What's worse when playing live?

[Matt300ZXT]

Well, time to be honest with ourselves. This is the hardest hitting question of the last 6 months.

Never not taken home a hot chick, wouldn't know

 

[shar-vell Dan]

After a fatty & a few beers nobody knows what yer playing anyway.

You forgot option D) taking home venereal disease and E)not having Dimarzios in your guitar

Well, I haven't played live in like 24 years so I don't have to worry about none of that. However, my guitars will NEVER not have DiMarzios in them, live or playing at home...except the guitars that came loaded with Dunans already and I don't want to spend piles of cash on new pickups.

Singing? Psh, none of us have enough talent to sing, are you crazy?

Yes.

Late 90's, cover band, insanely packed bar, I play Felder's first phrase in the counter-point solo in Life In The Fast Lane a half step down. The wrong notes filled the club like a fart in an elevator. Everybody on stage (including me) and every guitar player in the crowd instantly laugh their asses off. To this day, my old bandmates bring that moment up for a great chuckle.

So, give yourself to the flub club. It pays dividends years later.

I'm the opposite ..... a few fatties and a beer .....

That's why I like being a bassist. If I flub a note, the rest of the band sounds wrong, but I'm right. They all look at the guitarist.

Works every time.

Yeah, this is way more noticeable than flubbing a guitar part.

 

[skoora]

Flubbing/missing a guitar part has a lot of options
1. Do it twice..you meant that shit.
2. Keep Bending..you’ll get to something!!
3. Pick scrape
4. Power Slide
5. Trill the root with a hammer on.
6. Grab some feedback and fuck that vibrato, real hard
7. Jump real high
8. Strut as you do it with a, I’ma deep in it guitar face
9. Rhythmically shikka shikka
10. Shoot a dirty look at the bass player.

Honorary mention
Pretend there’s something wrong with your In Ears and tap your head like you’re hearing ATC.

That blame is purely on your guitar player. He should've just turned your amp down when you weren't looking.

Never stopped me but im in a punk-influenc3d rock band. Im supposed to sound "off"

My buddy, our bass player does that. He'll be completely out of key and looks at me like I did something wrong. He could be holding an actual broomstick and would tell me im out of tune.

Bend the string. You're never more than a half step away from the "Right" note.
