Judo Chop Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Guitarist: "No I won't turn the bass down on my amp, that's my sound." No, I think you'll find that's MY sound, being the bassist and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Gormless female singer, after someone suggested we put 'Soul Man' in the set: "I really don't want to do that, it's so cheesy 80's..." Me and guitarist, in unison: "No, the original by Sam and Dave" G.F.S.: "Who?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 And on a more personal level, during a pause in our sound check at a corporate event, the guitarist of another band on the gig walks past me and says, with heavy sarcasm: "Ooh. 5 strings. Gosh." I managed to resist the near-overwhelming urge to pin him to the ground and break his arms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneyg42 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Emails go round that we need to learn In These Arms by Bon Jovi for a birthday party. Due to illness we are unable to rehearse in the week before. No probs we can wing it on the night. Get to the night and keyboardist says "oh I've learnt Always!" Give him his due though he slammed his headphones on and keyboard on the iPhone and learnt the damned song. He's the technical whizz in the band but maybe reading emails is beyond him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsmith Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A couple from history... Hasn't learnt or even acknowledged existence of new songs for tonight's rehearsal: "I have to read emails at work, I'm not going to read any when I'm not there!" Followed by an admission that he's booked a holiday that clashes with a gig we've had booked for months: "I have to use a diary at work, I'm not going to use one when I'm not there!" ...and then this, from a different drummer: "Where is everybody?" "We're in Sutton, the PA is all set up and the drum mics are on the floor awaiting your kit" "Aren't we playing in Hayes?" "Yes, we are, tomorrow night!" "Oh, I'm there now, thought it seemed a bit quiet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaypup Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Drummer: Sorry old chap but my spine which as you know was broken in 3 places is giving me too much gyp.
