I have a gig tomorrow (it's a charity gig at my buddy's school, but still...) and after having planned it for weeks and the other guitar player saying he'd be there, and having a rehearsal planned for tonight, he calls me and tells me he's not interested in rehearsing or playing the gig...he said it sounds "boring" and he doesnt feel like it...man, I'm fucking pissed off...and he's doing this even though the gig was advertised including his name and its bad for his reputation as a musician...but I'm really annoyed, and I don't have a replacement...
That's really sucky, maybe there is a reason behind it, but good luck. There is a lot of people actually wishing to be in a band & perform its a shame that he walked out on ya
We're playing jazz, and we've done some guitar and drums free jazz, but it's really not appropriate for this, but we'll do it if we absolutely must... Other than that, I called a bassist, and he has to call back, but if he can't do it, I'm screwed. If I suck in front of a lot of people, it's a really big deal, at least to me...
i totally understand man... i had to go through the exact same kind of stuff.... i would kill to be in a band now... a good one... not an evanescence/greenday/metallica rip off band... i hate all those bands and thats the only type of music i ever got to play... my fucking bitch of a singer quit and made my awesome bassist/best friend i ever had quit too now he wont even talk to me... FUCK
you have a very good point right there i guess there are louds of rip off bands like the examples you gave around these days...though i think recently i have become a fan of metallica, i never used to really like them... P.S i hope you do get to be in a band
that sucks dude...even more so since he broke a commitment. i've been through the same thing before, but ya just gotta try the best to pull it off without him. who knows, may even be better if you do it without him
It's improvisational...and even if he did decide to play...there would be too many negative vibes flowing in the jams...I could never relax and play together with him enough to sound good...
