Stupid "Freak Out's"

NOAH_FX · #1 09-20-2011, 11:57 AM

We've all done it, some more than others. Have you ever had a bad day and lost your **** for no reason? Worse to find out it was ridiculous... I did that Saturday..

So Saturday I started yelling at my clip on tuner (it died, batteries die it happens) But luckily I had another watch battery, threw it in and realized my bass was not in the tuning I thought it was.. So I preceded to yell at the tuner, and setup my effects board. While I'm doing this my drummer explains (It's not 440Hz) opps.. Oh we'll effect board is setup, I than click on the tuner, and get confused again. It's all tuned a half step up.. This time the drummer gets off his stool, walks over, and turns off my Octave pedal.. and than proceeds to laugh at me profusely, it was funny.

I thought i'd share, anyone else let their drummers show them up ?:P

We've all been there. We've all done something stupid, which we easily should have recognized otherwise. Hey, if the drummer did it without laughing, I'd be grateful.

I was in a customers warehouse on a service call years ago. Things were not going my way, and I just could not get my wrench to grab the bolt head I was trying to remove. It was a really tight spot, and I just could not get the stupid thing to cooperate.

So..........

In a fit of blind rage, I shouted a rapid fire stream of obscenities and threw the offending wrench across the warehouse with all my might!!!!

Then I had to walk across the warehouse and poke around under pallets of stuff trying to find my stupid wrench.

Lesson learned: Breathe...... Just breathe man......

Lucky the wrench didn't smash something when you threw it...

The craziest thing... When we shout at our inanimate objects, they never seem to listen.

When I was a kid building a model car, I could never manage to fit everything together properly. Shouting at it never seemed to work. And neither did throwing it against the wall, across the room. Hehe.

Threw a rock a stripper once.
Missed her, hit the bouncers car.
I don't throw hard objects anymore.

The other day I was yelling at my Tascam CD burner, while trying to mix a few tracks to CD.......for being too *&%$#! picky about my blank CD-R's (It's very picky and will most likely spit it out, with a "disc error")......After a few different discs, it takes it.....

I freaked out on my drummer a ton of times.

He got kicked out.

*Everything went better than expected!*

sound guy insists i use a DI that looks like it was beaten to death with a hammer over my new radial. 2nd song the thing cuts in & out & i am giving the sound guy the death stare & he doesn't even notice there is no bass at all. 3rd song i am losing & as soon as it was over i turn around & rip my cord out of his DI with a mighty fury & i ripped the crotch out of my pants with an even mightier fury. the roar i unleashed deafened 3 small children

16 years old, playing a street fighter, home alone. Got all the way through the main game but was stuck on hidden super final boss. Could not beat. Hours later... could not beat. Not much of the kind that can easily say "F-it" and quit, s***'s getting personal. Hour or 2 later, could not beat. Got into Obscene Hulk mode, spewing obscenities, kicking things, nearly breaking controller, all kinds of insanity. Bedroom door opens, Moms boyfriend asks if everything is alright (apparently I was not home alone, he came home early and had been napping)

Embarrassed as all hell, I beat the boss while he was standing there in the doorway, making me look even more foolish. Its never been brought up since.

Freaked out today on the way to band rehearsal.... Dropped my girlfriend off at home and after a long crappy day at school, I wasn't in the best mood. She said that I need to get out of some music stuff (she's right) because it is taking up all of my time. I kissed her and walked outside then realized how hectic my schedule is and how little me time I have had in the past month and just lost it. Screaming in the street and punched my car (hit a corner so it didn't dent) then proceeded to screaming at the drummer and guitarist that have been in my car during the whole ordeal until we were about half of the way to the drummers house for practice.

I actually screamed so much that I gave myself a migraine and had to leave practice early. Gonna take something for that and get ready for church band practice then take the girlie out for dessert or something to apologize for the freak out.

This is some of the best prose I've ever read...I thought I was the only who smashed 13 remote controllers and chocked myself if the intended result wasn't personified on the 16 bit Sega.
I'm still the King 'round here on Tecmo Super Bowl.
Cowboys all day.

SevenJacks · #17 09-25-2011, 06:59 AM

My buddies and I call them 'moments'.
We have a pact that when we are in the middle of, or just gotten done with one, we need to call someone and tell them the whole story.

The voice messages that have been left by us in the past, mid-moment, have been epic.

Rockmusician · #18 09-25-2011, 07:00 AM

In all honesty. I can't say that I have ever done anything like this. I don't let things which are out of my control bother me. Life is too short to worry about trivial things.

P.s. I have a ps2 controller with bite marks on it.

P.s.s. I don't have a dog...
