Today, at a concert, I noticed a cute keytarist in one of the bands. After they got off stage, I asked their bass player if she was single. He replied, "actually, she's married," holding up his left hand, he continued, "to me." FML
I agree, your life sucks (15174) - you totally deserved it (28666)

(+1)Ouch, That one had to sting. I'd have told him "Oh... really? I wish i would have known that last night at the bar... It would have saved me some beer and a condom. "
(0)This is why we need a "who cares" section to mark. Because, big deal. You asked, she was married, you don't go for her. Not really a fyl.
(0)haha, you should have been like well, I guess you're single now because I have your son in my tummy

(0)i don't see why people voted "YDI". what, like the OP should have carefully examined the keyboardist's(keytarist??) fingers and also the husband's before he asked if she was single?
it's just a little embarrassing. not much of an FML.
#3 uh...the OP is a man...? unless i misread.
#4 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:14am by unibrowicorn
(0)What does it matter? Isn't it better that you asked first instead of making a fool of yourself trying to hit on her? We really really need a "who the hell cares" category.
#8 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:16am by pleasetryagain
(0)So you high-five him and walk away. It's not like you had sex with her.
#9 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:18am by libertyprime
(0)Aawwww, that sucks, but it's the breaks of being single I s'pose. Sorry that happened to you though.
#11 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:18am by brianrubin
(0)this isnt really an fyl. i mean, it kinda sucks, maybe a little embarrasing, but all you gotta say is "ohh nevermind" or "well you got a hot one" and walk away. no big deal
#12 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:19am by iloveericmaynor
(0)At least you didn't go directly up to her and asked her out. Not that either is really applicable, but FYL seems more appropriate
(0)i wouldnt really think this is a FML its nto like he beat your ass or something with his bass guitar he jsut told you the truth
#17 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:21am by MyzticHydra
(0)How is this an FML? If anything, you paid the guy a compliment, since you inadvertently said he has a cute wife. #12 has the right idea.
And #15, you're insane. Keytars are freakin' awesome. Plus, he never said he wanted to MARRY the chick, can you read?
(+1)Hahah....That sounds embarrassing. But if I were the bassist, I would be glad for my cute wife :P
(0)How freaking sad are you that the best you can do is try hit on some band member from a concert you just saw?
Go out to a bar or something. At least that way if she is married and still flirting with you then you know you might actually get some.
(0)what the fuck is a keytarist? is this like some new age crimp shit.

(0)#23
Even Worse:
"Ohhh, YOU are the guy she was telling me I've got a bigger cock than last night... Tough luck bud!"
(0)In other words: "Today I found out that I'm not the only person in the world who likes girls. FML"
I'm gonna give you a YDI because I really don't care.
#30 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:52am by MakinBacon
(0)Not an FML and not funny. Who cares? It's not like he punched you after you asked or anything.
#34 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:58am by Callyn
(0)@ 27, never underestimate the power of the crimp. Especially not a four way crimp...
I don't really view it as an FML either, but hey, whatever floats their boat.
#35 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:04am by AndelleRae
(0)wow. an attractive girl is taken. because they're all supposed to be single, just waiting for us to pick up.
#36 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:15am by Rodjmeister
(0)you found a keytarist attractive? that's funny. this is def not a fyl though
#37 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:17am by f_this_noise
(0)if this qualifies an 'fml' for you, id say your life must be pretty damned perfect
#38 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:19am by bienfait_nn
(+1)#4. I think a lot of people are clicking YDI not specifically because he deserves what happened, but because this isn't even close to an fml. He was a little embarrassed, but nothing to cry about.
Two thumbs down.
#39 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:20am by spektorish
(0)It's not like the bassist punched you out or anything....
#41 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:30am by watchnlearn
(0)I wanna say the keytarist is Vicky-T from Cobra Starship, but I don't think she's married to their bassist.
And seriously... Dude, no one cares.
(0)i think its funny that enough of the moderators actually voted this as an fml to get it posted.
