Man Pucho, I could share my last breakup scenario with you and it would make you laugh. We broke up on Facebook!
None of us were very invested in the project. It was party punk/rock/metal. Like Suicidal Tendencies meets Kill 'Em All. It was started with the intention of just having fun. But like most bands, some began to take it seriously. Not surprisingly, the singer wasn't one of those taking it seriously. When we hadn't played in a few months, the other guys and I decided we should have fun with it. We asked the singer if he wanted to do it, he said he wasn't interested in doing it anymore. So the 4 of us decided to split of the band account and call it a day. He didn't get any money because he "borrowed" $200 from the band. He actually owes all of us $10. Mind you, this is all going down on Facebook and it's a lighthearted affair. Then the singer chimes in with his panties in a bunch about the breakup. Complaining that he didn't have any say in the band breaking up. Acting like we just stabbed his mom or something. Then he goes on to say he's taking the name and getting a new band together. The guy who didn't have lyrics to our songs 18 months in, when we started tracking, is somehow going to orchestrate a cover band of his band. Oi.
This was back in January. Then just one week ago he writes a Facebook message to us to air his grievances. Says all the same stuff he said 4 months ago as if it was just yesterday. But adds that he wants the leftover merch because he didn't get any of the band money. Then starts whining about all the work he put in, because we practiced at his house, he designed a t-shirt and took live footage of us and superimposed it onto a graphic of an old-school TV set and called it a music video. 5 bands practiced at his house, as all his other roommates were in bands too. The t-shirt design and "video" concept were never run by the rest of us. Had they been, we'd have told his no talent ass not to bother.
The thing that's so tragic (sarcasm) is that there never was an us-against-him mentality until AFTER the band broke up. It's like a child that gets bored with a toy, but suddenly resumes interest when another child tries to take it away. He's like a stoned man-child. It's amazing how some stoners have such skewed views of fact and reality. It's like they've smoked their memory away so they make up their own versions of certain events to replace anything resembling an accurate recollection.
