Sign in to disble this ad
It's been done and asked before (by me i think), but i once saw an outline of all the stereotypes for band members. but if no one can remember, how bout we start fresh?
so what are the stereotpes of band members? oh, make it rock bands, so ot narrows it down a bit, ok. so are all drummers stupid? are all singers up themselves; guitarists brooding?

Guitarists are egomaniacs.
Bassists are (fat) potheads in the back
Drummers are insane freaks with hair that covers their entire face while they relentlessly pummel the drums.

In every interview I see the only people who talk are the guitarist and the singer then the bassist will add one comment in and the drummer will hide his face from view in the back.
Crazy drummers

me-bass player/lead singer- i am really crazy onstage and people tell me that i have a wonderful ability to piss people off
lead guitar/backup vocals- he's my best friend, hes really shy though, and doesnt have much self esteem
2nd guitar- he is a natural born talent but he wont admit it cause hes really humble and kinda shy
drummer- he is the most conservative nerdy guy i know, he has a 4.0 gpa, and hes always dressed to kill

They had been doing interviews, and I managed to get one of this little passes to get me there, I was looking through the windows, and to me SHOCK I saw my heros. Billie Joe, Mike and Tre 
It was hirlarious!!!
"So, how would you compare yourselves to other punk/rock bands? Such as Blink 182"
"bahahaha MUCH better." - BJ
"We're too smart for people such as them.. " - Mike
"Blink..18..Who?" - Tre
Later on..
"What will you be doing now? For the next view weeks or so?"
"Well, I'm feeling kinda hungy.." - Tre.
"AHH FRESH MEET!" OMG. Tre jumped the camera guy and start to bite his leg!
So everyone tries not to laugh and continue. At the end of the interview, Tre gets up, "Mm tastes like chicken!!" |

i'm doing research for an assignment on "how to make your own rock band" (a kind of D.I.Y)
so i need some great, solid stereotypes for band members
i guess there's the standard, singer, bassist, guitarist (maybe a second rhythm one too), drummer and perhaps a keyboard player (i really don't know if they're easy to categorise?)
much appreciation to those who can bring in the good stuff

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: san jose, CA | | | this is the way i've heard it:
guitarist: egomaniac, thinks he's better than everyone else, loud and obnoxious.
singer (who doesnt play instrument): more egotistical than the guitarist, does everything with his head up his ass. stereotypical "rock star" personality.
drummer: womanizer, quiet and reserved normally, but crazy during performances.
bassist: laid back, usually fat and stoned
keyboard: shy, less talented (i hear so many jokes about bad keyboard players. it seems every other person thinks they can play the piano.)
dont take my word for it though

HAs anyone seen the video to "Hit or Miss"
I'd say thats pretty cool. They all wake up late for a gig. The singer spends the whole time in the bathrroom fixing his hiar etc. The rythme guitarist is fixing a flat tyre oon their van. The Bassist is trying to get some candy from a vending machine, the drummer gets pulled into a Prostitudes room
And te lead guitarist is telling the rythme how it should be done |

Most bands...
Lead Vocals- Most attention from fans... thinks he/she is the most important part of the band, Popular, Good Looking
Guitar- Energertic... gets girls/ guys... Feels his/her part is necessary in the band, very good looking, Popular
Bass- Laid back, shy, not very known, sometimes stoned for long periods of a time... not much attention
Drums- Hyper active, Usually late always (especially when drumming), Gets girls/guys easily, Long hair.. Good looking.. but gets girls/guys because he/shes in a band.
Thats my sterotype of band members.. but heres how my band is..
My Band...
Lead Vocals/2nd Guitar- Good Looking, Wants to be the leader and everything must go her way.. Cant really have fun.. everything must be perfect..
Lead Guitar- Stuck up and thinks hes the best guitarist that ever lived... OK looking..
Bassist (THATS ME!)- Must have a say in everything, Very energetic and makes it fun.. dosnt care for perfection.. jus wants to have fun..
Drummer- Shy, Not much say in anything, depressed, nice... Not that bad looking
Ummm yea!
