Funny Music Stories
 

Back in the 8th grade we were the first class to occupy the brand new, state of the art (at the time) Methuen High School. They went out of their way to be as progressive as possible to the point of having an outdoor smoking section for students. This would have been around 1974.

The school had a store staffed by students that actually sold albums by all of the popular rock bands of the time. I bought Bad Company's debut from them. :yeah:

One of the cooler things they did would allow the store to play album sides over the PA during lunch periods. And they let them play nice and loud.

One day they decide to play side one of Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith. Everyone is rocking out and it gets to track 5. About halfway through the lunch monitor bolts and about 30 seconds later you hear SCREECH!!!!! as the needle gets dragged across the LP.

They stopped allowing music after that.



Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big ten inch....

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays its blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big ten inch.....

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just loves my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

I, I, I cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she begs for my big ten inch.....

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

My girl don't go for smokin'
And liquor just make her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'Cept for my big ten inch.....

Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that play the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

Keiji Haino once had to cancel a show because he ate too many cream cakes and made himself sick.

The other night Michael Gira recoiled when he picked up a second microphoe ad quipped that he needed a towel to "clean off Henry Rollins spit" then told us an anecdote about how when they used to open for Black Flag they had to bring their own mics.

I laughed.

That reminds me of a time (late 80's, I think) when I saw the Rollins Band with a few friends. We were at the front of the stage, in a small club, and Henry was standing at the edge of the stage singing, wearing nothing but a pair of black shorts. One of my friends thought it would be funny to fold a dollar bill in half and stick it in the waistband of Henry's shorts, similar to the way someone would tip a stripper in a strip club by tucking a bill in her bikini bottom or g-string. My friend reaches up and slips the dollar bill in Henry's waistband, whereupon Henry immediately punches my friend in the head, dropping him to the floor like a sack of potatoes. The rest of us couldn't help bursting out laughing. It was funny alright, but not in the way my friend thought it was going to be. :laughing:

Your friend was an idiot. Classic Henry!!

Funny. I was going to start a thread similar to this earlier today.

So when I was in high school, my creative writing teacher did this project where everyone had to pick something to do then tell the class about it once they were done. Some kids did this thing where they left sticky notes in random places saying stuff like "your beautiful" "you've got this" and stuff like that. Other students decided to review restaurants. Any project you wanted. I decided to write a song. After spending weeks on it, being a perfectionist, I finally got to a point where I thought I had a semi presentable song. What did my peers say when hearing it?

"I feel like that's what you'll hear walking into hell." It's a metal song, so thanks.
"That's the music you listen to when on acid." The riffs were inspired by stoner rock, so thanks.

But the teachers response upon hearing the song is the best. "I feel like I need a shower!"

Lol that's awful. At least your in good spirits, **** plebs.

Well, i truly took all the comments as compliments. Cause they hear and experience the music the way they want to. So if they think acid is the way to experience it, cool. The tearchers response was like, well, I didn't think the music was so experimental that removed itself from normal mainstream music rules that create a weird feeling when listening to it.
