    I agree.

    My band is only 3 people, my guitar player does double duty singing and playing. He's also thinking about getting a loop pedal so he can play lead and rythmn.

    Are there any "Little shop of horrors" songs that you think might work well in front of a bar or restaurant type audience?

    I hate to say this but I think your drunken guitarist belongs in a Punk band where they get high, yell, curse, throw things at the fans and this is acceptable but not in your band Bridie. Get rid of him.

    If any musician needs to get drunk , high or buzzed in anyway to perform then that is a musician i would not waste my time working with. Sooner or later it will bite you in the bum.

    Birdie a lot of us have been on this forum for years, we have seen your progress behind the kit and I think you are becoming a fine drummer. I'd hate to see you waste valuable time working with musicians that do not take their craft as seriously as you do.

    Glad to hear your band is moving forward and you are excited about the future. And of course you now have some experience about the bad side of bands and how to handle problems if they come up again. It is all part of the journey!

    Someone who acts like that is a clown, if you let them get away with it you end up being their ringmaster.

    You're well shut of him Bride. Having pre-gig nerves and drinking too much is hardly ideal - but getting totally plastered, getting you banned from the gig and punching walls is really disturbing.

    You never know what people who are prone to alcohol fuelled temper tantrums are likely to do - I wouldn't want this guy anywhere near me or my equipment. One thing is for sure, you and the rest of the band don't need this guy - you did the right thing by firing him.

    Good luck with the three piece
