Let's spread some musical misinformation

You're back! Where in the *** have you been. Released early for good behavior?
I've missed you, bud.

Yeah, something like that, though I ain't too sure about how GOOD I
was.
How you been?
Keeping this place going?

Still trying to keep the mods awake.

Well,
Now that I'm back, THAT'S not gonna be a problem.

I don't get it, I just bought my first valve amp but I don't see anywhere to connect the hose!

To get a really smokin hot sound out of your tube amp simply slip an empty toilet paper tube over each vacuum tube! Not only will the insulated vacuum tubes sound better but you'll also get the benefit of a fog machine and pyrotechnics display as your amp warms up.

Fact: people living in the southern part of the United States use slightly different words than those in the northern half of the country. For instance up north a tube amp is called a valve amp, down south it's called a spigot amp. If you're ever in Georgia, Alabama or another Deep South state guitar store be sure to ask about their spigot amps, if you use the term valve amp there you'll sound like a fool.

The vacuum tubes in my amp suck, sometimes I wonder if they're even at a bar.

At one point his manager wanted him to change his name to Johnny Debitcard to keep up with the times.

They settled for Johnny Paycheck and the rest was history, until he told his manager to take this job and...you know.

Music is meant to be played..not read. Only read sheet music for something to do when you're waiting at the dentist or on the biffy.

Reading sheet music is a great cure for insomnia, hence the name.

Basses and amps sound really good when you're deep in the dark recesses of a mountain cave.

Next time you're going into a deep cave, take your bass, amp and a long extension cord to plug into a power source outside the cave and you'll know what I mean.

Plug the cord into a portable A/C generator that faces away from the cave mouth. Use 10 gauge extension wire because you're going a long ways in and a lighter gauge won't do.

If you start to lose power when you're 500ft into the cave, go back and switch to 8 gauge.

Well worth it for the sonic experience of knowing there's a place where a crappo bass/amp sounds awesome.

If it's a sandstone cave, do not use flats or there's a good chance of overhead rock breaking free and falling on you.

Flats got their name not from the shape of the string winding, but from the shape of the first people to play in a cave (with strings that weren't round wound) after the cave in.

Some say they are composing a song about their lives...
One for the booze,
Two for the dough,
Three for some pot,
Four let's go.

Beer was accidentally discovered by a German bass playing monk.
After having boiled his strings in holy water, he noticed the remaining liquid was drinkable.

That'd be some serious Monk Funk beer!
And obviously very highly addictive, hundreds of years later they wrote songs about that Funk Beer...

Lemmy's censorship would be a blessing.
