CamdenRob Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 True but it's easier than saying "sorry I can't be arsed to come to your gig as I'd rather sit at home in my pants watching celebrity big brother"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratman Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Like when you say 'we're on at 9' and they turn fashionably late and only catch the last three songs, and proceed stand at the back talking through then anyhow. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst things about having friends who are musicians is the expectation that you will go to their bloody gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The ones I'd love to go to are invariably miles away. The ones that I have no intention of going to are usually just down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameltoe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Slightly different to the thread subject, but I find its always fun being accosted by a fellow bass player at a gig, much as I love you all!! "You had a really good tone" = You're an average player. "I play bass..." = Please stand here and listen to me talk about my gear when you should really be helping to pack up. "Ah a P bass... I actually play a Jazz..." = I think I'm Jaco. 😊 Edited February 9, 2016 by cameltoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
