 10, 2014 Boston must be cutthroat just to hang at a venue so it doesn't surprise me people get bounced. The jam I attend is on the lame side. Probably take a physical altercation to get the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GtrGeorge! Posted October 16, 2014 Members Share Posted October 16, 2014 If someone is such an jackAss that they get banned from an open mic..they should post his picture at the door with a red line thru it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
