I swear every vocalist I've worked with suffered from LSD. Lead Singer's Disease. It seems all of them get preoccupied with drama, bull**** extracurricular activities, their next romantic partner, instead of investing in vocal lessons, practicing, or improving their stage presence. Seriously...

Insurance decided it was a good idea to not cover the combination inhaler prescribed by my pulmonologist, my wife tried asking why and they said they need to talk to me. Do they REALLY WANT to deal with me? I'm not exactly in the best of moods when this **** happens, especially when I wasn't...

My singer is asking if I have spare XLR cables, even though I told three weeks ago to buy three of them, even if he only needs one. For the record, I don't have any XLR cables.

Okay, last show we were supposed to do an outdoor gig, but there's several things that were wrong. We ended up leaving as soon as we got there due to general unprofessionalism. First things first, finding the venue was a nightmare, first because exits to the town the venue was in were closed...

As I see now in the last sentence. Derp.

Is he a German Shepherd?

My face is numb from the dentist. My wife made me a smoothie, and my face muscles are trying to remember how to suck through a straw.

After calling in and complaining, the issue was fixed.

Internet provider now that they completely switched over after buying out our previous internet provider is now providing us with ****ty service. EVERYONE in my area that uses them is rightfully pissed off. Lying bastards. They'd said the service wouldn't change. Then it changed, and became...

"Oh, it's 5 minutes before closing time? I'll just be quick." Me: What, quickly moving to the exit?

Another way to view this: they simply are supporting you, and want you to succeed with your art. Granted, yes, the advice the way it's given is too generic and not really helpful, but at least their heart is in the right place. Some people don't even have a support system. What I think would...

It sucks because my two favorite teams are the LA Angels, and the Pittsburgh Pirates. My dad also gets frustrated since he's been a San Francisco Giants fan for like, his whole life.

A spoonful? I dunno.

I've worked for DirecTV before, and I know why blackouts and why areas buy exclusive rights to broadcast sports, but for those who's favorite teams aren't local, or who don't have a local team, like Idaho, you get shafted and have to dig and hunt to watch and support your favorite teams.

Annoyed that Peacock says that the next Angels game is July 30th, when in fact, it's tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, happy birthday!

Bring that cat to my place. My wife and I love animals!

Somebody told me to fabricate myself a life when he suggested that when paleontologists cast fossils, that they're fabricating missing parts. I chimed in saying that's horrendously misleading, because the word "fabricate" has the connotation that these fossils were created, not naturally...

Well, one silver lining is that you can abuse that to get into places way cheaper. Or, you can be me, 6 foot tall, bearded, long haired man with a deep baritone, I get no discounts whatsoever, so I have to pay full price, lol.

So my town had the heaviest snowfall in its history, between 10-20 inches. IN ****ING APRIL!!!

Mario is actually Japanese. His surname being Itsumi. And in Japanese, the surname comes before your first name. So it'd be Itsumi Mario. :D

I see a post of well-wishes, donations, and such for my friend and fellow bandmate that died recently, and that warms my heart. But some piece of f*cking filth decided to use his death to talk about substance abuse issues in the area, literally implying that my close friend and bandmate passed...

I hate pharmacies. Doctors are fine, but I've had to yell at a few pharmacists before, same with my wife, because apparently, it's too difficult to read what the doctor prescribed.

Back pain is what annoyed me today.

My whole side of mom's family is Mormon, and I get constantly judged by them because my dad and I are very outspoken about our feelings on Mormonism. ... Let's just say we're not too fond of it, in fact, my dad and I aren't too fond of organized religions just in general, even though my dad is...

Seems like assholes are in full swing, because one guy didn't like it when I said you shouldn't be using fingertip protectors when playing guitar, and I cited Yngwie Malmsteen as an example to follow, because he doesn't need them nor would he use them, and cautioned against using Tony Iommi to...

Exactly. Couldn't continue doing business with him. What's worse, is the band he said that to was the punk band with the lead singer dressed in drag. So I feel he's projecting a bit when he says we musicians are the homophobic ones. It's not only that, but he's extremely flaky, such that other...

