Today, I got kicked out of my band by the guy who quit two weeks ago. The bad part? Everyone else agreed with him. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my (now former) best friend kicked me out of the band I started because I wasn't 'dedicated enough' after a 3 day 'holiday' to visit my dying uncle. He also during this 3 day 'holiday' convinced my girl friend to leave me and date him. FML
Today, I got kicked out of my favorite pub. I yelled at the group behind me for being annoying. They were extremely irritating, singing songs and cheering, but the manager decided to kick me out instead. FML
Today, I was in a band with some friends and we got our first gig at a local festival, but I'd already agreed to work serving drinks at the festival. My bandmates got really annoyed and kicked me out of the band. They then went ahead and performed the song that I WROTE, without me, at the festival where I was working. FML
Today, my band got booed off stage. FML
Today, I was kicked out of a comedy club for laughing too loudly. FML
Today, I went to see my new boyfriend play in a band. I found out that groupies don't like even bass players having girlfriends. I was attacked by one because he smiled at me from the stage. FML
Today, I was kicked out of the mall along with a bunch of my friends, sworn at by the security guards, and personally escorted all the way to the sidewalk, only to find out we'd been mistaken for another group of people. FML
Today, my band and I played at our first ever real gig. Our drummer turned up high out of his damn mind. After ruining our act with his godawful performance, he screamed "HELL YEAH!" then ran and dove off the stage into a nearly non-existent audience. We were told to never come back. FML
Today, at a talent show, my band got booed before we even started playing. FML
Today, I went onto my band's MySpace just to check if we had any new comments or anything like that and I noticed that I was listed as a past member. Nobody ever told me I was replaced. FML

So maybe start a new band? If they don't appreciate you then they don't deserve you.

I feel like an epic solo career is in the works.

Titled: "The Outcast Chronicles"

3 out of 4 band members say that the fourth needs to go... Sorry OP, I hope a very bright solo career is in your future!

I wonder if they kicked him out because he didn't look good enough?
niallo 23
I'm betting they'll be asking for him back. Remember, the other band member already quit once. And if you started the band, did you chose the name. If so, the name of the band is yours. I don't know how well known your band is, or if you play gigs, but you could stick it to them by making them start fresh. They'll be a totally new band with no reputation.

Any man can stand proud with a group but only few are strong alone. Be one of the few, OP .
Waspinator1998 21
That's what happened with Megadeth and Metallica, in terms of someone getting kicked out and going on to become a huge success. The circumstances in which this happened, however...
Martinez0285 28
Who are you... Scott Wiland?
Martinez0285 28
Weiland*
OnlyAvailableID 28
It could be worse. The OP could've been told he was out by fax.
Martinez0285 28
Was that a back to the future reference ?

Or Facebook.

I saw Stone Temple Pilot in concert three times. Twice with Scott Weiland, last with Chester Bennington (frontman from Linkin Park). He fit right in and I am pleased with the replacement but still miss Weiland's vocals that I'm so used to hearing.
Martinez0285 28
I'm sorry I just can't get used to Chester as the new front man.. I am very unhappy with it... I know Scott had many chances to clean up his act and I understand the bands decision to replace him... But ChesTP will not grow on me

They must've just been waiting for an excuse to get rid of you if they agreed so readily with someone who shouldn't have any more sway in the band. Really sucks though, sorry mate.

How does that even work?
DavidKnows 11
The guy who quit spoke to the other members, and made a more convincing argument for why he left, and why the others should follow HIM, instead of OP.
TwistedCherub1 15
They probably asked the quitter why he quit. When he explained how he couldn't stand OP, the rest of them agreed. That's how I figure it went, anyway.
CaitiieBuggs 23
This exact thing happened to my husband. In his situation, the quitter convinced them that since my husband was in a relationship he'd be leaving soon anyway. The quitter also said he was the real 'talent' in the band; less than a month later he re-quit the band to do solo work. He was an ass.

Never give up on your dreams

Totally agree!

Go solo and make a name like Ralph Lauren polo.

scream "yolo" out of vain say they're insane and develop a new moto: "IMA make it rain like a hurricane when I get on stage with my new band yo" skip the rage turn the page a brand new phase might come slow though, but don't hesitate better late than never no?
olpally 33
Why was that guy still allowed to be around your band if he quit? The ****? You have shitty band mates there. Go make a new band.
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
So someone quits the band and he has to automatically stop being friends with everyone else in the band? If the OP thought the same way I can see why they kicked him out.

I feel like this is a fake FML referring to the FML that was published a few weeks ago..
Embyr 8
Why would they value the opinion of someone who didn't care enough to stay anyway??
Mons_fml 27
Im pretty sure op was such a ******* **** that the rest of the band talked shit about it behind his back until one of them quit because of him. And then his friends all decided to kick op out instead cause they like the other guy.
AlaskanG 27
And your band just welcomed him right back? That's a stupid decision. Hopefully they'll realize when he leaves again.
Nooblah 15
They didn't let him back in, they kicked OP out of the band on the opinion of a band member who left 2 weeks ago.
AlaskanG 27
I'm not talking about OP....
Nooblah 15
I realize that."Him" was supposed to refer to the band member who quit. I just worded it badly. I was trying to say that OP was kicked out of his band out of the opinion of a band member who left.
AlaskanG 27
That doesn't mean that they didn't let the other guy back in.
Nooblah 15
It doesn't say if the ex band member was let back in or not, so we can't really tell.
