The Most Interesting Man in the World Plays Bass

SteveHeissner · #1 08-19-2011, 07:53 AM

Last weekend our band played at a local nightclub. When we finished our first set I noticed the most interesting man in the world sitting at a table. He was sipping a DosEquis and was surrounded by beautiful women. He motioned me over to his table, offered me a DosEquis, introduced me to his friends, and asked if he could sit in with the band for 2 or 3 songs during the next set. I said “sure, why not?” Well, he got up there and put me to shame. He was one of the most competent bass players I’ve ever heard. When he finished he handed me my bass and I said, “Wow, that was amazing. How long have you been a bass player?” He glanced at his watch and replied “about 8 minutes”.

Obvious photoshop.

He plays a 4 string.

Yeah, he showed up out of nowhere when I was playing my bass by the campfire back in May. I never figured where he finds all those girls out in the woods like that.

OK. Fill me in please. I'm out of this loop. Not getting it.

Wait a minute, do you mean that that guy was actually at your gig?

OK. Googled and got it.

Thanks, I always enjoy a good laugh in the morning.

I enjoyed the entire post, but your last line was genius!

Thanks for the laugh.

I love the line in one of those commercials that says, "... his mother has a tatoo with his name on it."

I bet Victor Wooten tries to emulate his slap technique.

8 minutes! I love it!

Everyone knows he's more of a P bass guy, though

He doesn't always play music, but when he does, he plays bass.

Basses have a week dedicated to him.

If a piece was in the key of G Major and he played it in F# minor, you'd use it as the theme song of your life.

He KNOWS which equipment is best for metal.

No surprise here. After all, he lives vicariously...through himself.

I was at a bowling alley and he showed up and bowled a perfect 300.

Oh yeah....he was throwing the ball overhand.

Stay thirsty, my friends...

I used to kinda like DosEquis but this series of commercials has driven me away from ever ordering one again.
I totally get their bizarre sense humor but that old dude just freaks me out.

No way!!! The commercials are brilliant. And how can you dis "The most interesting man in the world"???

TolerancEJ · #17 08-19-2011, 01:39 PM

Wow! Stay thirsty, my friends. lol

Actually, I always suspected he would be a type of guy to start a bar fight and then slip out the back door during the chaos.

NEVER! The most interesting man in the world just has to look at his opponent and he'd back down. He doesn't need to fight. Then his opponent would see his point of view, appologize and buy him a beer.

Oh dear. Do I sense a Most Interesting Guy in the World vs Chuck Norris match-up? With the Mothman as the special guest referree.

MatticusMania · #20 08-19-2011, 02:05 PM

The most interesting man in the world showed up at one of my gigs, and, as one would expect... my wife was all over him. Its alright though, he bought my band a round.
