I love this gain
"My girlfriend gets mad at me if I don't go pick her up from work" (she's got a car and lives 5 min walking! and we all had gf's in that situation or worse)
a drummer we worked with who was diabetic:
"I need to stop for like 10 minutes, I gotta take my insulin"
pussy
I should probably tell you, that exercising lowers blood sugar, so if he was using playing drums as a reason to need insulin, he totally trolled you.
Well DUH. I mean, EVERY singer should eat ice cream before singing metal. Warming up vocal chords is for wimps. Ice cream...that's METAL!
When Marcus and I were practicing for the Apex Predator project, our drummer would bail on a regular basis.
The lamest excuse was "My little (he was in a fraternity) is smoking weed for the first time today I have to smoke with him".
I'm usually all in favor of this, but when used as a blatant excuse for ditching practice it's just sad.
The most irritating is when we left him voicemails and facebook messages stating that we have practice at a specified date and time and it was made clear we would be by at this time to pick up him and his kit. We call the day of, no answer. We call bullshit and swing 'round to his dorm anyway. We clearly see the light to his room is on, and we call again to no avail. I think Marcus actually went in and knocked on his door too.
He calls hours later saying he just woke up (like 10-11pm) and he's been super busy and hasn't checked his phone or facebook in days.
Funny part is that I brought up the fact that he had posted shit on facebook multiple times during that time period, and Marcus went on a vicious tirade of profanities whilst having dinner at our roommate's granparents house
thanks for the tip
doesn't matter really though .. he only lasted a couple months. He just wasn't a capable player
and he looked like Yoda
and we called him Yoda
and I have pics to prove it
