there was this band on stage one night and they were really smoking. they've never sounded so good. No one's ever sounded this good. then they notice this suit sitting in the back, and realize he's an A&R rep from a major lable. the drummer thinks "sweet i'm gonna be so rich i can finally by all that gear i want." The guitarist thinks "this is gonna get me so laid." The singer thinks "i'm finally going to be able to support a designer drug habit." the bass player thinks I - IV - I - V7... etc.

How many radio jocks does it take to change a light bulb?

Two - one to change it, and the other to rave on and on thanking the first for the fabulous last three hours.

How come lead singers keep gettin g locked out of their apartments?

They can never find the key

------------

How many lead singers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

One. They hold the bulb and wait for the world to revolve around them.

How may lead guitarists to change a lightbulb?

One.

He simply holds the bulb and the rest of the world just revolves around him.

how do you get a bass (DB) to play in tune?...
Chop it up and turn it into a xylophone.

How do you know if the stage is level?...
the drool comes out of both sides of the drummers mouth.

This woman has a really nosey roommate that is always pestering her about her dates. The roommate notices the woman getting ready so she asks..."Where ya goin', whatcha doing, what's his name, what's he do...? The woman tells her to leave and she'll fill her in when she gets back.

The woman goes on her date. When she comes back she's questioned by her roommate. The woman say's "his name was Bob he was very nice. He's a Tuba player."
"How's he kiss?"
"those big flappy slabs of meat? It was grose!"

The next evening the same happens....
"His name was Agustus. He's a Trumpet player. All he did was talk about himself."
"How's he kiss?"
"Gross he was so tight and dry!"

the 3rd incident which has the punchline....
"His name was Trevor, he was ok. He plays the French Horn."
"How'd he kiss?"
"Oh, it was alright but I really loved the way he held me!"

I've heard that one quite a few times

"there was a tragedy last night, a bus full of clarinet players fell off a cliff and there were no survivors"
"Was that the tragedy?"
"No, there was an empty seat"

Q: What's the difference between a squirrel dead at the side of the road and a trombonist dead at the side of the road?

A: It's at least *possible* that the squirrel could have been on the way to play a gig.
