"Uncle Larry"
Anyone interested in some band drama?
My wife is so supportive of all my bands. She brings many people to my rock band gigs. (they're more local, and she can get people to attend) She takes pics, posts them on FB, provides feedback about our FOH sound, and generally is very helpful and a major asset to any band I'm in.
The guitarist in my now former rock band, has zero social graces whatsoever. Lets' call him Froggy. (he looks like a grown up version of Froggy, from "The Little Rascals")
Medically, my wife's grandmother is in a really bad way, and may not make it.
My wife is a big FB'er so naturally all her FB friends know this, including Froggy.
My wife took some pics of gigs, and Froggy was relentless in badgering her to post them on FB. My wife is generally unappreciated by Froggy, not just by this incident, so she decided to write Froggy an email stating such. In it she said that in light of her grandmothers condition, posting gig pics is low on the list. She also mentioned how under-appreciated by the band she felt, in light of the fact that she brings a good part of our audience to the shows.
Well Froggy fired back a nasty email, calling her stupid, she means nothing to him, everyone think's she's nuts, she's not a part of this band, and other unbelieveably atrocious belittling comments like "too many pills today? lol"
Well when I heard that I saw red and called him immediately and gave it to him with both barrels. I literally want to attack this man, so I can't be in a band with him anymore.
I'm not looking for validation or anything, just sharing. This is the same guy that, when I told him I needed a date 2 months into the future for a gig w/ my blues band, he told me I get 2 a year and this is my 2nd. Up until that point, I was very much into his band. After that point, he lost me.
After he MAJORLY insulted my wife he had the gall to say that he would bring the subject up at the next practice, AT MY HOUSE!
After I verbally told him I'm through with this band, (at 90 decibels) he kept messaging me thinking this could be worked out. I wrote back that I wouldn't be taking his calls anymore and to leave me alone. He says he wants to work it out, but I don't want to be associated with a caveman. He is the most inconsiderate, ungrateful, self centered, barbaric person I know. I'm so mad, but there's no way I can work with someone like that.
