I want to bail on a gig on Sat. Can I ?

Post by Sasquatch »

My buddy told me that they need somebody to just play some leads Saturday. I told him a couple of weeks ago that I would. He initially told me also that it wasn't really important if someone played leads or not because they have done gigs without a lead player before. There are already two guys in the band play guitar. There is a rhythm guitar Guy on an acoustic and another guy playing rhythm on electric can play some solos. I would be the third guy. Basically, I'm just going to be showing up and scoring around in the modes for the songs. That's about it. The downside is that I have to wear a tie and a vest and I have to play stuff like Spice Girls. No, I am not lying. Spice freaking girls.

I want to jump ship. Can I ? Pays $100 but not worth it.

My initial thought is: Is the guy a close enough friend where you don't mind bailing on him or is he a close friend that you don't mind doing favors for? :lol:

I had to take leave and go home bc in the process of taking my clothes off I apparently didn't unbutton my shirt and instead ripped it off.

I would do it, kinda sounds like fun to be honest, provided there's a good crowd.

All you have to do is wank around in key; no real pressure there :fap:

All things being equal, a chance to get out and play in front of people with virtually none of the responsibility for making sure the band/show is "good" seems like a win/win, to me. Maybe I'm just missing gigging at the moment? :idk: Do you like to jam? Then go and have fun, even if the songs are lame as hell. Hey, lame songs sometimes mean hot chicks dancing & being silly ~ so maybe we're talking win/win/...win? :o

I'd bail. That sound gay as fuck.


If your friend questions it tell him to take the dick out of his mouth before addressing you.

Playing lead guitar for a crown that will likely be a bunch of hot chicks (at least based on the shitty music). Fucking sounds like a fucking win to me.

True. Spice girls with harmonic minor solos that are way too loud. I might could make that work.

I have a peavey xxx and could sound check with clean and rhythm and keep ch3 a +9db surprise and then try to fit some hangar 18 stuff in there between verses and choruses.
