Since there are plenty of musicians amung us, please share! I love to dwell on the negative memories, they're the one's that make me laugh the most!

Practices took place in my basement (now designated Tiki Bar room) and were less than fruitful on most occasions. The drummer would waste all of my wife's diet pop by drinking only half a can and then snuffing his cigarettes in it. He often went through 6 cans this way! The singer did the same thing, only with beer (and not just his own beer).

The bass player once showed up riding a BMX, already drunk, and yelling about my neighbors. In the middle of practice he intensionally slammed his bottle of Jim Beam against the floor and proceeded to destroy one of my favorite lamps. After that he just kind of laid down.

From the whole experience I've concluded that friends/bandmates are like pets that smoke!
