"The whole 90's, man...we just wanna stomp that out. That was an error, it was a mistake, you know, those clowns who didn't seem to care about music at all, you know what I mean? It was about them with their guitars, you know, making noise but not in any way as radical as great rock and roll bands do or as radical as the noise composers did...it was just a goofy mistake that we'd like to obliterate from consciousness."

I was offered to buy a single .55 Bass String after asking for the right strings for Drop A# (after they weren't carrying the strings I used).

Also getting told that I need a Baritone because I tuned to C#

i work at a music store, so...

"No, no, this is too similar to the marshall i already have... i need something.... more.... like different in... a bit more... you know what i mean?"

about a LP standard "no, i don't need a discount, you know, when i'm already buying a guitar like that... thanks very much though..."

after half an hour of assuring him we really can't give him more than 6% discount on that LP traditional "mhmm... i'll pay in cash, so you should be able to give me 2% better discount because it won't get subtracted by your bank like when i'd pay by a card"

etc etc etc etc

"You know if I strum it like this it sounds like a Gibson, andif I strum it like this it sounds like a Taylor, but if you stand to the left it sounds like a Martin. Amazing I know, I'll take $200 for it."

While watching a Jazz improv gig this guy I know leans over to me and asks if I'm enjoying it and follows it up with: "Because ya know, you can't really enjoy without understanding it. You need to study it like I do."

I read this thread title as:

stupid things musicians or singers say

I can't stand when someone in the band is taking a little bit of time getting a part down and a bitch ass singer starts saying shit like "I had my parts down...."

Fuck you, bitch. Fucking singers.
