SJA Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) the guy who does the cartoon [url="http://www.conniptions.org/"]http://www.conniptions.org/[/url] , Wayne Myers, plays guitar, bass and keys in bands, and sings, so I guess he's seen it from nearly all levels...

charic Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thats actually flattering but i think youll find that the drummers top and were 2nd, as every other piece relies on the drummer directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The arrows don't mean "rely" they mean "look down on" which puts us in equal place with drummers, each having 4 kinds of musicians who look down on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 bah, didn't spot the arrow between drummer and bassist go both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markytbass Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Is a singer a musician? Anyone can sing, they might not know it but they can. I can sing and play bass, a mate of mine plays drums and sings so where does that put us on that chart. (Its my birthday humor me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allighatt0r Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I think if all this multi-tasking is taken into effect in this chart, it will quickly get a lot more confusing than it already is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ah well the pictures correct then but my view still stands correct singer looks down on everyone, but without everyone else you rele see how crap they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 What you really need is perceived hierarchies of importance. I have a friend who used to work for YouGov now runs his own similar company, and a survey he did for me found the following results. From a singer's point of view: 1) Singer 2) Groupies 3) Guitarist 4) Keyboard player 5) Audience 6) Everybody else From a guitarists' POV: 1) Guitarist 2) Bassist 3) Singer 4) Drummer 5) Everyone else From a bassist's POV: 1) Bassist 2) Drummer 3) Guitarist 4) Barman 5) Audience 6) Singer 7) Everyone else No drummer has yet learnt the meaning of the word "hierarchy", so this is where the survey ends.

The Funk Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 [quote name='tauzero' post='152377' date='Mar 6 2008, 01:55 PM']No drummer has yet learnt the meaning of the word "hierarchy", so this is where the survey ends.[/quote] That's so harsh but hilarious. Realistically though, in most bands it goes Singer, Guitarist, Drummer, Keyboard Player, Bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazm Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I think it depends on the quality of the musicians. Would anyone put Flea at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
