live is just great isnt it?
Well we had a cactus jam last wednesday that ended very badly
we had alot of trouble getting through our first 2 songs and none of the recordings sounded good. We tried working on new stuff but our other guitarist kept bitching about us not using his riffs, and how when ever he does write one i like i change it.
i explained to him that all his riffs are either missing beats or have too many and our drummer wont be able to play along cause he plays them at random, and quite frankly alot of his riffs just sound like noise. He got all mad and started saying that all his freinds think they're good and what ever, and we explained it to him more so etc etc. We later tried "jamming" by jamming i mean one person starts something simple (intro, verse, chorus) and the other person just jams along, you know plays afew solos or what ever. We had alot of problems with that cause he wouldnt follow the drums, he was goin into the next riff 1 bar too early on 1 too late etc. and when we switched it around he just couldnt solo along to me, he was way off key. i was playing in E and he was in like B or something so it sounded like ass. At that point we pretty much realized that it wouldnt work with this guy (well we kinda new when he said he strickly wants to play black metal)
eventually he packed up his shit and left, me and john stayed behind and jammed afew more songs
before we left we found 2 roaches on the floor and broke them up and smoked them in his pipe, i felt like a crack head, but what ever its cactus.
we're already talking to a new guy about possibly jamming or starting a band, but nothing is for sure
i have afew pics from that night i think and i have files of some of daves riffs incase you guys think im lying about his shitty playing
