I can't imagine why they would have sacked such a level headed fellow.

Weirdly the last thing I read before this thread was a quote from Mornats in tommorichards' sig.


[quote]"[color=#282828][font=helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=4]A band never auditions a drummer. If the drummer turns up and doesn't kill anyone they've got the job. And even then, it depends on which band member they kill..."[/size][/font][/color][/quote]

Wouldn't happen in Suffolk, would it?

Does anything happen in Suffolk?

[/quote] In a word, "No". Even Bilbo has to go to Colchester (Essex) to make things happen.

But.... Reading the article it says "[color=#2E2E2F][font=pt-serif, Georgia, serif][size=4]The band is made up of Iranians who have been in the country for a while.."[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#2E2E2F][font=pt-serif, Georgia, serif][size=4]"IS" you mean after all the shootings the band is STILL in existance? [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#2E2E2F][font=pt-serif, Georgia, serif][size=4]Surely they mean "was". I've heard the old one of "the show must go on"but this would be an achievement.[/size][/font][/color]

Yes I saw this story. My niece is over in the states at this very moment recording her first album with her band Honeyblood. She told me she was out on the town in Williamsburg Brooklyn, with her drummer, as she had the weekend off. Then I wake this morning to read about a massacre of musicians in Williamsburg! I just about choked on my muesli!

She's kicking whom..?

Heard this on the Dutch radio this morning. Apparently the shooter wasn't from the same band, but from another Iranian band in the US. They used to hang out together but wouldn't anymore.

I didn't think so - my shock was imagining what you must have been thinking before you could confirm it after seeing the news story.

Time stood still for a few seconds until I read the whole story.

[flyfisher]

I bet!

What I found curious was that the perpetrator went on the roof and "Shot himself to death". It makes me wonder how many shots it took.

Well, being a drummer he probably..... er, no. I won't. Probably bad taste.
