So this band has been playing together for like 30 years...

Sign in to disble this ad
They're on one of the thousands of gigs they've played together over the years, playing one of their dozens of chart-topping hits they've played tens of thousands of times while the 60,000+ crowd sings along.

The guitarist is plucking out all the well-known riffs and he thinks to himself: "You know, maybe it's time to buy that second house in Malibu. The market is probably right and it might be a good investment..."

The drummer is keeping the pocket and he thinks to himself: "Man, I think it might be time to hang-up the road life. My daughter is about to go off to college... maybe it's time to slow down and savor the time I have left with my kids..."

The keyboardist is jamming away and he thinks to himself: "I wonder if I should get into film scoring... I think there could be some good money in that. Plus, I'm kind of tired of these tunes..."

Meanwhile, the bass player thinks to himself: "g... g... g... c..."

Yes, all bass players are mindless and are concerned only with playing their boring root notes.

Hey man, as a drummer, I'm loaded with just as many drummer jabs as bass jabs

For instance...

How do you know when the stage is level? When you see the drool coming out of both sides of the drummers mouth.

Welllllllll . . . the way I first heard this story was the same for the guitarist and keyboardist . . . but it was the bassist who was thinking of hanging-up the road life.

And the drummer was thinking to himself 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
