A week ago I had a huge fight with my pothead singer, now I am bandless and don't give a fuck. Band drama sucks.
Yes, yes it does.
Music doesn't attract the sane and stable.
If someone is too stoned to play songs that THEY wrote, I lose interest...but I AM the bad guy, lol. Fuckin ridiculous. Too many 'musicians' are in it to be 'rock stars' and getting high/drunk, while making excuses for shitty playing ('it's more about passion than precision'). SO SICK OF IT ALL!!
I've long since lost patience. I retired for a long time and now just play with a professional band when I need my itch scratched. I pretty much set the band up and now just perform when I'm home and feel like performing - or at the better shows and venues. It works well 'cause they're all adults and professionals.
