Dave Vader Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1349878584' post='1831679'] Because i want to unwind, maybe grab something to eat, watch a bit of TV when i get in, not chat or be told its late and we should go to bed (to sleep, nothing else). Im not knocking her, just that i like to be left along when i get in, especially if ive been travelling for a few hours. [/quote] Hate to say it but +1 I love my wife, but I'd rather be on me own at that time. With cider, that I am not being told off for drinking.

Donnyboy Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah, I do quite a bit of " me " time when I get in - just to chillax, like. Worst is when " I've invited the girls over", and when you get in they're all pissed and noisy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 [quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1349882093' post='1831750'] Yeah, I do quite a bit of " me " time when I get in - just to chillax, like. Worst is when " I've invited the girls over", and when you get in they're all pissed and noisy!!!! [/quote] Oh yeah this +1. It takes me a good half hour after I get in and unload all the stuff just to wind down, really don't need to be plunged straight in to the bitter end of a girls drinking session! BTW, not wanting to be sexist, but what is it with groups of women, the volume goes up tenfold for each extra woman? If we could harness that power and put it in a box that would be the loudest rig on earth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E sharp Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Sort of a post gig , few days after . Working at an engineering firm at the time , and one of the lads came up and says - " eh Paul , you're in a band , aintcha ?" " Yeah , I play a bit " " Well I saw this really good band the other night (reels off band name) , I've seen them loads of times . You heard of them " " Yeah I have , cause I play in that band , you fcukin inbred " " No you don't " " Think I do " " No you don't " " If you say so twat " " Sorry mate , can't think how I've not seen you " We were only a 4 piece function band , with brightly coloured Zoot suits for the function gigs . Everyone had a different colour . I still can't believe the " no you don't " . Sums it all up . Even with a bright blue suit on , the bassist can still be ignored .

mcnach Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 [quote name='witterth' timestamp='1349799525' post='1830708'] Just after I'd finished playing on Saturday night a Bloke came up to me and said: "Oy! You!, whats the difference between playing The Bass Guitar and Pea Green Paint?" "I Dunno" I said. "Well", said he, "any F***er can Play The Bass Guitar" (True) [/quote] "well, can you?" is the reply that would be so tempting to give Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Had a guy once telling me how good we had been. He then followed it by saying that the first band had been better - better songs, musicians and stage presence - and we should be aiming for their level. As you can probably guess, we had played two sets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 haha, yes many a time our first set has been sh*t hot then the guitarist has had a pint or nine before the second set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelfin Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Finish gig (glam rock style clothes etc), guy says wow you were really cool. It's pretty hot so off comes the fright wig. Guy says "Oh no your just a fake" !!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybassplayer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 A few years ago a band I was in called SOUL7 played our first gig together and we had gone down very well. As we were packing away an old guy came up to me and said "well you weren't as bad as I thought you were going to be" !! Praise indeed !!

risingson Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Originals 'downer' - "Guys you were great, sounded a lot like The Feeling". 90% of all covers gigs and people who didn't read the form properly - "Let me just write you a cheque" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I was driving to a gig a few years ago and the other guys were talking about being approached by girls after gigs. I pointed out that, in 30 years of gigging with all sorts of bands, this had never happened to me in any way, shape or form. At the end of that same gig, there was this woman who had been taking photographs who approached the guitarist/singer/leader of the band and struck up a conversation in which she revealed that she played bass. After she had gone, he said to me 'Fcuk me, Rob, even the bass players don't want to talk to you'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengovier182 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 "A bit loud" "Yea have you seen the size of our amps, and our drummer!" Hot girl: "you're in the band right?" "Yes i am" Hot girl: "is you're drummer still abouts?" -_- "Do you do any....?" "No!" "C'mon its easy" "I'm sure it is, doesn't mean we know it" "How about any......?" "WE DONT F*****G KNOW IT!!!"

spinynorman Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) I never get to talk to anyone after a gig because I start taking the PA down straight away. This is because of one time when I didn't, the singer packed the amp in its bag with all the speakers and mics still attached by their leads, and was about to walk off with it when I screamed at him to stop.
