the thin E string on your guitar snaps in the middle of a practice session and you don't have a replacement and it's late at night so you can't just run down to the nearest music shop and buy one and you haven't even played that much in the last week so it's even more irritating than normal?
God, that sucks.

| Yep, that sucks. (Actually, I only have violin frustration as a reference, but it has a thin E too, and that sucker always snaps at the most inconvenient moments. ) What's even more annoying is if you've saved your old string for just such an emergency, and then it snaps too. |

I hate it when it snaps and slaps you in the face putting a nice little scar down your cheek and then all the rest of the guys in your band start calling your "Herr Komandant" because you look like a Nazi and then you cry and say that you didn't want to be in this stupid band anyway and the bass player gets mad and quits and his girlfriend decides that she wants to play bass but you don't know but then she blows you without telling him so you're like, ok, we'll try it but she's not really good anyway. |

And then later in the month you guys are jamming with the shitty bass guitarist who's always giving you looks but the other guys don't understand way, and you're really gettin into it cause you're hot and heavy thinking about the fun times you've had in the back of eachother's car, and you get a little too into it and your guitar strap comes loose and the fucking guitar falls right to the floor, splitting the neck right off, only at that moment to realize the sexy bass player's boyfriend is coming down the stairs pissed to all hell, sees your broken guitar on the floor, rips off the split neck, and shoves the sharp, broken end right into your thigh, causing you to fall to the floor and bleed profusely?

To answer the question, yes I do hate it.
What I also hate is when a replacement string is lost. That means that not only is one not able to play anymore, but he will have a reputation that he is unable to know where he keeps things.
I also hate when a band does an extreme amount of work to carry and set up all their equipment, but a power outage occurs thereafter.
And I am not too fond of the following scenario:
You are the drummer of a band, and you are drumming for some six-minute song that is really hard to play. Everything you play so perfectly except for the last minute of the song in which you hit a cymbal so hard that the cymbal falls off its stand and crashes onto a $3,000 microphone, resulting in damage beyond repair.
That last one never happened to me, but it could have. |

I hate it when i replace strings, and one breaks, and all i've got is another set...do i replace the one, or all......
For a while the same string kept breaking on my acoustic, but now its seemed to calm itself.. |

One time Frank was playing So. Bay as the last song of a three song encore and his high E string broke mid song. It was cool. Frank dealt with it so why can't you whiners?
Actually I hate when my high E string breaks too.

And then you go to the hospital to have your bloody leg operated on and the surgeons reveal that you have some bizarre form of cancer and you quit the band but don't tell anyone about the cancer and years pass and you're seemingly on the verge of dying and, in your desperation, convert to Christianity or something and meanwhile your ex-band is raking in the dough and then they realize you're dying and record a song dedicated to you with you singing a verse and the song is released as a single and sells like, a gazillion copies and then you're inexplicably cured of the cancer and the band asks you to rejoin after the other guitarist leaves to start a solo career and you accept their invitation but the songs that you write for the group are rooted in your newfound Christian faith and totally suck ass yet the music is dumbed down enough from the band's previous output that the band becomes more popular than ever before, sort of like how Phil Collins ruined Genesis?
Anyway, I bought a couple of 10s today, so I'm good! |
