A bass player friend of mine, Rick, was relating how one on of his gigs, the band leader, Gary the guitar player (who thinks that he is the stuff) told Rick not to worry about the chords; Gary will just shout them out to him – kind of a low-rent jam band thing, in my opinion.
In another band, a younger drummer was told to pay attention to the bass player (by the bass player) who was trying to tell this young drummer, Eddie, what to play by using nonverbal communication – body language during the entire song! The bass player simply looked retarded by trying to “dictate” what this drummer was doing!
Is this going on anywhere else and why is it that idiots with guitars strapped around their torso take on a whole new meaning of arrogance as they play? Who says that they are right about anything!
