Oh my....

OK, so this was funny to me, anyone else; we'll see....

HUGE gig this weekend, local radio stations, Budweiser, etc.... SO. last song singer decides to not finish the tune, walks around like he is god (you know, the hands in the air waivin like you REALLY don't care....)... whatever, that's happened before. However this time the promoters, organizers, and police said "You're Done!!!" before the last tune. no big deal, there was a permit to be followed.

so after wandering, said singer pulls the "ONE MORE" card and tries to get us to start an "encore". my bass was off, and the drummer wasn't even on stage. singer got bent. HAHA.

wow. i guess you had to be there.

thanks.

A singer with an larger than life ego? Now why that doesn't sound unfamiliar at all?

Dont you just love it when singers just stop. Our female singer did that mid song when the battery in her cordless mike died, she was also playing the breakdown of the song on her acoustic guitar by herself at the time, result, trainwreck! 4 other mikes on stage, why didnt she just take 1 step to the left??????, well she is blonde.

shhheeeeeeeeesh
