Yes, I know it’s censored. I didn’t censor it. I still think it’s fucking funny. See? I can write fuck.

    I played trumpet in a ska band in the 00s. This one time, in a small bar, things got a little rowdy and a guy ran into my trumpet while I was playing it. Hurt like a motherfucker. I spit out blood and it loosened a tooth. The other fans saw me spit out blood and started kicking the shit out of the guy on the ground. Then one dude bought me a beer to wash the blood down

    Good times.

    Support local bands.

      I was in a punk band when I was younger. We were mid set in a shitty bar. My amp started to spaz out. Like cutting in and out every few min. This old dude jumped on stage and kicked it really hard. Patted me on the back, handed me a shot, and jumped down (all mid song). Never had a problem with that amp again. Used it for years after. Old punk rocker magic. Nothing to laugh at.r

      I’ve been seriously considering picking up a trumpet and starting a ska band with some of my other middle aged friends just for shits and giggles. Seems like a lot of fun.

    I always buy merch as it’s worth more than any amount a band earns from streaming. I wish more bands have shirts that aren’t just black though. I’d estimate only a quarter of the artists I’ve seen have shirts of a different color.

      Funny. Because I am a messy person, I tend to prefer black shirts and I hate it when a band only has white ones.

        As a person with cats, I prefer anything but black because their hair is highly visible. But sometimes you gotta settle with what’s available.

            once my sister’s (black) cat got into some black paint and left paw prints going up to the toilet then left some on the seat. He wanted the fresh water lol

        Yeah, white would really be the wrong alternative.

        Depending on the complexity of the details, gimmie reds, blues, orange or pink…

    There was a horrible accident where the bus a band was in went over the side of a cliff. 4 musicians and 1 drummer died.

      Hey. You be nice to drummers. And remember that if you air drum to Def Leppard and you use both arms, you’re an asshole.

    I used to love big arena shows until I saw a famous band do a three night stand at a small bar/club style venue. After that, I started going to shows of bands/performers I hadn’t heard of. Changing how I thought of shows, where before I thought of it as an event like going to see a theatre play, to thinking about them similarly to how I’d think of going to the movie theater made the whole live scene seem more accessible and more fun. I hope when my kids are older we can start going to more shows again.

    I read an article that said being in a band is less appealing to kids these days and that being an influencer is more popular than wanting to be a Rockstar. I hope it’s just “old man yells at clouds” because I feel like there is always room for more local acts. Support your neighbors, go dance!

    Suspicious contempt for the rhythm section here.

    You have just said “I like GG Alin.” and called it a day.
