Have ya ever seen how small the notes appear with sheet music on an I-Pad.

Personally I think the band uses that to look at porn.

lol!!!

I never understood why people sight read live instead of just learning the songs

+1. If they’re like most bands they’re probably playing songs everyone’s heard at least 100 times.

 

[BlueTalon]

And yet you devoted enough time/attention/etc. to respond several times.

Interesting.

[Meghans Dad]

Lots of big names needed que cards...

 

[Kubicki Fan]

I'm more appalled by the lack of shoes.

It's a jam man!

Toejam ;-)

 

[Strung_Low]

I admit I'm guilty... but my cheat notes are off stage, I have a wide brim hat that casts a shadow over my eyes, and outdoors I wear sunglasses so no one knows I'm a cheating whore that's old enough to have short term memory problems....

As for bare feet... never... but I'm guilty of a different sin in those regards.....View attachment 4286955

BTW... I'm going to plug the hats... hopefully it's legal... There's a Swedish guy in a little town called Staples Minnesota that makes them for me... Barmah Hats.. Great guy... Fun to talk to... and they can make hats for guys with heads the size of a watermelon.

Sorry but I must concur the sinful essence not only of those shoes, but also thought of them being worn with the hat.

You try playing a gig barefoot while watching the ball game on a tablet sometime.

Does playing a boring casino gig while watching Claws on the bar TV count (I think I saw most of a season over the course of the gig)? I was wearing shoes...

What's that SM58 shaped object for?

Given that it's pointed roughly at his ear, I'd say it's merely for decorative purposes.

When I played on occasion for my very large church, my iPad was at a sensible level and I wore proper clothing including shoes at all times. But they stashed me way in the back in the dark, so none of it would have mattered anyway. Mostly in my life I've been told I'm better seen than heard, but this was the opposite... and I'm not a good bass player.

 

[bass.slinger]

I'm just happy that he has a gig.

No kidding - this Saturday will be my first gig in fifteen months.

 

[BoogieZK]

Netflix and chill.

Oh, don’t be silly, he’s wearing feet shoes, lol!

He must be! The new vibram potato soles!

 

[Unmost]

I will never understand blah blah blah

What the frak? People are different out there?

 

[D.A.R.K.]

All the kids are doing it.

 

[Rune Bivrin]

Nope... (and I had to look up porkies). He's actually affiliated with the Australian company, but I could be wrong about the swedish part... He might be Norwegian, but with a name like Juerg Siegrist who knows for sure.

Juerg Siegrist is definitely neither a Swedish, nor a Norwegian name. I'd probably put that in Switzerland (which is very different from Sweden), but any German language country is a fair guess.

 

[noahw1]

I guess he forgot his readers.

 

[cnltb]

He should have worn something on his feet.

 

[A Bass And Its Boy]

I'm more appalled by the lack of shoes.

I dunno, I tend to play without shoes—I even played CBGB barefoot back in the day…

 

[whero]

I'm guessing either (a) he's a short-sighted, late-notice sub who doesn't know all the songs and needs the music/chord charts to get through, or (b) his other boss scheduled a 9:00pm Zoom meeting.
