Members Brazilian04 Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Players that complain about YOUR volume while ignoring thier own. A guy that quits playing, starts packing his gear, IN THE MIDDLE OF A SONG!!!!I arrainged for the best musicians in town to start a band and on the first practice, this guy packs his {censored} and leaves just because the guy playing bass was singing some of the songs, that he wanted to sing, which was ALL the songs.{censored}ing STUPID!! Players that think you can get things done in a hour or less, the " I gotta go, my wife is _______" fill in the blank. Excellent players that can't stay in a band, watch out for these.

Members theflyingeyebal Posted September 2, 2005 Members Share Posted September 2, 2005 Originally posted by Cassius At first i just roughly played the root notes to the rhythm of the song Once the drummer mentioned the kick drum thing everything made sense... But thats what you get when you ask a guitarist to fill in on bass! There should really be a piece of paper that comes with each bass guitar with this mantra on it. Most likely one that needs signed before you get the bass home with you. Yes! There should be a piece of paper. It's not a difficult concept, but I'd wager 90% of younger people playing bass don't get it. They are all just wannabe guitar players who don't get what they are there for. It's so hard to find a great bassist (and drummer for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tin whistle Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 Bandmates that are bangin your wife behind your back and then your wife gets pregnant and she tells you its yours untill you find out several years later its not and that bandmate has long ago left town. The bandmate thats really a CIA operative and uses the oppurtunity of your band touring other countries to recruit spies. Then one day, during a break, you're driving around the country side with him and a black sedan pulls up behind you and starts shooting at you. You're captured and tortured. Although you're eventually freed, your bandmate isn't and you have to cancel the rest of the tour. Bandmates with flat feet. Bandmates whose wives are always bringing homecooked meals to rehearsal but they really can't cook and the food is unedible but you force it down to be polite. Bandmates who insist on having their dog around and the dog is always farting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GWS5987 Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 "The thing that drives me crazy is harmonica or sax players who play lead lines continuously through the whole song, interfering with or even covering up the vocals or guitar leads. Just shut up and wait yer turn already!" Man, that is dead ass on! Our little band has been together since 1991, and over those years we've had ...... 20 plus sax players and 50 plus harmonica players sit in for a song or two. Over 1/2 the sax players blow through everone and ALL, except one harmonica player blew through the whole song. One or two blues tunes max, then "Isn't he great folks" (now get yur ass of the stage) George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so hard to find a great bassist (and drummer for that matter). I hear this all the time from guitar players. "It's just a guitar with 4 strings, anybody can play it." Being a real bass player is a totally seperate skill. Very few can really do it well. Guitarists come and go, but if you can find a really great bass/drum section, hold on the them no matter what.

Members Jimi Ray Halen Posted September 16, 2005 Members Share Posted September 16, 2005 Guys who "noodle" between songs at practice - playing riffs that aren't in the band's set list. which means that they are - Guys who don't practice at home and don't come prepared to play. Guys who don't have a volume pedal or don't know how to use the volume knob on their guitar. People who tune out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Warheart Posted September 19, 2005 Members Share Posted September 19, 2005 -{censored}ing amateur drummers who don't recognize that it's their god damn job to keep the tempo... -Guys you talk to about a project band you want to start and they are all enthusiastic and motivated, but when you get together, all of a sudden all they want to play is stupid death metal covers. -{censored}ing amateur guitarists gone bassists, who have just learned to slap and think it sounds so awesome that they have to slap through every song (even though it's the previously mentioned death metal covers). Just thinking about my band makes me want to kill myself. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
