The back story:
One of the more entertaining Craigslist dust ups is occurring on the Jacksonville board concerning the circumstances surrounding the recent departure of a bass player from the gig he was working with a local hero that is famously difficult to work with.
The usual drama we all love. Quit / fired, guitard is a tool / God, blah, blah, blah,
The latest salvo is a live vid the Ex posted on YouTube in support of his side of the story.
It's a lot longer than it needs to be. I "got it" after about 30 sec. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1VeFOPW68 |

Ouch... that was brutally painful... and as bad as the vocals were, the "we're on quaaludes" tempos are worse.

| | Registered User | | | | | Yeah, I'm not really sure how I felt about the whole thing other than it was interesting that it kinda went total thermonuclear war.
I don't think it's the path I would have chosen given that the guitard is so notoriously difficult. I've never heard him but, I've heard about him for years.
There's a lesson in all that somewhere, I'm just not quite smart enough to figure out what or where....
The thing has a real "Yertle the Turtle" vibe to it.

Rock and Roll hair fan = Fail
IMHO of course. YMMV |
