Sorry @Happy Jack

[Happy Jack]

I've got a wig ...

[Clarky]

... but are you "willing to dress up a little bit crazy and move around on stage to contribute to exciting performances"?

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

From the ad:

The band's image is that of a gang of individuals.

 

Yeah right—sounds like it!

[CJPJ]

Wow. They should get a drummer that can keep time whilst they are looking for a bassist.

[StickyDBRmf]

My hair is reliable.

A bit of tastefully applied autotune on the vocals wouldn't have gone amiss.

 

I did like the funny stuttery effect in the guitar solo though.

'Age 22-40'. My age will soon be 22+40.

 

I have long hair but like Happy Jack I don't usually wear it.

[Clarky]

I wonder if long, luxuriant back hair counts?

 

Note: for the avoidance of doubt, I would also fail on this count, thankfully

But but, look at his hair!!!! 

[Bunion]

Inspired by punk bands like the sex pistols who of course all sported long flowing locks as this picture clearly shows

I've got great hair but apparently  I have a bad attitude. I might apply just to be unreliable for my own amusement.

 

Ah crap, I see what they mean!

[Stub Mandrel]

The guitar sound is a killswitch.

Not a fan of their music, but the ad is honest and not patronising or too arsey.

 

The guitarist's hair looks a bit short to me. Would my ponytail be acceptable?

[fleabag]

Well, i can't sing , i ain't pretty, and my legs are thin. Nor can i keep time.

 

I'd be perfect for that horrible mess of a band

 

Oh, 'ang on.. Not much hair. Over 40. Dont move around around. No dress  sense.

 

Forget it

[Pinball]

Does nasal or a hairy back count?

Where do I apply?

Oh, I actually have an EMG killswitch fitted to a bass which I put in to fill a hole where the original preamp used one more pot than the EMG system with stacked pots that replaced it. I've not really experimented with it so I'll have to have a play.

[Rayman]

I was told after a gig in the 80s, “mate, you’d be a great singer if you had long hair”.

True story.

[Nicko]

The ironic thing is that if I'd heard the song on that video without having read this thread I wouldn't have thought that the band would have long hair.  The sound doesn't match the image at all.  Sounds more like American college punk from the 90s. It was bad enough that I didn't research their on line presence further though.

[Crusoe]

Ironically, the bass playing is probably the best thing in that video.

[40hz]

How contrived. The true spirit of Rock and Roll!

[Happy Jack]

Told my son about this. He said. "But Dad, you have a great heir".

Good job they're not employing people since the ad breaches UK law with regard to age discrimination....
