    Your reasons for quitting bands

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Left my last band four years ago - simply too much marijuana in the band. I've nothing against people having a toke, but when I'm lugging my gear over there (on the bus, no less) I expect far more than to play two or three songs before the others skin up and proceed to discuss government conspiracies for the next three hours. When they cancelled a gig because they couldn't be arsed, that was the end of my tolerance - I'll not work with anyone who doesn't put the effort in again. Leave your vices for your own time.

    Ive just hacked off my ears with a rusty bread knife.

    Sadly this is almost on a par with the OP's find.

    Great quote: "[color=#000000][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Complex tempos, rough but beautiful vocals, amazing tone, these guys have it all. And the fact that they can play in four time signatures at once is incredible "[/size][/font][/color]

    The fact that they managed to snag Christian Bale's Batman for vocal duty is equally impressive :lol:

    Yup, I bought the London Calling album on double heavyweight vinyl last month. Fantastic opening track, then just a load of forgettable filler after that!

    There's a couple of really enjoyable tracks but I've never been a fan of listening to it altogether. Hateful and Rudie Can't Fail are easily two of my all time favourite Clash tracks though.

    too critical?

    Music for people who don't actually like music is a huge market. See also: stupidly big cars for people who can't drive; best-selling novels for people who can't read and a plethora of 'luxury goods' for discerning consumers [size=4]who don't know their arses from a hole in the ground. Ooh, I'm grumpy today all right![/size]

    Quote of the century!

    Do the seasons affect your playing?

    I actually tend to do a lot more recording and playing when the weather's better because I'm in a much more upbeat mood and more motivated to get something worthwhile done with my time. In poor weather I have more of a 'Can't be arsed' feeling so tend to watch more telly or read more than actual practising.

    Going to see your old bands - mixed emotions ?

    Saw my first band playing a small festival - I'd been with them when we auditioned for it so was partially a bit jealous as I'd been looking forward to it, but it was my decision to leave and the new guy did look to be enjoying himself more than I would've so I suppose it all worked out.

    If you can manage to find a much better group to join before going to see your old one, it certainly helps :lol:

    Haha nice friends you have :)

    The Tiffany Aching books, were kind of written for kids, TP did a few like that, they are still cracking good reads for us big kids though !

    Absolutely, the Pratchett sense of humour's still very much present and they've got some of the creepiest villains of the Discworld series. Not to mention the Nac Mac Feegle, who're just about my favourite fantasy characters.

    Yes yes yes! Got it the other week just after finishing the Tiffany Aching books, by and large a cracking album (a couple of forgetable tracks on there IMO, but still getting a lot of playtime at the moment). The Wee Free Men track's absolutely cracking. Crivens!
