Today, my mate came over wanting me to listen to a new music CD he got. It was by some unknown band, and at the end he asked me what I thought, and I said it was ok but the lead singer couldn't sing even if his life depended on it. Turns out my mate's the lead singer, and it was his own band. FML

Well he asked, so he got what he wanted.

Agree with #1....he didn't tell you whose band it was before he got your opinion on the subject because he wanted an honest opinion out of you. You gave him one- he should've told you it was his band before asking an opinion if he was just fishing for a compliment.

"Mate" can just mean "friend" in some countries.

your friend deserved to know that. i think its better if you tell your friends the truth than letting them make a stupid mistake

People need to stop posting honesty as a FML

Well he did ask for your opinion. But you probably should've guessed it was his band - who calls someone over to listen to CD by an "unknown band"? XD

he asked for your opinion, you gave it. perhaps a little more tact may have been helpful, but an honest opinion is always the best one in the end.

You should have seen that coming. This was very predictable.

I don't know how anyone thinks you deserve this. If anything, HE deserved it for tricking you.

sounds like 50/50 here... kinda deserve it... but so does he. At least he got a truthful answer, and not all music is appealing to everyone :)

that's awkward. well, in the music industry he's gotta learn to roll with the punches. :
