Need Some Advice

Okay, so, I've been playing drums for about half a year, and I want to start a band! :toot:

I have this friend (he's more of an acquaintance :P) that plays guitar, and he also wants to start a band. Problem is, he's kind of a jack ass and he picks on kids and shit (I'm not that way, I'm a nice kid/bully stander-upper :P). He's quite good, but thinks he's a know it all with music.

He asked me the other night to go to an "Open Mic Night" with him and play a couple songs in a few days. I hadn't even played any of the songs he told me we were going to play. I told him "Nah, got lots of homework and It's a School Night".

I kinda wanted to be in a band with him, but now I REALLY don't. What should I tell him? Or should I just suck it up and be with him?

I know another kid that plays guitar that's nice and would want to play with me, so finding another person isn't really a prob. Unfortunately, I don't know any bass players (besides my best friend, but he's already in a band :glare:), but I guess I'm on my own with this one :P.

I told him in the past "I don't think I'm ready, maybe after the New Year" and he FREAKED! He was like "What the hell is that suppose to mean?! :angry: . That's a dumb reason!".

I don't know what to do :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Throw a drum stick in his eye.

Nah seriously just tell him you'd rather not play with him any more, tell him it's not working out and then sneak off with your new guitarist.

Tempting, but he'd probably do something worse to me :P

Yeah, I guess that's the only option. Or I could tell him the truth, that I would rather play with the other guitarist :lol:

Reading your first post tells me you already know what to do, and that you don't need advice on this one.

    RG Cube is going to be good for ps2 if it's $100

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
