OMG - I was THAT guy!

LOL ha ha ha ha! Dude that was you?
J/K Ive been there too!

 

HA! @ you!

 

don't fret about it ..... you're a bass player my man

you probably came off as an intelligent, articulate and suave drunkard

i mean, like, who WOULDN'T want to meet you??

 

Did you knock down a Sadowsky?

 

oOOOoHh! that one must hurt...

 

i cant believe it.

 

I'm that guy almost every time I go out. Seems like the thing to do. Get drunk.........go talk to band..........Hey, can someone drive me home?

 

what a dweeb

 

Now, did you want to make friends with the band, or did you want to "make friends" with the band?

 

I dont like musicians that much. Or maybe just people in general.

My favorite move is to buy the band a round of really cheap whiskey shots in the middle of their set and watch their expressions. If I like them.

 

Man, I hate you guys!

 

Did you go for the grand slam and ask to sit in?

 

Don't feel bad, I try to introduce myself to all the local bands when their playing out, and they do the same to me when I'm playing out. It's kinda like keep your friends close and your enemys closer. You never know when you might be playing a gig with these guys or get called to do a show with them, or need a band to open. I only do this with original bands though. Cover bands are like kareoke musicians to me, I'm sure I'll get flamed for saying that lol. I just have more respect for those who choose to write their own music rather than play whats on the radio 10 times a day. So everytime I see an original band regardless of weither thier good or not, I at least introduce myself, and compliment them on the show so they'll know someone was actually paying attention to them.

 

haha i mind doing this when there was a few guys playing in my local, it was just 2 guitarists so i introduced myself and said i play bass so the buy me a few drinks and ask me to join and i for some reason say yes...never seen them before and never saw them again. i gave the guy my number but i was munted so i probably gave him a wrong one

always the same, love being that guy but always hate him when he comes up to you

 

There's got to be a bad pun joke about Bass Ale in there somewhere.

 

And you are correct in that I will flame you. You could have just left it at that you like to sit in. No need to bash those that play any way they choose.

Funny because I have more respect for cover bands who have to put up with those comments, and can play so very well that they can produce any style, genre or tone, actually make some money whilst having fun, and can most likely play circles around the so-called "original" band that can't even play there own lines properly but uses the "original" moniker as an excuse for having no talent. Seen and known too many originals bands who fit that very description. If they do, on occassion, write something more than the mundane and mediocre, I have the utmost respect for them and applaud their success. They are truly one in a million.
