Ok this might sound petty but here are some musician pet peeves
1. Don’t request a song (especially something cringey) and not tip . Even a jukebox gets a little something . If it’s something especially cringey it will be “Market Price”
2. Thanks for offering to buy the band a round beers but rather than spending $25 dollars on beers marked up 70% just put the same in the tip jar or here’s a thought ... buy a Cd or digital download , it’s much more appreciated. Plus “Some folks” get to many of those drink.. especially drummers ... don’t buy the drummer drinks !!!
3. I LOVE it when other musicians wanna talk gear and guitars during set breaks but NEVER EVER EVER ask the band ..”Hey I play a little , can I get up and play a song or two ??” If your a pilot or doctor I’m not going to you place of business and ask to fly the plane or do a triple by-pass . I’ve literally had a guy cuss me out because I would let’s their 9 year old who took 2 drum lessons play a set .
4. Yes bro , your girlfriend is super hot but ....she can’t get up on stage with 15 of her wasted friends . If she spills a drink on our $1000 bass rig I guess your gonna pay for it right ?!!!
5. If you yell Freebird your an asshole . Half of the idiots that scream Freebird don’t even know who wrote it . Shut up and have another white claw .
sorry I got a little carried away !! Apologies. Haha . Rant over
