| i've had 2 mental/nervous breakdowns in the past couple weeks. i feel like shit. caffienatidjazz: ugh i'm having problem caffienatidjazz: s Elbies14: what type? caffienatidjazz: will, my good friend and guitarist and i havebeen in different combinations of the same band (same him, me, drummer) for the last 5 years. i want to play with other people because john is a dick, has a girlfriend, and isn't getting better on drums. he also cancells a lot of practices or jams at the last minute> caffienatidjazz: so i tried to jam with dan and will last weekend, and will called me an hour before and cancelled on me because he was in the play and he had 2 shows, all night party caffienatidjazz: so i was pissed but didn't ask it and called dan and told him maybe another time caffienatidjazz: i never miss a practice. i mold my schedule around music caffienatidjazz: and john is not dedicated caffienatidjazz: but will is an amazing guitarist, and a cool dude caffienatidjazz: so i cant get a good band together that'll progress caffienatidjazz: and i need to play with people caffienatidjazz: i'm having withdrawl caffienatidjazz: and he still wants to play with john caffienatidjazz: thats my problem caffienatidjazz: so will caffienatidjazz: funkmasterwp: theres just one question thats just been buggin me for some time, im trying to start a fight, but the curiousity is killing me....what do you have against john? because it seems if we jam alot, you love it and such, but as soon as we spend more than 2 weeks apart, you build up this idea that he is pulling us down...just a question, you dont have to answer it if you dont want to. caffienatidjazz: caffienatidjazz: he's immature. and i'm probly immature for saying that. but he's not serous, he's not into our music, and he hasn't improved very much. i just think i, or we (whichever comes first) should jam around. get to know other people and play with other people so we're not restricted to these three people (like we have been for 6 years) caffienatidjazz: *5 caffienatidjazz: funkmasterwp: ok, but...if you want to say that, you must agree that if were going to jam around, we should compare with john....in other words, saturday jam with friend/ sunday jam with john...etc. caffienatidjazz: ummm, we've been playing with john for years, we know what he sounds like. if you and him can't make one day a week what makes you think we'd be able to make two caffienatidjazz: we jam on average, once or twice every 3 weeks caffienatidjazz: and every time we do jam, if i have to, i put off shit, or i sacrifice sleep. because i love it, and it doesnt happen often. caffienatidjazz: its just frustrating, and i want to progress, but we can't. caffienatidjazz: as a band that is caffienatidjazz: funkmasterwp: and thats cause we go to school....what im saying is...dont be closed minded, dont reject john no matter what, cause beleive it or not, hes not to bad, and what happens if your friend isnt all hes cracked up to be? remember when ross jammed with us? we thought we were good, then john stepped in and blew ross away....we just need comparison, and you cannot blame it on john, cause its THE BANDS fault, we all have problems, and we all work to correct them, i told john to work on his time...hes sat down with a metronome and done that. funkmasterwp: im asking a favor...not an argument caffienatidjazz: blah blah blah caffienatidjazz: caffienatidjazz: well. i guess. all i'm saying is that i want to jam, and i'm ready whenever. i just want to improve and keep playing with better musicians. and if i cant do that with you for whatever reasons, then i'll look for other people. i want to play with you, but i'm just as frustrated as you caffienatidjazz: if you want to jam, ill jam. i'm open all the time. i dont have anything to do otherwise. caffienatidjazz: funkmasterwp: morally, i should go with john, but musically with you. caffienatidjazz: thats all caffienatidjazz: thats my story Elbies14: those are real problems caffienatidjazz: i had to spill it to someone Elbies14: you should do both though Elbies14: i have friends who are irresponsible as hell Elbies14: i hate it so much caffienatidjazz: both what caffienatidjazz: i cant jam with dan cos i dont have a guitarist caffienatidjazz: and i cant jam with will because i dont have a drummer |
