hey everyone here i need some help.

after about 2 years, our guitarist has practiced at home about 30 minutes TOTAL without us telling him to. so we told him that he needed to practice, and he took his guitar home for 2 days. we kept telling him and he took it home 1 more day. (in this span of 3 days, he was supposed to learn 2 patterns for a song, and still didn't learn them) he's with his girlfriend every chance he gets, and he only comes to practice with us when she's gone away somewhere.

so we decided to get rid of him, since we've had another guitarist practice with us for the last few months. i volunteered (the other 2 were too scared, it's mostly me who wants him out) to tell him that he's out, but i can't think of a way to say it without him getting really pissed off and thinking that we don't still want to be friends with him.

any suggestions on what to say so he doesnt think its just me kicking him out, and so he doesnt think we hate him?

Ethan. 07-21-2005 01:30 PM

Just tell him you/the band don't think he's serious enough about music. How long has he been with you guys? If he says he can prove himself, just tell him he has had that much time to do it. Tell him how lame it is that you have to ask him to practice. That is not serious about music.

Or you could just tell him he's out.

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 01:35 PM

he's been in the band with us for almost a year and a half. the only thing he wants to do is to play shows, even though less and less people come to our shows because he doesnt take time to practice, so everything guitar-wise is terrible. he leaves it up to the singer to play lead too.

so far, i've got these main points "(the other guitarist) is better than you already, and he's only been playing for 2 months" "it doesn't matter if you'll practice now, because that'll only be temporary" and "you don't care about making the music any better. we all want something better to play, and it takes you weeks to learn a song we had to strip down so that you could play it."

as you can see, those are pretty harsh statements. i don't want it to come off like that.

Jezen 07-21-2005 01:36 PM

Yeah Freebyrd that is a good excuse. Better than mine. I cant remember mine.

Futuro 07-21-2005 01:37 PM

[QUOTE]any suggestions on what to say so he doesnt think its just me kicking him out, and so he doesnt think we hate him?[/QUOTE] tell him you and the rest of your band joined another band, and he cant play in it cause its progressive rap, then say you cant make time for the current band. told that to a chick lead singer i had before (works every time)

right now im in a band, i play guitar, and drum, then my friend plays bass. we are looking for someone who can sing and someone to play guitar, but for now im recording to midi files, we already have some songs done, but im afraid to post it cause someone might steal something :angry:

Ethan. 07-21-2005 01:47 PM

Where did Harrow go? I was wondering about his carbon fiber snare drum that he was going to steal from the factory. :lol:

Jezen 07-21-2005 01:55 PM

Oh yeah! I think we need an official missing persons thread.

Ethan. 07-21-2005 01:59 PM

You were missing for a while. Some people were worried you died in the bombings. I don't know if I should put "lol" there becuase the bombings aren't funny, but people thought you died in them, and I don't even know if that's funny or not...





LOL!

Jezen 07-21-2005 02:06 PM

Lol haha I found it hilarious when everypne replied: OMG Hes alive! :lol:

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 02:09 PM

^ haha that kind of thing happened to me. my band dropped out of battle of the bands (because of our guitarist) and i guess there was a rumor that i had mono. i came to school the next day and everyone was like "oh, you're ok. did you get treated? how sick were you?" and i didn't know what was going on for almost 2 hours when someone finally told me the rumor was that i had mono. :confused:

Jezen 07-21-2005 02:13 PM

Hahahaa :lol: good times.

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 02:31 PM

so anyways, im bored. so i'll tell you what i did last night. i attempted to go to bed at 12:20 (robert kennedy was boring on the daily show, i couldn't stand listening to him) so i laid in bed listening to my black maria cd (which i found after i thought i lost it 3 months ago) and realized i wasnt tired. i went to my basement and set my drums up in a different spot, so i'm not beind the rest of the band now. i'm now facing them from the side. then i re-arranged my room with my bed in the middle of the room, and an area for me to rock out while i play guitar :lol: , much more convenient. then i watched conan and still couldnt fall asleep. then i played guitar, then i played guitar in the dark (quite tough, takes practice not to have to look at where your hands are. then i laid in bed until i fell asleep at around 4 this morning.

Jezen 07-21-2005 02:33 PM

Now [I]that[/I] is a musicians solo night. I used to have nights like that all the time. All the great ideas pop into your head at night for some reason.

Ethan. 07-21-2005 02:35 PM

That is cool, setting up the drums to the side facing them. That would definetly be different.

Jezen 07-21-2005 02:40 PM

More live musicians need to realise that setting up the kit on the side of the stage is alot more entertaining for the crowd.

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 03:24 PM

hey i dont want to start a new thread, so i'll ask in here.

is there an easy way to take the "cb drums" off of my kick reso head? im re-tuning my bass drum and i'd like an all-black reso more than a big cb logo.

Jezen 07-21-2005 03:34 PM

Grab a regular knife from your kitchen. Doesnt have to be sharp. Run the edge over the logo backwards and forwards really quickly, as if your scratching a lotto ticket.

When the logo is gone, it will feel like winning the lottery because your kit will look that much better. ;)

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 03:38 PM

haha thanks. i was thinking about the knife, but i didn't know how sensitive a stock cb reso head would be to a knife blade. :lol:

if it rips, you owe me for a reso head!!! :evil:

Jezen 07-21-2005 03:39 PM

lol use a butter knife then! :p

My friend lives there too so I'm over there quite a lot.

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 04:15 PM

wow it's taking a long time to take that stuff off. the butter knife didnt work at all, so i used a steak knife. it wasn't going very fast, so i used a flathead screwdriver. that was the fastest one yet but its still taking a long long time. so i played drums for a while. i'll take the rest off tonight when i have nothing better to do.

Jezen 07-21-2005 04:29 PM

Mine scraped straight off. Probably because its an Ashton.

Win A Rabbit 07-21-2005 04:32 PM
