musicians NOT to use

[Doctor J]

It's all about momentum.


And hip movement.

[Doddy]

I'd avoid using players who openly slag off their band leader and band members on a public forum.

Gibbler caught Goggle slipping his (Gibbler's) wife Libby the old French Mistake after a gig in Mannheim. When Libby Gibbler died in 2002 Goggle turned up at the funeral. The two men shook hands over the grave and peace returned to the world of jazz fusion. Ask Bilbo, he was there.

They're looking for a bass player, have been for a few months now and with good reason...

Spill the beans dude! I saw your comment on their page. Their slogan alone puts me off, as does the guy with the straightened hair. What's wrong with them?

Well i've only dealt with the lead guitar player, Dario, and he just seems to have this idea that just because they're getting somewhere (or they think they're getting somewhere) that it means they can afford to be ridiculously picky and act like they're too good for you.
I unfortunately made a wrong turn on the way to the audition (these things happen) and despite explaining it to him on the phone at the time, as well as sending him a PM afterwards and having spent a month practicing all the songs and missing out on a really good moho live gig that i'd been looking forward to for months to go to this crappy audition, he doesn't even so much as send me the smallest of PMs in 3 weeks. I know he's been busy, but i can pretty clearly see that he's most certainly been online in that amount of time, just a "yeah, we'll try to get another time for the audition" is all it would have taken. They came on here complaining of not being able to find a bass player, now i can see why

Big Rush fan drummer turned up for a fill in on rehearsals one night. Insisted on using exact Neil Whatsisname replica kit. Wouldn't accept help setting it up. 17 cymbals later we play for about half an hour and he starts breaking it down again because he needs to leave early.
He was a good drummer though.
