The Great Rock Band of Life

[Jose Jones]

It is my contention that everyone can be categorised by the position they would hold in your classic rock band.

 

For example, I would like to consider myself a lead guitarist. I'm not enough of a cocky bastard to be a lead singer, but like to think I've got some skills. However when I was in a band I actually played the drums. I am a drummer with delusions - and thus I am summed up perfectly.

 

So what do you play, and why?

You can nominate other people, and forumites, as well. I.e. Kopite, despite his recent purchase of an electric guitar, is one of nature's bass players. A big bloke who watches a lot of porn.

I will never be muscially talented enough to be in a band, so roadie it is.

[RedKnight]

Bass because it sounds like a fish.

Heh heh. Dork.

Its a metaphor Karl, try again.

It's not about music though Karl, it's about personalities and shit.

I.e. Lead singers are egotistical bastards, lead guitarists are arty showmen, bass players are like the kids who choose to be a goalie solely because no-one else wants to so they can get in the football team, and drummers have big cocks.

Roadies are so stupid that they don't understand the question. So maybe you chose right.

Bass players are class.....they hold the whole show together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMzXtizKcXY

[Karl_b]

Balls to you all.

[The-Sir]

I guess I'm egotistical when it comes to music, I think that was the reason my old band split up (we were shite anyway - one of my problems with the band).

 

I just want the music to sound good, is that so hard to ask?

[Malarkey]

Singer, I'd get all the birds, me.

[Alan Sex]

Singer. Up front, cock out, doing my best to look like a chubby Iggy Pop. Or a chubby Elvis impersonator perhaps.

[Paul]

I'd be the producer.

[wiiksie]

I'd be the producer.

So you're effectively the bloke who puts the kettle on then Paul?

[wiiksie]

I reckon Im one of life's drummers.

 

Not arsed about being the glitzy showbiz frontman, or the jimi hendrix style creator, but without my input you'd have no riddim. I keep the whole enchilada moving smoothly.

 

Plus there's always drum solos...

[Unrighteous]

Singer.

[Stu Monty]

Singer, definitely. Probably not a balls-out, king of the world type singer but definitely the one who writes the tunes.

[Total Longo]

Guitarist, because i can.

[Section_31]

Good call Weeksie same for me I reckon.

Can't be arsed being at the front of the stage but without me, the whole motherfucking show falls apart.

 

I bring order to chaos but want and expect no credit!
