Let's spread some musical misinformation

[-Asdfgh-]

Horn Players are paid by the breath--which explains how some of them play...

It's why those MIDI breath controllers never really caught on. You can't expect a horn player to achieve that.

 

[Leigh Semmens]

That's because most horn players suck. If they learnt how to blow then it might work better...... oops, wrong thread, this should be in the sarcasm thread.

The child actor who played Pugsley in The Addams Family 90s movies went on to become a successful Meat Loaf tribute act.

See that's a good one, as I had to Google it to make sure it wasn't actually true.

Bad horn players are the only people who can suck and blow at the same time.*


* technically misinformation as politicians regardless of musical ability manage this feat regularly.

Flea actually hand made all sets of Flea signature strings until 1998. However, as the strings became more popular, he stopped making them himself and outsourced the work to GHS. Billy Sheehan still hand makes every set of his signature strings; Rotosound merely handles distribution for him.

Hellborg too - he made all three of the signature sets sold.

And he returned to music after finding that the market for his strings was only 3 sets.

 

[Leigh Semmens]

And all those three sets were sold to his grandmother to tie up her roses.

She bought them intending to give them to him for Xmas and his birthday with a spare set just in case. She found an alternate use when she found out that he does not actually use his signature strings; he prefers Light Slinkies.

Blues players who use yellow guitars end up getting nauseous & looking a little "green around the gills"
jazz musicians who do that just look silly
Country musicians who do that look corny.
Avante Garde musicians look Orange

Jazz musicians always never look silly.

Chicago was originally called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, but the band borrowed a Chicago Transport Authority band for gigs (handy as it could park anywhere and no one thought that there would be music gear inside) but outside Chicago people assumed that Chicago Transport Authority was the band name and it stuck, later shortened, of course. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch wasn't going to fit on the side of a van anyway.

The members of AC/DC are all really into memes. Their logo was inspired by the shirt from the "how do you do fellow kids" meme.

There are still be 97 sets of the original run left sitting in the back of a cupboard at Hellborg's house. The sets were sold to Hellborg's mother (she wanted to show support), Jonas Hellborg, and to Mrs. Trellis of North Wales who thought she was buying hellebores. She planted them, and now has a lovely string tree.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch of course is Welsh for Windy City Bus.

And you'd never want to be downwind of that bus!

Inflation has forced many bands to update the lyrics to their older hits. For example, Skynyrd are expensive as a bird now, and this bird you cannot afford.

 

[Chickenwheels]

A sudden and protracted dip in inflation ultimately inspired the name Windy City Bus (and it’s Celtic variations).
This may or may not have a connection to Chipotle and/or substance abuse in public car parks/motorways/etc.

Yes. The Eagles will be rebranding to The Chicken Hawks so that people can afford to come to gigs. It's just far enough away from. Chickenshack (now Sparrowcoup) to not attract legal issues.

A Flock of Seagulls is now A Solitary Seagull, but that's not anything to do with inflation, just band attrition.

Duran Duran is now 50% off as just Duran.

Spandau Ballet, though, has new sponsorship and the hit 'Gold' is now 'Bitcoin'.
