Lead Guitarist a Weasel...

[catcauphonic]

Tough crowd in this room! OP came here to vent a bit, and he's about 99.99% anonymous. Though quitting was drastic, it's hard to believe anybody knows enough details to definitively say who's mostly at fault in the sitch ... though that never stops an angry keyboard mob that also needs to vent somewhere somehow anonymously.

Guitar player sounds like a very type-A personality that kind of took over. Personally, I would have tried to hang in there a bit longer and try to talk out with everybody together (or via group text/messenger) to see if everybody has the same goals. Maybe offer to work with the drummer alone for an hour between rehearsals to tighten yourselves up if that's an option. If his weasel-ness outweighs his gifts brought to the band, it wouldn't take long for the other 2 to recognize that he needs to go.

No, in the downstairs potty.........

I am also a Browns fan. You have my sympathy.

Browns...talk about drama. That whole organization has been a hot mess for a long time.

There was certainly a hot mess in the Super Bowl this morning.....

There are very few people on the planet who have never trash talked anybody ever. If somebody thought they were so perfect that nobody had anything bad to say about them to somebody else, I've got news for them.

So... because most everyone has trash talked others at one point or other and because others are probably trash talking you right now that makes it acceptable to keep doing it for the rest of your life even though at some point you may realize that absolutely nothing good ever comes from it?

OMG!!! A band member wants to add songs, get a website and a band name. The jerk! What’s next? He wants to gig? Double jerk!!

Weren’t you trying to start a band? Or did you just want a jam session every two weeks?

^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^

hmm. i like mustard. i like it a lot. but i don't typically put it on honey smacks. to each his own i guess.

lol. he thought you were talking about video games. but you were talking about a deuce. priceless.

 

[Downunderwonder]

for the record, I like Tuna Casserole...

Well there's your problem!

But seriously, the weasle showed his stripes after the one rehearsal? Was that the first ever or just the first with the weasle?

How many weeks had everyone had the first dozen tune list?

It sounds like he's going to take over the operation and probably fire the other two when they can't keep up.

I also forgot to mention that the "weasle" and drummer are good friends.
It was hub/wife (keys/vocals) and 2 friends (drums/guitar) and then me (bass)...

well that explains it. in the pic, your thumb and the mustard were in focus and the stuff in the bowl wasn't. I just took a stab based on what I saw. Now on to those natto beans. they are indeed dreaded and epic. i tend to view them as more on the dreaded side than the epic side. but again- to each his own. you wanna eat nattos? go for it. you want to put mustard on sweetened puffed rice breakfast cereal? go for that too. i'm rootin' for ya 100%!

We played that song...

 

[lfmn16]

Did you actually mean it was his right, or he was correct?

both.

OP, I think you need some education in being a BL.

You started the band. Seems to me you needed to put your BL hat on and make decisions in the best interest of YOUR band.

Seems like you retreated and let the other guy take over.

Just curious, how were you going to get gigs?

 

[Sixgunn]

both.

I knew it!!!
