Back off, old man. She's all mine!I dunno..I'm kinda digging the one on the right.
I hear ya on the cables, and there's still about the same number as in the old days, although there's no longer a need for a snake, since everything plugs into a stage box that's also the digital mixer. The mixer is then controlled via WiFi on a tablet or other similar device. I normally run sound from the stage (a tablet on my mic stand), but lately we've also had my buddy Art sitting out in the audience with a spare tablet making minor adjustments and cuing various delay effects where needed. With the WiFi setup, I can run FOH (with Art's help) the drummer Donnie can run monitors from his seat, and the other two guys can also tweak their own monitor mixes via tablet or phone. With all the technology these days, it's a great time in history to be a musician.That was a visual I did not need. I was going to guess scratching the stage. Back in the day I never gave a thought to hauling gear down a flight of stairs and out to the trucks at 3am. The worst part back then was not noticing the spilled drinks (or worse) on the cable you are rapidly rolling up. Probably not nearly so many cables today. As a keyboard player I had two suit cases full of cables and power supplies. The good old days . . . you can have 'em.
The price that is paid for hard living and not taking care of yourself. Such a shame. No one should look like that at 50.thanx......as a child I once watched the movie bride of frankenstein and couldnt sleep for a month, had nightmares,
that pic might be the adult version
She's the bass player.I just noticed something....the babe on the far left has 6 fingers wrapped around her glass. That is not something you see every day!
False. Bass players only need one or two fingers. Heck, they've only got four strings to deal with. She's actually the keyboard player.She's the bass player.
I hadn't really studied the photo beyond those stunning faces. There are all sorts of things going on. The gal on the left is two-fisted drinking some sort of olive salad (presumably pickled in gin), and there's someone's hand in the middle with a couple of freakishly long fingers. Not to mention the long digits on ol' Lucy McSixfingers.The one on the right has another hand and arm coming out of a strange place
And the one on the right, seems to have two left hands, apart from the already long pinky finger of the middle one. Maybe they are aliens that misplaced their disguise.I just noticed something....the babe on the far left has 6 fingers wrapped around her glass. That is not something you see every day!
Heck, 4 strings are about 2 or 3 strings too many for some songs.False. Bass players only need one or two fingers. Heck, they've only got four strings to deal with. She's actually the keyboard player.
I'm sensing some AI generated photo manipulation going on. {serious}So far they have a notoriously hard time with fingers{/serious} Not a joke, lol.And the one on the right, seems to have two left hands, apart from the already long pinky finger of the middle one.

I've noticed that guys who have 7 or 8 string guitars tend to play only downtuned metal music, and they usually just use about 2 strings.Heck, 4 strings are about 2 or 3 strings too many for some songs...

Gotta give props for the tin can microphone. True hilllbilly hi-fi.Real bass players only need one string on the washtub
