Members honeyiscool Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 I think I'm at like 70% as far as non-work friends go... and the rest hang around enough musicians and show up at enough {censored}ty local gigs to pretty much count. It's not that I judge people for being musicians, it's really more that I think it's a lot easier for musicians to understand each other, the need for space and time and lonerish attitudes that musicians have, ya know. The nice thing about your friends being musicians, too, is that one of my bandmates got married. So I brought my new Seagull to the afterparty and it got passed around like a blunt and we had a huge singalong party and the guitar was a huge hit and got lots of compliments.

Members billythegoat Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Probably a good 80%. 15% are either painters or photographers. The remaining 5% are the party goers and just generally good {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members photon9 Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Sadly, I don't have many friends that aren't present or former bandmates. I don't find this sad at all. A lot of my friends are musicians. Probably around 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AaronF Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Not many. I wish I had more musician friends. All the musicians I've played with have been hard to get along with on a personal level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mav64 Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 About 75% if you count friends from work (work for a music products company, everyone here plays something) about 50% if not counting work friends. But my work friends are some of my best true friends so I see no need not to count them. Therefore 75%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Special J Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 Most of them. 90% maybe. My life has more or less revolved around music since I was teenager, so it's not all that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