#44 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:41am by friedkabob1225
(0)That's when you say "So is she free this weekend then?"
#45 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:45am by had_a_bad_day
Unless he then clenched his fist and punched OP in the face, this isn't an FML. The dude asked and the dude got a seemingly polite and informative answer. It's not an FML simply because it wasn't what he was looking for.
#46 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:51am by officerpat
(0)Awww, musicians in love. I wouldn't really call this an FML, though, because she's obviously not the last girl in the world, and the bassist was pretty nice about you asking.
#47 - On 04/22/2009 at 11:54am by kurukururock
(0)#48 A keytarist is someone who plays keytar. A keytar is a small piano that usually can be hooked up to an amplifier to play MIDI sounds, and it's held like a guitar. Here's a pic: http://www.thisisnotalabel.com/images/keytar.jpg
#49 - On 04/22/2009 at 12:11pm by kurukururock
(0)was the band Love You Long Time? because the bassist is her husband and the lead singer is her brother. they are awesome.
#51 - On 04/22/2009 at 12:19pm by calibeebe
(0)I think he was just letting you know :-) You deserve to know, but you don't deserve rudenes. If he was rude, don't waste your money buying their records/going to their concerts. He has no reason to be rude at all. It's really no big thing, as long as the person is polite. it's similar to hitting on someone and them saying they're not interested/taken. It's necessary to be honest in that sitaution, but it is not necessary to be rude. He should have come across with an, "I'm sorry, that's my wife." HE was the rude one, not you.
#56 - On 04/22/2009 at 12:37pm by TryToBeKind
(0)Did Not Do The Research.
"Today, I wondered if someone was single, but they weren't. FML"
Some person you barely even knew was married... Don't get so attached to strangers.
#58 - On 04/22/2009 at 12:47pm by tempaccount
(0)You should have slapped the bass (heh) out of his hands, wrapped the power cord around his neck and strangled him and then stole his wife. MAN UP.
(0)Boohoo. Get over yourself. Everyone gets rejected at some point in their lives... and this was a total stranger, so it doesn't even matter... I only clicked YDI as there wasn't a "so?" button
#60 - On 04/22/2009 at 12:51pm by SonicSophie
(0)Ou yeah we sholud have 'who cares' section. This is so not FYL.
#61 - On 04/22/2009 at 12:58pm by Sleepwalker
(0)what the fuck is a keytarist?
I agree with everyone-other than it being a slightly awkward moment-there's no FML here...

#63 - On 04/22/2009 at 1:02pm by marcusaurelius
(0)If you consider THIS to be an FML, I wish I had your life. You asked, he answered. Just because it's not the answer you were looking for doesn't make it an FML.
(0)Well, this really isn't a FML... I mean, assuming the people are complete strangers how were you to know they were married? It would be a bit embarrassing, but it's not like you were asking your best friend if you could date his wife. Now that would be a FML.
(0)#43 - they're not. there were rumors, but they're definitely not.
just because someone plays a pussy instrument like a keytar doesn't make them unattractive... look at vicky t from cobra starship. that girl is a fucking fox.
#70 - On 04/22/2009 at 1:30pm by suicidekings
(0)I'm with #2. It's not like you were hitting on her when he came up, you were asking if she was single - which is perfectly appropriate. He wasn't even rude when he responded.
Definitely more of a "who cares?"
#76 - On 04/22/2009 at 2:11pm by eternalaphrodite
(0)this is the stupidest thing i've ever read on fml. who gives a shit? you ask if a chick is single and turns out she's not? ooh, WAH! poor fucking baby.
if this is as bad as your life gets, i'll gladly trade.
(0)so? honestly, i see nothing even remotely bad about this. so you asked if she was single and you got an answer. it's not like he beat you up or something.
(0)Agreed, #2. Agreed.
Seriously, who cares? If someone asked me if my fiance was dating anyone, I'd consider it a compliment.
#79 - On 04/22/2009 at 2:22pm by airandfingers
(0)Bands with interesting instruments are awesome. Keytarists FTW. Everyone whining needs to turn off their pop radios and listen to something with some actual creative merit.
