Musical Oxymoron

Pianoforte?

Piccolo bass?

 

Keytar

 

Ummm somewhat related...sing a band "live in concert."

 

Calling Youtube play-alongs "covers". I've never seen a cover band where they played along to the original recording.

 

Live Album

What do you feed it?

 

How about "solo". Most of the time you're not actually playing alone.

Calling an instrumental a "song". Doesn't "song" imply singing?

 

Can you call an equipment box a "flight case" if you never take it on an airplane?

 

humble lead singer

 

soft hard rock band

 

While your challenge of the terms may be correct, these are not oxymorons.

Nor is this.

 

I play a fretless precision bass.

That and dance club music with sad/angry lyrics.

 

square triangle. Musical triangle bent into the shape of a square.

 

A "vintage reissue" is a brand new bass.

"Baby Grand" pianos still weigh a ton and take up a good portion of a room.

A friend of mine bills his band as an "upbeat blues" band.

Some basses have "dark star" pickups.

In a band I played in for years, just before we played I would say Ready guys? and the drummer would say "Dead ready".

"The Greatful Dead"

Ashdown "Little Giant" amp

I'll think of more soon.

 

"Live DJ"

"Led Zeppelin"

"The Guess Who" - Everybody knows exactly who they are.

"Biggie Smalls"

"Vertical Horizons"

"Hip Hop Culture"

John Cougar song "Hurts so Good"

Band "Quiet Riot"
