Touching From a Distance

Great story. So I show up, we set up the drum kit, keyboard, and all the amps. No bass players showed up at all, so we set up the keyboard for some impromptu bass lines. It was pretty sick.

Anyways, not the point of the story. So these two super power metal dudes show up (a drummer and guitar player). Most of the players that come are just blues/jazz/indie-ish guitar players; so lots of pentatonic and major scales. These dudes step on stage, and the drummer just starts slamming his s**t. I think he broke 2 pairs of sticks in about 20 minutes. The guitar player is shredding with all these retarded power chords, while a blues guitarist is trying to fit his Tele into all the madness (which he somewhat managed to do).

These ******** turned the amps all the way up, and their s**t was just boring. The dude could really shred, but yeah. Not impressive in my opinion.

Anyways, boring story. But it was pretty funny to have that kind of pace change in the middle of all these awesome jazz/blues jams. I'll have to bring my camera next time and record a bit. Hopefully those idiots don't show up again.

Also, one of the guys offered to teach me to drum. So sweetness.

I hate retarded metal performers.
Anyone can move their fingers and tap.
I measure a guitarist by his performance and his ability to put his soul into the music.
And, anyway, a telecaster-wielding blues musician could beat a shredder anyday, in my opinion.

If someone came unprepared to play for me then I'd turn them away on the spot. What if they came like that to a live gig? I'm a nice person, but I'm nice within reason. If you don't even have your own pick, cable or other essential gear for practice then you might as well pack your bags and go back home.

Sorry for the triple post, but, I'm bored.
No. Come on. You ain't no musician unless you're good at losing things.
There was a post, something to do with musicians being messy and forgetful by blood. I always forget one thing, at minimum.
