Now how did THAT happen?

Alan Vorse · #1 11-12-2006, 05:17 PM

Played a gig last night with the covers rock band. We usually play 3 sets but another band opened (original band that sounded like Third Eye Blind/Matchbox 20 but less sucky).

I was checking out their set when this very attractive young woman I had never met before comes up behind me, wraps her arms around me and says "You're a much better bass player than that guy."

WHAAAAA!?!?!??!

First of all, I'm a bass player. Secondly, I've been told I look like a cross between Billy Corgan and Lurch from the Addam's Family (personally i think I look like a young Sid Haig). Third-ly, how did she know I was a good bass player?

Beautiful women rarely (not never) come up to me at shows. Honestly, I was so shocked , I didn't know what to sayexcept for "thanks." Besides, I had a wonderful fiancee waiting for me at home.

At least it was only her ams.

Happens to me all the time..........................Not!

Tell the truth now, was she really that attractive???

GrooveBass · #10 11-16-2006, 09:01 AM

Boy....I hate it when that happens..........NOT. Once a pair of pretty ladies came up to me and demanded that myself and the rest of my band come back to their house for some hottubbing. Me, being my stupid self and having a Gf also, told her that it wasn't gonna happen. Someone needs to slap me when I say stuff like that

. The moral of the story is....when chicks at gigs see how your fingers move, they want to see where else that might apply...

Ah, the magic of music.

I've actually had nice women sit on my lap while their boyfriend/husband sat next to me talking about the band. Musicians are "special" to some people and apparently the usual rules don't neccessarily apply.

Craziest moment: A couple months ago a nice looking woman came up to me while we were playing, danced with me a while, and then actually grabbed my tie and started sucking on it while I was trying to play bass. That definitely had an effect--it blew my mind. I swear I actually heard fizzing, crackling noises inside my skull.

My wife, bless her, tolerates most of this. It's all part of the job, right? And a man's got to earn a living.

Sorry, but...a woman sucking on anything even remotely connected to my husband...even a tie...crosses a line for me. Sure honey, dance around and act sexy and whatever. But don't touch my man, unless you want your wrists broken.

One year, on my birthday, I was at my husband's gig. There was this woman there, dancing real sexy and giving my honey the eye. I was cool with that. But then, she went up to him on break and rubbed herself all over him, asked him for an autographed drumstick, and then proceeded to give that drumstick a BJ for the rest of the show, right in front of the stage, looking at him the whole time. Every time my husband left the stage, she would go hang on him and rub on him.

My girlfriends had to literally hold me down to keep me from stomping a mudhole in the ho. My husband wasn't going to do anything with her, but he enjoyed the attention.

But man, I was ready to turn that woman into a greasy smear in the parking lot.

If some man treated me in a similar way at a gig, you can be *sure* that my husband would not tolerate it for an *instant*. So...why should I?

Cherie...Hates Gig Ho's

Fortunately, Sharon was not there for the first set. If she had, I'm sure there would have been fireworks. But, for the most part, she's been pretty tolerant over the years.

And neither would I.

Thats the first time I've heard anyone threatening to break wrists O_o

DeliriumTremens · #15 11-16-2006, 09:55 AM

I wish I had gig sluts at shows I play...

Stuggi · #16 11-16-2006, 10:25 AM

More gigsluts for the bassplayer.

TB could put that on a t-shirt.

I usually threaten to break thumbs, easier to get hold of. Sadly people stop trying to prove that it can't be done when their thumb reach a 45 degree angle.

Spoiled Grape · #17 11-16-2006, 11:43 AM

I try to make it very well known that I have a fiance, but some stupid girls just don't want to listen. It can really put a sour on the whole night when now I have to worry about whether or not my fiance is going to get in trouble by security for "breaking wrists."

Not that I dissaprove of her standing her ground, but I must admit sometimes it's easier when she isn't around. I'm not cheating, but it makes it much easier to focus on playing, as I don't a pay attention to the "groupies" until they start crossing the line. It's easier for me to say "No, I'm engaged" than it is to convince security that my fiance did not in fact break the groupies jaw, but rather just slipped and fell.

Ha reminds me of anthony kiedis' biography

after one of his gigs when they were just startin to get famous, this chick came with her boyfriend backstage. the bf begged anthony to screw her gf because its her dream.

i forgot if they did make out or not in the end

The definition of hell is this...

we ALWAYS have plenty of gigsluts. Often they are the bra-throwing, stage climbing semi-hot very tipsy kind too. But we have a rather elaborate show and can't really budget much in the way of roadies (other than a few friends who help for exactly this kind of thing) and so we literally don't have time to indulge - and it doesn't matter because we are all married anyway.

Still... fun as hell to play the rock star. Nothin wrong with that, people!
