Boogie1 Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------You gigging players know what I'm talking about. There's always that one weird dude or chick that always seems to turn up. The one that stands a foot away from you and plays air guitar. The weird chick that dances by herself....in a very weird manner. (Worse than the typical white person with no rythym!) The "high fivers".........the worst kind are the wasted ones that babble at you two inches from your face on break between sets, usually complete with bad breath! We got one we call Charlie Manson- he does look very similar! There's a chick that we call Whole Lotta Rosie- (Rosie is her name!) she's pretty harmless. Dances all night by herself. There's another drunken skank that dances by herself (I'm sure because nobody wanted to dance with her!). I observed one night in a club around closing time as she made her rounds trying to get picked up. There were at least 3 different MC clubs in there that night, and even the sleaziest bikers didn't want her! She got in a taxi and split! Oh, and then there's this Native American guy. He's the air guitar type. Harmless one. There's actually another Native American dude too, he's the drunken rambling In Your Face with bad breath kind. I don't know if any of you guys have any Native American fans, but they can be RABID when it comes to music. The heavier, the better!

I don't know if any of you guys have any Native American fans, but they can be RABID when it comes to music. The heavier, the better!I was thinking about this the other night, actually-I think I've seen some of these guys! We always get the one (usually just one guy who came by himself) who sort of hangs on the fringe all night and could be stalking one of the regular female attendees in our crowd. He'll occasionally dance with them (in a group), but he's always there to the point that you think he's with one of them until the next time you run into the lady/ladies and find out that she/they had no idea who in the hell he is. During set breaks, he makes it a point to comment on your gear ("I dig your Flying Vee", "I used to have a Dean just like that one", etc.) and kind of monopolizes you such that you can't make the rounds, etc that you have to. Of course, you can't just blow 'em off because you think he's with the hotties and you don't want to offend THEM...
Craig S Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Seems to be the one thing that is universal... Most of the time it's harmless but I've gotten to the point over the years I don't much patience when they get obnoxious with me ...
Willie G. Moseley Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 One of the most unique examples in my experience was when my trio played for my own class reunion, and a space cadet showed up (by himself, both nights!) from the class that had graduated the previous year.
Matt Mattson Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 OK, OK, -- I got it. I'll stand back some, but I'm still playing the air guitar. I paid to get in just like everyone else!
darc Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 OK, OK, -- I got it. I'll stand back some, but I'm still playing the air guitar. I paid to get in just like everyone else! It's only a matter of time before the kids start bringing their Guitar Hero controllers out to the clubs.
silentman Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I love watching the guy with no rhythm out there dancing like he's having a seizure.
Eric Weston Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 OK, OK, -- I got it. I'll stand back some, but I'm still playing the air guitar. I paid to get in just like everyone else! It's only a matter of time before the kids start bringing their Guitar Hero controllers out to the clubs. IT'S ALREADY STARTED!!!! I was playing a week-niter a few months ago where the local radio "personality" hosted a guitar hero contest during a set break...NO SHIT!!!
BubbaVO Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 OK, OK, -- I got it. I'll stand back some, but I'm still playing the air guitar. I paid to get in just like everyone else!+1. Note to self...mouthwash before heading out. No cheesesteaks until after second set.
zorrow Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 We had this guy whose name I never knew... They called him "The Cat", as he looked like a cat indeed. The guy was always drunk or high or whatever... He babbled some stuff to me a couple of times, but I don't think I cared about listening to him. He used to jump around, play air guitar and do weird things... They said he lived in a hole down the stage -- I never confirmed whether it was true or false. He's now gone. He died of AIDS, as someone told me not so long ago.

Local wing joint is having an every Wednesday night GH contest for 6 weeks with a real nice Import Dean V as the prize at the finals.
Abaco Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 There's a girl in my town who dances in one spot by herself with her arms waving above her head like that orangutan in those old Clint Eastwood movies. This girl's body runs on crank and she's mighty weathered. My wife calls her "monkey girl". Say no to crank.
