Billster Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 This seems to be coming up a lot. The classic stereotypes: Guitar and Keyboard players: Moody intellectuals (how's that for self-serving!) Bass players: quiet, reserved and easy going Drummers: absolute lunatics Singers: Egomaniacs who can't shut up. Think of the Who or Van Halen. Grains of truth there or not?

alanfc Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 well, in my 23 years of playing all the attributes above, of those I've played with, have been true in Oregon and LA Rivera + Fender Strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compact Diss Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I have a met a lot of guys who play guitar and are very egotistical. Very ignorant and generally walk around with a condescending attitude toward others. I have also met a lot of great guys who play guitar right here!

Some folks can superimpose "condescending" on top of any other personality traits. Takes all kinds. I just turn the page on that type. Buy my CD on CD Baby! Bill Hartzell - the website MySpace?!?!

Mudcat Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Exceptions to these rules are interesting: Neal Peart the intellectual drummer. Michael Anthony the crazy bassist. Elliot Easton - a favorite guitarist, but not known to be the sharpest tool in the shed. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big.
