LOL, except the for beatboxing, thats me!!

But I have to say the person who is most entertain to watch gets the ladies (looks help too). My band has 3 regular members being me the drummer and guitarist. All in shape, relatively good looking and all sing at one point or another but I'm usually the one that is bouncing all around and really showing how much fun I'm having. Just got to make yourself noticed it all.

Im not in a band right now, but I was a while ago. It went like this.

Bass (me)-Im just f***ing cool

Drummer - Atheletic dude starting football linebacker

Guitarist - Not an attractive dude, could play very well though

Singer - Had a girlfriend and therefore not on the market

I played black/thrash metal we all got pretty close to the same amount of chicks.

Quality over quantity my dear boys....I don't get all the girls all the time being the bass man.But I do get the best girls some of the time. Even if the guitar player is parting the poonany like Moses parted the red sea.
I eventually end up with the quality hottie.....So bide your time my low end love slingers and you too will be in a long distance relationship with some 20 year old hottie body karate from S.Dakota that eventually moves in with you,uses you for your connections to get further ahead in life and then takes a big hot steaming s**t right were your heart used to be...lol..

So go my bass brothers. Go and and enjoy the spoils of war...Enjoy...

P.S.
You bess wear a jimmy hat son cause you never know what other qualities she has in her.

I figure the stereotype goes like this:

The singer gets the creepy stalker girls who think they know him on some deep level.

The guitarist gets the slutty girls. (Well, guitarists are stereotyped as stage wh*r*s)

The drummer gets the hottest girls (most hot girls I know are *really* into drummers)

The bassist gets the smart girls. (Well, I use the joke as the bassist gets no girls because the bassist is either a girl herself, or is too busy hustling gigs, managing difficult musician personalities, learning every instrument in the band, singing, and covering other musicians who don't show up, don't know the tunes, can't read music, and don't care if they're late.)

No metal bands get girls i'm just saying black metal is in a whole different scenario. I don't think this
will attract the opposite sex much.

LOL Immortal, yeah I see your point, but I did a blend of melodic black metal and thrash (think Slayer meets Dimmu Borgir or Cradle of Filth) Chicks like the symphonic elements like the violin.

+1. This was the order for two of my bands. In one band the order was Bassist (me), Drummer. The guitarist/singer was married and his wife was almost always at the gigs, so, he wasn't getting girls--at least not that I noticed.

when I was in my school band we all got no attention but a few days after we did this awards evening gig i was talking with my drummer and lead guitarist, this girl walks up to us and i jokingly say "sorry band members only" she looks at our drummer and says "you're not in the band".
we just burst out laughing at him

It depends on how much you rock! The singer usually starts out with a head start because he's got the mic, the rest is up to how much you can rock and whether chicks dig it.
