Let's spread some musical misinformation

Beware! Never ever play this bass-like thing. In fact it's an alien quantum collision transporter that zaps you straight to their guinea pig lab.

Are you kidding that is my favorite bass builder Paul Lairat I fell in love with it in Paris ( high jack over)

It took many years to discover but paleontologists have found that the T-rex roar was in Ebm pentatonic
no wonder he was so scary

Guitarist could solo just as well without the high B and E string

Yeah, that's the one, he runs the lab.

If you take the lyrics to American Pie and juggle them around in the right way it's actually the recipe for a pie. Apparently this is to be the basis of the next Dan Brown novel.

The name of Nirvana's breakthrough album "Nevermind" is so called because of a poor phone line. Kurt Cobain was trying to dictate the intended name ("Antidisestablishmentarianism" - a slightly satirical backwards nod towards the Sex Pistol's "God Save the Queen"'s anti-establishment vibe) but the person at the record company couldn't really hear so Cobain ultimately said "Nevermind" and the title stuck.

All the Beatles albums got their titles from Pat Boone.

Two not the same bass combo amps cannot be successfully slaved together without issues.

 

[GBassNorth]

Correct!
In fact the reason they are called combo amps is because the MUST be used in combination with other identical amps. Trying to use one by itself or with a dissimilar amp will almost always result in a phase cancellation effect.

All drummers are born tone deaf. This can be corrected with repeated exposure to cranked Les Pauls played through full Marshall rigs, and high octane mega-bass, over a period of no less than fifteen years duration, at which time they'll have become profoundly deaf and the tone deafness will be nullified.

They'll then believe they have perfect pitch, and absolutely everything will sound amazing to their ears. It's a miracle cure. As a consequence of this treatment, some ex-drummers, like Luke Pavarotti and Vic Caruso, have even gone on to become rich and famous opera megastars.

Results may vary. Consult your doctor if pain persists.

Indeed, it is just like leaving your acoustic guitar next to your hifi while it plays "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young on loop to improve its tone.

Also consult your doctor if your drummer sits erect for more the five hours.

Excellent point. And, it's worth mentioning here, that, if you do notice your drummer sitting erect for more than five hours, he or she may actually be a percussionist. We advise extreme caution under these circumstances because you never know what they'll start banging on next. Be alert. Your favorite pots and pans are not safe.

 

[zontar]

Percussion is not for smart people

It will even keep growing after he dies...

In the early 1970's Phil Collins loaned his lips to Mick Jagger for a glamor magazine photo shoot.

Mick liked them so much he refused to give them back.

It took Phil quite a few years of speech therapy to overcome a lack of lips. In fact the vocals on some of his early songs were quite hard to understand.

Abacab is an example of his early struggles with lipless speech. The actual title of the song (which is about life as a taxi driver) was supposed to be "Have a Cab" but after hearing the finished song his producer who felt sorry for Phil's handicap changed the title to something more in line with what it sounded like Phil was saying. The song title "Sussudio" was a similar situation except Phil was singing about being "susceptible" to falling in love.

Phil eventually overcame his affliction and just a couple of years ago Mick offered to give him back his lips which by now had been thoroughly used and abused for many years...

Phil's reply was, "No Thanks, there's no tellin where those things have been".

Replying to my own post. You should, of course, not leave your vocalist in the room at the same time, nor if you have a Dylan album on loop. Unless you are in a Neil Young or Bob Dylan cover band.

In order to be able to play heavy metal properly you'll have to drink at least 20 ounces of mercury a day.

In medieval times bass players were put to death for being witches. One anthropologist conjectures as many as 600,000 bass players lost their lives, because they were able to play on 4 strings what others needed 6 strings to accomplish.
