Perfect band to join via Craigslist

He is only keeping the CL ad up until his cloning machine is complete.

Gigadead - death metal for computer geeks/IT people? This epitomizes one of the primary reasons why I TalkBASS: ENTERTAINMENT.

Next thread please...

I think it was going to be Gigadeth, just to one-up Megadeth. Then he switched "deth" to "dead" to avoid a lawsuit.

Don't forget: "Urinate before entering. If you're drinking a beer, pee in a bucket."

Awesome, can't wait for the super-serious isolated practice sessions that ends when he says they do where we all pee in buckets.

I had to wonder if the bucket rule was his way of saying "No women need apply." Too bad I don't live in MN; it might be fun to see how far I'd get in an audition.

Lastly.. 1. Gigadead is NOT a traditional "band". This means after the music is written, it does NOT change, EVER. This music is well produced by people with years of experience in the field, so don't ask to add anything to it or give your own musical input. If you do, I'll fire you in two seconds and not look back. 2. This is how it works.. You show up to practice or the show and get the job done, end of story. I especially don't want to hear about personal life. I find it to be particularly annoying. Please keep it to yourself, which means 3. Leave your personal life, significant others, friends and family at home. They wont be allowed in the practice area or studio under ANY circumstances. You can show off when you get on stage. 4. DURING PRACTICE SESSIONS: No cell phones, cameras, recording devices or ipod type devices in the studio area. Laptop and desktop computers are okay for running gear. No internet chat clients, email or messeging allowed. You can do that stuff after the session is over. Once you enter the studio, you stay until the practice session is over. Again, this means you don't use electronic devices for communication OR open the door for your friends and wander around like a kid at school recess. Further communication is not allowed once the session begins. Once you're in, devices are off and the door stays shut. When the session is over, go hard. I could care less after that. Urinate before entering. If you're drinking a beer, pee in a bucket.

Man ... what a piece of work ... who does he think he is?

I think I would piss on his sheet music.

Is there anybody on the face of this planet who would actually answer an add like this?

What kind of deranged mind would write an add like that?

And even if the music was good who would put up with that crap ... and the music is pretty awful ...

The band should be called DICKHEAD

 

[gjbassist]

Geez, what a tool! A band with no personal freedom, creative input or fun. He should change the name of the band to The Borg.

I dare someone to post a rebuttal ad on MSP CL and ask for opinions from former band members and acquaintances.

Sure but I would need to be spelled differently: DIKKHEDD

Or something similar.

THAT DUDE WOULD PROBABLY HUNT YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU PEE IN A BUCKET ... OR WORSE LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC

 

[wintremute]

I've been playing about three months, mainly with Rocksmith. Would this be a good opportunity for me to quit my job, leave my wife and kids, and move to St. Paul and live in my car or with a crack whore to join this band?

(p.s. I really like Country/Ska/Boy Band music)

I think the fact that you're writing this post means that you already know the answer. YES, YES, a thousand time YES.

I felt queasy. I had to shut 'er down.

.....

Likewise.
That was the best thing he said.

Somewhat amusing, though.
"...documentary, documenting, documentation..."
Einstein he's not.

Trailer Park Boys - you mean BUBBLES? Oh he can't possibly be BUBBLES!

Bubs is someone who would be AWESOME to hang with... OTOH this Craigslist guy is that balding, bloated, doughy unemployed ass clown who shows up at the High School 5 years after he was supposed to graduate so he can show off his bondo-and-spit '78 Camaro, bowie knife, and the scar where a baby alligator almost took off a nipple.

Bubbles on the other hand has NO three drink maximum and well, as far as 420 goes... Plus I bet Bubs is a better shredder any day of the week - he WAS Alex Lifeson's guitar tech ("Liquor and Whores," anyone? and no, that's NOT a trick question.)

True story that every Canadian knows? Mike Smith, the guy who plays Bubbles, was in a pretty famous band called Sandbox in the 90's.

I want to know how much the salary is. He says that it's his profession so I assume that it is already a successful and profitable venture. I wouldn't be willing to put up with his demands for less than a living wage.

 

[Aqualung60]

Suddenly I feel like smoking a joint, slamming down a six pack and punching this guy in the mouth.

Decent!

We need to know if the buckets will be provided. He may have a certain type of bucket that his years of experience has determined is the best for beer urination. I'm pretty sure plastic buckets are out, even if they're medical grade, and that metal buckets are in.

What's the best bucket for metal?

If he pays you to play, then play it his way.

KFC, obviously!
