Dumb CL Ad's pt 5, Dumbester and Dumberest

OK, I know you'll all want to move to Cincinnati to play with this guy (leave your loud rack-mounted equipment at home).
Looking to form a no BS band (Milford)

Listen, I'm a really good songwriter, I'm a great utility guitarist, and I have stage presence for days. I expect to play shows, I expect to make money, and I know I have that IT factor that will lead this band to greatness.

SO NO DRAMA.

I need a dependable drummer who will take care of his drumming realm, bringing the thunder, at break neck speed (when necessary). Drummer, you are not allowed to complain. You are not allowed to make suggestions. You are not allowed to play "tribal" beats, go to half time all of the time, or twirl your sticks. I WILL NOT TOLERATE you stealing my girlfriend. I'm between gf's right now, but I have a ton of prospects. So in a month, when this project is well off of the ground and I have a super hot gf, I WILL KICK YOU OUT IF YOU STEAL HER.

I need a rocking hard lead guitarist with licks for days. No drugs, no BS, no "big man on campus" macho BS. I expect you to play a GIBSON Les Paul guitar, have a full MARSHALL stack (pre-80s), and have only two pedals: A wah and a channel switch. THAT'S IT. NO MONSTER PEDAL BOARDS. THAT'S DRAMA AND I DON'T ACCEPT DRAMA.

I need a bass player who does not suck. Your gear should be good, but not too loud. No rack mounted equipment allowed, it's too loud. Also, you are not allowed to have a day job because I will not tolerate excuses about "needing to go to work in the morning."

I am willing to compromise, and I may decided to play bass or drums. But I will always sing, I need to express myself. Once I get a sense of who is responding I will plan accordingly.

Rock'N'Roll 4 lyfe

I appreciate that he assumes the bass player is the only one who might have a job.

another one like that, based on the title (watch out, guitards):

Bassist looking to pursue a guitar player (Perris)
Hello, my name is Jonathan and I have been playing Bass for about 4 years going on 5. I just recently set aside my active band due to the rest of the band mates busy from college or work. So I am here at home having the free time for any band out there that is in need of a permanent or session Bass player. I prefer to play around the genres of (Alternative/Indie Rock) but I also play other genres such as Metal whether it be Thrash or Death Metal. I have been around the local scene playing shows for about two years and am willing to help bands in need of more shows as I have the knowledge and connections. Please don't hesitate to email this posting, I have some Bass instrumentals on my soundcloud for curious ears. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

So I have to audition, then rehearse once a week, for one unpaid gig? And there are no other band members yet? Uh, no thanks.

However, she is pretty hot, so she will probably get plenty of responses:

Apparently they have a different currency system there that ONLY works in Chester County? And it's like a 10-to-1 ratio to American dollars?

Or what?
 
Just received this round of texts from someone on CL. I'll try to type it exactly as he did. Now ftr, I'm not religious, nor am I mad that the religious, and I genuinely appreciate it when someone says "God bless you." I just think it's a bit weird to come at a stranger like this, particularly the last msg.


Here goes:
Him: Will u take 35o.oo and a bunch of bass video's ?like victor wooten flea marcus miller able laboriel stuart hamm claypool ect,hundreds in videos?

Me: Thanks for the offer, but it's sold.

Him: Ok,God bless you man.

Me: You too. Take care.

Him: Do u believe in jesus?

Him: The bible says if you ask god to come to u he will if u do it with all your heart n soul,DEuteronomy 4:29,also look up john 14:6 jesus is the only way

Him: Last thing dnt ever take the mark to buy or sell on your hand or forhead cause the go to Hell,rev 13-2o talk about it 6 times,God bless c u in heaven.
 
I don't know if it's dumb per se, but this Ish drives me berzerk....
