Band Members Arrested (play it right, or DIE!)
NY Times ^ | December 14, 2008 | STEVEN McELROY

The 18-year-old lead singer of Soul Cry, an Italian gothic metal band, and her 16-year-old brother, the band’s bass player, were arrested and charged with premeditated attempted murder after they were said to have stabbed the band’s teenage guitarist for playing poorly in rehearsal, The Associated Press reported.

“The motive — absurd as that is — is apparently that the way my client played his instrument did not satisfy the two,” said Giuseppe Maria Muscolo, a lawyer for the guitar player...

I call it Guitar Zero because it takes a lot more talent to work a 22 fret guitar than something with 5 plastic colored buttons.

I know, I’ve modified my guitar myself.

Yes, but it is only a GAME and is fun for folks like myself who have no musical abilities to speak of. Hooking this thing up the kick ass stereo system that I have accumulated over the years is nothing short of awesome and FUN!

“We’re not worthy” scene from Waynes world comes to mind....

As my main stereo I have Adcom Preamp, Dobly processor and 4 monoblocks, with a seperate amp for the center channel. Bose reference 901’s as my mains and 301’s built into the walls as my rear speakers with a double 10” powered sub that I built. Then to top it off I have a LCD projector that gives me a 10’ diag picture. Sooo much fun to shake the house when I play GH - which I suck at anyway - my teenage daughters kick my butt. Their friends think it is so funny that the business teacher plays this game.

She looks a little dead; or at least green around the gills.

It seems to me that it would have been a lot less complicated to simply have fired the guy. I have had to terminate employees because their work performance was not where it should be, but I never thought about stabbing them. LOL! That seems like ‘overkill’ to me. ;o)

The practice session ended on a bad note.

The rule has always been to practice on your own time so that when it is time for the band to rehearse, each member knows their parts. This guitarist did not practice on his own and wasted valuable band rehearsal time and was punished for his unprofessional behavior by being stabbed in the head repeatedly. Maybe next time he'll learn his parts and arrive at rehearsal prepared!
