Chucking out a band member

[David Van Via]

Right we have a band and we want to chuck out the drummer because he isn't good and he is a wanker, when it comes to music (his fav band is RATM and he doesn't like Van Halen). So I was just wondering if anybody has any SUBTLE but firm ways to chuck him out because we like him as a friend.

CHEERS!

Loss of Control I think you need to feel this one out. You've had to fire band members before right.

[David Van Via]

No We haven't because the rest of us get along great so everything has been fantastic.

just have the band break up - then reuinite a week later with a new drummer.

reunited and it feeelz so good

[David Van Via]

That's a bloody great idea.

CHEERS!

However if there's any more ideas please post them and we will use the best one.

If I were you, I'd talk to the guy face to face over a beer.

Point out the problems, and come to the conclusion that he's not the right drummer for the band.

do it at the next BIG gig you play...it'll be hilarious! truuust me....

Audition someone behind his back....tell as many people as you can without him finding out...then on the night of the gig...give his pictures to the security...tell them how he 'flipped out' and so you had to '86 him...."he made some death threats"..or "bomb threats"....so they won't let him in the door....and he will show up COMPLETELY unaware! Also, make sure to switch out your posters before he gets there, with pics with the NEW bassist in them...."In OUR band?...oh, no officer...that guy is some wacko from the alley..." watch the fun and hilarity ensue as you take the stage...and rock the house...he is being beat up in the back alley by security....
HOW's that work for ya? Try it, and video tape the results.......there's GOLD in that there idea, son....

Just tell him, "It's not you, it's us. We just can't keep with you, were holding you back." Make sure to duck.

When my friends band got a new drummer, they didnt tell the old one and when he turned up to a soundcheck the day before a gig, they were already playing, and he just stood at the back watching, before probably going home to cry.

That would definitely help, plus it would be funny as hell!

Do what we did, have a sit down and put the cards on the table then say ...Oh Yeah we forgot to tell you your fired.

Tell him you are going to become an 80's synth band and will be running on sequencers from now on.

[BigBadBrian]

You're all adults so have everybody there and tell his ass he's a wanker and to hit the road. Be up front about it. If you're all there and he wants to fight, you can all thump his ass.

[Rubnose]

Tell him you have feelings for him that you can't hide anymore. Rub his back and put your hand on his knee.

That should do it. Unless you are Ford. Then get ready for a Cival Union.
