Members Bradman006 Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 oh and his mobile phone rings every 10 minutes at rehearsals, he answers it, text messages, leaves the room while we all look at each other shaking our heads. I'm going to stick it up his ass sideways if it continues. But ten again, he'd probably set it to vibrate and enjoy the sensation while he writes his little Inflames riffs.

Members guitarman3001 Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 How about a drummer that swears up and down he's committed to the band through the rest of the year, promises he'll get a passport so you can go on a USO tour that has already been offered to you making 250.00/day, and because of his promise you drop a good job and move 900 miles to play with the band because everyone has promised to give it 100% until the end of the year, then suddenly the drummer starts making excuses as to why he doesn't have his passport yet, then 3 months later he still doesn't have it and one week before weeklong trip with several gigs scheduled he says he's no longer into music and walks out forcing you to cancel a {censored}load of gigs and end up sitting at home unemployed and broke and with the band at a complete standstill and having to cancel even more gigs because he lied about his committment to the band? So now you're 900 miles away from home, can't go back until the end of the year (I rented out a condo I own..at a 300/mo loss), and the band has come to a complete standstill and actually moved backwards because now some venues and booking agents have you on their {censored} list and won't book you anymore because you cancel shows at the last minute.... Oh..and after all is said and done and he claims he's no longer into music, you come to find out that he's playing in another band. Quite possibly the biggest ass{censored}ing I've ever gotten from a musician. Yeah, I'm over it now but it's still an assreaming I'm not likely to forget.

Members ZomBiE DinkLE Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 Originally posted by guitarded_1 I have been in so many bands and dealt with so much crap that I am very happy right now to not be in a band. I made the mistake of trying to make a living out of it. I landed a good job in commercial real estate this week, and God Damn, it feels good to get a steady paycheck! I love music, but I can no longer deal with band drama. good luck with your new job man. I've listened to the few links you've posted and your playing was excellent.

Members AgentOrange Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 'Lets just practice once now, and then once the morning of the gig, were good enough right? Its what weve always done before?' This isnt even a proper band, just a group of mates doing something for my buds 21st, but every gig ive played with these guys has had the bare minimum of practices and then we wonder why things arent so tight when we get to play. Weve had two practices, and were gonna have one tommorow, we havnt played with the singer whos going to be playing with us tommorow and as well as my buds 21st, its his parents wedding anniversary .... can anyone here spell trainwreck? We'll probably muddle through it and itll go ok, but for once id like to play a show that went really well, rather than one we just about got through.

Members creamycomfort Posted July 28, 2006 Members Share Posted July 28, 2006 I can totally relate to this post. I'm in a band called Sherlock's Revenge and if it weren't for the great music we have been making I would probably quit. The drummer is EXTREMLY talented but he's also extremly disgusting. He {censored}s in bottles and buckets at band practice and doesn't even wipe his ass. Our old singer was an alcholic and a showboat so we got rid of him. We found a new singer who has an amazing vocal range and is very versatile. Only problem is three weeks after joining he admits to us hes a convicted sex offender. It took us a while to get used to that one... in my experience good singers are VERY hard to find.

The craziest part is he will {censored} mid song. He gets those big 40 ounce bottles that you drink malt liquor out of and breaks the top off. He has a drummer stool rigged with a big hole in it so he can {censored} into the bottle whilst playing. He says this actually relaxes him and helps him play better. We rehearse in a big disused building and im usually about 10 feet away from him so the smell isn't too overwhelming but it's still a nasty habbit. Honestly though, this guy is literally a percussion genius. He went to julliard for a bit and he was a child prodigy on drums. Alot of other bands in the local area have tried to snag him but had no luck. Luckily he is quite normal when we play in gigs but during practice he just makes us put up with it.

Here's to all the time wasted due to incompetant bandmates who would rather sit around than practice, have excuses for everything, are compulsive liars, can't balance the band with their relationship, do coke, are alcoholics, trade your DVDs in for cigarette money, smoke your stash, eat your food (even though if they had just asked it wouldnt have been a big deal), wear your clothes without you ever knowing they had them in the first place, get you arrested for their actions, are so wasted and have nothing better to do so they go into a neighboring rich subdivision and put pick-axes through corvette hoods, steal other peoples' equipment, {censored} up your gear without taking responsibility, are too obssessed with showmanship that they forget about performance quality, {censored} ugly bitches and then complain about it, and all around sociopathy and disrespect for everyone and everything around them. {censored} you! by the way.... holy {censored}.pick axes through corvette hoods? {censored} all that. i'd rather woodshed it with a les paul and a bottle of crown. the guys i'm with now are decent people. our old drummer was a 20 something teenage burn out.lived in his own filth in his parents basement.man, if i'd only taken photos of that dump, the city would have had it condemed.
