We used to get the biggest cheer of the night when we started it. We used to finish with Rabbit by Chas n’ Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try something easy, like juggling chainsaws. I find your lack of talent disturbing…. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or some folky stuff about the Clearances - they love that down Bannermanns on a Saturday night. I'm just sad I didn't have what it takes to be in a covers band. after playing in a cover band for over thirty years I’m gutted to find out I don’t have what it takes to be in a cover band! 4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m comfortable in my self awareness that I’m a talentless, soulless waste of time. I struggle to play bass lines I’ve written after one listen.

Stub Mandrel Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Last gig the encore was a song I'd never heard before. Guitarist told me C and played me the bass riff, once, quietly. I rather enjoyed it, crowd were happy. But It was a straight 12 bar, took a couple of verses to get the turnaround 🤪 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest if it is then being in a covers band isn't really for you as you're expecting the audience to already know them. So basically you're a root and fifth kind of guy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Blank Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Come on you lot, I was able to play the entire bass solo output of Oscar Pistorius after one listen. Granted I was off my mash on Cricklewood bazookas at the time but there we are. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
