Throw a shoe a the keyboard player...

[PocketGroove82]

...if he uses the "Transpose" button on a tune so he doesn't have to play in B Major. Because if he is anything like mine, he's gonna forget to unclick that evil button, and you'll find out about it the hard way on the next song.

Are you referring to midifiles?

Hahha, yeah, I had a KB player that did that all the time.

the last keyboard player we had, it was awful. i worked my ass off ( and my ASS off! ) to play my parts and some of his keyboard parts at the same time on guitar, so i could prove we didnt need him. it worked! plus he was an A1 tool.

just like that 2nd guitarist we once had, he stood no chance.

I am referring to keyboard players who like to use the transpose button on their keyboards...which allows them to play everything in C, or F, or Bb!

it's the devil's invention!

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I knew a keyboard player that did this all the time. He had mastered playing in C and thats about all he could do!

 

[Spudmurphy]

Mmmm Yeah - I can remember knocking out the keyboard player in my band when we were over in Germany for 2 weeks. He was a tool too!

Man l've never come across a keyboard player who'd use the transpose key like that. I guess it's just pure laziness. But l don't think l'd have a problem with that, unless we were gigging and forgot about it and started playing in the wrong key, then there would be a major problem, fear the waith of SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott.

LMAO, I'm normally a pretty fair man, but when regarding bands, unnessary screw ups, not practising/learning songs are pretty much not acceptable for me, and thats when l turn into the Hulk. hehe, so a keyboard player can use all the trick and cheats he's wants in a song, but screw up, esp. in front of a crowd and they will cop it.

[robelinda2]

agreed. sometimes this happens in my band, i get angry too, mostly with the singer. grrrrr

Don't get me started with singers.

Our keyboard man used to use his Mac to transpose his Kurzweil for him so he could play everything in "C". He got picked up for methamphetamine distribution among other things recently. The warning signs were all there, as they say.

And its rare to get a good keyboard player in the first place! Most of them sound like a Nintendo!

Lately i had a problem with a keyboard player. Im studying music at college at the moment and its compulsary to start a band. unfortuantly for me and my mate ( who also plays guitar ) we got chuked into the reject band, lol............why? because we wanted to play rock, heavy rock, progressive metal, you get the picture. but every one else was playing funk, dont get me wrong i like funk and jazz but there was no excuse for this guy. He walks about with no shou's on, shouts and genarly being a d**k.......oooo and he was pethetic on the keyboard.

we manged to get rid of him though, i had to be harsh and tell what i thought of him,lol
