Today, at a talent show, my band got booed before we even started playing. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Let me guess... You forgot to mention that as you were walking on stage, The lead accordion player knocked over the tambourine player... Then they started to boo you before you got to play your first note...

Tough crowd

Everybody's a critic. Talent shows are a harsh gig.

Maybe you're in the wrong building.

I hear you bro, I'm in a band too. It's a tough world we live in, for bands..:/

Music is a tough gig period. Most people who can hear think they know about it, and most are so quick to criticize something they can usually not do themselves.

Personally, I don't understand what someone could get out of humiliating others to be "funny". Everytime I see it happen my heart sinks...

Sometimes it's not for funny because some people are just ******* bad. Also, booing someone is a motivation for them to look in the mirror and make two choices. One, I'm going to practise everyday and get better because I love doing this or in this case, I'm just going to stick to singing in the washroom.

Ooh, ouch. I hope you still got to play.

Are you in a Nickelback cover band
Harpy20 24
Either that or Avril Lavigne...
sugarshane007 20
It could be a Nickelback cover band with a female lead singer who emulates Avril Lavigne. A match made in nightmares.
chrissy2 28
I think I might be the only person ever that likes Nickleback and isn't afraid to say it....
sugarshane007 20
While I commend you for your honesty, some things are better left unsaid.

I mean yeah, their music is a little overplayed and their lead singer is a douche but they have some good songs. I understand why some people dislike them, I just don't understand the overwhelming hate towards them.
fuzz97 23
I hear you, 48. Personally I think they're pretty generic and boring, but I don't really understand why they get more hate than say, Theory of a Deadman or Creed, which are virtually identical bands in terms of their music.
chrissy2 28
Yeah, and then there is Cage the Elephant... Same song, different lyrics....everytime.

#29, I'd tend to agree, but I will give them credit for the clever name, Vanadium Front. Kudos for consulting the Periodic Table! I guess the audience isn't having fun yet, ye-et, ye-et.

They are just jealous because they can't be on stage.

One direction band?
