This board seems a little neglected today, so let's talk bollocks!  I think I may have come across the best voicemail recording ever: "Hi. I'm either not available, or I don't want to talk to you. Leave a message." Anyone able to top that? ;D Afternoon all, btw! |

I saw an ad wanting a drummer some years ago and rang it. Message said
"Hi this is Simon.I can't get to the phone right now as i am probably still in bed. So if you could leave a message after the tone or alternatevly you can just fuck off"
Turned out to be someone my sister used to work with. They were a shit band and i didn't join.

"Hi. I'm either not available, or I don't want to talk to you. Leave a message." I'm still fond of the one a mate had at his student house: "This is the house of Pete, Nick and Chris. Please leave a message after the extreme digital noise terror *grinding riff* AAAAAAAGH! *beep*" ;D On that note, I'm peckish. Back in ten, with food! |

Bugger, I thought this was going to be a thread about the Mammas and Pappas.

Sent me a CD of their material and although the guitars and bass sounder alright,the singer was fucking wank and the music reflected this. |

Ah - yeah, doesn't matter about the rest of the band if the singer's not up to scratch. Just look at how Sabbath suffered when they booted Ozzy out! |

I said i was influenced by the drumming of Danney Carey,Neil Peart,Bill Bruford,Chas Smith etc and liked everything from Punk to Slayer and Tool. He said that was good as they were a Tool type band. Well the singer was a tool alright and they were fuck all like. |

But then most lead singers don't have a clue about the music anyway |
