Yeah, so I guess this is pretty much a rant, but I'm sure other people have experienced this too. Me being a girl I probably get it more often, but still, that should be no excuse.
Anyways, I like to play online with people like countless others, I guess I'm always in search of others who are of the same caliber as me, which is pretty hard. lol. Now me, I can can get through pretty much everything, I can play songs like Painkiller, and Panic Attack at 90% or more on all instruments all on expert. Singing would be 100%, it'd my first choice of intsrument. But this particular time I decided to play the guitar. And of course because I'm a girl I've heard plenty of remarks about how I won't do well because of it. Which gives me much satisfaction when I prove to those guys how much better I am then them. I've heard everything from 'pffft ohh a girl' to 'what the ****!!! are you a robot!' which makes me laugh actually. XD But other times I hear things that shock me, one time I was singing, and some guys were talking, and actually said the drummer sucked. o.o I know for a fact that they knew that it would be heard, and the funny thing is, these guys weren't the greatest themselves...
But back to the point, I came along to this one guy, who was pretty good too...BUT, he kept picking guitar leaving me to play bass all the time. And I was okay with that at first, we played all the hard songs so at least it wasn't suuuper boring. But I wanted to play guitar too, I'm always fine with taking turns or whatever o.O but he seemed to be so arrogant and I never got the chance. So after quite a few songs we came to this setlist with maybe 5 or 6 songs. I wanted to play guitar so as soon as he chose it I was quick to the trigger and stole the guitar from him.
Now I've done this before, and last time as soon as I did that, the person left, which is quite sad too. But he didn't leave which I found pretty surprising acutally. So the first song was Bodhisattva and I was doing really well, got to the solo was doing really good there too, around the middle of the solo I maybe missed one or two notes...and that's when the guy I was playing with decided to leave. Now how rude is that? I mean, why would you do that if you're playing with someone who's a good player too? Maybe it's because he didn't like the fact that I was better then him, or maybe he just didn't want to go through a whole setlist on bass, even though he was making me do just that. o.O It just really frustrates me when I don't even get the chance to prove my worth. I don't know if this has happened to others but I'm sure it would make them mad too.
In conclusion, those stuck up players you get online, don't even worry about it, they're probably just not worth playing with anyways. It's no fun to play with people who are rude like that. grrrr. :mad:
