Hell hath no fury like a bass player spurned.

The back story:

One of the more entertaining Craigslist dust ups is occurring on the Jacksonville board concerning the circumstances surrounding the recent departure of a bass player from the gig he was working with a local hero that is famously difficult to work with.

The usual drama we all love. Quit / fired, guitard is a tool / God, blah, blah, blah,

The latest salvo is a live vid the Ex posted on YouTube in support of his side of the story.

It's a lot longer than it needs to be. I "got it" after about 30 sec.

that was entertaining.

Geeze, talk about going out of your way to burn bridges. I guess it doesn't matter- the band sucks anyway.

Ouch... that was brutally painful... and as bad as the vocals were, the "we're on quaaludes" tempos are worse.

 

[Steve]

Yeah, I'm not really sure how I felt about the whole thing other than it was interesting that it kinda went total thermonuclear war.

I don't think it's the path I would have chosen given that the guitard is so notoriously difficult. I've never heard him but, I've heard about him for years.

There's a lesson in all that somewhere, I'm just not quite smart enough to figure out what or where....

The thing has a real "Yertle the Turtle" vibe to it.

Man that solo at the end was way to long and unnecessary. How can that guy get people to play with him?

 

[buzzbass]

WOW, the Alice in Chains was especially painful to listen to :scowl:

reason #6: The dude has a speacial fan....for his HAIR!!!

 

[QORC]

the guy has some valid points...not a very good band...vocalist is simply awful

That was the first thing I noticed in the vid as well. I though it was just because it's so effing hot in Florida on outside gigs but then, I noticed it at the indoor gig as well.

Rock and Roll hair fan = Fail

IMHO of course. YMMV

 

[Matt Dean]

Wow... I wouldn't normally dis another band... but, that band really sucked.

 

[Valerus]

woot.

 

[TheHegemon]

Lmao, hair fan ftw. Well good thing he got away from that guy, hope he finds something better.

 

[OtterOnBass]

Hair fans! That's great, I'll stick them on the lighting rig! We'll be cool while looking totally awesome. I can stop wearing a headband at my shows!

 

[Bassman7PM]

Wow! That's 8 minutes I'll never get back.

 

[fenderthrupeave]

the cread cover the guitar and vocals sucked, double negative from the same guy. I would quit to.

 

[Quadcam]

hehehe, Chris sent me that link on facebook no wonder he quit.
I'm surprised he isnt on here chiming in

I gave it about 30 seconds and decided to refill my coffee cup instead - much more rewarding to me personally.
