I should have added the drummer constantly invites his significant other even to private corporate events. Very awkward some times.

Yup, playing on a full stomach sucks, not to mention spitting tiny food chunks on my mic. I agree nothing wrong if food provided, just had a minor annoyance with the drummer getting in line ahead of party goers,

Having a bit of a discussion in our band re. Playing private parties and eating with and at the same time as the guests. We played an outdoor barbecue last summer and as soon as they announced burgers and sausages were done, we were on break, our drummer booted it right almost to front of line...

Yes, some high arts witchcraft going on. Sent messages to about 15 guitarists on Bandmix, got one answer, thankfully it was the only one we needed. Funny as the guitarist had forgotten that he had a Bandmix profile, and just that week decided that he would like to be in a gigging band...

Had a similar situation this last summer, only we didn’t fire BL, we just found a new lead guitarist and renamed. Old BL was our lead guitarist, she was a horrible guitarist and a total control freak. I approached the singer and drummer and found they were also fed up with her, I asked them...

Your drummer must be fast at setting his metronome. Or are you just saying he sets the tempo without a metronome?

Hard No

I can think of one problem, waiting after each song for him to dial in the new song. We play a lot of songs without break, one into the next.

One bass, but I live within 15 minutes round trip of most of our gigs. Out of the area leave one in the car. Tried multiple basses, just F’ed the sound up.

Never ever ever eat before a gig. Always after. Have breakfast or lunch and that’s it until after a gig.

Her lack of an answer to my question about her priorities and subsequent dismissive reply was the final straw that made me decide to leave. It was quite obvious by her sudden lack of availability that she had shifted focus to the new band and we were getting the crumbs. UPDATE Our drummer...

Not that I have to defend myself, but I did have a private conversation with the singer about 10 days after I had asked the guitar player what her priorities were in a group chat. Pretty sure that was in my story. Remember she never did answer that question. I found out the singer felt...

Ya, looking back I think I was a tad off in the way I handled it, but we had a bit of a contentious relationship. Not the first time she texted me with the “really”. I think I was ready to leave, but didn’t have the fortitude to do it without her putting us on the side. I’d hate to see them...

The amazing part about all this is that the band an hour and a half away she went to join, is named Trilogy _ _ _ _ , 3 guys, and they already have gigs almost every weekend, usually 2 nights. We can’t figure out what she was bringing to the table?

We have a female singer and I draw the line at any post 1980 Heart, once they stopped writing their own material and let Dianne Warren take over….brrrrrrffffff
