Recommended Posts

All these have happened to me recently:


The singer's buggered off to Bulgaria to sell timeshare apartments without telling anybody

The porn studio next door has complained about the noise

The drummer's headbutted the tailgate of his car and has had to go to A&E

The rehearsal barn has nesting bats and we can't disturb them

The lead guitarist has injured himself taking down some shelves


What has everybody else had to put up with?

[color=#000000][font=Calibri]Some original ones there and please feel free to make whatever jokes you like about the first one (woof! Woof!) [/font][/color]
[font=Calibri][color=#000000]But the best thing about all these is that they were all made by singers. In fact; most of them were made by the same singer who went on to the “lame excuses hall of fame” by cancelling a gig that had been a firm booking for 6 months and ultimately causing the band to split with the following offering……[/color][/font]

I have had these excuses...

"Can we reschedule this week? My dog is expecting to give birth."

"The studio we booked this week got shut down because of a drug raid by the cops."

"I really fancy a curry this week...shall we all do that instead?"

"I don't have any drum sticks."

"Oh...I didn't realise that I got the gig and you wanted me to come back after the audition!?"

"I ran out of weed and I had to sell my guitar."

"I went to Tesco's to buy milk for the tea tonight and when I got back to the car some d*** reversed full pelt into me an 2 other cars in the car park."

"Can't make it tonight because you all do my head in." (we took that as his resignation!)

"I really fancy a curry this week...shall we all do that instead?" I WANT TO BE IN A BAND WITH THAT PERSON

"I don't have any drum sticks." FAR MORE CONSTRUCTIVE REHEARSAL WAS HAD BY WHOLE BAND?

"I ran out of weed and I had to sell my guitar." HOW MUCH WEED DO THEY SMOKE?

Why weren't you recording the soundtracks for them ? (A band I was in did a sleazy version of [i]Feelin' Alright[/i] which had me using wah on the guitar and some said it sounded like a porn soundtrack :blush: )

We're supposed to stop playing at 10 pm because after that they're filming. One week we went on to 10-15 and there was a complaint. I think we were doing Mustang Sally at the time. So to speak.

"I am expecting my period" is one that left me a bit speechless. It was a girl who said it but i didn't really know what to say to her.

"My strings are too old" >?>?

"My car is hanging off a wall" and it was. Literally balancing on a wall.

"I have been arrested"

All of these i can verify as being true except the first one...
