Depressing things your bandmates say.

[arthurhenry]

When they don't seem quite as commited as you. I've heard these two many times:

"I haven't played my guitar/drums/keyboards since the last rehearsal."

"I wouldn't want to gig more than a couple of times a week."

[lemmywinks]

"Lets do Summer of 69"

[burno70]

If you're not on the same page then your best offing the individuals concerned or offing yourself - and the sooner the better.

[rOB]

"I can't confirm whether I'm free for a gig next month until a week before the date of the show"

Murder or suicide? That's a bit extreme mate!

With a .44 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 29, presumably?

'This extremely well paid corporate gig that we have had booked since last year....... yeah I can't do it now'

[hillbilly deluxe]

When you've spent all week learning a set for a dep gig and the singer says,during sound check,"the bass is all on the backing track,so just turn down and play along" ??????????

I've been guilty of this on many an occasion, as living circumstances meant I couldn't drum at home.

[Geddys nose]

'I didn't think much of that song so I didn't learn it' After all the rest of the band did..

Arrrgh!! we had several calls last week to do that as an encore, only I knew it, so sadly the email I sent my band this week said exaclty that!! Oh the shame!

[Clarky72]

"Let's do 500 Miles for the encore, everyone loves it...."

oh god!!

[Linus27]

When you have been working on a song and written a great bass line that uses harmonics and open strings of a fretless for the songwriter to say they have changed the key so your very cool bass lines does not work anymore and you have to start all over from scratch again gggrrrr

Holy crap! I would actually rather f*ck The Proclaimers than do that number.

[Bassistclem]

Drummer, "I would like to sing this one"

[Bassistclem]

"can you stick to root fifth on this tune"

[mcgraham]

Anything that a band leader with communication skills at the level of small children for whom English is a brand new third language stops a rehearsal to say:

"Alright lets stop there - there are a few really important things to remember that are coming out here, such as, I think, to make sure that, when we kick in, that we cover the parts, and give it a flow, and not rush it, but not do it too slowly, and generate some momentum with the piece rather than no momentum, and the vocals need to be so tight, rather than loose, so that we're all singing the same thing, but just then I don't think we were, or perhaps we were, but I get the feeling perhaps we weren't....hmmm I'm not sure..."

??!?!?!?!?!?? HOW CAN SOMEONE TALK SO MUCH BUT SAY SO LITTLE!?!?!? IF YOU'RE NOT SURE DON'T OPEN YOUR MOUTH IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!

+1, It's like when they start going "we're not sure you can be part of this process any more" as if they're alan f***ing sugar or something.
