How many times have I seen somebody famous or successful have their overly significant other come up with some stupid disruptive and counterproductive schlockness like AP and force her drivel out into the public.
I?m with garges and the horse she stole to get there.
A great big NO to Amanda.

Harumph!
Oh man, I just figured out that she's that chick from the Dresden Dolls... well then let me just say that I got in on the ground floor of this whole "not caring for her" thing a long time before this incident.

Yes. This.MoreSpaceEcho wrote:i'm thinking it'd be pretty amusing if some string folks showed up, did rehearsal all professional-like, then on the gig played everything a half step out. which would of course be petty, vindictive, and extremely unprofessional. but it would be entertaining.

Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

That reminds me of three funny things:
1) The Van Halen incident (don't have a link right now, but it's on YouTube), where they're live in concert in Brazil or something, and the dat tape of keyboard parts on "Jump" is off-speed, but Eddie plows through his out-of-tune solo anyway...
2) The time a bunch of drunk weasels detuned our instruments one night in a bar when the band was outside on a break. Man, the opening chords of the next set were a shocker...
3) Closest to the point of the posts above, my friend Len, an amazing guitarist, would often randomly play signature guitar lines to songs a half or whole step up, or even in rhythm but a 12-tone kind of thing; just for his own amusement and the amusement of those who could figure it out... This would be live on-stage in front of a crowd, just because he could. It was a riot.
To the matter at-hand-- What if we start a Kickstarter campaign to fund AP's string section in certain high-profile towns, but we give them the secret instructions? ( "A half-step higher, please... Cello? A quarter-tone lower").
