My guitarist and I parted ways last night.

 

This was partly down to musical differences.

 

And partly down to the fact he was a tw@t.

 

;)

 

I've got adverts up all over the place in muso-land looking for a new lead guitarist and I thought it can't hurt to put one up here while I'm at it.

 

So...

 

"Lead plank playing 18-35 yr old, with enough fingers to strum it with, and own teeth, wanted for Birmingham Band with own material and album. Alt/rock/electro. Influences: Pumpkins, NIN, Pixies, Depeche Mode, QOTSA, Postal Service, VAST, New Order, Rammstein etc. Gigging regularly. Looking for commited musicians who want to make it big. South Birmingham area preffered. Sense of humour probably a good idea."

I thank yaw.

Its always the way Leigh, just as you are getting somewhere, either someone leaves or becomes a twat, we did a new demo in march and one of my girl singers who was with me for 6 years left to move to Dubai at the end of march.

Mind you i know where i would rather be lol.

 

Good luck with finding a replacement.

 

Cheers

Yeah, it's a bit on the infuriating side. Thankfully it's a clean break as he had no contribution to the album.

 

The good news is I already have two auditions lined up. Both pro session guitarists looking for a project to sink their teeth into. Both have had albums out and both have been signed (Island and Polydor) and, luckily, both love the tracks and are very up for joining. I want to be back out there gigging quickly but part of me says don't rush it and make sure it's the right guy this time. Don't think I'm going to commit till I've played with a few different people.

 

Thing is, with guys like these, it's not so much to do with how good they are, their resume speaks volumes on that score, it's how they get on with the rest of the group. That's the clincher at the end of the day.

 

Only downer is that with tw@t-boy gone we're scuppered with entering the Orange Act Unsigned contest as once you submit your band members you apparently can't change them. Meh. :rolleyes:

Thats a bummer about the orange contest, you could always do it without him, you could track up the other git parts and you havent changed your band members as such, just omitting one.

Just a thought

A pain about the contest leigh, hope it doesn't affect your chances. But if you make it big and need a sound engineer/producer/keyboard player give us a shout lol!

Will keep you in mind when we play Wembley chap! :D ;)

 

The good news is, that after reading the small print...we can still enter the Orange Act Unsigned Competition! :D :D

 

We can "replace" a member if it's necessary.

 

They've obviously had a lot of problems with drummers spontaneously combusting.

 

It happens.

if your need a trumpeteer... :)

think louis A but a little more style & a little less talent
