ROFL, at least the one guy at the keyboard was playing something intelligible.

This is my favorite video on the subject, I did not find this little gem but I feel like no thread on music stores is complete without it...

That's classic!

I love the "please get me the hell out of here" look he has on his face when the guitard is loudly butchering Hendrix.

That, and when he's snapping his fingers to the non-existent "beat" of what the keyboardist is bumbling through.

LMAO!

So, you sent us to a page with a bunch of embedded videos, and the videos have embedding disabled? Why not just link us to a video and we can watch the rest?

Is it bad that this does nothing to stop me from wanting to work at one (besides Music & Arts, that place sucks)?

The 3rd one had me cracking up good...if I wAsn't in the office I'd be lol right now...got stay quiet

I'm not dumb enough to be something I'm not, those kids who go in and think they can play something are just funny to me. I'm a student, if I pick up a bass to tinker with I'm gonna just fool with simple stuff, not try to show off and be stupid.
