Title: OMGzzz That is Like, SOOO Un-Rock'n'Roll
Post by: indysmith on March 05, 2006, 05:14:24 PM
Last night my friend's band were selling t-shirts at a gig they played, and they provided punters with washing instructions saying how to look after the shirts!
I thought this was THE most un-rock'n'roll thing of all time. Any of you folk been involved with / know of any painfully un-rock'n'roll happennings? :P

Tell you what is Rock and Roll...

Forming a band called "Big Bollocks" comprised of a wild singer, a riff-tastic guitarist and a big-breasted female drummer.

Yeah Cream were live on BBC2 a while ago and the drummer was wearing a Cream T shirt. I'd never wear a T shirt with my name on it, so tacky  :lol:

Ginger probably had to be reminded of where he was.

HE may be an amazing frimmer, but he is still a drummer.

The most un rock & roll thing I have experience of is the drummer in my brother's band years ago. His grandfather used to take and collect him from gigs - wearing one of those old man's sheepskin coats along with a trilby hat and drving gloves- in a purple Austin Maxi- oh the shame.

I was often there helping my younger brother - lending him gear and driving him around and all that but the worse thing was that the old man( lovely guy) would insist on talking to us and so there was no pretending " he's not with us". My brother is still mates with those guys and they still laugh about it now. The old guy is long since dead- bless his heart.

hahahaha!!!

what a nice way to end that passage:

"the old guy is long since dead" you know without the "bless his heart" that sentance would not have been recogniseable as a beatle post.
