But you're from Canada; you can't like Jethro Tull.

You have to be British to like Jethro Tull!

You have to be a hobo to really EXPERIENCE Jethro Tull! And at one point I was! So, I'm exempt.

A very rich vagrant at that.

Girly Man Ian Anderson ..... NOT!

I've seen him and the boys no less than ten times and every time seems better than the last...the things he can do with that flute is amazing...and his theatrics are pretty cool too...

So I've been looking at getting in a band. There are plenty of bands in the area I live in looking for Bassists. So I contact one that looks like a pretty fun gig. Harder music than I generally play, but would be fun to give it a try. Here's the conversation I had with the band leader about instruments.

Him: So what kind of bass do you play?

Me: I have two, my main has been a Fender Jazz, but I just got another.

Him: Fenders aren't good for hard rock.

Me: Are you joking?

Him: What's the other one?

Me: Music Man Bongo.

Him: A what?

Me: Bongo....

Him: That doesn't sound like its good for hard rock either.

Me: John Myung of Dream Theater plays one.

Him: Who?

Me: Alright man, I don't really think this is a good match. Thank you for your time.


Completely ridiculous. I would expect that kind of attitude from some youngsters, but this guy was in his 30's like me. I was pretty floored and pissed about it at the time. I just laugh at it now.

AHAHAHA!!!!!! XD It's a good thing you didn't get the gig LOLEZ!

Jethro? That doesn't sound like hard rock. Is that a country group?

 

[omnimutant]

Well, I'm sure in his mind it was a legitimate question...He probably never "hears" the Bass in his Mix anyway, so really he was really just looking for a stage ornament. \m/

You think Fender would be the ideal ornament, though

They're even worse for metal

What a tool. Obviously HE'll never work in this town again...