OP, what band? I hope you highfived him.
#81 - On 04/22/2009 at 2:41pm by Ohnoitslindsay
(0)Seems like quite a few people don't know what a keyar is. A keytar is a keyboard that is held similarly to a guitar.
#84 - On 04/22/2009 at 3:10pm by HeavyMetal
(0)is it skillet? their keyboard player/guitarist and bass player/singer are married
#87 - On 04/22/2009 at 3:45pm by jbenjamin182
(0)how does no one know what a keytar is??!
#43, i was totally thinking the same thing. but vicky-t isnt married to suarez.... idkkk im sure theres another girl keyarist out there
#89 - On 04/22/2009 at 3:52pm by andkeepdancing
(0)That didn't seem very messed up, you're never going to see them again.
#92 - On 04/22/2009 at 4:18pm by RaphX
(0)How were you suppose to know that she was married? And what's the big deal of him telling you the keytarist was married?
(0)shit like this happens all the time....
asking out married women, lesbians, transexuals.... sometimes its for the best!
especially when they are transexuals
two words... boob jobs

mmm
#96 - On 04/22/2009 at 4:48pm by talice4eva
(0)ummm please explain to me how this is an FML? so what. if anything that guy should be thanking you because obviously you just complimented his wife
#98 - On 04/22/2009 at 4:55pm by charlottex33
(0)Totally not a FML... unless the guy was angry, and if he was I don't understand why. Most people would take it as a compliment, unless they are insecure.
(0)Really?? Your entire fml is "today, someone was unavailable"??? Please stop being so lame. Thank you.
PS: Wedding rings are often an indication of that. Just saying.
(0)I'm with the other people who think there should be a "so what?" or "who cares?" option. Seriously, this is just stupid.
(0)Additional support for a "who cares" option. This "oh my god, a girl/boy wasn't available to go out with me!" crap does not warrant an FML.
#104 - On 04/22/2009 at 5:58pm by TJS123OMG
(0)By any random chance, were you watching Love You Long Time? Kinda popular group that goes on tour and stuff and I know the keytarist in it. She's married. Her husbands the bass player.... Hmm that's kinda weird. O.o
#105 - On 04/22/2009 at 6:09pm by mylifesgreat
(0)haha #1 but seriously he probably took it as a compliment that you thought his wife was hot...
#106 - On 04/22/2009 at 6:33pm by look_its_me
(0)that's not really an FYL - it's not that big of a deal that someone you didn't know said that he was married to a girl you thought was cute.
#107 - On 04/22/2009 at 7:12pm by abcxyz1238910
(0)YDI for not knowing two people in a band are together
@OP: I guess you should do some band research...
#108 - On 04/22/2009 at 7:33pm by Epic_Fail_Sauce
(0)That's not really a F Anyone's L. It's not like you tried to make out with his wife or anything. Unless the husband was a real dick, it shouldn't have been a problem for anyone.
(0)LoveYouLongTime? they have a cute keytarist and she is married to the bassist...
#111 - On 04/22/2009 at 9:30pm by BrutalDave
(0)i smell Cobra Starship?? they have a keytarist and im recently certain that she's married to their bassist, plus their on tour right now.
And this is not rly an fml. unless he punched you or something, get over yourself.
#112 - On 04/22/2009 at 10:14pm by Slightmisshap
(0)it sucks! but...the dude seemed kinda lame when he was like, "shes married...TO ME." I mean, shit happens people do that. She should divorce him and play a real instrment.
#116 - On 04/23/2009 at 2:12am by sameoldsameold
(0)Cobra Starship? I was definitely at that same show. :-) April 21st?
#121 - On 04/23/2009 at 5:05am by hollybahbah

Innocent question.
#127 - On 04/23/2009 at 5:00pm by Trix_Disorder
(0)you guys, shut the fuck up about this not being a big deal and gain a sense of humor, this is fucking funny! and #1 that woulda been HILARIOUS except the guy probably woulda punched him lol.
