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.

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

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.

Do people bring guitars as carry-ons and take a whole overhead bin like that?
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 22 hours 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 1 day 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 18 hours 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 20 hours 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 17 hours ago
Instruments can be carried-on. I don’t think there’s an up-charge.
Do people abuse it? Certainly.
FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 1 day 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 1 day ago
Flights don’t get delayed because someone is standing or unbuckled.
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 day 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 1 day 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 1 day 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 23 hours 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.

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 1 day 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

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.
