I skipped the bar yesterday, tried training instead...

[240 is Back]

I'm not doing that again.  Blah.

What kind of loser "hangs out in a bar" at your age?

I dunno.  I never go to bars.  Point of the thread was to reverse the subject line of another thread going right now.

[Mars]

what else is he suppose to do?

He could always try getting to 240.

Well, if your best option for spending your down time is sitting in a smelly smoky bar abusing yourself with booze and hanging out with other drunk douchebags, you're either 20 years old or a complete loser.


And we know he's not 20 years old.

Gotcha... I didn't see the other thread.

This thread won't recover.

maybe he doesnt like loud music as in discotheques?

[G o a t b o y]

I was including discotheques in "bars".


The only legit reason for going to a bar-type place is to listen to live music if someone really talented is playing.  Other than that, it's pointless.

people are different. whats pointless for you might not be pointless for others.

hope this helps.

no it depends.

and even if something is pointless doesnt mean it's not worth doing.

I said "talented" musicians.

good recovery brah

[Mars]

wheres your record deal big guy?

[240 is Back]

I do have to play clubs, tiki bars, biker bars, you name it.  I'm not a fan.  Smoking is the worst.  I try to book places that have smoking outside, or at the very least good ventilation systems.

And I'm certainly not talented.  I'm just consistent.  have of success is just to show up when others don't.

There are always ten guys in the room who are more talented guitarists/bassists, who would love to be making 100 to 200 per night for a 3.5 hour set, who just can't get it together.

[Mars]

do you also ask for a bowl of blue m&m's Rob?

[Condor]

Well, if your best option for spending your down time is sitting in a smelly smoky bar abusing yourself with booze and hanging out with other drunk douchebags, you're either 20 years old or a complete loser.


And we know he's not 20 years old. 

Tell that to George Thorogood.

Damn fine way to spend your time, if you ask me.

[G o a t b o y]

When have I ever claimed to be a musician?  That doesn't mean I don't know the difference between talent and mediocrity.

nah, we don't get riders.  We are lucky if they have any backstage area at all.  Typically we haul the shit in about 30 minutes before we're supposed to start, set up, plug in, have a drink, and start playing.  we take long breaks, and we're out quick afterwards.  Ends upbeing about 5 hours per night.  Decent $ for playing guitar.  You get to meet a lot of skanky MILFs too, if you're into that kinda thing.  I tend to watch sports on the TVs there, practice my scales or techniques within the confines of whatever song I"m playing, watch some boobies, think about what I'm doing the next day, etc etc.

[Mars]

damn you must be living the life of a rockstar Rob. do these little shits ever throw their panties on stage?
