OldGit Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Saw this on another forum about blues harps "One more on your 'never' list... 6. Never p155 off the band and leave the harps lying around whilst you step out of the rehearsal room." What's your tip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar South Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 A good prank is to tune a lead singers/rhythm guitarists guitar up by a semitone then everyone else play up by one semitone as well, and watch them try to hit the high notes.

Rich Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Paint the outside of the lead vocalist's mic bulb with that anti-nailbiting stuff. Take all of the innards out of the guitarist's amp head, and fill it with angry wasps instead. [size=1]Actually, that last one may be a bit extreme. Or not, depending on your guitarist.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about 'mildy irritated' ? Only I'll have to separate them accord to the level of 'angst' displayed. Erm... superglue all the guitarist plectrums together.

Delberthot Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 everyone poop on the singer's mic- I mean air poop, not stool Open up the back of the guitarist's guitar and put blocks of wood in to stop the whammy from working and wait until the next solo. Everyone play a song in a different key to the person that you're trying to annoy. hide a piece of smelly cheese in the back of the guitarist's amp.

bassbloke Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I know someone that detuned their bassist's entire instrument by a semitone and didn't tell him. Worst thing is that I don't think he noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
