[AVID]

What do you play or who are you drawn to in band?

Others: Roady, Fan Club Starter, Groupies - Post your preference

[DemocratSinceBirth]

1. Accordian

NT

[asthmaticeog]

34. RED FLAG

If you were really a player, I think you'd have spelled it correctly.

Nyah, nyah! :P

[UTUSN]

2. What, No Woodwinds?

Oh. Still not used to post '60s usage of the words "band" and "concert".

I sometimes get laughs from the stray rednecks who attempt to talk up sports to me at a watering hole when I reply, "I don't know anything about sports: I was in the band."

[AVID]

3. We still need a singer

[Susang]

5. I'm right here

DU's own Shirley Manson wannabe.

Though in truth, my voice is closer to Deborah Harry's. ;-)

[AVID]

6. you'll do just fine nt

[flamingyouth]

4. What - no option for band wife?

:shrug:

[philosophie_en_rose]

7. I call the cowbell!

{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}{clank!}

[Radical Activist]

8. This band needs more cow bell!

[philosophie_en_rose]

11. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank.

Don't fear the reaper!

[Radical Activist]

14. That sketch annoyed me the first time I saw it

but after the second and third time I loved it! hehe :)

[Radical Activist]

9. I play acoustic guitar

I'm still learning but I'll join in.

[toddzilla]

10. why isn't it just "guitar"

never understood why people ask me if i'm a "lead" player or whatever.. it's so one-dimensional.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. I play many styles, I contain multitudes.

but I'm taking medication for that.

[VolcanoJen]

12. Oh, yea... BASS?!???

Harumph!!!

[rppper]

35. "oh yeah" player here.....

although i'm still just a neophyte........

bassists are the coolest people in the band...everyone knows it.....

hey, i can work mixing boards too.....

[Blue-Jay]

13. Sax, also guitar.

I'm not a bad singer either.

[Susang]

17. Back off buddy

That gig is mine! }(
<spoken like a true lead singer>

[Blue-Jay]

18. I don't remember YOU singing karaoke in the basement!

A true "lead singer" would've hogged the mic all night!

Plus, I prefer singing backup stuff.

[Susang]

20. A true lead singer

Would never stoop to sing karaoke, now would she? ;-)

[XNASA]

25. I think there may have been others reasons you weren't singing..

that night.

And besides, "I" sang......did I not???????

[Susang]

27. Is that what you called it <kidding>

As I recall you left early and did not say goodbye. :mad:

[XNASA]

32. Now, now....

My selection was not an easy one. How can one expect to come close to Bobby Vinton.

Michael and I both looked for you. We thought that maybe you were sleeping. Anything after midnight is late for me. I'm old.

[Susang]

33. Couldn't have looked too hard

I was downstairs behind the bar, making drinks for people. Forced servitude, even now. ;-)

Though I was exhausted, I came down with the stomach flu the next day. :-( Gave it to Michael, Tim and Kathy, too. 4 days of hell, but I lost another couple of pounds! :party: Since you spent so little time talking to me <guilt, guilt>, I'm sure you were unaffected.

I didn't sing, as the extreme second hand smoke had completely trashed my vocal cords. Also, they always demand I do the most difficult songs they have, and I just didn't feel like being their trained monkey that night. Sometimes, I girl just wants to get accidentally drunk in peace.

[Bertha Venation]

31. sure she would -- it's a great way to overcome stage fright

:)

[Wapsie B]

15. You need someone to deal with all the groupies.

Somebody's gotta do it.

:evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

16. Harmonica, Guitar, Mandolin, pennywhistle (kinda)

[tigereye]

38. that is cool!

you have to have small fingers for that. I always wanted to learn to play mandolin.

[ForrestGump]

19. Hmmm...I could try for one or two of these but I'd better stick to my

specialty: air guitar.

[GOPisEvil]

21. I'll sell t-shirts and cds.

:-)

[Beware the Beast Man]

23. Guitar, Loops, Programming

Here's my shameless plug:

EDIT: My latest track is burning up the Abstract Ambient charts! :eyes:

[VelmaD]

24. I need multiple answers...

I play keyboards and some percussion and I sing. But I'm always drawn to other drummers and bass players. :)

[southpaw]

26. Bass, damnit...

Everything elese is just window dressing.

[Squeech]

28. All of the above (almost)

Bass (oh yeah), keyboards, percussion up to and (rarely) including full kit, marimba, mandolin, trumpet, pennywhistle.

And a boatload of guitars.

And I sing. (At which point Tom Ridge raises the alert to orange.)

[phillybri]

29. I'll take lead guitar duties...

What you need???

[Bertha Venation]

30. since there are so many rhythm guitarists already, I'll be a backup singer

shoop shoop
shoop shoop
shoop shoop
shoop shoop

that's where it is!

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. I play whatever doesn't play me first.

I play guitar and bass acceptably, and I sing okay.

I play drums poorly, but am getting better.

I have also been known to try my hand at lap steel, accordion, keys, recorder, harmonica, bhodran, mandolin, and sitar -- all with varying degrees of ineptitude.

[tigereye]

39. lap steel way cool

I have wanted to play the bodhran. I have to take some lessons for that at my local Irish centre!

[asthmaticeog]

37. Guitar

Lead, if you have to call it something. It's more like just spastic hate-noise, though. None of that "heroic" Eddie Van Halen dive-bomber solo nonsense. That shit's for suckas.

Lots of drummers, I see. Nice to see that -- Cleveland's in a pretty serious drummer-drought right now, lots of guys drumming in multiple bands.

[tigereye]

40. I have mostly played drums in my bands

but also bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion, and have sung a bit of lead and back-=up. I can play a lot of things, just not amazingly well. No woodwinds though, don't have the embrochure. I can hang up posters too.

[mede8er]

41. 2 drum kits.......

Eight guitars, Korg synth, two amps.....ready to rock.....
