Top 5 Tuesday Ninety-Five

I think we should hold off on the pad-naming until an official housewarming party is called and we can all get a vibe on the place. Vag, the balls are in your court! I have come up with a topic that i think we can all get into, either from a band or an audience point of view.

Top 5 Guaranteed Bar Gig Happenings


  1. 'Gear Bowling'. Some drunk ass will always stumble/trip/dance/fall/topple into your shit. Always. Guaranteed.
  2. The 'Sublimely Hip Jam' Rule. No gig ever passes without a request for the holy trinity: Sublime, The Hip or PJ. This rule has been without exception since the Fall/Winter of 2002 when i hooked up with the Tribbianis.
  3. The Cliche/Obscure Combo Factor. Example: "Can you play Brown Eyed Girl? No? How about some Fountains of Wayne?!"
  4. The 'Wrong Band' Request. Can you play Home For A Rest by Great Big Sea?
  5. The 'I don't really know what i'm talking about' request.
    Example: "Can you play some Stones?"
    "Sure man."

    (Band plays Dead Flowers.)
    Two songs later, "How about that Stones i asked for?"
    "We just played it!?!#"

Ya!Ya!Ya! At least you guyz were always good at knowing what I was talking about...example:"Justin play that song I love thats not Zeppelin"...Fairmonts/McFly start playing 'Crazy 'bout you' :)
Made an appearance @ Brass on Friday w/mom aswell as Taps on Talbot good timez but didnt know where to find The Fairmonts :(

Posted by: Batman on September 3, 2006 01:19 PM

That's a good one, Justine. That's one of my pet peeves--the song request--the playing of the request--and the walking out in the beginning of said song request. Bullshit.

Posted by: The Captain on September 3, 2006 12:44 AM

Im not gonna lie alot of those sound familiar from my drunken states watching you guyz!Not too sure if thats a good or bad thing!!
One event comes to mind...
Justine:Can you play some Zeppelin?
The Gentlemen:start playing "Your time is gonna come"
Justine:Robyn I'll be right back I have to go 2 the bathroom
OOOps :)
p/s you guys im sure have been on the other end sometime tho where the bands awesome and your sure they know the song your talking about so you wing it..as in as Steve-O stated "That song request" XOXO

far fucking out!

Posted by: scotty on September 1, 2006 09:33 AM

Asking nicely doesn't work either! You fucking song NAZI Captain!

1. The "I can't drive tonight" rule, courtesy of Scotty. Wasted...always.
2. The "I will show up and act like a complete asshole" rule, courtesy of Vagina. Anywhere, anytime, you can count on it to be brutal.
3. The "I will finish the band bar tab by myself before we begin playing and will bust vile ass consistently all night long" rule, courtesy of Lou. Count on it to be even more brutal than dealing with Vagina's shitiness.
4. The "I will heckle you from the other side of the world" rule, invented by Killer. I can set my fucking clocks by it.
5. The "I'm Steve...from Canada" rule, courtesy of Steve-O. Learn to watch for it, it'll come when you least expect it.

For an honourable mention--the "if I yell at you, you will magically know a song" rule. This is when some asshole asks you for a song, you tell him you don't know how to play it. He then proceeds to say 'c'mon, just fucking play it...JUST FUCKING PLAY IT!!!' Oddly enough, yelling the someone doesn't make them learn songs. Just fuck off.

I only have one that hasn't been covered. A fat girl, skank, cougar, or even a very drunk dude, will come on to at least one guy in the band, but more often than not, ALL guys in the band.

Posted by: Lou on August 31, 2006 04:23 PM

Most of the good ones have been covered....kudos to Steve-o and the no wait for drinks....that has to be up there as one of the best.

I can really only think of one that urks me to death and I am sure it goes the same for being in a band or DJ'ing. The one donkey that requests a song and you have already played and won't fucking shut up about it. You try telling them its an unwritten rule and breaks the code. They keep going then you just eventually throw a drink in their face and get the door guys to throw them out.

Oh and I almost forgot...back in the day....you could be rest assured that when Vagina was DJ'ing it was of when...not if a song was going to skip!

Just ask Bri, ask for the song you want--DMB or Exile...We shall deliver!

Posted by: The Captain on August 31, 2006 03:05 AM

1. always trying to request some Hip,Sublime,Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band,
2.always being disappointed with the DMB song the band choses to play
3.being happy that the band played any DMB song at all
4. hoping that the band plays something from Exile on Main Street
5.Constantly fighting off the advances the bands girlfriend(s)

Posted by: the-bri-man on August 30, 2006 10:19 PM

5. The entire audience WILL (without exception) take over the stage. Dance floor empty. Stage (avec band) full). Have you ever seen 30 people try to fit into a beetle VW?

4. 5 hot ladies may stop the show to flash the audience their titties... Just maybe.

3. Prince WILL whip my pants (+ gitch) down!

2. At some point during the night two dudes will get up on stage to show the audience their cocks... GuaranteEd!

1. A very enebriated ex-stripper will get ejected from the bar for attacking the band topless.

I got witnesses - don't make me call 'em up.
LOL!
Big Love.

nice ones, rosa!

Posted by: scotty on August 30, 2006 06:47 PM

1. the mid song request - your in the middle of cripple creek, and someone is trying to get your attention to play the hip.

2. The "That Song" request - ie "you know that song, by that guy, in that band?....."

3. The aftershow lost member - at least one of em is gonna be pissed drunk. he'll disappear somewhere, and reappear just as you pack up his last piece of equipment.

4. Front line privilages - you get served quicker when your in the band. and the bartenders don't look at you funny when you ask for something obscure, like say a "quad"

5. The singer request - there's always some drunk ass that wants a piece of the mike.

Posted by: Steve-O on August 30, 2006 03:36 PM

1. Killer yelling, "YOU SUCK CAPTAIN!"
2. Killer snoring during all the lame ass songs the Captain plays.
3. Killer jumping up on stage to bust out back up vocals for "Black" since it's the only Pearl Jam the Captain knows how to play.
4. Killer constantly heckling the Captain during songs to make him crack up whilst singing.
5. The cheap breakfast afterwards w/da boys laughing aboot the night before.

Rock on Captain! \m/
