Here we go folks. This post is about a local musician who is without a doubt a classic piece of work. Most of you know him as a singing drummer in local bands. I won't name him because that would be giving him more press than this prick should ever deserve. Let's just say I've now actually met, the lowest of the low.
So what's up you ask? Here's the scoop.
This past Sunday Nov. 29/2015, I and a host of many other musicians took part in the 4th annual Toystock concert for kids to help collect toys for needy children. Amazing cause to support don't you think? 10 bands and solo musicians donated their time and talents for free and played a show that lasted 12 hours easy. The band I play in called Mourning Wood supplied the entire PA for the show, also for free.
Most of the gear, drums, bass rig, that sort of thing were supplied and universal to all bands participating. These kinds of situations are never easy but in this case, things went without a hitch, or so we thought. Turns out that this prick got on stage to play his set with his band, he brought his on effects unit with him, a device he would operate on his own. The problem with that is, he didn't know how to use it (that was clearly obvious) so when it was used during a Michael Jackson cover song, it was a bit of a mess. The thing is, it wasn't that big of a mess because no one really noticed it except a few of us musicians. For whatever reason, the little effects unit wasn't properly setup and the vocal delay part of this unit had the wrong setting. Personally I just think the drummer had no clue how to use the damn thing. So as the song goes on, rather than shut the f**king thing off, the idiot continues to look down at this thing, reach for it, f**k around with it some more, completely blowing all the lyrics of the song and his drumming. I repeat, had he shut it off, rather than f**k with it, the song would have been fine. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So, the band gets past that issue and then this prick finally realizes that he should just shut it off. Yes folks, a Sherlock Holmes moment!!!! Once that machine was off, the band played well and the sound for them was good, just like the other bands that performed. Video from the event shows this to be true and even video of the f**ked up song was good except the singer kept stopping his singing while he f**ked with this unit. Video of the entire event shows clearly that all bands got the same sound. This is where things get crazy and this complete idiots ego and warped mind short circuit.
After the band's set, the drummer was pissed off and complaining to every Tom Dick and Harry around the stage about how the sound guy (my guitarist) screwed them on sound for this show. With stupidity and brain cells squirting out of the pores of his thick skull, this clown comes up with the great revenge trick for getting back at the sound guy for this imaginary sound corruption. He blames everyone but himself for the goof up with the machine and makes sure everyone know that it was the soundman's fault and it was sabotage. Then the drama queen heads outside and key scratches the sound man's van and then tries to wreck the tires.
Is this not the purist definition of a big f**kin' prick? You betcha. The problem for him is, the knob was witnessed by others and it got back to us. He was promptly fired from his band and now his name is about as useless as a shit stain in an unwashed pair of underwear.
This is not this person's first rodeo at screwing over other musicians. This guy has been known to skim money from bands he's in.
What is skimming? That is when you go get a booking and work out a money deal with a bar for example, say you work out a price of 700 bucks with the bar owner for a weekend gig but you go back to your band and say.. Hey Guys.. I got us a gig for 600 bucks at the bar. The slime puke pockets that unknown 100 bucks and then takes an even cut of the bands money. They think the gig is 600 but really it's 700. He scams an extra hundred. Now that is being a realy BIG scumbag.
So, now this guy's name is shit for doing the unthinkable at a children's benefit. Ok... think about this really hard. This guy at a children's charity concert goes outside and keys a van and tries to wreck the tires. How the f**k do you live with yourself? What pisses me off the most is that my guitarist had his family there, small young kids who were going to be in the van that this idiot was messing with.
Let's pray this is the last time we hear of this piece of work. Many have asked what his name is but I will simply say that his initials are B.R. a singing drummer. You take it from there.
This is a man with no conscience. He is thinking only of himself and he has no concern of who he hurts with collateral damage, in this case, the kids. I knew this before but this event just confirms it.
Yes folks.... this guy is THE scumbag of the music community at this very moment. Enjoy it because it's going to last a lifetime.
