hardheartedbill Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 sounds familar, it's the reason I started singing, now I'm actually half way decent, so I say start singing! I've played w/ that drummer many times, what is st w/ these guys?
Scottcrud Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Last time our drummer passed out, we drew ming the merciless/ king diamond graphics on his face with a permanent marker. Took two days for that to wash off. Next time he passed out, we spray painted his new nikes and socks gold while he was still wearing them.
Boogie1 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Man, that was the most detailed and funniest (although not funny at the same time!) story I've read in a while!The singer is a douche bag. Good Riddance. Lead Singers Disease, etc.The drummer is a drunken little Napoleon motherf@#ker. Definitely should have recieved a solid ass kicking before the door hit his ass on the way out. F@#k him- drummers are a dime a dozen, and most of them at least have a Honda Civic to cram their drums into. Sounds like you and OGG and BG have some chemistry and know how to get along, so reform, put together a kickass project and make sure the two douche bags hear about it!As far as the hired gun with a country band, I say go for it in the meantime. Here in AZ country bands make double what rock bands do, play to packed venues with better looking eye candy as well.Good luck at whatever!
Matt Mattson Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 If you take the aforementioned Apple Computer with you and plug it into the speakers with some pre-programmed loops from Garageband, you'll have a drummer that actually stays in time. Or use a keyboard and drum out the parts you want, make them into your own loops (song backings) of any song you presently do (or did) and you've got your setlist back. Your new drummer will show up every night.If you want a drummer again.

David B Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Bands are hard. There's usually are dumb ass or two. Get excited about what's to come... especially if you guys can sing without a lead singer.
earachemyeye Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Thankyou. Every now and then I feel like I could muster the energy to be in a band again. Then another story (or several at once) like this shows up and I realize it's not in me anymore to put up with other peoples shit like that. F*ck em and no regrets. I love the HFC jams though. No issues with anybody, no need to have any. Just pure fun. Joe
steviej Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Dude, I think I'm going to have to sue you for plagiarising a few chapters of my autobiography...word for word. In the next chapter you decided to start an acoustic duo with OGG, but that falls throught as well.

In the next chapter you decided to start an acoustic duo with OGG, but that falls throught as well. HAHA Worry not, OGG & I are unabashed acoustic haters, so it's not likely. We'd be more likely to start a pedal steel/steel drum combo than an acoustic duo.
Frank Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Drum machine. One less guy to split the take with and you fit on smaller stages better!

blackfbiv Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Does the bass player have a brother ? Got to love bass players. Hardly ever cause anybody any trouble. That's because we know that a keyboard player's left hand can make us completely redundant... We're like red-shirts on Star Trek man...
Brooks Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 i love these threads! i hate to hear of your probs, but these threads make me realize how universal (& funny) band drama is. there's always at least one fuckup in every band. i actually get along w/ everyone in my band, but i think a big part of that is the fact that 1) i'm also in a fairly busy acoustic duo, 2) the band only gigs 5-6 times a year. if the duo fell apart (and i couldn't find another), we might have to replace some of the guys. but at least i don't want to deck one of them (which is rare, as i have little tolerance for assholes).
