Does anyone remember...?

Does anyone remember what Jon said in the Behind the Music about how he fired Alec? i might have to fire our bass player tonite and i was wondering what Jon said to soften the blow. thanks for the help

tell him you've found a keyboard player

Jon said he just told him. No special things. "I had him at my house one night and I just told him." he said.

Is that the 'soft' approach you were hoping for, eh?

not exactly,,,maybe i'll just tell him and he'll beat me up and that will be the end of it. it will be happening in a few hours,,,wish me luck!

Do you need me to rescue you this time? I can be your knight in amour...

Alec is bount to have known it was coming hed sold his story to the press which is a no no in the bj gang so he knew the chop was on its way.

he's the bass player...... so long as you tell him hid behind your drummer, he won't be able to do anything

I've technically fired 3 people before (although they were never serously commited, and in one case hadn't even played with us)....

One I kicked out because he got his hair cut (he's the one who had never played, it was more of a joke than anything else)

One I kicked out because he had something else on when we were practicing, so I gave him an ultimatum, then fired him...... I told him in person, but then left a note in his register to be read out infron of his form (I thought it was funny )

Our drummer we just never asked him to play with us, so didn't really fire him.... We weren't getting along as musicians (still friends), so just didn't bother keeping him in after he left college.



What you should do is.... Tell him you have a band practice somewhere, set a day and time. Then, on the front of the door to the practice room, pin up a sign saying, "You're out of the band". Then the rest of you don't turn up.... He may see the funny side, and if not, he'll have probably cooled down by the time you see him next.
