So, we're a Classic Rock band....

That might be O.K.
IF
you were a CHICK.
AND
if you looked like
THESE fine specimens.

HOWEVER
here on EARTH...
Not Recommended.

Well, I DO have long, luscious blond hair... But I'm not sure that helps considering... Everything else.

I will concede That IS a start BUT,
that's about all I am gonna say about that right there.

I'm such a white guy I can't dance to a song unless it has at least 37 bars of 6/2 guitar solo in no less than three scalar modes.

But then, boy howdy can I groove.

I've pretty much had one rule that's gotten me through life so far.

If You're White, and Your Name Isn't John Travolta, Stay Off the Dance Floor.

If only more people would read and heed.

This is now my favorite dance video of ALL time. Amazes how those ladies can move like that in such high heals and not break an ankle.

I actually don't like it at all. It just sort of sits there. I had never heard it before, and I may never listen again. Boring song, for my money.

Personally, I hate jazz. That's right, I said it. I hate jazz, especially this wimpy easy listening LA studio jazz. Seriously, I'd rather listen to Yoko Ono wail like a banshee than subject myself to this limp wristed wanking.

Ok, maybe I like a little Miles Davis from mid 69 to mid 70, but that is about it.

 

[smogg]

OK back on topic....
Either fire him or rage quit. That IS the answer.

 

[cchorney]

... that plays Mustang Sally and Brown Eyed Girl and has a guy who dresses up in an Elvis suit and does a mini tribute to open our 2nd sets, so we're kicking song ideas around and the lead guitarist suggests Room 335 by Larry Carlton

Thanks Dev!

Well, it would certainly surprise the crowd... as they filed out to another venue, or the bar.

Agreed.

The band is a Rat rod, and he (the guitarist) clearly wants to be riding in a shiny new BMW.

 

[squidtastic]

I never play Mustang I actually walked out of an already lame party 2 weeks ago when the karaoke dj starting singing Mustang Sally. I just can't stomach that song in any capacity. I guess if you are over 45, that song strikes some type of sentimental chord.

It's certainly not a function of age. I just turned 50, and I couldn't care less about that song. None of the musicians/bands I know care about that song. I'm somewhat baffled by how often I see it referred to on this site. Maybe it's a regional thing.

I believe you will find,
most of US that speak of that song, do NOT
speak in terms of accolade, but rather disgust.
as a rule WE hate that damn song,
same with Brown eyed girl.

BUT, we play the damn thing,
NOT
for OUR personal enjoyment,
but because the audience likes it.

THE audience is our customer, and it is in
GOOD FORM to give the CUSTOMER what
THEY want.

 

[RobBottom69]

Ohhhh, I like that, Rat Rod!

It's not I listen to Mustang Sally at all. Once I had my part that was it. I like it when the drummer is out front and getting the ladies to sing the ride sally ride parts. MILFs love that. And if the MILFs love it, I love it.

On a similiar note, we're doing a wedding on the first and we had some special requests. Somehow I am going to pull of Your Everything by Keith Urban. Funny, no special requests for Larry Carlton or jazz though. Probably perplexes the guitarist

And the groom is going to dance with his mom while we play Simple Man

No Lester Young, no Coleman Hawkins, no Lady Day, no jazz. It pretty much died when they did.

Most of it's been said but some thoughts

This guy is playing guitar in a classic rock band and wants to play insipid jazz funk? Is he simple? Next up I listened to the video and had to listen long and hard whilst looking at the fretboard. I honestly thought it was one of those joke videos where somebody re-records it with wrong notes and tasteless crap playing.
That is basically a crime against the Fender Stratocaster and I will never get that time back.

Next up, refusing to rehearse in a band because they wont let you play this atrocity? This a gig or a hobby?
