HELP!!! My college roomate is constantly playing Zakk Wylde songs. And when he's not doing boring repeptitive pentatonic shred, he's attempting to sing! He's been "singing" (aka butchering) "Heart of Gold" for three days now! And when I say butchering, I mean that when Neil Young sang this song, at least HE was on key! When my roomate sings it it's like a step and a half flat. How do I tell him that his voice is terrible?????? (Remember, I've gotta LIVE with this guy!)

Just "ask" him if he could do it somewhere else.

Hmm...that's a pretty good idea, Mr. Instruc-TOR....I thinks I has the solution!

ask him if he can play, down the street?
"Hey can you play down the street"
then it will drive him insane trying to figure out if you meant play litteraly down the street or a song called down the street...
and then he'll have an anyuerism[sp?]

Equivalently you could just hit him with a baseball bat !

Hahaha, how delightfully evil! But I was thinking I should do something with a little more tact than a cracked skull.

Jolly is right, something with a little more tact is right, well.... you can hit him over the head with his own guitar?! It will get rid of two problems at once.

At least your roommate is in the guitar as well. Try to find some common ground. If that's impossible I understand. Living in close quarters with someone for an extended period of time is very unnerving. I just went through 5 years of college so I know what it's like. Remember this thread?
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

I like the tape recorder idea. Record him and play it back right next to his head at night when he's trying to sleep...
