The Bear Jew Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 #5 sent me this poem he found online. I think it sums things up pretty well. Why I don't sleep with Bass Players Singers need groupies to want them lust them need them feed them singers don't know how to take care of themselves they crave the glory and adoration of tons of women and i'm often only too happy to do my part for their art guitarists are similar but have more of a clue they sort of know what they need to do but they're artists creators, poets and need a kindred spirit to coax them along and suck their cocks a lot drummers need someone to reassure them to tell them that what they do is valid and important and remind them every day that they are special and unique individuals no, not “short bus” special not everything you've heard about drummers is true. but the bass player has his own agenda their own groove not melody, not rhythm it's their very own vibe they don't need a partner don't need a tribe just a power outlet and a place to play i need to be needed what can i say? -Cynthia Gould \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 HA! You know what? It's kind of true. LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebrownbass Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Uhhh...I would just say that there are some things a guitarist needs that a bass player needs as well. This thing should be posted on the bassplayer traits thread for future reference. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread. Still spendin' that political capital far faster than I can earn it...stretched way out on a limb here and looking for a better interest rate.

_Sweet Willie_ Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Props to Cinque. Definitely some truisms there. Especially the bit about the power outlet and a place to play (although there are some URB folks who might take some issue with that!). May thou groove mightily and amp the vibe!

The Bear Jew Posted March 7, 2003 Author Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yeah folks... I have no idea how Mr. Cinco found this little verse, but it's got some truth in it. However... I'd also add (as I'm both a guitarist and a bassist) that our band will play just about anyplace where we can find semi-reliable power outlets. Having the "kindred spirit" etc, is nice, too, though. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hey, I have solved the problem. I have an Aphex Aural Exciter with Big Bottom in my rack. Just what every bass player needs, an oral exciter with a big bottom! Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prague Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Ahh, the wisdom. I noticed each of us got a "type" of groupie. Singer groupie - all flash and image. Guitarist groupie - after the alpha male. Drummer groupie - wants to be the alpha female. Keyboard groupie - likes poetry, painting. Bassist groupie - likes foundation. Will show up the next night (as will the keyboard groupie).

Chest Rockwell Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Bass players get all the quality women. Women are attracted to the low frequencies the bass produces. I should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Dalton Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Arrah, so what if the singers, guitarists and drummers get the groupies? Groupies are usually sluts. We'll take the classy girls instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
