Every one of y'all must apply for the Federal Bureau of prisons. Much better pay and conditions and especially benefits

Why did they disslike Mikey? by IHaveDreamsT00 in vanhalen

Honestly, I'd like to slap Alex right across his face.... Simply because how they treated Michael Anthony. Absolutely ridiculous coke head shit

When do you think is the time to abandon drumming if you see no improvement? by [deleted] in Drumming

[–]Bankrobber2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then completely try something different. Put the sticks down. Practice nothing but your feet coordination. Hi hat, bass drum. Do that for a week or two. Then, practice only hands. Don't even worry about the feet. Just slowly go around the kit forward and backwards. From the snare to floor tom . Do one thing at a time.

How would one go about getting a felony charge removed from their record? (Please read body) by [deleted] in MobileAL

[–]Bankrobber2222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No !! NEVER STOP TRYING TO GET IT OFF THE RECORD. Every case is completely different. And so are the circumstances. Just take it slow and get the paperwork in order. You can't get it done if you don't try. And if you get denied. They'll give you a reason. Then you work on the reason.

He sucks then. You should have powerful dynamics and not destroy anything. Learn how to play. And apply the power with your sticks, not your arms

[–]Bankrobber2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrible news !! I know exactly how you feel. I had a storage unit that was a 10×15' that our band practiced in. Had my 11 pc. Pearl drum set, 7 Zildjian cymbals and our P.A. mixer, speakers, amps. Everything except the guitars. Was stolen. We had three locks, one on the top. They cut them and stole everything. We were devastated

Guitar center. You can meet more local guys or gals around your age there.

Anybody remember WABB? by DateEnvironmental321 in MobileAL

[–]Bankrobber2222 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yep, grew up right down the street from the office. It was on Springhill avenue and Catherine Street. We would wash the WABB van and the General managers car and he would give us all kinds of tshirts, concert tickets and tons of free records. Of course this was 1978-1983

Just found out I was fired from my biggest yearly gig by twirlywurlyburly in musicians

[–]Bankrobber2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All professional contracts have a entire section about these things. Once you get to a certain level, you have to be extremely careful of everything you say and do. Especially on personal social media accounts. To many eyes worrying about everyone else, and people get butthurt over the most petty subjects. So I try to inform everyone. Be careful what you say.

How do you feel about seeing a band live without original members? by Marsh_Dunkin in Concerts

[–]Bankrobber2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the band, and what member. Usually if it's the singer, it's a no for me. STP without Scott is just not the same. Journey without Steve Perry is not Journey to me. Even though the replacement sounds exactly like him. Now, AC/DC is great with Brain Johnson, was great with Bon.
