How 'bout it ladies, what makes 'em get special treatment? And don't pretend they don't either. I've seen it in action. :D

musicians are good with their hands ;)

musicians are good with their hands ;)
Lol.

pretty much, yeah. pianists fingers and whatnot. well, cellists in my case.

im a guy musician. ;) hooray! i'm sorted. :D

im a guy musician. hooray! i'm sorted.

heh, i read that as "gay musician". lol :D

was thinking, 'so what if you are good with your hands then' :confused:

musicians are good with their hands ;)

Not to mention the stamina we drummers have. ;)

We do? Why the fuck am I missing out? :p

I'm a chick musician, where does this leave me? :confused:

heh, i read that as "gay musician". lol :D

ask your mother

I'm a cick musician, where does this leave me? :confused:
well you're obviously good with your hands too



(and I will mention now that I can play the saxophone ;) )

I'm a chick musician, where does this leave me? :confused:
lesbianism? please? in front of a camera?

ask your mother
I think he means he was thinking if he's gay there's no point of being good with your hands...
although I can think of many reasons why being gay and being good with your hands would matter.

I'm a chick musician, where does this leave me? :confused:

On a pedestal in every musician guy's minds. Especially if you're a drummer. Drummer chicks rock like no other.

(and I will mention now that I can play the saxophone ;) )

Haha ... I remember in band in high school everybody tried to date the clarinet players. I preferred the flautists, myself, but it was amusing watching the young boys stare at the girlies while they blew on the reeded instruments.

i can play the dijereedoo. that means im good with my mouth too. :D :p

Nah, I'm a guitarist.
*wants a new guitar*

Nah, I'm a guitarist.

Works for me! Send me some video of you playing and I will worship you from afar. :D

Being a musician suggests your creative and possibly romanitc. I think most women would choose a musician over a guy who jsut repeats facts for a living. Those facts can't be too fun in bed. :rolleyes:

I don't have the technology for that. :p Besides, I'd probably get performance anxiety and suck...

All these are nice, logical reason, but to me it seems more innate and less cognative. I've seen girls put up with loads upon loads of shit just 'cause the guy could play a few chords.

I don't have the technology for that. :p Besides, I'd probably get performance anxiety and suck...

i wouldn't mind the performance anxiety as long as you sucked.

Ok, bad choice of words on my part. :p

Ok, bad choice of words on my part. :p

at least you're :p i was kind of expecting disapprobation

chicks in bands are more attractive than guys in bands because of the rarity value. chicks singing and strumming alone, or singing and playing piano, are just plain annoying in my opinion, even if they have physical qualities going for them eg Katie Melua

Meh. I'm not an ogre... :p

Yeah, annoying like Vanessa Carlton etc? I'd definitely be in a band. I can't sing for crap. :p And the kind of music I listen to is "band music."

so are you in a band? "metal rhythm guitar" isn't exactly a tough gig.

I don't have the technology for that. :p Besides, I'd probably get performance anxiety and suck...

Doh! Ah well ... build up that confidence, girl ... you'll need it when I tour again and am looking for an unknown guitarist and I show up at your door. :D

Chicks in bands rule.

Nah, I'm not. I don't really have time atm. Although that's prolly bullshit... I just don't know anyone who needs a guitarist. :p

*gets practicing*
Not a good idea as it's midnight here. :D

Nah, I'm not. I don't really have time atm. Although that's prolly bullshit... I just don't know anyone who needs a guitarist. :p

Can you play bass as well? :p

Nah, I'm not. I don't really have time atm. Although that's prolly bullshit... I just don't know anyone who needs a guitarist. :p

nice rock chick turns up, i expect they'd find an opening lol

Can you play bass as well?
Why not. Bass = easy. :D I'm in love with m cousin's 1958 Fender Bass. *drools*

Oh the flattery. :D

I thought this was a "whats with girls and musicians thread" not a "what's with a girl musician and lots of drooly guys" thread?

Why not. Bass = easy. :D I'm in love with m cousin's 1958 Fender Bass. *drools*

Yay, we can start a band! How about "The Max Barrys" For a name? :D

*And wants to steal that bass.*

Why not. Bass = easy. :D I'm in love with m cousin's 1958 Fender Bass. *drools*
:D
ive noticed that bass is a natural progression for a lot of guitarists. i tried it but i ended up goin back to the guitar. now my brother plays my bass more than me.

