Being thrown out of a band - specifically, being reminded several times that You Are Expendable, and then finally being shown incontrovertible proof by being ditched - is all part of Growing Up. Personally, I don't consider anyone to be even approaching maturity until they have experienced this particular form of pain, and dealt with it in any of half a dozen stupid ways.

Ex-lead-guitar for 'Eclipse' who played the John Barleycorn Tavern Once (the bassist snapped a string)

And some other place twice, I can't remember. I DO recall some dick playing pac-man during our set, because the sound effects were louder than we were.
