Ripped OffA friend who worked in a second hand record shop told us about a Japanese guy who regularly bought "rare" records in their shop. One time, he was looking for a signed copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks".
They didn't have one. Four people and one magic marker later, they did. Ker-ching!
How have you been ripped off? Who did you rip off? Are you a British Gas customer?

Yngwie "Fuckin" MalmsteenLast year, I heard Dragonforce (newish Power metal band) were supporting Yngwie in Wolverhampton. Not a huge Malmsteen fan but I figured "Why not, Dragonforce are great and YM should be OK". Tickets were about £20 or so, plus fees etc, and after we got them it turns out Dragonforce are not on the bill. Oh well, still a gig eh ?
We turn up and the first 2 bands are pretty forgetable (?Mendeed? and ?Katharsis?) - but to be fair not my bag, my mate John liked them. Then YM comes on. Well, his body and about half his ego came on. Now the man can play - Ill give him that, technically he is superb but MY GOD i) get a singer, ii) When performing a song, structure helps - y'know an intro, verse, chorus (feel free to mix these up a wee bit) - DO NOT begin every fuckin song with a 10 minute pseudo-classical screaming guitar solo, have 1 verse sung and then do another 10 miute solo all the while necking Red Bull, de stringing your white (ONLY white)guitar (WOW!) and grinning like a retard.
Ripped off ? You bet.
