Today, at a talent show, my band got booed before we even started playing. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my band got booed off stage. FML
Today, I had my high school piano recital. The entire time I was playing, one of my classmates sitting up front kept booing me and yelling "YOU SUCK" at the top of his lungs. He drowned out the entire song. FML
Today, after months of constant encouragement from my friends, I went and entered a singing contest. I sang and was booed off stage. Later on I found out my friends lied to me about my ability to sing, just so I could give them a cheap laugh. 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, I had my first chorus concert. We got a bigger applause when we left the stage than when we sang. FML
Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML
Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. 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, I overcame my stage fright and got up in front of a café audience with my acoustic guitar to sing a few of my songs. Some asshat kept yelling stuff like "NEEDS MORE COWBELL!" and "FREEBIRD!", which made me lose my nerve and flee. FML
Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe they simply weren't done booing for the group you were following.

If you still went ahead to play, kudos to you. I know how it feels, I never did manage to play after they boo-ed me.
sens3sfailing 25
Wait, it's good that 1 still continued to play? Ohhh that's right, your just looking for attention even though you are poster 16 and posting that on its own would probably still be read, but it's just not the same as the top now is it?

Anyone else notice that sens3sfailing is failing pretty harshly? I mean sarcasm is great and all, but dicking up everyone's comments is pretty shitty.

21- your sens3s are failing you. Stop being an ass cricket about it. People always thread jack. Get over it. As for op, just try and go with the flow, man. Just play on anyways!

Tough crowd. But your tougher!

It's high school level, I'm sure. Nothing but a silly popularity contest. Immaturity & ignorance run rampant during this time so don't take it personal. Keep doing what you love & they'll see how stupid they are for doing nothing while you were chasing your dreams & having a great time in doing so.

Did you pull a Susan Boyle??
Reeserr 3
Eh... Practice?
sugarshane007 20
How does this even help?? They were booed before even playing! For all you know hey may have practiced day and night for months!
Mister_Triangle 21
You have to practice your stage entrances, duh
Carpy 8
Eh...grow up???

No...OP said "started booing" but that's nice wishful thinking you have.
chickenflem 8
No OP didn't. 3 may be correct
sens3sfailing 25
****! You're right! I retract my shamefully wrong statement *begins digging the who to bury the comment*
jtthegr8 26
Quite optimistic :) Hopefully op thinks the same
Angelous505 5
What if Op was first in the talent show?

52 - Then the final act at last year's show must have been REALLY bad!
TomPusslicker 21
...Or they just didnt like the sound check guy. I've seen his act myself, it was awful.
damoki 8
Wow that really does suck, maybe try a different venue??
Skarkie321 18
Talent shows are usually at schools for people that go there, it's not really a "venue" per say
sens3sfailing 25
That's what you get for trying to play rock band at a talent show!
LaLince 40
lol
sens3sfailing 25
I mean rock band the video game. Not just trying to play dress up or something.
sugarshane007 20
The moment you have to explain the joke, you have failed.
jewwybeanzzz 10
I understood your joke. It was funny until you ruined it by explaining it
sens3sfailing 25
I was getting thumbed down prior to explaining it so I thought maybe it was because it wasn't explicit enough. I realize and accept the thumbs down, just saying my thought process.
martin_martian7 11
I think the band was Memphis may fire...
sens3sfailing 25
Haha 44 that's so funny since they don't fit your taste and therefore must suck right? Look up the lyrics to generation:hate by them, they were made for you.

I second that I saw them live at Metalfest they are pretty damn good live. Would've stayed longer but Darkest Hour was gonna play! And I agree 6 too many people think they're good just because they can play Rock Band! Of course being able to play it does translate somewhat to some sort of proficiency on their respective instruments but try writing your own music 0-0

Sense! Please just put the shovel down, and walk away slowly!
beachyballerina 12
It's want funny either way, dipshit.

74) Not necessary.
sens3sfailing 25
*hands 65 the shovel reluctantly and breaks down* IT'S JUST SO HARD TO QUIT!

46 - I think 44 was trying to bait you.
sens3sfailing 25
I know, that's why I referred him to a song about people being ass holes to put it in a short way
zepher93 7
Less eyeliner, more liposuction?
fuzz97 23
Are you sure you commented on the right story
Mister_Triangle 21
8 - I'm sorry that nobody gets your joke. If it helps, know that I appreciated it.
zepher93 7
Good to know someone does:P
olpally 33
Why??? So many details are missing from this fml. I'm not going to assume anything until op tells us why. That's just rude of the crowd in general. Wow!
cliffibom 15
Who knows, maybe OP's band was dressed in KKK's hoods? We can only guess...

This sounds like one of those dreams when you're about to do something big and then realize you don't have any pants on
DKjazz 20
I had a dream like that once. The big thing was yo mama.

Your reputation precedes you
Missy2612 11
Tough crowd. That must have been pretty awkward for you and your band mates.. Sorry for the bad experience!
Mynameislinh 24
Well, you should have blown their minds with your performance and shown them who needs to be booed.
