We did have a problem with a lead vocalist when we were a 5 piece, but we don't anymore as we became a 4 piece (and gave ourselves a wage rise at the same time ;-))

This is a top way to cause some fookin ructions in bands across the North West if ever there was one! haha.

No real "johnny let-downs" in the spidermonkeys. Obviously no band is perfect but overall I think it would be harsh to give someone in our band such a title. Saying that though I have been in bands before wheere there has been people deserving of such a title, and it was the lead guitarist.

After having lessons from the age of three by the time he was 16 his guitar teacher told him not to bother turning up coz he couldnt teach him anything more.

Problem was, he took that the teacher meant band practice too. So he would turn up at gigs, and proceed to play massive solos to the standard of Steve Vai but the thing was he was in a completely different key to the rest of the band. What a tosser

Schoolboy errors that could have been avoided by turning up for practice

We take turns at being a pain in the ass. At the moment it`s the bass player needing to cancel / swap dates. Next month it might be my turn, who knows ? I try not to bother too much cos we all have family commitments etc.
The drummer does a lot of session work which sometimes gets in the way. Our sound engineer sometimes gets high paid gigs which get in the way. Our guitarist sometimes has expensive holidays which get in the way. Me ? ...I`m just a twat.

well its me in mine...I do all of the above , getting gigs..etc and I can even fall out with meself over stupid things but heyas it was so elliquently put by mr catdog ..i'm just a twat..ha ha

Ah, they're what we refer to as ex-bandmembers.
Anyone guilty of any of the above gets the boot.....
LGIT demand 100% from our members.....life's too short to get dicked about by time-wasters.

Hahahahah. There's a lot of it about. Bloody musicians. ;o)

# Posted by ST Photography - VIVA LA COMMU... - 31/03/2010, 13:28 (GMT)

+1 for LGIT. I say "shit or get off the park". Unless everyone is giving 100% there's no way you can enjoy it, and if you can't enjoy it, what's the point?

# Posted by Bad Horsie (Mick) - 31/03/2010, 14:17 (GMT)

""shit or get off the park"."

Is this a Darwenism? :oO

Hahahah! DarwEn, not DarwIn, you odd fish. lol

# Posted by James - Metalleeka - 31/03/2010, 15:03 (GMT)

is ST from Darwen??

# Posted by Roj (Black Rose) - 31/03/2010, 20:51 (GMT)

All of TL. LOL

# Posted by ST Photography - VIVA LA COMMU... - 01/04/2010, 13:14 (GMT)

Nooo, I'm not from Darwen. Nor can the quote be attributed to Darwin.

I thought it was a fairly stock phrase. It's pretty self explanatory to be fair.

# Posted by LAST GANG IN TOWN - 01/04/2010, 13:29 (GMT)

ST....nice phrase, but I like taking the kids to the park.

# Posted by John Wilkinson: - 02/04/2010, 22:21 (GMT)

We won't have such a person in our band.

All share responsibilities for band. I may do driving, Wrex books gigs, Tony gets sounds for keyboards and writes bass lines etc and Mark is still busy learning over six hours of Genesis and Collins music.

# Posted by ANDY STOTTON ex tranzmission - 11/04/2010, 17:13 (GMT)

i think any bands doomed to fail if one of the members is a slacker and i wouldnt put up wi it no matter how good they are

# Posted by Ian from Bolton - 11/04/2010, 17:18 (GMT)

As a three piece, I have to say that all is actually wonderful with us.
