A Seriously Messed Up Situation With My Friends. Some Advice please...... - Page 4

Sarah · #46 08-31-2007, 02:51 PM

i finally got to use one of those press things when i was 18 or 19 years old. a friend and i were having practically the same discussion you and i are now, and he went out and picked some up for me to play with. we were very, very high at the time.

i made an "aerial view of new york city" (which, it's not actually nyc, i just called it that). i let it dry, and i STILL HAVE IT. it's moved with me 3 times without breaking. i just keep it on the windowsill. for no good reason other than, hey, it's survived for this long.. i can't just toss it out. :O

i'll take a crappy phone cam picture for the random photo thread later. it's ~art~ considering i'm a play-doh novice. lol.

There's nothing to defend, and it's not disrespect. His situation has been addressed, and conversation has progressed in a normal fashion... one comment leading to another, etc.

well. i tried to take a picture of the play-doh new york. but it doesn't turn out. it comes out looking like a turd, and i think you meatsacks all know what a turd looks like, so i'm not going to bother posting. but, if by chance, i try again and it comes out (HA HA), i will show you.

If talking about the wonders of Play-Doh is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

You are my role model.

I think you need to stay out of it. It's not your fight. Your bandmates don't have to be your friends, and your friends don't have to be your bandmates. It's nice when they are, but the band is more of a business relationship, not a personal one.

So much of rock is the bad attitude. Listen, I understand where you're coming from, having been there myself. What I've learned, actually just recently, is that you can be the soccer mom "let's organize times" guy, or you could be the boss and let them know up front that they can easily be replaced and that bull**** won't be tolerated. The key there is you need to be confident in yourself to be effective in this role.

Do the gig with "icky people" and the next day or week announce to the school paper that you've kicked these guys out and are looking for new players. Say something like "they're good players, but I don't feel they were the right players for the direction I was wanting to take my music". It makes you look important AND it makes them look like idiots. As for the girl, NO! You are purely plutonic. Otherwise, some jackasses stealing wine will seem pretty minor.

No matter what group of people you get, you're never going to see eye-to-eye on everything. To be in a band, you have to let things slide. It's not always easy. As I said, bands are more of a business relationship. The golden rule is that if it hurts the band, they're out.

Finally, QUIT THINKING SO MUCH and worrying about what other people think! If you're confident in it, if you think your stuff is good, then keep doing it regardless. Never take the attitude that it's an honor for me to perform this for you. Always take the attitude that it's an honor for you that I'm here performing. It may sound cocky/arrogant. Whatever. Anyways, overthinking will totally screw with your performing.

Why is that?

I think Chrissie Hynde said it best..

"Try to not have a sexual relationship within the band. It always ends in tears."
