I’ve Been In The Music Business For 30 Years, So I Made These 111 Comics Based On My Adventures

We Drink Leinenkugels Original Beer.

I have a trombone

It was the band contest in my HS and our dumbass principal couldn't believe that the drums had to be tuned, he thought the two drummers doing it were just "making noise". Thankfully we had a marvelous musical director that always stood for us.

Yes, indeed, it can happen, but not during the recording, if the engineer is a pro...

A very clever ideea! It's not a secret, many new albums are mixed to sound good on cell phones / earbuds, not on big and expensive stereo HiFi systems.

It's better than getting the drum set and when training always being told to stop being it's too loud. My drum set was basically for decoration and 4 years later when I got rid of them because my family would never let me train, everyone was shocked that "I threw away a Christmas present"!

Picks and fingers.

Or you have a list of about 20 names and none of them can score a majority vote.

Drummers are more important than you think! If I fail a guitar solo during a gig, very few in the audience will notice; if the drummer fails, all the band fails!

We do that to protect ourselves from the rest of the band ...

A guitarist can do this with the LP bridge or the Strat whammy bar.

Yes, of course! 1 drummer per 10000 guitarists!

Look out, look out, the Candyman Here he comes and he's gone again Pretty lady ain't got no friend Till the Candyman comes around again

Our guitarist had a twenty year old little mutt named Sam. Sam was adorable but deaf as a post. His favorite thing was to lay in the kick drum during practice and let the pounding vibrations lull him to sleep.

I got silence on my radio Let the air waves flow Let the air waves flow

Exposure... starvation... po-TAY-toe... po-TAH-toe...

Chorus is OK, but remember: "less is more"!

Been trying to find that for 20 years. The damn thing always shakes loose and never clamps right.

So true

The faster you can pick it, the better it sounds.

It would be so cool to have a sticker or two on my car, but ... yeah ... bags of drums on the back seat become much more obvious when advertised.

don't call me daughter.

She's so Heavy Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy

The best mike! Maybe better than 58. I use 'em for the guitar cab and for the lead vocals!

Lol, done this before

now what you hear is not a test

What do you call a drummer with no girlfriend? Homeless ...

What's the difference between a guitarist and a pizza? ... A pizza can feed a family of four.

Also known as "The drummer's last words"

Like the 3rd hand for the guitarists playing a double neck.

1968. Filmore. Watching the audience melt ...

Come on children, come on children Come on clap your hands

All the kids are dancin' as the jockey spins gold

All the instruments are cutting the mix.

Spanish lady come to me, she lays on me this rose It rainbow spirals round and round, it trembles and explodes It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away But the heat came round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy day Coming, coming, coming around Coming around, coming around, in a circle

Yes, I understood! The ET on the right is a bit rude, but very subtle!

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
