Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

They did! I was like, "WTF?" It looked like they were aiming just ahead of it, so that's what I thought they were trying - to intersect it on the angle we were at. Then, it started to go out of sight on the left and they said the object (forgot the name already) was dead ahead and that they were on target. It took me that long to learn that.

Also, fuck me...

The band's drummer is being courted by another band. They tour alongside some major-ish metal bands. He'd take a cut in pay (I guess) but be able to do his own thing with original music. I told 'em to do what he thinks is best but at least give the band a few months to replace him.

Meh... I doubt he'll go anywhere. They're set up quite nicely as it is. He gets paid more than anyone else in the band, so he's probably not going anywhere - but I can appreciate wanting to play your own music and not play the same 40 songs every weekend, sometimes twice in a weekend.

Does he have his own music and is the band going to play his songs? Or will he be playing their music?

Is doing the same 20 originals every night much different than doing those 40 cover songs?

I must have been paying more attention as I knew they were not aiming at the first rock there

He'd be playing their music and whatever he contributes to the band.

Gotta admit, while I do love (and prefer) a cover band (for reasons long since stated), the draw to do original work/work with your peers to bring new things to an audience is attractive.

This is the band that's asking him to play:

So, I'm not too worried about him leaving. He was likely just floating the idea in front of me to get a second opinion and see what I replied with. I don't see him doing this - but he might, and I'd wish him all the best without malice. People come and go in the industry, it's just a fact of life.

And, I was not paying nearly enough attention. I was flipping back and forth with some obligations on another pair of sites - plus you!

LOL I'm often doing way too much at the same time. This one browser has 99 tabs open. A second browser has 56 tabs open.

So, I'm pretty occupied.

I just got off the phone with Verle. He is back at home, they hooked him up with some oxygen tanks and an oxygen machine in his apartment with a tube that is long enough for him to go to the bathroom and the kitchen and his bed without taking it off. Says he has COPD

Man, I am listening to that band right now. If he goes ahead and joins that band, he will be playing for much smaller audiences. Yikes
