Judo Chop Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1335440665' post='1631099'] Covers band rehearsal last night, guitarist says "Wow - what's that you're playing?" I replied "Urm ... the bass line ... as per the record". "Oh. I've never heard that bit". So now it's an added feature of the track, with him doubling up... [/quote] What song was it?

the_skezz Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) 'We sound much better when we rehearse stoned' Probably because our minds were consequently all on other things ¬¬ Guitarist: 'Have you learned Headbutt by the Kind Blues?' Me: 'No, you didn't tell me to. Have you learnt Riot Squad by Cock Sparrer as you've been saying you would for the last month?' Him: 'Oh no, I'll learn it for next week. Headbutt's easy, just follow what I do. One two three four...' Edited April 26, 2012 by the_skezz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The singer in the covers band I play in is very charming and charismatic and gets away with saying stuff to audiences that would be toe-curlingly embarassing coming from anyone else. He's been crossing the line recently though...introducing a Gregory Isaacs song he's been saying 'this was written by Gregory Isaacs who died recently...started with waccy baccy, went on to the strong stuff...don't do drugs, people!' Which is disrespectful to the man, as if that was the most noteworthy thing about his life, and horribly patronising to an audience (I don't like being told not to do drugs by my GP, never mind someone I'm only interested in because they're entertaining me). Had to get that off my chest. If you're reading this, Ray, you have a great voice and I love you like a brother, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah thomas Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Dark, rainy night, no lights on at the flat where we rehearse. 40 minutes after rehearsal was supposed to have started, I receive this text: 'OK no practice tonight as I am tired. Thursday def. Come early.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the band want to put up each track in its entirety even though we had agreed all the previous stuff!!! [/quote] LOL. You have made the schoolboy error. Just because they didn't repy to your emails and looked at you nodding with open mouths while you explained it does not mean they agreed with you.
