Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Depends if you are wearing your pimp suit and gator shoes on that sunday morning.
poopie, I'm getting bald, can't stand a beard for more than a month and a half, my amp aint that big...
Oh dear
Yeah Ron, I remember you mentioning that before - I think it's hilarious. The music speaks for itself, who cares what you dudes look like.
I usually wear a collared shirt for shows, only occasionally a band shirt. Just because I play sludgy music doesn't mean that I have to look like a basement dweller slob or stereotypical metal dude.
At one my previous band's shows our lovely singer/guitarist had a few too many drinks and made a comment about the band that was playing after us. They had some short-haired, normal looking dudes and he made some crack about guys with short hair, how they shouldn't be playing metal, they're not true metal fans, blah blah blah.
After he said that he realized that his drummer and bassist both have short hair and don't dress like typical metal dudes. He realized what he was saying and tried to pass it off as a joke, even if it was a joke it was a pretty shaging poopy thing to say.
So after that I made it a point to wear my western-style collared shirts at every show just to spite the guy. Real healthy dynamic going on there...

You ain't Metal unless you look like a gal from behind LOL
Haha, right!
Thing is both the drummer and I are balding - the band wouldn't look so cool with a couple of skullets on stage.
I'd be lying if I said I don't care about my stage image at least a little. I wouldnt have built an all matching wall of peavey if I didnt. When it comes to other people and bands, I'm a honey badger.
When it comes to onstage antics, VEGA there is none just riffs, but for Galactica Hatchet we want to try out the whole ritualistic thing with candles and incense and all that jazz. Whether that makes it to the stage when we start gigging, who knows, if it's to much of a hassle then probably not.

Careful with those candles don't forget the Great White Fire....
Skullets rule!
Skullets runnin' wild on you!
Middle-aged up front and party in the back!!!
Wow so my friend is a neuroscientist phd student and he just called me to say the lab had been broken into and the detectives were there and completely baffled, so they let him in to look at what happened.
He goes in and there's diarrhea everywhere and a botch attempt to clean some of it. He said he had no clue and everything's accounted for then left already knowing the culprit. Apparently one really crappy student known as "snake in the grass" started drinking and showing up to the lab and recently caught a stomach bug or developed IBS. Anyways he drunkenly did some dissections and pissed out his ass all over the lab then ran away... So he's texting him now to confront him, and tell him go clean it.

This arrived today and these tickets purchased! $40 my friend who showed me the festival can't afford the $20 so I bought her ticket, and got several other friends coming. Edibles will need to be made.

That man might just find the cure for the cancer. If he can face the mega embarrassment of returning after this and having to clean and disinfect the lab.
+1. Intrigued by the bass applications. I have a Plimsoul that I love on guitar, but I want something lower gained for bass.
