When the people that arrange shows assume that it is perfectly reasonable for six bands to set up their gear and soundcheck in one hour and later gets pissed of when their plans fall apart.

Bass Player Pet Peeves
- Thread starter The Owl
- Start date
Drummers who try to over-fill at the end of a phrase and miss the downbeat starting the next phrase throwing the rhythm off by just a fraction.
1. Drummers that forget drum sticks,
2. Guitarists that refuse to play if they dont have their little pleckies.....
3. People who think that Foster Lager is the best Australian beer!!

No, Foster's is not the best Australian beer. That'd be rather like someone saying that Lone Star is the best beer in Texas. It ain't. Lone Star is the cow piss we sell to tourists 'cause they like the name.
LOL!

Yep! I can nearly see the brewery from my house!!Once had a job as product tester for a new line about 15 years ago......didnt enhance my playing much.
Show-boat guitarists who play extended leads, especially when the dance floor has already emptied and nobody else is interested in pursuing a long jam, while it sounds like a cat dying or sh**ing itself to death.
this has probably been written in here already but i dont want to read 12 pages to check.
but i hate bass players who only talk about victor wooten and jaco pastorius. also those who are constantly noodling with songs by those two, and always are making sure you heard them.
some kid told me about how he made a fretless out of one of his basses, and he said "i did it cause you can't play jaco with out a fretless" to which i promptly responded "yep, you sure cant play jaco."
and along those lines, i dont like bass players that dont play bass, im tired of hearing these young kids who think they are the **** because they play way up high and always slap and tap. if you are going to be a bass player, get ready to be the guy supporting, grooving and if you get a solo, dont ruin it with a bad attempt at techniques you arent good at

Tourists come to Texas on purpose? Now I know you're joking...
musos who dont make the most of god given opportunities!
Went to the Kiss reunion show back in 1997. A local band had been given the support spot. 15000 plus people and what did the bass player do? Played with his back to the audience for the whole 45 minutes he was on stage!They were a crap band anyway and thankfully never heard of again.If you cant handle playing to large audience dont take the gig! Let someone else who can, enjoy the experience!!!
