bands suck

[donf]

My current band is quite low on the talent scale, but everybody shows up for 1/week practice rather reliably, and if they don't, it's almost always with plenty of notice. Unfortunately it appears that no amount of practice is going to make this band capable of handling any kind of serious gig.... so yeah, bands suck.

Nah, come on. Consistent practice and you'll get better. Hell, look at Van Halen, they made it didn't they :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: (Not a Van Halen fan )

Ok, it was only a joke.............don't pounce on me!!!!!

Yeah, but let's just say there's a LONG way to go!

Our singer just quit via e-mail.

One of the things my band did to help communication is a bulletin board like this one we're using here. We set up a private section for band members only and it really helps the communication.

No-shows for rehearsals are a big no-no.

There's always at least one in the band that's a smacked ass like that. With my band now (we've been together 8 years) It's always the bassist. We've been thru 10 of them.

For us the biggest ego is our singer. He bitches about everything and complains and just has his sights set on becoming a rockstar. He spends countless hours promotin gthe band each week which is really great, but he never practices singing and fails to realize while he is a good singer, he can be a lot better if he would stop fucking smoking and learn some better technique.

L.S.D. (lead singers disease)

We just fired our last bassist for the whole "I'm gonna be a rockstar" thing. I actually wrote a song about it....it's in the MP3 submissions section here.
