Kill him. Problem solved. lol
Come on people, really? JUST TALK TO HIM. This is not a huge deal.
"Dude, you smell kinda bad. It's unpleasant, especially in close spaces. Can you make sure to shower and use deodorant before every practice and show? Cool."
Done.
The second one seems to be the best route.
But if all else fails, take out a CL ad after you dump the body.
A bit OT, but being that I used to travel ALL the time, I'm the worst person for being NOT PC when it comes to things like this when on a plane/train etc....
If you sit down next to me and the first thing I do is smell you, I'm asking for a new seat for me or you.
Yes, I told flight attendents to find other people a new seat.
Or if you're too big to fit in one seat and pour over into mine.......bad bad day for someone, and it's not me.
Yes I'm that guy on the plane that pretty much everyone wants to be, but can't/won't.
You smell? "Excuse me flight attendent...I need a new seat"
"Why? Can I get up and talk to you privately?"
I do and tell them why- If I gotta be stuck in a tube for a few hours, I'm not gonna be suffering anymore than I have to by the smell OR their body parts flowing into my seat all over me.
If they can't get me a new seat, get me on the next flight now.
I've literally been sitting in my seat and have had a hulk of a woman who could barely make it down the isle, stop to check her ticket and make an attempt to sit down next to me.
The only time I had to actually leave the plane for another one, was when I looked at her and said "Oh you have GOT to be kidding?!?!???? Umm....NO"
This cow got ALL pissed off. Flight attendents, the Captain and gate attendents all come on the plane.
I had a field day with it.
(No kidding when I say this woman would not have been able to sit in one seat).
Another woman on the plane called me "rude and un-excuseable".
When I asked her to switch seats though, she wouldn't reply to me.
I actually got a few thumbs up from some other passengers as I was leaving.
My next flight (45 min later)...first class.
My point with all this is,say something.
For me, there is ZERO excuse or reason I/you/we should be subjected to someone else's lack of personal hygene.
Pull him aside and be honest and not mean.
If he gets pissy, then be like "dude, you may think I'm being a jerk, but I'm doing you a favor, you smell like hair covered dog crap burning on a pile of garbage".
The you and the rest of the band on the way to the gig, stop at the manual car wash place, get $2.00 in quarters, load up the sprayer, and let him have it........
