| | | | Contest: Top 3 drunk-idiot-at-party basslines
Sign in to disble this ad
I'm about to get back into bass after 21 years, and I was chatting and trading memories with an old friend recently about our high-school garage band. One thing that got us laughing was the fact that my old bass (a Yamaha) was like a magnet for idiots at parties - absolutely irresistible to anyone who had had more than 6 beers (and, as a rule, people who had never picked up a bass or a guitar in their life). We made a list of what we think are the top 3 drunk-idiot-at-party basslines. I think I'm going to win my own contest, but I'm prepared to admit defeat if anyone can beat this:
1. Smoke on the Water
2. Sunshine of your Love
3. Louie Louie (or Wild Thing, etc.) |

| | | | Another One Bites the Dust is a good one. Well done.
Seven Nation Army and Smells Like Teen Spirit will probably eventually replace Louie Louie. It's a different generation of drunk idiots, now. |

BTW, if stranger at a gig asks if he can have a go on my bass, I reply by asking if I can take his car for a spin, and explain that I don't know how to drive. Or if I'm feeling suicidal, ask if I can take his girlfriend for a spin (although I do know how to do that)

that's cool because I can't play them either, but still. Drunk people with instruments are always comedy gold.
