Crazy reasons for breaking up the band

[Bard2dbone]

One of the indispensable players. . .

(1) develops tinnitus, stage fright, depression, or allergic reaction to second-hand smoke.

(2) is seriously hurt after a groupie encounter ends badly.

(3) realizes that the "band" is about to become a band (that is, that a casual band is threatening to become successful, and thus represent actual responsibility).

(4) joins a radical sect, and insists bandmates follow.

(5) is electrocuted on stage.

(6) is arrested.

(7) gets a 9-5 job.

(8) plays one time too many with guns, drugs, booze, fast cars, under-age girls, and/or fire.


Or,

(9) entire band is seriously screwed over by the major label contract that they had seen as the pot of gold at the rainbow's end.

Nearly all of these apply to at least one person in a band I've been in. Sad.

The smoke allergy was me.

A guitarist I used to jam with regularly with hooked up with a girl from the audience who ended up being even crazier than most of my parade of insane ex-girlfriends. The scars are fairly faded now.

The guitarist and I from my longest-term and most successful band once electrocuted each other pretty badly during a show. He had changed his strings and had all the excess hanging off the end of his Tele. He turned around andd they trailed across me. That's when I found out that our amps disagreed as to what was ground.

Fortunately the joined-a-cult guy was from a friends band, not ours.

We all got regular jobs. We're old.

Labels are for suckers.

One of the drummers for a band I was in quit calling us for practice. When confronted about it he complained that summer was here, and because of that he wanted to play World of Warcraft all day long.

Cool.
