Invincible Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I get pretty annoyed when people come to my house, see my bass sitting in the corner, pick up it up and start doing stupid things like strumming it, tugging on the strings, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Here's one that I'm sure we all share: When g***** players ask to play our basses, then proceed to shred like it was one of their wimpy 6-stringers instead of the manly 4-5 stringer it is. Ah, nice marmot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Jew Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I hate it when five supermodels all wanna sleep with me at the same time, but I can only fit three of them in the limo because the rest of the space is taken up by sushi and $1000. bills. Doesn't that suck? \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...

_Sweet Willie_ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I hate when a band you wanna go hear (like Mean Ether) goes to play a gig in your old hometown (like NYC) and not your current hometown (like Chicago). Bastardos! Have a great gig, Erik. spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebrownbass Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I hate it when 5 supermodels wanna sleep with me, and when we get home, ALL we do is sleep. Gettin' old is a bitch!!!!

xhawk4 Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I hate it when some musicians, mainly guitarists and singers, think their crap dosen't stink. They think they are better than the general public, just because they're musicians. Go figure. They're just playing $200, middle of nowhere, gigs. Nothing wrong with that kind of pay but be humble, the meek shall inherit the earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I hate when someone comes up to the band and hands us a dollar and makes a request. That's 20 cents for each of us in a five piece band. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 That's 20 cents for each of us in a five piece band.Hah! That's exactly why I play in a THREE piece band! My pet peeves? - That 50-ish guy in the corner who thinks he's being funny by repeatedly and loudly requesting country & western songs from the rock band on stage. - That 40-ish guy with the mullet and mustache whose musical preference seems to be limited to "Ya know any Skynrd?" "Can ya play Old Time Rock and Roll?" - Local bar bands that have been around for 20 years... and haven't learned a new song in 10 years. - "Classic Rock". Some songs just need to be retired. - I almost hate to include this, cuz I feel a bit like a traitor, but... slap bassists who think every song needs a bass solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClarkW Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Playing in a rock/country band, and getting a request for reggae. Reggae! Did you not notice how WHITE I am? My legs match my socks, fergawshsakes! Also, and I'm sure this has been mentioned before and will be mentioned again: "Do some of those Seinfeld things, you know, BOW DA BOW BOW CHICKA BEEEOOOOOOOW!" My normal response is, "No need, you've already done a fine job of recreating it yourself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLoy Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I hate it when the band is on a break, and the drunk wedding guests take it as their cue to jump onstage and start playing the drumset and hitting the cymbals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Reed Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Besides the supermodel thing (happens ALL the time), the worst would have to be when I let a bassplayer use my rig one time, then if we play again he/she assuems they can use it again and dosent even bring thiers! Then ask, "Uh, can I use your rig?" Im gonna start saying no, go get yours. Reed http://www.amkickstand.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Gollihur Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Why do people on the floor have to dance within 1/4" of the bandstand, bumping into mic stands (ouch!) and equipment and bouncing off speaker cabinets-- even when the rest of the dance floor is totally empty????????? I've had a speaker column knocked over and one of my basses kicked over when someone stepped on the stand (a good Hamilton) and busted it. I very much wanted to kill him, and IMHO it would have been justifiable homicide.

BenLoy Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I witnessed a dancer accidentally kick the end of the trombone player's slide, causing the mouthpiece to slam back into his teeth with brutal force. Man, was he angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
