one thing about the music buisness these days:
if you're in a band, you CANNOT show up for a gig wasted, act like a fucking idiot, not sing or play well, and expect there to be no consequences.
label honchos don't have time for this.
hard working fans who pay tons of money to see you don't have time for this.
concert promoters don't have time for this.
and:
music journalists and entertainment reporters LOVE to report on this stuff, because people will buy it; therefore, this story will be everywhere.
funny thing that music buisness: if you make it and are responsible, you can have a great life (i.e.: U2).
if you make it and fuck up, the sharks will eat your eyeballs as your ass is sliding down the ladder faster than a gunshot (i.e.: g n' r, stp, mariah....et. al.)
