so I got kicked out of my band

So Sunday I show up to band practice and walk into one of those "we need to talk" things. If you are in a band you know what I was feeling. Me and the other guitar player were fighting a lot about little crap, nothing I thought I would get kicked out of the band for. but I guess he just got sick of me, and since he is the guy that runs the band what he wants goes. So he already found someone that would put up with his shit and I got the boot.

The weird thing is I'm not sad about not being in the band (cause I really wasn't having fun) I am more sad about the friends I just lost, the things I'm going to miss out on with my friends like the summer US tour we were planning. I'm going to miss the little things. Finding another band is no thing, I have already gotten like 15 other bands that want me. I have all the gear I need and the talent to play anything. But I don't want to play with people right now, it's like when you brake up with a girl, you don't want to rush into things with another girl, it's hard to trust them that they won't break your heart. all the hard work I did for almost 2 years, it's hard to go through and I don't wish this for ANYONE to go through this.

I just thought all you guys and girls that aren't in bands can see what people have to go through and the hard times etc.

I've gotten used to kicking myself out of bands and all that...and I've witnessed having to kick out other members as well, so I have a good idea of what you've gone through. I'm glad you're not butt hurt about it though.

you werent doing KID ROCK imitations were you?

i thought about kicking my singer out of the band i had inthe late 80's for doing a anthony from the chili peppers imitation.

well.. nothing sucks worse than telling your best friend that you're sick of playing in a band with him cos he's too lazy to keep practicing, and you don't wanna go in the same direction musically as him...

this is why i make music solely by myself now... fuck bands, the only way my CiRCLE no.5 project can break up is if i kill myself... not to mention you control your own sound, direction, you get everything how you want it.. some people don't liek that, but when it comes to my sound, i'm a control freak...
so maybe you should try doing stuff alone till you feel like you wanna be in another band again... cos i've been kicked out of shitty bands and been glad for it, but still upset that i'm not gonna be creating with them anymore, but it always was for the better

yeah thats how I feel. I think what ever band I'm in next will be just find. In the band I was in they played to show off how good they are, I'm not like that, I know I have to play stuff that gets into people heads and stay there. Thats how you get fans, not how good you are. But yeah, I'm just going ot miss writeing with them.

I remember how I got kicked out of the last band I went to school one day and one of my friends came up to me and said "yeah, my friend is playing guitar in Ashes to Angels, I thought you were playing guitar?" That had to be one of the funnist ways I have ever been kicked out of a band, I laughed so hard.

you need to pull a dave mustaine..

let seething anger and an out of control smack habit fuel your raging metal, then have a nervous breakdown, go into rehab and be featured on a vh-1 special.

i guess you could just move on though.
