Some band members fail to remain clear headed and focused turning themselves into disoriented egomaniacs thinking they ARE the band or they forget why we formed the band in the first place.

Plus, anyone ever got nasty little bumps down below from playing bass? God no.
My girlfriend, for sure. |

But, looking back, bands have given me more trouble.. always | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
