well ehhh, last gig everyone was yelling: "we want dees for the striptease on the floor...", but I couldn't do if, because all the women would go insane because of my beautifull body (note the sarcasm:) )

Not ourselves, but at the last wedding we played, one of the Ushers came up to sing and proceeded to strip and then encouraged two of the others to do so.

They did stop at their underwear fortunately.

Jub, concentrate on playing and less on the nudity. The Chilli Peppers already covered that years ago.

I hope you guys are all glued to your television sets watching the Euro 2004 Football (soccer) Championchips and are cheering on England!!!

In my last band we've had "boxer night" where the band usuallydrops trow for a couple of songs (which wasn't bad because our singer was a female stripper and usually wore really nice thongs).

No one has ever gotten naked, except for one night whe we were in our fourth set when a drunk came up and snatched (no pun intended) the thong right off our singer. The bounces beat the s**t out of him, she just kept singing, and the drummer and I enjoyed the show:D .

You are right... it was a very long evening with the band last night. We started practice at 7 and stopped drinking at 3... my head still hurts... I don't know why!

thats why when you rehearse, you shouldnt drink. i guess its just my work ethic, no drug or alcohol use during anything, whether is be writing, recording, or rehearsing.

but, if i had a frontwoman who wore thongs and liked to strip, id be trying to get her drunk too.

The whole female singer thing is give and take. I've been in 4 bands with female singers (the current one is male). 3 of the 4 were great to look at, but 2 of the 4 were absolute b**ches (who looked good and could sing ok). The best of the bunch was "ok" looking but knew how to sing. She was able to work the audience, knew how to market herself, and knew it was about the band and the music. I'd rather work with her any day then than any of the others. It is just like any other band situtation, do you want looks and ego, or talent and humility (you've hit the jackpot if you've found looks talent AND humility).

Oh we started drinking after rehersal. Our singer has a bit of cash and just had an inground pool put in. After we finished practicing, the wives and girlfriends joined us. That led to an evening of sitting on the deck, listening to tunes talking about the "zen" of music and trying to clear out his mini bar (not to mention several dips into 88degree water). Did I mention my head just popped of my body and is running down the hallway screaming in agony.

i worked with a female singer once, she was hot but it was a bad situation. so the 6th member of our band(our hot maerch girl) is the only women we bring anywhere(except our girlfriends.). which works out, she is the singers wife, she dresses in skimpy clothing, and sells our ****.


lately she has been lazy, not doing merch, not taking photo's, not video taping. we had a sold out show at the continental in nyc the other day and she stood on the side of the stage and did nothing.

I would never let my body sweat touch my precious gear!!

Also the strap gets very uncomfortable in the shoulder.
