Yes, I know it's censored. I didn't censor it. I still think it's fucking funny. See? I can write fuck.

The drummer def. noticed the lack of sb playing with ½bar delay

[-] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It wasn't unplugged, but Sid Vicious used his bass as a bat against Brian Faltin in Texas.

I hope you showered shortly after. I hear it's contagious.

I have had the urge to count to 4 a lot lately... Oh no

Could be worse, they could have been into prog

I played trumpet in a ska band in the 00s. This one time, in a small bar, things got a little rowdy and a guy ran into my trumpet while I was playing it. Hurt like a motherfucker. I spit out blood and it loosened a tooth. The other fans saw me spit out blood and started kicking the shit out of the guy on the ground. Then one dude bought me a beer to wash the blood down

Good times.

Support local bands.

I was in a punk band when I was younger. We were mid set in a shitty bar. My amp started to spaz out. Like cutting in and out every few min. This old dude jumped on stage and kicked it really hard. Patted me on the back, handed me a shot, and jumped down (all mid song). Never had a problem with that amp again. Used it for years after. Old punk rocker magic. Nothing to laugh at.r

[-] ViperActual@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Got any videos from these days? Always down for ska

[-] tabularasa@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Sadly, no, they were up on our MySpace page. I can upload some music though. Give me some time

I've been seriously considering picking up a trumpet and starting a ska band with some of my other middle aged friends just for shits and giggles. Seems like a lot of fun.

I used to love big arena shows until I saw a famous band do a three night stand at a small bar/club style venue. After that, I started going to shows of bands/performers I hadn't heard of. Changing how I thought of shows, where before I thought of it as an event like going to see a theatre play, to thinking about them similarly to how I'd think of going to the movie theater made the whole live scene seem more accessible and more fun. I hope when my kids are older we can start going to more shows again.

I read an article that said being in a band is less appealing to kids these days and that being an influencer is more popular than wanting to be a Rockstar. I hope it's just "old man yells at clouds" because I feel like there is always room for more local acts. Support your neighbors, go dance!

I always buy merch as it's worth more than any amount a band earns from streaming. I wish more bands have shirts that aren't just black though. I'd estimate only a quarter of the artists I've seen have shirts of a different color.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Funny. Because I am a messy person, I tend to prefer black shirts and I hate it when a band only has white ones.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month ago

As a person with cats, I prefer anything but black because their hair is highly visible. But sometimes you gotta settle with what’s available.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

once my sister's (black) cat got into some black paint and left paw prints going up to the toilet then left some on the seat. He wanted the fresh water lol

They forgot to say spill beer on their amps

[-] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Don’t forget to yell out “Free Bird” you clever bastards.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

They wanted to leave room for creativity.

EAT THE KEYBOARDIST'S HAIR

[-] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 30 points 1 month ago

I used to sing in a post punk band. We had a drum machine. In the middle of one gig, the drum machine spazzed out and deleted all the internal memory, and started a 600bpm bossa nova loop. We played right through to the end.

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

i don't understand what that means but it sounds hype as fuck.

[-] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 12 points 1 month ago

For the drum machine, definitely! But we largely kept to our tempo or maybe double. It was a free gig and we were getting paid in beers. I think it was pretty funny for the audience too. Great night.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 month ago

Could you not write fuck so much please?

But seriously, support local in general.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

“Thanks a lot you shit-brained, fuck-faced, ball breaking, duck fucking pain in the ass.”

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

This is almost as good as an average curse youd say in hungarian or polish.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Could you not write fuck so much please?

[-] HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Used to play in bands. Still do but I used to too.

In the one I was in in high school, some drunk ass old man ran on stage, unplugged our guitarists guitar, got behind him and started pretending he was playing it and humping him. Supported us real good

[-] 0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck fucking fucking myself

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Support more obscure artists in general, doesn't have to be local. Bandcamp is great.

There was a horrible accident where the bus a band was in went over the side of a cliff. 4 musicians and 1 drummer died.

Sounds like a great night out!

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

fight the drummer?!

Dude. Everyone knows it’s FUCK the drummer! (They’re always the crazy one)

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Plus, drummer is always more fit than the rest cause of the effort required to play. Seems like a bad idea all around.
