I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake playing with the people I'm playing with.
We ended up needing to change our band name (a decision I had thrust upon me with no choice in the matter). We bounced around ideas for a bit and everyone but me settled on the name Red Door.
I think the name is fucking stupid.
I told them to just drop the conversation for a bit and think of other names, but my drummer was insistant on it. He also shot down all the other names we came up with.
If we end up sticking with the name, I'm out. The only problem I face beyond that is finding another band to play with. There are none anywhere near me. So I'm screwed really if I leave, but I will not be a member of a band with that stupid a name.
I feel like all this is really bitchy of me to stay considering its just over a name, but I gotta speak my mind.
Ugh, I wanna cry.
I was playing with a couple guys a while back, some really cool intricate mathy stuff, and one day they decided our name was Technicolor Dream Sleep.
This was the last straw after numerous times driving 45 minutes to this guys house to practice and having to knock on the door for an hour to wake him up, having to drive him to the music store to buy picks and 9 volts, and numerous practices that ended up being 15 minutes of practice and 3 hours of smoking.
So yeah, if you're not happy, dont feel bad for leaving.
