alguit Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I've got three: Les Paul at a gig, "What an ear. Now I just need a head to go with it." Jimi: "Only cowboys stay in tune anyway." The actor/bassplayer in the film "Eddie and the Cruisers" responding to Eddie's statement that "I want to make something great." The bass player responds, "We ain't great. We're just some guys from Jersey." As a Jersey guy, I have uttered this in every band I've been in. No wonder they don't like me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoes Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 I don't know who had the avitar with the G.I. holding a mug that said "how about a nice warm cup of shut the fuck up" that was crude, mean spirited and absofuckinglutely hilarious. ooops sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud. We need a can here to toss change into every time we spit out foul language. I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 One of my professors (a clarinet player) was quite the purist. He said that saxophones had no place in ensemble music and they sounded like "pig farts in plastic pants". Never forgot that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Wing Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 From teaching the Motorcycle Safety Program, "Press left, go left. Press right, go right". Students look at you like you're crazy.
