so what do you do with jam spot room mates that always fuck with your stuff. like using our cabnets with out asking, taking our cables and not asking or even putting back. moving our gear around to provide them selves more space yet they already 50% of the space. unplugging our gear to use the plugs on our side of the room even though they have plenty of plugs on there side.

now they are moving out at the end of the month so there not much to say, and i have mentioned a couple things to them and they just played dumb.

since they moved in they have shown nothing but disrespect.
what would you do with inmature people like this? - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 12:44pm

hmmmm, that is easy, beat the shit out of them, dont be a pussy and let them get away with it, If someone fucked with my shit, I would cut their fingers off, then they wouldnt be able to play guitar no more. Problem solved - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 2:07pm

Well, that would explain some problems we had in our spot a while back.
The other band I'm playing in right now is looking for a spot, but jams sporadically. I tried to email you, but the message was returned undeliverable.
Anyway, they are looking to spend a little less than the rates you advertised, but have very little gear {one guitar half stack, a P.A. and a four piece drum kit}. I move my gear in just for jams and take it when I leave. Email me and let me know what you think?

they probably don't think its a big deal. I grew up with brothers so I have a very "whats mine is yours" attitude that sometimes I need to check :-) Just explain that your shit is where its at for a reason...

Plugs for electricty? Not a big deal. Using your cables is, b/c they wear out and cost $. Maybe they're new so just break it down for them. They're leaving anyway so it a moot point not ain't it...

ya some off the stuff is petty, but it makes you wonder what else they have done that you didn't notice, like how load were they cranking through the guitar cabnet did they have the ohms set right on there amp etc. using someones $900+ vintage cabnet with out asking isn't cool. - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 4:47pm

Always a shitty problem....hmm I was thinking of checking out your jam spot, you might not of brought this up. Basically you have to rent to people you know and trust...years ago I walked into my meatlocker to see a guy using my boogie Mk4 not a big deal except it was a friends from London, meaning european power meaning I had to replace the output transformer....the same band stole my china type and some nice pearl hardware! I ended up seeing the guy in a bar years later and relieving him of the contents of his wallet. I was not violent with him but I let him know he fucked me and should pay or be punched once in the face in front of his girl. - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 4:55pm

Hey laprider would love to have you, i know you but you probably don't know me. i bought a few things from you when you had your store on johnson.
with the present mates there wasn't much of our say, our former mates wanted to leave and provided us with a replacement, at the time it seemed to easy to say yes with out checking them out.
we did have another place to go and were going to leave last month but after i talked to the dude who had the other spot he admitted he'ed been smoking to much crack latley, learn my lessons about people like that already. he may be a cool guy today but he might hawk your amp tomorow and lie about. - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 5:09pm

Crazy glue each and every dial on all their amps,Glue the 1/4 cables to the guitars,amps,effects etc.When they come in,shut the lights out and jack all the pot they have on them,give em kick to the nuts of fury,duct tape the hands behind their backs,and pull the shirts over their heads like Tie Domi.Turn on the lights.Now that you glued the dials all to "10",plug in the amps and then bash their guitars off walls,etc till you get some killer feedback then leave the guitar pick ups facing the amps.and then go get a jug of beer. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 12:48pm

so u have a problem with someone touching your gear... well u know im not responsible for ne of this shit goin on...
infact i recall having all my shit fucked w/ last year in ml7s spot (which is only like $12,500+ worth of gear)
point being... maybe direct the issues to the actual person fucking w/ your stuff.

i only use my gear. noone elses. EVER. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 1:59pm

didn't say it was you , in fact i don't know who it was really. just some funny shit going on, might be ghosts?

when i should up last Saturday and noticed that someone had used my 35year old Marshall cabinet i was pissed. The little shit that happened before that wasn't ever worth bring up until this happened. I know Mark allowed Nate to use his cabinet 'once', but when mark found out nate wasn't in the band anymore and someone else was helping them selves to his cabinet he wasn't very happy. i'm sure no damage was done, but that fact that some is using your stuff with out asking isn't very nice. If you guys weren't leaving i would have showed up the next time you practiced to freak out, but come Monday i had calmed down.
so i started this thread as a way of venting, just hear what others had to say. i tried to keep it anonymous and not blame anyone publicly.

On a positive side I’ve had many interested people contact me to rent the space partly due to this thread. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 2:30pm

Fair enuff...

I just feel that there is some finger pointing goin on and
in reading some of these replys kinda gets the blood boiling... especially since i know who is being targeted in this thread...

AND the fact that the title is "jam spot room mates that need a smack"... makes for big words.

im just making it very fucking clear that i dont touch nething that's not mine. I will on the other hand pass this around to the ppl(person) in question who r responsible for this infringement... and let them know that your gear is not to be used for any reason.

i think were all @ an understanding.

newayz... alpha street is available as well for a coupla bands if neones interested. - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 6:18pm

thanks DMD
Like i said it was meant to be an anonymous thread to vent a little steam. No finger pointing.
Sorry if 'need a smack' was taking in a violent way wasn't meant that way.
I know you would shit if anyone used your drums, so you must understand how i feel.
See you around, no hard feeling eh. - Thu, 10 Mar 2005 12:20pm