*gets practicing*
Not a good idea as it's midnight here. :D

Bah! Musicians need no knowledge of time. The best parties occur after midnight and the best venues to play don't even open until 11 pm or later.

Why not. Bass = easy. :D I'm in love with m cousin's 1958 Fender Bass. *drools*

Oh the flattery. :D

Bass maybe easy to get good with, but beacuse of this its very hard to attain the distinction of being great with.

Muahahah! I is a thread stealer!!

And Kanabia, no, we shall not be called the Max Barry's. Besides, there are too many "The somethings" bands these days. Too trendwhore. :p

True...

How about Symptom of a Nationstate?

Heheheh :D

who cares about great? the question is - is bass easy to get chicks with?

unless you're a chick.

although i suppose it depends on what kind of chick.

and if you're that kind of chick you can be in my band.

and bring your friends too, eh?

True...

How about Symptom of a Nationstate?

Heheheh :D

my band was called "our mutual friend", which, looking back, sounds really gay.

Why not. Bass = easy. :D I'm in love with m cousin's 1958 Fender Bass. *drools*


Ah, well, sorry ... but any band I'm in, I play bass (I can give Les Claypool a run for his money). It's my only requirement. Oh, that and I've fired more sound guys than you can imagine. I'm really, really anal when it comes to sound quality.

Three words, hmm, must have been an emo band. ;)

Actually, no. Bassists tend to be ignored. That's why I prefer to play bass when I'm in a band. I'm there for the music, not the girlies.

True...

How about Symptom of a Nationstate?

Heheheh

:p No more coffee for you!

How about... bah, I got nothing. Although disease names make great band names- like Marfan's Syndrome!

BTW, there's a Monash/Melbourne sportsday coming up. Not sure if it's just meds though... Haha. Maybe I should organise a netball team. (Yes, I am a daggy netballer)

Hmm, how about "Down Syndrome"? Uh, hang on. That sounds cool, but... :(

And eww, sports! I can't even play table tennis :p

So true, and good on you. Any musician that plays music just to get laid is obviously not a good one. :)

I prefer guitar anyway.

Whenever I think bass I think of John Deacon from Queen, and his awful hair. :p

Three words, hmm, must have been an emo band. ;)

emo-ish, with hard funky parts, punky parts, and just general disagreement over what kind of music to play.

So true, and good on you. Any musician that plays music just to get laid is obviously not a good one. :)

i don't see the logical impossibility of being a good musician just to get laid. although i didn't care at the time, as long as i was getting laid lol

ROFL! All bassists should have that hair. :D

No! A puppy dies every time someone has hair like that.

It's true!

I kill the puppies. :p

Heh, good guess on my part then. :)

Well, I suppose there's no reason you can't bee technically proficient, but if you just want to get laid instead of playing for the love of music itself...then you probably won't excel.

But you might get laid..!

ya you might get laid.

You might get laid if you drive a Ferrari too. And you'll save several years of practice, and probably money too in the long run. :p

Yeah but its cheaper to be the guy who turns up to a party, gets drunk and tries to play+sing 'creep' on an accoustic..

How about getting drunk and playing stairway to heaven. ON AN AIR GUITAR! :p

i never saw a chick do that - i have to say i truly don't know whether it would be a turn on or off.

Now that I'm on VoteEarly's ignore list, that's all I have to do in this world. *cry* I shall miss him so. :D

he was bullied as a kid, poor lamb, he's never got over it. check out the Alabama Edumacation thread.

Hehe. I'm surprised I'm not there already. I mean, surely I fit his definition of Satan? :p

And IH, at that same party I, together with a good mate of mine, managed to do very bad karaoke to Fat Bottomed Girls. Oh the shame.

Actually, maybe it wasn't the same party...

I can't remember. Oh the drunkenness of years 11 and 12.

I..hmm.

*makes note to try that*

I already know that song, too. :p

the kind of woman who you get for having a ferrari isn't the same kind that you get for being in a band

Drugged up groupies with AIDS as opposed to spoilt rich girls with fake breasts, eh?

OK, gimme the groupies.

OK, gimme the groupies.

that's the spirit - Tattooed Smack Whores A-Go-Go

I could do with a musician in a Ferrari. Wouldn´t mind a bit! ;)

he was bullied as a kid, poor lamb, he's never got over it. check out the Alabama Edumacation thread.

