This happened last nite and it has been bothering
so here is a let out
bear wth the details / its gona be long
abt a month ago i put a ad in soft looking for a bassist and drummer specifically for a big gig which was coming up cos some of the members in my band was tied up and could't make the gig
was also stated in the ad thet we play ROOTS REGGAE
and i also mentioned that if you paly anthing else we can try to work it out
so this guy ( lets call him X) called up and said he was intersted and he coud mimic reggae voice. so i told him that we will be jammin sometime the following week and i will get him the details on the songs we play
and X was ok but you guys should really hear me out live PLS PLS
(literally saying PLS PLS ),so i said hold your horses and i'll get back to you
the next day at abt 1am in the morning he sms me again saying "you guys should really hear me out Pls i always wanted to sing in a reggae band)
i just brushed it off thinking maybe this guy just wants this real bad
time went by and it was time to try the guy out so i gave him the songs and where we were jaming (fourtones)he said he can't make it on that day but i said that we are all working adults and we can only jam on that day so he said i'll make it BUT
he said he didn't noe where the place was and i told him that it was some where in the boat quay area
so he said fine i'll be there
soon after that he sms me saying "hey There is a jam N hop happening at my sch do you guys wanna join and can i be the singer"
Ok thats when the weirdo alert started and i was thinking to my self WTF you haven even tried out for the band yet and suddely you want us to join something and you will be the SINGER?
to put it in a nice way i told him that its a decision that the band had to make not just me
Jamming day came X smsed me saying hey i'll be late can i see you an hour later from te time you guys start
i was fine with that and told him to get to the studio and call me
BUT X could not even find the studio and he kept callin me while i was jammin i tried to pick some of his 27 missed calls and gave him directions, even my present vocal gave him directions and he STILL not find the place while soem ladies from esplanade who did not noe the place came over with just the address given to them
so to cut the story short we meet him after jamming
so we were asking wats you influences like and he kept saying anything
,whats do you wanna sing for us ,ANYTHING ,do you listen to ROOTS reggae,NO i listen to Reggaeton which was totally out of our genre
and it was clearly stated ROOTS REGGAE not Reggeton
anyway he sang and his voice was not wat we were looking for
we told him abt our band.... ok so here comings teh pissing off part
my band consist of muslims and we do some jews reggae that kinda praises te jews god
not an issue to us as we are open minded and we do it for the love of music and not let religion get in between music
so we told him we will get back to him after we dicussed and we decided that he wn't suit our style
X smsed me last nit to see if he is in
i tried to be nice and said Dude you not realy wat we are looking for
and X replyed Y? is it my attidute/Voice
i said it your voice it won't suit
so he started saying things like you really have to hear me out i'll bring my guitar next time i realy can do this pls give me a another try PLs
hearing this i need to let him hear the truth
X was unprepared,he was not sure wat he wanted to sing ,he did not noe the genre that he was getting himself in too,he was late for jamming,he coud not even find the place ..... Xreplyed but you guys got it all wrong
all i could say was the it was the band that decided and i have no rite to tell otherwise
and he got back awhile later saying the we were old and we should understand that he was new to the jamming thing so he coud'nt find the plac and that he jsut passed his bike licence and riding there was a problem and that he was calling me in btween MY JAMMIN SESSION
but this was wat really pissed me off
The exact words he smsed
Tell the muslim guys in your band to praise more to our own god than the jews....its wrong... i noe its just a song but every praise can make you losse your faith n directions to religion..... The worlds to end....
Piece of S#!T.... wat rite does he have to say wat my band sings
the muslims in my band are very religious and are married responsible ppl
we just don't let religionbe a barrier with our music
Music is universal...
i tried calling the A##hole up but he woldn't pick up so i left him a piece of my mind via sms
Y can't ppl just take No for an ans
i'm sure there will be other bands thats more suited for him
and if you are so close minded with wat other bands do then keep to your circle..... don't bring it to mine as our sins is for us rto bear and not any1 elses.... if you are are willing to pay the price ( if it is even a sin) then go ahead and talk
if not Zip that Second A##hole of your UP
so sorry for the long storry .... had to let it out before i start my day

i would've ignored him right from the Jam n Hop part.
