Description

That quite infantile, trolling response sure sounds like a guy I used to see from Cumberland who played in a really-not-good local cover outfit called Lighthouse. Everything about that post is exactly the way I have seen him talk to people. If you ever met him you'll know who I mean by. He's always the first band member to show up, acts nice, and sets up like any other would. When he's done he'll order dinner and a glass of red wine. When he orders the 2nd glass of red wine, you'll just know the night is gonna be rough. By the end of the first set he's completely blackout drunk and telling everyone how great the band is, how good they sound, and sliding in remarks about how 'It's a shame there weren't more people here, if I had known this place didn't do proper advertising for an event such as this, I would of". Halfway through the 2nd set you'll visibly see his band members cringing while giving each other WTF looks as he butchers his way though every song playing wrong chords and drawn-out guitar solos not even in the original songs. He's got an enormous freaking triple tier keyboard rig like Geddy Lee, but only plays one finger lines on the bottom keyboard while never taking his guitar off feeding back through the PA. His side of the stage literally looks like he's aqueezed into 5ftx5ft walls of gear like ELP playing "Proud Mary" by Creedence wrong. Ooof I hope they've taken his mic away by now!!! By the end of the night every bartender staff the owner and patron hates him. He's the last guy breaking down his gear, and when everyone is gone the bartender is still stuck listening to him go on about how they"were better than Zeppelin", "Did you hear that guitar solo?", and "Yep, that's how it's done". When the bartender finally texts the owner he's gone she'll plead "please don't book them ever again, and if you do PLEASE do not put me on" The owner will respond "don't worry that won't be happening again YIKES!!" and apologize for having put her and everyone through that.
