Best beer for practicing bass!

According to Kirk Hammett, if Lemmy offers you a Jack Daniels, he's popping the top off a fifth and handing you the bottle with no glass.

Yeah. I remember one band I was in. Individual serving size was considered a pint bottle when it came to Jack - although my boys preferred Wild Turkey even if I never much cared for bourbon. (I'm the single-malt type myself.)

And glasses? Glasses? We don't need no steenkin' glasses!

Those were the days. (Not.) :laugh:

It depends on what I'm playing at the time, if it's Tex- mex I drink Pacifico, if it's Nortena I drink Tecate, If it's country I drink Coors light, if it's Blues, Rock or Top 40 or anything else I drink Micros...:D

A nice cup of tea hits the spot ! The water has to come to a boil first ! Capture.GIF

Hey Mr. Daniels! Can Jack come out and play?

That's a line from our song on Old No. 7, although if you're buying the band shots, Wild Turkey please...
 
I had a friend come to visit the states from Frankfurt. All I had was St. Pauly Girl in my fridge. I handed him one and he laughed and just shook his head. I asked why and he said that German's would never allow or drink such a beer because it basically meant that a St. Pauly girl was a prostitute. Just some knowledge to share. Did I care? Nope, and drank on...

Well, it's always non-alcohol for me.
 
There's a MillerCoors plant not far from me, but I can't stand their stuff. I used to like it, before living abroad.
I was also put off of Miller & Coors by the attitude of the guys who work there. They're mostly knob heads.
Really? lol wow. I like miller. Its cheap and good for what it is! I just tried a heavy alcohol drink at a christmas party called a "Tom and Jerry". Its like alcoholic eggnog. Trust me. It is the nastiest ass thing I've ever tasted. Haven't tried mikes lemonade or hard cider yet, so i can't say much about those.

I used to go to a German Brew House in Chiang Mai, Thailand, of all places. They had some seriously strong brews, and good food too.
It was a great place to take a date to get her loosened up, a lot!

If you've been to Chiang Mai, then you know it's a great place to FIND a date who will loosen you up with a Thai massage !!
(just make sure 'she' doesn't have an Adam's Apple)
Via con dios, amigo !!
