Short story

Sign in to disble this ad
I was doing a sound gig last night at a local club for some metal bands and things were going good and then the last band went on and they start playing there first song and all of a sudden the guitar player throws his guitar on the floor and stomps out of the club mean while his girlfriend is throwing punches at guys. Strange night I have never seen that before. I never got the story but who throws there guitar on the floor I mean he slammed in on the ground.

Who cares, it was just a guitar
Anyhoo, I've done that before, I was real pissed.
Bass was fine, fortunately. I don't know how

Also they had the worst stage setup I have ever seen. The stage was right in front of the bar so I setup the PA facing the bar like 8 feet away in a very large room so things needed to be bumping. I didnt give it much thought until I was done but am guessing the bartender was having a hard time taking drink orders. HA HA HA

I hate bands like that, that play really loud in pubs.
It's like they have no idea it's not all about them.

I once was briefly in a band years ago where the guitairst would throw his guitar on the ground just because he screwed up a solo during practices! Needless to say I declined the invite of the band to stay on as their bass player. I could only imagine how much fun the bar and club gig circuit would have been with him.
