EVOL! Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Monday, I was supposed to audition for a lead guitar position. Got an email from the band's drummer - the audition is canceled. They found their noise maker. At least they are going to jam out with this guy out for the next two to make sure it is a proper fit. They asked if they can contact me in the event this cat doesn't work out. I said sure. Mainly disappointed because I dug their sound and thought we could make some killer music together. Sorry, needed to vent. Thanks for letting me rip this blues jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Don't let it get you down. What you need is more auditions. More is always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Screw 'em. That's lame that they didn't even give you a chance to play. -Not very professional. I bet the cat they hired is the brother of one of their girlfriends or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canon_mutant Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Well, it's not like you auditioned, they quickly halted the audition, and they're still laughing about it. Hey, if they're not going to even give you a shot at rejection chances are you're a better fit elsewhere. Keep on shoppin' . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks everyone. I am pretty much over it now. My tendency is to get way down and then 12hrs later let it go. What made this one sting like it did was that I thought it was such a good fit in both style and schedule. Most of the guitarist wanted posts I see around just aren't my thing: cover bands, genres I don't dig on, or cats that want to get in the van now and tour in two week chunks. I have a project going now, it's just that it isn't going anywhere so I wanted to see what else is out there. After two years, one destroyed friendship, and a ton of auditions it is back to a two piece. Makes me think everyone in their mid thirties has hung it up.

I reccomend staging an electrical fire as its difficult to prove. :-$/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 The world works in strange ways. Got an email from the band. Their new lead player didn't work out and they offered to have me out. I am meeting up with them this week. Hope it is a good fit. They seem like pretty cool cats. Been itching to get back into a project where I can not only stretch out, but where we all support each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 That's good. See how things work out when you least expect it. Hopefully you're a good fit and you'll be working with a band that's dedicated with a shared vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good example of why you don't get mad and start slinging Crap when you get aced out of an Audition or a spot in a Band. Love to hear a clip or see a vid from the band your joining.

This is a good example of why you don't get mad and start slinging Crap when you get aced out of an Audition or a spot in a Band. True. Burning bridges is not my style. That always comes back to bite you right in the a$$. I also believe heavily in karma. Love to hear a clip or see a vid from the band your joining. I don't want to jinx it so I'll post this weekend, after we meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
