CrAzy time with BaNd people..

[1031]

So I was playing with some people for a few weeks, things just were not working out " the vocalist's husband the drummer'" could not hold time or do a roll with out just falling out. He said he was just rusty , he didnt improve at all. So being that it was a package deal with the " fantastic vocal wife" and the crappy Hubby drummer, at the three week mark I let them know I appreciated the opportunity but didnt feel it was a good fit for me.
So the wife starts e-mailing over and over and calling me alternating between " how much of a quitter I am " to lets work this out. I tell her that I am just not interested and not sure why she keeps bugging me. I did some guitar repair work on two of there kids guitars, Thats how I met them. So the husband call's me and goes hey I am going to drop by the cash for the repairs you did..... I was positive he all ready paid me and told him so. He kept saying nope I still owe you. I took the opportunity to let him know his wife was bugging me over the music thing and it was getting uncomfortable.

So he stops by the house, I am mowing the lawn, he takes out $50 bucks and says, take this because I dont want anyone to say I owe you..
Being quite dumbfounded I ask ... so you did pay me before? Ya but you did us a favor on one repair so heres your fucking money. I tell him if I already charged you and you paid we are square dont trip on it were good. he tosses the money in my yard and heads to his truck. I am just staring at him, thinking what the hell is his problem is this kindergarten or what.. I say listen If your upset about me leaving the band it just wasn't working and if you remember it was a kinda trial thing anyway, wish ya the best sure you'll do fine.
So I go back to mowing the lawn, he decides to peel his truck out wheel around the corner and shouts I don't want fucking quitters in my band and almost hits my kid. He speeds down the street.

Two things happen at this point, one, I am now steaming pissed and two he didn't know he went down a dead end street and now has to go back by my house and come to a stop...

I walk up to the truck and say you realize you almost hit my kid, "ya" so I bitch slap him " thats for being a pussy and then I dot him right in the eye.. and thats for being a fucking dick and a shitty drummer. I turn and go back to mowing the lawn. ... He drove off the emails have stopped. I took the wife to dinner on the $50 bucks.

The whole thing left me with a " what the fucking hell man !"

WTF!!!

Holy crap! Crazy times man. What a bunch of weirdos. Could the wife sing ok?

How could she not see how bad he is?

[1031]

She was a very good vocalist, thats why I gave it three weeks. I even told him at least once he needed to work his timing issues out. The whole deal was just freaking weird, I honestly never even thought it a big deal till it got weird. You know you play with a lot of people some times it works other times not so much you just thank everyone and move to the next, or they thank you and the same deal. I never take that personal or try to burn a bridge because you never know who else in the room you meet down the road in another sit in or band.

Thats also the first time I have struck another person in 15 yearrs, and the last time it was some idiot grabbed my wifes ass and that was after he did it again after a warning and he got all creepy I will fuck her if I want statement.

haha . i caught a guy vandalizing one of my brown cars, when i confronted him he ran into his car and sped off.. but like your story he didn't know it was a dead end and had to come back. I stood in the street after calling the police and waited for him to come.. only problem he was going 50 right at me (in a 10 mph street) and he wasn't going to stop. Pretty much I had to jump out of the way star wars death star style.. just then police showed up and saw the whole thing. Guy gets locked up and was wanted for lots of theft. Last time I stand in the middle of the street to stop a guy though.
