Is this what people are about?

See, I don't even want to do that. It just bothers me that when I try to make things happen with my life, it not only doesn't work out, it backfires. One thing I have learned...other than my family and a few select "acquaintences"...I wouldn't call the acquiantences "friends" because if they passed away, while I wouldn't be happy, it wouldn't affect my life...I'm better off keeping as few people in my life as possible.

I still plan on forming a really good band, even if it takes months or years, and I still plan on finding an ideal girlfriend, and I'm not letting anyone get in the way of that.

I hear ya. I didn't think that my "suggestion" was exactly what you were going for anyway, I just tend to get pissed when I see other people getting walked all over, and I can't help but put forth my two cents because I personally would not allow someone to speak to me like that without some kind of response/retribution.

Bands are more trouble than they're worth imo. I love jamming with people, but I've never had more than the vaguest inclination to take it anywhere beyond that. I have mad respect for anyone who can hold it together with something like that.

You'd have to have met the guy. There really is a screw loose. He's not a typical punk. He's 50something, missing teeth...looks like that farmer, white trash guy from the Simpsons...and he doesn't have a real job. You hit the nail on the head...this is his "big score" and he feels threatened by me because I can get in the way of him having a demo. What I might do, instead of dealing with him directly, is just tell my friend or his father about the voice message, ensuring that they would want nothing to do with him, and therefore screwing him over, but even that I'm unsure of.

People who are cut throat end up getting their own throats cut. Let him crash himself into the ground. He is fifty years of age and if he has not made it then he will not. Perhaps it is that very domineering attitude that has put him in that situation.

I tend to stay out of reach of any blades.

Oh man that's rough hahaha he's like the "Spike" of craigslist drummers

Musicians tend to be a bit temperamental anyway ;p

Since he has made one threatening call I would suggest keeping your eyes peeled. Save the message and if anything else happens then call the authorities. It is better to be safe than sorry with this sort of thing.

Whole lot of that going round. I worked with a woman - Oy. Ruthless. Hired to do a specific job; once on the payroll, she says "I won't and you can't make me." Got away with it. My best friend knew her from her student days - as a student, she was Miss Meek, whatever you say, sir.

This is why these days - it disgusts me - the law and political parties say, don't put up a candidate or take a case because it is good. Only go with something if you are sure you can win.

Haha, good one lol.

In my experience, drummers can be quite - er - unusual people. I've worked with several, and all but one were quite odd.......though the other one was a regular pillar of society, proving that there are notable exceptions.


I wouldn't hold that against anybody though.
