This thread is for the purpose of capturing all those great-yet-horrible stories of your life as a musician playing live music. These stories might include such things as:
- band mates who just didn't work out, and the story explains why...
- gigs where the accommodations did not meet your expectations or standards
- how about that time where you got booked at a place that was NOT the right audience for your music?
- crazy audience members / fans / groupies (try to keep it PG-13)
- nefarious club owners who tried to cheat you out of the agreed upon deal
- the night somebody's gear stopped working and what happened next...
- the guy in the audience who took an irrational dislike for somebody in the band and tried to stir up some drama...
- gigs with famous artists
- missed or seized career opportunities
- booking agent drama!
- band girlfriends and how they (sometimes?) undermine the band
- the time the club caught on fire or the police came or whatever...
- the time somebody spilled a pitcher of beer on your amp/drums
- the time somebody knocked your bass off the guitar stand and snapped the head right off
- and of course, we all want to hear about the time somebody stole your gear
- any other event, real or imagined, that has entertainment value
ready? set? GO!!