(0)we need a "nobody cares" vote
and #128, you must be the type to laugh at everything that everyone says. get a real sense of humor.
#129 - On 04/23/2009 at 8:29pm by walkemskies
(0)wow this is cool. im a bassplayer... my girlfriend plays keyboards. and she has a keytar too.
#130 - On 04/24/2009 at 4:48am by synesthesia_bass
(0)Not a big deal, you basically just complimented someone's girlfriend.
#131 - On 04/24/2009 at 3:45pm by PohTayToez
(0)Sounds like Love You Long Time.
$ally-Kat, their keytarist, is married to Chains, their bassist.
I'll bet keytar/bass married couples in the same band are pretty few and far between.
p.s. So glad other people know who the heck LYLT are.
#132 - On 04/24/2009 at 6:52pm by Nother
(0)it's gotta be skillet. theyre on tour. their guitarist also plays keys/synth. she's married to the bass player/vocalist.
#133 - On 04/25/2009 at 10:29am by jbenjamin182
(0)I've never seen Korey play the keytar. Only guitars and keyboards.
But if the bass player was John, he'd probably be really chill about it. He knows she's hot, and he talks about it all the time. One time at a show i was at, he was like, "This is my beautiful wife Korey. Hott, isn't she?" and the audience cheered, and he jokingly replied, "Great, now i know who to kill after the show."
Skillet's awesome. But it could be Love You Long Time, or Cobra Starship or another band that someone else mentioned. I'm curious as to what band, so OP please post! My first thought was Skillet but i dunno know how accurate that would be.
Anyway, i wouldn't call it an "fml" moment. A tad embarressing, but kinda cute. Not so much fml.
#134 - On 04/25/2009 at 11:18pm by JenniferRain
(0)Ouch...what shitty luck.
But honestly, I bet the bassist is probably used to that sort of thing. If you're in a band, you don't even need to be particularly good-looking to get plenty of attention, and if you are good-looking you'll have people after you all the time.
#136 - On 05/02/2009 at 4:03pm by l33tm0nk3y
(0)AHH! This was about LYLT!! I grew up with Sally and asked her if anyone had asked Shane if she was single after a recent performance. She said yes, and then said that they were both flattered and that she still likes it when guys hit on her :) So be happy, not sad.
(0)Keytarist? You realize the instrument is a keyboard, not a keytar, right?
#138 - On 05/13/2009 at 6:38pm by cmillertime7
(0)damn i wish i know what band it was..... and actually yea there is such this as a keytar morons so dont try to act like you know what your talking about....
haha, the first thing i thought when i saw this was "cobra starship!!"
but vicky-t is not married to alex suarez. :]
and i can't believe people don't know what a keytar is!
#140 - On 05/17/2009 at 6:10pm by fobfan14
(0)just smile and call him a lucky man.
and then go kidnap his wife.
#141 - On 05/18/2009 at 11:44pm by musicguyguy
(0)You're a douche. Def not an fml. Even if she was single she wouldn't go for you because your dumb enough to think this is an fml. Grow up dumbass
(0)definately not skillet. i just remembered John and Korey have their wedding rings tattooed on their fingers.
Unless that's what he demonstrated by holding up his left hand?
#144 - On 07/10/2009 at 5:31pm by JenniferRain
(0)@43: Nope, none of the Cobras are married.
@OP: So you said his wife was hot. Have you ever seen What Happens In Vegas? Not an FML, but not a YDI either.
#145 - On 07/26/2009 at 1:49am by vivalacobra27
(0)Just out of curiosity, what band was it? I saw a band with a female keytarist once who was married to the bassist, wonder if it's the same one.
#147 - On 08/12/2009 at 5:14pm by spirallingshape
(0)I bet you asked Shane Harris from Love You Long Time about his wife Sally. They were just on the show Wipeout a few weeks ago and were HILARIOUS! Also, I grew up with Sally. They are some of my favorite people ever!
