Riding down the road with our lead guitar player, I either made-up this joke or I heard it before and it leaked out of my memory bank.
Q. How many lead guitar players does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. None. Puh-lease...lead guitar players don't change lightbulbs. They leave all that basic stuff to the bass player.
I play bass in our band, Creole Stomp. This got a good chuckle from Robert, our lead guitarist.
Probably heard this one before. If you've never heard it before, tell 'em you stole it from me.

One to actually do it, and 7 sitting around discussing how Steve Vai would have done it. |

He just holds the bulb up in the air, and the whole world revolves around him.

How many bass players to change a lightbulb?
ans: 1...5...1...5...1...5
An up and coming band was doing the showcase of their career. Peeking out through the curtain they saw several record execs sitting in the audience.
Screw the setlist they decided, and launched right into the hit. before the first chorus the RCA dude gets up and approaches their manager contract in hand. Then the Sony rep. By the time the first guitar solos happens, Clive Davis's cronies jump into the fray and it's a sharkfest.
The guitar player is watching all this unfold and thinks to himself "new boutique amp, new pedalboard"
The keyboard player is already designing his home studio in his head.
The drummer is grinning from ear to ear and can smell the new set of DW's
The bass player is thinking: A....A...D....D....C#....A  |

It takes ten lead guitar players. One to do it, and nine to stand there and say "I could do that better." |

Going around town, it seemed like every guitar slinger wanted to be SRV. Some of 'em even dressed like Stevie Ray. The bumper-stickers say "Keep South Austin Weird"...well, that was pretty weird, yeah.

He'd just start another solo and steal someone elses (lime)light!

One, but he has to use his own light bulb, or he'll complain the whole time about the inferior light quality. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
