solo4652 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 All these have happened to me recently: The singer's buggered off to Bulgaria to sell timeshare apartments without telling anybody The porn studio next door has complained about the noise The drummer's headbutted the tailgate of his car and has had to go to A&E The rehearsal barn has nesting bats and we can't disturb them The lead guitarist has injured himself taking down some shelves What has everybody else had to put up with?

mikegatward Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Not quite cancelled... Our rehearsal finished early as one of the units in the rehearsal warehouse block was raided by police and turned out to be a cannabis farm. Wondered what the sickly sweet smell was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shizznit Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have had these excuses... "Can we reschedule this week? My dog is expecting to give birth." "The studio we booked this week got shut down because of a drug raid by the cops." "I really fancy a curry this week...shall we all do that instead?" "I don't have any drum sticks." "Oh...I didn't realise that I got the gig and you wanted me to come back after the audition!?" "I ran out of weed and I had to sell my guitar." "I went to Tesco's to buy milk for the tea tonight and when I got back to the car some d*** reversed full pelt into me an 2 other cars in the car park." "Can't make it tonight because you all do my head in." (we took that as his resignation!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomE Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 "I am expecting my period" is one that left me a bit speechless. It was a girl who said it but i didn't really know what to say to her. "My strings are too old" >?>? "My car is hanging off a wall" and it was. Literally balancing on a wall. "I have been arrested" All of these i can verify as being true except the first one...
