Let's spread some musical misinformation

[Imaginary Pony]

Bassists can actually dance.

As can Dads. In fact, Dancing Dads make the best bassists.

The Canadian Air Force has adopted a new paint scheme for combat aircraft. It is intended to demonstrate to enemy aircraft that Canadians can do the seemingly impossible.

Good stuff. I've never figured out what band that guy on the tailpiece of Alaskan Airlines passenger jets is in.

A recent study by music economists at the Wharton school have shown that dancing bass players get paid twice as much. Twerking is a rare skill amongst bassists, so results were not statistically significant, but there was a trend showing that a twerking bass player could make 20 times that of a non-dancing bass player.

Singing bassists, however, won't make a fortune.

But, a bass player who can wear a kimono while simultaneously playing bass, singing, and playing keyboards with his feet will stir endless controversy amoungst bass players.

A recent survey answered by 100% of all bassists concluded that all bassists prefer keyboard bass to stringed bass in all music.

A recent survey answered by 100% of all bassists concluded that all bassists prefer keyboard bass to stringed bass in all music.

In a recent survey of drummers all the questionnaires were returned correctly completed.
In a recent survey of singers all the questionnaires were returned with a request that the questions be rewritten in B#.

In a recent survey of TB'ers, none of them could understand the questions so a thread was started by participants to discuss the questionnaire.

Thread locked at page 473 after 472 pages of Fender-P thread derail.

In a recent survey bassists were in full agreement in their wish that Geddy Lee would just stick to Root/Fifths on his thunderbird!

The term "pleading the 5th" refers to a bassist not wishing to self-incriminate themselves and demonstrate their lack of skills by playing anything other than root and fifth.

All darker forms of metal are written in the "devil's key", also known as F flat.

Or E# as it's known in Birmingham!

Geddy lee is actually quoted as saying all his songs start out as root/fifth till Alex gets his hands on them!

Alex doesn't play fifths. He just pounds the root while Geddy plays. Geddy also insists on 7/4 time despite Neil's desire to only play 4/4. Geddy is quite the bully.

His name is S. Keigh Moe. His friends call him Leroy. He is actually Gene Simmons' cousin. He's not in a real band, it's an air band.

In another poll it turns out that regardless of how many basses a TB'er has, they only own one strap.

You can check your vocal accuracy by putting a clip-on tuner on your nose when you sing.

Being a very rational bunch, TBers also have only 3 basses, a P with flats, a jazz with rounds, and a 5 string thunderbird. They will also never admit to owning a thunderbird.

Why only when you sing? I have a clip on tuner on my nose right now. Keep in mind that many need more than one clip on tuner; if they are used as earrings, they cure tone deafness.

Every TBer is so powerful they can shoulder a 5-string Thunderbird for more than one chorus!
