Whats the worst thing thats ever happened in a music project you were in?

[April Ethereal]

Once I was practicing at a friends house for a project I was in, and he had just recently bought a brand new 7 string Ibanez. He shoved me in a friendly joking way then I shoved him back...He stumbles backwards knocking an inscent burner off his dresser down onto his guitar! We were just standing there in shock while looking at a piece of the broken inscent burner sticking out of his Ibanez! XD lol I felt bad but he caused a very bad dent to my Ibanez SR later....So I guess thats karma? who knows :]


What are some crazy stories that involved your all's bands, performances, and music projects?

Do you think you would have got the job if the Jiggy had been better?

^ Awesome. You should have joined that band just for the awkwardness that was bound to happen. Maybe coulda got another night out of the drummer's wife.


At rehearsal once, I was taking care of some business. I knocked into a friends amp and a nice brand new glass piece fell from atop and shattered.

^ And a joke is a joke...... I feel guilty even recounting this story.......
After a gig I had to reach behind the guitarists Gibson Lefty 335 dot that had been left to him by a departed friend.....the guitarist was a metal worker and made his own guitar stands amoungst other things, the problem was IMO they were a little too vertical in standing.....anyway, I lifted my cab cover over carefully (from behind the guitar), nothing out of the ordinary, only....the guitar had brushed forward just an inch unbeknowenst to me and was balancing straight up in the air hovering...and waiting....I got 10 metres away was putting the cover on my cab a good 10 seconds after walking back then heard a crack, Gibby had overbalanced, fallen flat on it's face and broken the headstock back My friend and guitarist was such a diamond, he didn't make me pay with guilt, he understood how I felt about guitars too and knew....it would be the last thing I'd want to happen...still, however careful you are, sometimes s**t just happens

Take note Gibson owners...they don't bounce! : )

what state are you from???

[David Pinton]

^ are you a drummer????

[N.F.A.]

Not sure if this qualifies, but here it is anyway.
A 3-piece band I played in was at our practice room playing really loud. At some point I packed it in and left for the night, it was late and I had to work. It turns out that after I left the police showed up and gave my bandmates tickets for disturbing the peace. Someone over a mile away had heard us and called the cops.

I was drumming in a band and we had one song where I'd switch with the singer, and he's play drums.

Besides the drumkit, leaned against the wall was one cymbal of my spare hihats. There wasn't much space to get behind the drums (the room was pretty littered). He managed to step on the cymbal, plopping it inside out. It was a quite heavy 14".

We all saw it, but I didn't want to make a fuzz about it, because we were all stoned, and I thought it might just still be useable that way.

Next week I found it back in it's original state - the singer must have fixed it during the week.

I still wonder if he tore a muscle, or how at all he managed to pop it back... must have been hard.

Similar thing happened with our drummer's Chinese crash cymbal.

Guitarist's nephew was helping load out, and gathered up the cymbals.
Dude looks at the Chinese, and quickly pops it out the other way, hands it to the drummer and says: "here, I fixed it for you".

The drummer just blinks, and puts the cymbal in his bag to fix later.

He probably just turned it over and stepped on it again, popping it back outside in.
