Happened to me in the 90's, out of the blue the fat b****** drummer who I been ferrying around for 5 years whilst playing in this band, calls me up and tells me they doing me a favour by letting me go. It's in my interest so that I'll be able to move to another town if my employer asks me too - WTF
The other band ***holes were all pi** heads and I was not, I think that was the reason the dumb f**** pushed me out so another pi**head realative drinking-buddy could take my place.
As you can tell, I'm not the slightest bit bitter, as I have the rest of my life to return the w****** the favour, given the chance.- lol
If it happens to anyone else here, I suggest you try & move on and If your young enough, get your own back by getting a successfull band formed or by joining one. Don't be bitter like me, but don't forget either