A guy trying to run a music festival started talking unprofessional sh*t about us and the other bands, artists, and projects we're friends with because we pulled out of his festival for his unprofessional behavior and attitude. He told a band that we're good friends with that, "They f*cking...

Some jackass is blasting god-awful auto-tuned country music so the whole neighborhood can hear, while working on a complete pile of crap with peeling flat black paint that he thinks is cool to revv the engine with no muffler, so you have that noise combined with Florida Georgia Line, and lemme...

My back's been in pain ever since the last show I played. Maybe I should insist on help every time I haul my gear, because my lower back's been killing me.

UPDATE: So thankfully after hearing our concerns, he understands, and him and another member are already in talks with a different venue, and I didn't know this prior, but any entry fees or ticket sales, as well as merch sold is ours, so that softened things a bit. Still though, he understands...

I just found out last night that our guitarist decided to schedule a New Year's show without discussing it with everyone. Even worse, it's a venue where you have to pay to play a show, which they're asking for $100, but we get $50 back. He tried explaining it to me when I asked, "So we're...

I practice meditation already for anxiety. For anger, I'm gonna look into different ways to help with when I get angry at a situation and how to express and deal with it better. Which I never thought I had to do, because I never thought I was holding onto things.

I might actually start seriously considering getting back into martial arts again.

Update: It's been four goddamn days without heat in the dead of winter. it's 59° Fahrenheit in the house, and the furnace guy was available while we weren't at home, so I left work to become available, and now I'm on his schedule. I texted and called him for him to say, "I'll let you know when...

Me too. Thanks for your concern, Dizzi! :D I can be quite a butthead when I'm frustrated, so if I was one, I apologize. :)

I'm not sure. They did get entirely new maintenance staff when the new owner bought up the complex where I live, so somebody's trying to fix the mess, but I haven't had to call upon them yet. Let's just say that based on prior experience, I expect the worst.

Lawyers are expensive, and it's honestly not worth going that far. All I really want with the maintenance staff is someone competent. There's a reason I don't go to Jiffy Lube to get my car serviced anymore, and it's largely for the same reason.

My ongoing war with apartment maintenance being lazy sacks of sh*t rages on. Backstory on their laziness: it took 5 calls to maintenance to get someone out to "fix" our washer. First time, he said, "JuSt UsE sMaLlEr LoAdS." Despite "uSiNg SmAlLeR lOaDs" the washing machine flooded, and we spent...

Oof. That sucks, man.

I'm using Guitar Pro, and I just figure it out the old-fashioned way. :) It's more of a small annoyance than anything, and easily rectified in 5 minutes.

Yep. Except in this case, everything was right where it should be. It was really well done, which I find more annoying, because they could have taken 5 extra minutes to put in the key signature, but didn't. Maybe this is because I'm a huge neat freak with charts, sheet music, music in general...

In this case they got the notes exactly right, they just didn't indicate in the key signature that there was a Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb. Thus every time one of those notes showed up, it was shown as an accidental. I just don't like clutter, and I like things to be easy to read. That said, even...

I love when people make really accurate sheet music, yet never bother to write in the key signature correctly, leaving accidentals all over the place, looking like a gigantic mess. This forces me to do some detective work in order to clean things up. Latest example, Trivium's song "Heart From...

No problem, I'll be here. :)

I'm sorry, that can be infuriating. Anything I can do?

I need to rip a massive fart, and it won't come out. Kinda hurts.

That's annoying. Hopefully you get a spot. :)

You've also directly admitted that you don't know anything about music or playing an instrument. So you don't have any experience in this field. I, however, do, considering I've been at this for 23 years. Furthermore, this isn't a matter of "people learn things differently." The guy openly...

It was on an advice exchange group. The OP mentioned wanting all 12 major and minor scale shapes, I probed to figure out what was actually needed. Come to find out he has all this knowledge, and was refusing to apply it, the only thing he didn't know was the notes on the fretboard. So I said...
