rehearsal room stories

i've seen many rehearsal rooms so far.. and most time you can tell what kind of "musicians" are practising in a certain kind of rehearsal room


when there's a fridge, a sofa, a big table and so an, most time the guys are pretty chilled.. 
it's always a mess in the room, nobody feels obligated to take out the trash or what ever.. you'll find many objects from the street (like a cone) in there, because it was once funny to steal it


they are happy to play about 6-7 songs pretty well, to make shows about 4-5x in a year in a not too big distance (about 20-30km)
for most time their rehearsals are more like chilling with best friends.. the music isn't the real deal, everyone is looking for the beer after... and smoking different stuff.. they nearly always bring their girlfriends or some other kind of good friends with them.. 
so making music is about 1/3 of the time and hanging around about 2/3
needless to say, they aren't very productive but still can have high potential, if only they take it more serious
best for a relaxed evening when you want to get down


some other kind is a rather big room, with some sofas, no fan-merchandise, equipped with the important things (amps, PA, good drumkit but no "extraordinary" stuff)
only small, normal amounts (for musicians) of trash
the room serves it's only purpose, to practice the stuff.. not really to create stuff, it's just there to meet to learn playing together as a whole band.. normally every one is well prepared, knows his parts and is on time.. 
the sofas are there for resting and sleep, because most time such bands a spread over a huge region and it takes some hours to drive for some members.. they do this, because they take it serious, they are eager and want to get somewhere
those people normally know what they want and their thinking is based on effectiveness but they also can make party AFTER rehearsal, which can take 4-5h


an other kind of room is "the talented guy's room"
it's a clean tidy and bright room with sound absorbing walls.. there's much money in it because everything has to be right.. you'll find there every kind of instrument, keyboard, drums, guitars, basses, some special percussion things and so on.. a good PA, a mixing console, a Mac Computer.. it's a room without any sofas or fridge.. maybe some fanstuff like a poster but in a small amount.. this room is used to create music and to practice straight forward.. there's no hanging around and chances are good you're not allowed to smoke or drink softdrinks (because of the sugar -> sticky stuff) 
it's big enough for a band to rehearsal, but there isn't space for any comfort or hanging around..
those guys are really into music and they usually play a lots of instrument and take it serious.. but they also are very fast butt-hurt if you don't appreciate they work they way they like to.. or if you're better on an instrument..
good guy's to work with, great success and a good future! 
but not always the easy-going-personality, they often have some issues (mostly with them self)


i spend much time in my younger years (around 19-20 haha) with good friends in a rather big room.. it was a shelter for civilians in a case of nuclear attack or somekind of natural desaster.. you'll find such rooms in every house in switzerland..
we could use it for free, the city gave it to us with the condition we must be able to clear the room within 24h if necessary.. well no problem..
we put much work in it, to make it sound absorbing (with this egg-container-like-stuff) and decorated it well.. 
today i would describe it as an fan-rehearsal-room.. we had MANY posters of our idols and played only songs from them together.. we didn't want to have an own band, we just wanted to play songs we liked.. our equipment was sufficient, no PA because no singing..
we had a fridge, nice sofa and really hard parties in there.. smoking allowed... we took care of the trash..
a real good freetime place for young people who likes music and play instruments!

and last a picture of our (my main band's) most recent room.. it's a bunker from WW2
