As a reformed public guitar player myself, good on that man for speaking up. It’s the first step in getting help for many of us.

I’ll let the professional haters say it better than I could:
“Overexposed is a hit-seeking missile that doesn’t just slaughter Maroon 5’s reputation for sincerity, it festoons its corpse with glitter, hairspray and Hello Kitty Stickers.” — The Washington Post
“Once a real live band whose humanity, however glossy it might have been, could be verified by its mostly organic sound, Maroon 5 now appears to have converted into a silicone simulacrum of its former self with “Overexposed,” a collection of faceless android pop guaranteed to sound exactly like all the songs sequenced around it on Top 40 radio.” — News OK

Maroon 5 was his boarding group.

Bro should’ve known to start with covers from the Doom Eternal soundtrack.

The Doom Eternal soundtrack is a pale shadow of the Doom 2016 soundtrack.

Reminds me of the people who preach on planes. They just get up and start preaching to the passengers against their will.

Do people bring guitars as carry-ons and take a whole overhead bin like that?
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I don’t have a musical instrument, but if I did you bet your ass I’d be keeping it in my sight rather than let the cargo handlers beat the absolute shit out of it.
If overhead bins are for anything, they should be for important things like that.
The reason overhead space is so crowded in the first place is because airlines have created a perverse pricing structure which charges extortionately for checked luggage and encourages everyone to take the biggest carry-ons they can.
Doom@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Would you trust your instrument to be stored under the plane? I don’t have a problem with people bringing fragile items into the cabin. That doesn’t mean it’s his main character moment to pull it out and dazzle a (literally) captive audience.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You’re kinda a dick if you do. A guitar will take up an entire bin that is for a row of three people.
If you ask nicely, you might get a flight attendant who can put it in the closet at the front of the aircraft usually reserved for business class.
Otherwise get a hard case and check it with your fingers crossed.
huppakee@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I have seen instruments on board but I dont think you can just “take a whole overhead bin” without having permission to take something larger then a normal carry-on with you. I bet they charge you more than double what a normal carry-on would set you back.
resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 2 weeks ago
Instruments can be carried-on. I don’t think there’s an up-charge.
Do people abuse it? Certainly.
kayohtie@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
I took my travel guitar on my latest flight. Not as small as a Traveler-brand one, but I was able to put it behind 2 other roller-bag carry-ons that were rotated length-wise instead of depth-wise along with my partner’s CPAP. Still meant 4 bags in the overhead slot like normal. I just put my CPAP bag under the seat in front of me and didn’t bring a backpack, instead. Same net result.
But that’s with a travel guitar, specifically the Enya Nova GO SP1 which is much smaller than my mini-jumbo Washburn (EA15). I don’t know how on earth I’d fly with that short of making arrangements to put it in a special location besides the luggage compartment. I’d be too worried about it being damaged even in a hard case, especially from the atmospheric changes.
FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 3 weeks ago
The “old guy” was right. As long as all passengers aren’t sitting down all buckled up the plane can’t go anywhere even if the tower would allow it.
13igTyme@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Flights don’t get delayed because someone is standing or unbuckled.
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They can be. The cabin crew will communicate to the flight crew when the interior is ready, they won’t takeoff without it, and someone refusing to sit down or buckle up definitely counts as not ready.
If a passenger gets up and causes a disturbance later, that would also get communicated to the flight crew and, shot of the plane having started its takeoff roll, there’s a good chance everyone is going back to the gate to remove this person.
microcapybara@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I’ve always seen the flight attendants stand and wait until whatever they request has been adjusted. But 90% of my flying experience is in Europe so maybe it’s different in the US.
FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 3 weeks ago
They do if the captain is waiting for the final go ahead from the tower. They can’t go anywhere until everything is secure and ready to go.
Signtist@bookwyr.me 3 weeks ago
What, do you think the crew is just going to sit there when this guy is the only thing keeping them from leaving? As soon as everything else keeping them from taking off is resolved they’ll politely tap him on the shoulder to let him know to put the guitar away.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Dude, come on, you have to be
a fucking idiotway too credulous to take this at face value. It’s a picture of some guy calmly putting an acoustic guitar into the overhead compartment, and the Facebook post, with literally no evidence, warps it into how he started specifically “playing Maroon 5” and how he got shamed into stopping by some guy shouting at him to shut the fuck up. (You’d think they’d know the song he was playing for 30 seconds if they know it’s Maroon 5.) It’s the most generic “DAE Maroon 5 is obnoxious? XD” fake story you could make.
Trampampoline@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
The stages of forum disbelief:
- Wait, some of this stuff is fake?!
- That’s fake!
- That’s fake too!
- That’s FAKE, well, it’s a funny scenario. Who cares if the OP is fake? Look at the discussion it spawned.
- Haha, another fake post, let’s see what they’re saying about it anyway, lol those silly fakers.
and then everyone fucked

Right. With today’s coverage of events this would have been posted on tiktok and YouTube from 4 different point of views.

Unless he had the row to himself, I imagine that would be pretty difficult. That or maybe the guy who yelled was sitting in his row.

There’s no way this works and doesn’t annoy most people there. Music taste is too personal, unless perhaps its light/delicate sort of classical stuff.

I hear you and I like your optimistic and slow to judge take on it. But the keyboard commando in me really wants to lash out about the musical choice. But you have set a good example, and I will grit my teeth and follow your lead.
