thabottomend Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Our band came up with a creative way to avoid trainwrecks last practice. Whoever misses an ending buys the next round. Should work about four times. After that, who's gonna know who played the last note... Do not be deceived by, nor take lightly, this particular bit of musicianship one simply describes as "bass". - Lowell George "The music moves me, it just moves me ugly." William H.

EddiePlaysBass Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think there would be a suspicious rise in trainwrecks in my band ... "I'm a work in progress." Micky Barnes The Ross Brown Shirt World Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Iverson Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 While of course there have been times where we make mistakes onstage, it usually hasn't been TOO noticeable... There have been a couple of times where the singer asked the keyboardist to do the song in another key, and they somehow or the other failed to tell ME, the guitarist - luckily I was able to figure it out quickly and adapt. But I think your solution is an excellent one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butcherNburn Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Now, if you had a solution for a band full of AA/NA alumnii ... There's always physical violence. Well that or cash.

butcherNburn Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Still cheap but still possibly along the lines of physical abuse is pushups. The non-violators decide 5 or 10. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabottomend Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Still cheap but still possibly along the lines of physical abuse is pushups. The non-violators decide 5 or 10. I'm pushing 50 (or as I prefer to say, dragging 45) and I'm the youngest in the band. I don't think any of us could to ten pushups. Sure would be funny to watch though.
