Fun with band members.

I'm 31. I've been playing since I was 15. I've been in several bands. I am a horrific prankster.

I was playing bass with a three piece, the guitarist was older. He always told us, "You can mess up on any song but you screw with the blues you're out."

So he brought in another guitar player after a while. This guy was pitiful and he pretty much watched me for the chord changes everytime we played. So I started playing stuff up and octave on walks and stuff. The old guy didn't care as long as it was in key. It was like guitar hero the old guy went and unplugged his amp after a couple of songs and told him to hit the road.

Another time I was with a metal band and we played a gig "opening" for a band that the drummers brother had started. They said they were metal but all of their songs were the equivalent of Cemetary Gates by Pantera. Slow and kind of mellow. So after the third consecutive song that our crowd couldn't mosh too. I grabbed our guitar player and started waltzing. Everyone laughed, and the other bands bass player flipped me off.
