"I'll bet they're down there screaming up at us".GC

If you were in Memphis yesterday it might sound a little like the overhead microphones of what goes on in our studio.

See ............. Hell on our music list. .............. lol

I remember a picture of the Hells Angels From Altamont, on the back of one it said "When I die Im going to heaven cause Ive already spent my time in hell!"

I kinda found that ironic, I would think it would just be guitarist with thier G string out of tune, flat singers, bass players with no strings on thier basses, and out of tune keys.

Hell is Hell.
A place of darkness separation from the Creator and grievous suffering.

For Rock Bands, the back up singer will likely sound like ... Crickets ? :wink:

Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky.

We make our own heaven and hell right here on earth. Sorry, you do not get to live forever, so make it count.

Hell for musicians is a great club with great everything and when you get up to perform, your instruments will not tune up AT ALL EVER, as in NOT EVEN CLOSE>..lol

Do you still play or do you throw your guitar back in the case and drown yourself in amber liquor?

JW it hurts to laugh like this and now I have to clean up my drink cause you made me spill it.

(Yeah you know you can smash that guitar like 50x and it won't even chip in hell, but still waaaaaaaay out of tune) LMAO

I'd try to play the whole tune on 1 string.. (F off Mitt, I still won't vote for you)(You can boil me in oil, but all you get is a medium well starfish cooked in oil)

Capt, years ago we played this club and the guy that owned it wanted me to smash a guitar, I told him hell no Im not breaking one of mine, if you will buy me a real cheap one, I will smash the hell out of it.

So he would get me these really cheap guitars, and of course they wouldnt stay in tune past the intro of the song.

One night I dont know what kind it was, but I could not break this thing, we finally set it between two chairs, and jumped on it a couple of times to make it break, my damn foot still hurts from that.

So there you have it Guitarist hell, out of tune guitar, that wont break, and broke my foot!

Heck in HS I made a smoking guitar one time, that was a hoot!

In hell, in addition to other more dramatic torments, I'd have to play my list of death - songs that I just can't stand to ever play again:

Rolling on the River
Evil Ways
Gimmee a ticket for an Airplane
Smoke on the Water
Down by the River (I played that a hundred times at a carnival where the electricity went out and there was only bass and drums - I nearly went insane)

etc ad nauseam

Hell for a rock musician is being in a band that kicks ass and have nowhere to gig for reasonable pay and then finding out that some muscally irrelevant turd like Lady Gaga makes millions of dollars each week....

Heh heh Bob, like I said we make our own hell.

If it ain't working, get out yer screwdiver and fix it, or else you'll have a screw loose.

Thinking on this more, Hell for some musicians might be playing FreeBird over and over!
