Bridog6996 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 This really goes for all musicians, but for some reason, the writer of the article made it about jazz. clink At least pianists don't have to worry about "guitar nipple."

EscapeRocks Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 LOL that was an ....ummmm.... interesting article <---this guy looks like he has guitar nipple Ok, it's late, and I've had a few beverages...but there's something oddly satisfying saying "guitar nipple" out loud.

Meisenhower Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think Dr. Shock has waayyyy too much time on his time to be writing a nonsense blog like that. His time would be better spent studying some jazz!!

David Loving Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 "Raised pressure in the neck region can increase mortality either by reducing blood supply to the brain (cerebrovascular ischaemia) or venous stasis (thromboembolism)." This would explain some real bad solos I have heard. On the whole I think the learned Dr is FOS. His biggest mortality risk is saying something stupid, me thinks. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

SK Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yeah, this line of 'thinking' bugs me so much, I'm posting a second time. Apparently non-jazz musicians never abuse their bodies with drugs or alcohol, or develop "guitar nipple". If this BS was carried to the farthest extreme, we'd see jazz outlawed as a health risk, like smoking. Twilight Zone: "Since we know the well documented health risks posed by smoking and playing jazz, public education is paramount to reduce these threats to zero."

Bridog6996 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 I couldn't tell if the article was totally serious or somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Seems to me that when it comes to drugs and alcohol, jazz cats don't have anything on rock musicians. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loving Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I always saw those things the learned Dr sees as health risks as "features" in my jazz universe! That's what I loved doing - all the stuff I was told not to do! That included hanging out in jazz clubs. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

lerber3 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Beware the dangers of unprotected sax!!! http://www.bmj.com/content/vol319/issue7225/images/large/kins5260.f2.jpeg This article contains the above graph, along with some analysis of musician longevity versus which instrument you play. According to the article (based on statistical analysis of historical musician mortality) on average: - sax/woodwind players die first - then brass - then keyboardists - then percussionists - finally, vocalists Interestingly, being a multi-instrument player greatly reduces your chance of packing it in early. ... but what my other instrument is a sax??!?

wmp Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I had to read both pieces a few times. Is this a joke? No, they seem to be serious. Who is this Dr. Shock? And who the heck is this BMJ? The British Medical Journal? No sh!t? These folks are for real? They get paid for writing this stuff? If they were right about this, and circular breathing is the culprit, Kenny G would have died a long time ago. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Link Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 When I was an intern, my neurology attending, who was an avid amateur musician (a cellist IIRC) had just returned from a medical meeting specifically devoted to musician's injuries. He admitted that it was mostly an excuse to hang out and play chamber music with some really good players, but was actually related to his profession. So, there is a field of study out there. aka âmisterdregsâ Nord Electro 5D 73 Yamaha P105 Kurzweil PC3LE7 Motion Sound KP200S Schimmel 6-10LE QSC CP-12 Westone AM Pro 30 IEMs Rolls PM55P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
