Let's spread some musical misinformation

For health/safety reasons, 300 watts is the absolute minimum sized amp any bassist should own. Lower wattage amps aren't able to fully convert the a/c voltage, leaving behind lots of free radicals. Free radicals have been proven to cause civil unrest and in extreme situations, insurrections. Plus, free radicals are very poor tippers.

Sure, they play themselves and then feel like a dang fool afterwards and regret it.


If you use 5 fuzz pedals at the same time you will travel in time

Baloney. It takes either four or six depending on body mass index. I know this because I time travellled on 4 fuzz pedals, but it was a little hard to contol because I forgot to allow for the weight of my bass and wireless unit.
Let me dig up the formula I used...

OI, I thought we'd already established this time travel thing to only work with multiple digital delays, 'cause the analog ones were too imprecise to land you in the correct time, period.


Besides, 6/8 is the same as 3/4 anyway.
 
The British rock band The Who actually wrote the first theme song for the TV show 'Batman'. Sadly, The Who version ended up not being used. The song became a hit later on and was known as 'Behind Blue Eyes'. Some of the original lyrics remained, as can be heard in the line: "No one knows what it's like, to be the Batman..."

Mick Jagger thought he would be all the rage, arriving at a 1960's party at the Playboy Mansion...with a brand new milking Cow! Mick became irate however, when Hugh Hefner took the animal for a ride. What Mick shouted became the immortal lyrics for a Rolling Stones number one hit:
"Hey....Hugh.....Get off of my Cow!"

That's so PuNk!

A double-stop is when you have more than one pregnant pause in a song – not to be confused with a double latte, which is when a song that was used to enhance the mood one night, two months later has made your girlfriend "late".

A double-cab setup is a type of pickup truck that can haul the entire band and their gear.

A double stack is ... fairly obvious.

I wanted to kiss her AND her sister. Yes, I wanted a Double Neck.

Ba doom tish!
 
Keith was busy setting explosives in the restroom and missed most of the discussion about what to name the band. Roger, John and Pete had decided on Sisyphus, in honour of the ancient Greek dude who was cursed to spend eternity pushing a rock up a hill only to watch it roll all the way down again i.e. Rock and Roll.

After the bomb went off, Keith was left partially deaf and misheard the name the others were telling him. He replied: "The Who?".
