Yeah, my band actually decided to not accept money personally, but to put it all together into a band fund to pay for everything. And with some succesful financial planning, we've never had to pay for anything out of our own pockets.

Same here, although beer does have to come out of our own pockets. We're heavy drinkers, which means we'd have depleted our resources a long long time ago.

Bass guitar solos are {insert homosexual reference here}. If the bassplayer is good enough, he'll be able to play more than just rootnotes. That'd be something he'd have to discuss with the band, of course, but if he can't do even that, don't even let him near anything that could resemble a (poorly executed) bass solo.

Also, don't give it beer. Give it small packages of food to keep it conscious. For when alcohol is pouring into its body, death shall fall over your party. Last time I checked:

Death + Party = Death

And you like your party, do you not?

Women are a bad thing as well. You can use them yourselves (OMGCHAUVINISTPIG), but the bassplayer will hog them all for himself. So either get a really really ugly bassplayer, or castrate one.

That's about all you need, though. No band ever makes any money, and sure as hell can't pay anyone other than the driver driving them across the country.

first of all i just have to say that that was hilarious


and secondly
u should advertise that they would have creative freedom and should be allowed to come up with their own stuff and that they wont be dictatored(is that a word?)by the lead instruments and the their opinion will be important and included in all band decisions

and thirdly DONT U HAVE TO BE A BASSIST TO GET IN THIS GUILD?????
