We got bumped for.....Pitbull?

[EdHunter]

I'm gonna stick up for OP here.

He gets booked by a decent guy into a great club at a great time. However, the owner messes up, and the audience is not there to support the decision he's made. therefore, one would have a right to have a go at him. As for the jamming, I'd have said yes, just 'cus I love any chance to play Sabbath...

But in regards to the weed/booze thing, I doubt that that was what made the evening such a trainwreck. Last time I checked, weed and booze makes anything and everything acceptable...

That said, booing the Bells is a bit far. Maybe mention it afterwards, but praps not during the show.

 

[Korladis]

Pretty much agree, EdHunter. The club owner screwed up in a way that basically ****ed the bands over (as well as the people who'd paid to come see them). I think any retaliatory ****ing over he got was deserved.

I thought the story was great. I could imagine Peter Sellers playing the lead role in the eponymous movie.
I could even excuse the booing. Sounds like it was incontinent in nature, an inadvertent reaction to a travesty. Something you couldn't help, like farting during a sneeze.

Eagerly awaiting the sequel.

 

[sloasdaylight]

Yea, Booing the bassist was over the line, but the **** inside the first club was pretty good.

Sorry but I couldn't even read the original post it was to long and when I went out behind my house to smoke some weed I forgot what I was doing...........hey look a squirrel

 

[Drifta]

Somewhere, that other guy/band is making a similar thread about the OP being a complete douche.

 

[80'sRocker]

Got dozens of these stories but don't feel like typing them out on the keyboard lol

Pfffffffft.

 

[J. Crawford]

Can I have my 5 minutes back?

 

[5string5fingers]

Can I have my 5 minutes back?

Sure,take that time to go down a beer and smoke a blunt.

Maybe this post is supposed to be better after 4 beers and a few doobies?

 

[JimmyM]

sorry, but my story about my metal band in the 80's is better. we spent 4 hours setting up our ridiculously big pa and lighting in this club for a week stint, start our soundcheck, then the manager of the club informs us that the bar was just sold and was shutting down immediately. so we spent another 2 or 3 hours tearing down. the next day we went to try to talk to someone about getting paid (yeah, right! hey, we were kids...what did we know?), and there were all these really effeminate construction guys working on it. turns out the new owners turned it into a gay bar!

and we had nary a joint and no money to buy any beer. so my story clearly had the higher level of bad stuff happen, it was funnier, shorter, and didn't set a bad example for the kids.

Well, to hell with everyone else Jimmy, I'm inspired damnit!

 

[undeadbass]

This sort of thing happens on LI all too often, especially in the metal scene. Hence, why I moved.

BTW - how was Circadian Skism? I've know Brian for about a decade now, and haven't had the chance to see his new project.

 

[knigel]

If there had been more dance-related items in the OP, I would have sworn this was a DeluxeRed thread.

 

[LaklandBass]

I find the OP to tell a good story. Ive been in those situations... they suck and sometimes you just have to let loose.

 

[JAUQO III-X]

Pitbull and his Kodak commercial.

 

[KUNGfuSHERIFF]

I have a similar gig story. At my gig the dance club people got caught in a crazy downpour while they were in line outside while the club was being switched from live music to a DJ.

 

[OmnitzGarima]

when I went out behind my house to smoke some weed I forgot what I was doing...........hey look a squirrel

Are you sure? It looked like a chipmunk to me.

 

[OmnitzGarima]

you could, more productively, say nothing.

I agree. Hey, look, a chipmunk!

 

[smperry]

I need to move. Immediately.
