Let's spread some musical misinformation

Lysergic acid diethylamide is available at convenience stores for your convenience, but be sure to stay away from the brown acid that is not government tested. In the experience of most people, your bass playing will improve exponentially without any further need to waste money on gear. If you don't believe this, go ask Alice the Cooper; I think he'll know.

Should you experience a bad trip, sue the airline.
And if you don't improve just take an anti-acid like Tums.

What became known as "Pirate" music began in the seventeenth century. Bass players and drummers were ostracized for being too loud and were threatened with certain torture on the arpeggiator. These "musicians", as they insisted on being called, were only allowed to play on cruise ships beyond the three mile limit. The pirate musicians eventually developed and flew the arpeggiated flag as an "up-yours" to the powers that be, which some cruise ships still fly today during special events.
 
The actor Tom Cruise started out as a singer on ocean liners. He and his band would perform dreadful covers of Def Leppard and Bon Jovi tracks. These ocean liners quickly became known as 'Cruise Liners' or 'Cruise Ships' and people would pay vast sums of money to come watch 'Tom Cruise and The Tone-Defs' perform their awful covers.

Fast forward to 2012 - Adam Shankman decides to make a musical film called 'Rock of Ages' based on a dreadful stage show. He has no idea who to cast so who does he call? Tom Cruise and The Tone-Defs of course. And the rest is history... awful, tragic history.

Until Marconi invented Pirate Radio so they could broadcast their music back to shore.
 
Pirate music? I know of the pirate diet where you wear a patch over one eye so, your eyes aren't bigger than your stomach, so to listen to pirate music, do you wear only one ear plug?
Related, when you play pirate music live, do you use one ear monitor, and pick the bass with the pointy part of the hook? :rolleyes::whistle:
 
A pirate will eat just about anything. The ones without a parrot on their shoulders have already eaten the one parrot that is allotted to every pirate.

You can tell whether a pirate wears an eye patch by just listening to him. If he says "Aye" instead of "Aye-aye" its because he has only one good aye and therefore wears an eye patch over the other aye. If he says neither "Aye" nor "Aye-aye" then he has no ayes and wears two eye patches, but this situation won't last long because a blind pirate is totally useless and his shipmates will make sure that he soon becomes fish food.

As far as playing with the hook, ask Capt. James Jamerson.

The question is: "How many Albert Halls are required to fill this black hole".

Oh, come on! Everybody knows that black holes do not have a "bottom end." Therefore, an infinite number of Albert Halls can be poured into a black hole. Every time that particular Beatles song is played, anywhere in the world, another Hall is thrown in, destined to fall forever. This motion is now known as the Hall Effect, and has been incorporated in some modern vehicles to help regulate pollution.
