Who in their right mind would think it's appropriate to ask someone fly to a different country to do multiple shows for free, and try to pass it off under some "love of the game" BS? Like, you can be passionate about music, but that would be just plain stupid. We've seen a ton of choosing beggars, but what never fails to bewilder is when they straight up get mad when people don't want to be taken advantage of.

    Text - for that show. It's gonna be 4 sets around 45 minutes each. I heard your the best drummer in town to ask. Would you be intrested in it? Sounds great, man. I'm not really sure if you've noticed though, but I live in Germany now, so it may be a bit trickier Have you got a so lid date?

    Text - No worries bro. You can just fly here right? Of course man! Just let me know what dates work for you and we'll work something out. Seeing as you're going to have to fly me out, we can even work something out with the rate

    Text - okay firstly thought you will do this for free and also have you seen the costs of a flight from Germany to| lol So let me get this straight. You want me to take the time to learn your repertoire, take time off work, fly down to on my own dime to play a commercial gig for absolutely free?

    Text - Why not bro? It's the love of music that feeds us right? Actually, it's the money earn which I exchange for food that does the trick... Either way, I'm sorry,but I'm going to have to decline this offer.

It's a little bit unprofessional bro comeon bro I already told the band that we are going to have the best drummer playing with us come on bro.

    Text - Like said, I'm happy to do it if you're willing to fly me down and I'm happy to give you a good rate because of it. It makes no sense for me to do it for free. It's an absolutely ridiculous offer. Look i'm going throuh a divorce and I need this gig bro. Dont do this to me I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm not doing it for free are you heartless?
