lol yeah I don't know what to tell you there. :rolleyes:
This discussion just brings back memories of a singer we worked with right after high school. He was a great singer but insisted on writing his own lyrics which were absolutely dreadful. We eventually stopped playing with him mainly because we wanted to make cool music but, also because it was impossible to keep a straight face when reading/listening to his words. It's hard not to feel like an A**hole when someone hands you a sheet with lyrics they say are really meaningful to them and you can't help but laugh because it's full of lines like "You are just a flat tire on my road of life". Ten years later and we still reference that line whenever someone comes up with bad lyrics.

haha no, this was in the band before... like when i had been playing drums for like 4 months and sh*t.

the extra beat helped me with bad poetry. then i learned how to play it correctly soon after we disbanded.

:(

That's amazing! Hahaha.

But I'm Jesus.

Well at least your band will never be short on wine.

Amen.

More Random tips:

If you're really serious about the band you're in, please PLEASE practice twice a day! You'll guarantee to be more tight than ever.

Always give credit where it's due, no matter how good or bad your live show turned out. Always thank your members for playing the show and for doing their best. This will make your members feel better about themselves and will want to continue to work with you. And to all you non-leaders....be sure to thank your leaders for doing their best to book the show (like I said...no matter how the show turns out) and for working so hard to keep the band going.

Make sure you pants the singer on stage periodically to keep him humble.

Solid advice :thumb:

I don't think I've ever had what I would consider a good or even a bad show. My band always gets gigs in places where people won't be paying attention to the band. But it is good to practice, the toolbox percussionist in my group is pretty slow on the uptake of themes that the rest of the band develops. Without practice we would sound like cacophony. Not the cacophony that we generally go for, the bad one.