Yeah I know ... and he was constantly subjected to harpies and succubi in high school ... check the lottery thread. :D

Hehe. I'm surprised I'm not there already. I mean, surely I fit his definition of Satan? :p

Well then we can be there together. I have it on very good authority that we're in some very, very good company. :)

Well, karaoke does not work without lots of booze anyway. Sober karaoke proves what the word basically means ... empty orchestra.

It all seems like too much of a rich tapestry to me. :rolleyes:

And I don't think I've made the ignore list. Yet.

It is funny, though. If I weren't ignored, I'd ask him why he's devoting so much time to bragging.

Nobody makes that much straight out of uni...

i havent come acrossVoteEarly yet.

How 'bout it ladies, what makes 'em get special treatment? And don't pretend they don't either. I've seen it in action. :D


I dig musicians because it has been my personal experience , that they are very passionate, deep, romantic men. I'm a very musical person and I have those same characteristics. Musicians tend to be more laid back,open minded, and have a terrific sense of humor. I once dated a guy who would play his guitar and sing special songs to me. Music is a form of poetry in my opinion and can express very sincere emotions about how one feels about another.


Musicians rock! *swoon*

They seem to really like saxophonists, and I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth....

Maybe it's because we have to spend so much time getting one thing right. Maybe because we are wired in some way to respond to song and it just goes back to a basic trigger in our biology to get to mating.

An interesting argument I heard for music programs-it's one of the only things you teach kids that they have to get all right. If you miss 10% on a math test it's still pretty good, you do that playing a piece of music and it's gonna sound like utter crap. Some things you just have to get all right. Music forces that.

I think that the saxophone is a tone range that they respond to, plus it's very expressive, allowing the player to be very suductive. Of course when I was playing cafes more often than not I would get 40 year old divorcees....not my thing...At rest the bari sax player has an impressive and suggestive silhouette....

So far the only chicks I've run into that like script writers are actress' that don't realise that the playwright isn't involved in casting decisions...

Well, I can't have a relationship with someone I can't identify with. And I can really identify with musicians because I am one myself. I play classical piano.

First, you're going to know all the quality 'sweet spots,' if you get my meaning.

Second, smart is sexy both ways.

Third, as a broke ass artist a chick with a gainful vocation is fantastic. Especially after the 'dating batshit stripper' phase. Then someone like a doctor becomes very attractive.

Fourth, the long hours give the artists plenty of time to be artists without bugging the hell out of you. Musicians are all fine and romantic until you hear them practice, I mean really practice-goin' over the same four bars over and over and over, up and down those scales, etc. Then they start wondering if the sax can survive going through the window and whether or not they care....

Oh yeah....doctor works for chicks I thing almost as well as it works for dudes. I think anything that works for men works half again as good for women.

Hey ... doctors have to know anatomy ... I certainly wouldn't complain about a partner who knows just how the nerves in my body react. :D

When I was playing cafes I was also driving a Porsche (albiet a beat up 914) so when hot chicks where out of earshot (cause I'm kinda cowardly) I would say "Hi, I play sax and drive a Porsche...."

Oddly enough that line worked by proxy cause I did it near a chick I had no idea was interested in me. (not to her, but I think she just adjusted it in her head so it would work). Whats strange is she didn't like either the sax or the car.....I don't know what she was in it for, really....

what do you call a musician who breaks up with his girlfriend?

homeless


i have no idea why women are attracted to musicians. they dont even have to be sucessful. some women just love men who need to be taken care of.

one of my friends (a fully adult woman mind you) dated a musician who was so hopeless that he not only didnt have a bank account, he didnt have a WALLET!. but he was a good musician and the son of a famous one so she gave it a try for a few months

stupid stupid stupid.

*snicker* funny.

Anyway, though, not this musician. I have a reasonably nice living as a musician and a teacher of music.

Haven´t you seen the arms of a guitarist? There´s your reason! Mmmmm....

:D Yeah, my bf (not a musician. but an arts student :p ) always jokes about me supporting him while he stays home and bludges/looks after the kids.

Looking after the kids would be work though, so that doesn't really count. And you do learn lots of anatomy. Muahahaha. *ebil face*
