well actually i was just asking. im not really a serious guy at all.
hmm,
based on personal experiences
1)instant last minute jam
2)play songs that you didnt even ask the band to learn
3)every band member plays a different song.
4)lead guitar tempo is 1.5 that of the rythm guitar (timing off)
5)walk out in the middle of a song just to catch a glimpse of the hot chick next door
6)walk out and run home without paying leaving the rest of the band to pay for your share
7)open the door in the middle of a song just so you could talk to a friend outside (as if it makes any difference)
8 )keep changing your sound settings over and over again for every song
9)when your vocalist is not available, invite someone with no experience as a vocalist to sing passages from his english homework.
10)leave quietly as soon as the jam starts.
yes, i know we're a bunch of screwups.

How about playing a bass with one string and the drums with fingers plus guitars with 3 strings..
Then the band shall record their songs in the toilet cause echo better there. lol

Haha i have some hilarious ones of my own.
1) Put used underwear in the bass amp and let the fragrance waft around the room everytime u play
2)Get all the band members to fart excessively,then run out,not before locking the door.When the studio owner goes in he won't know what hit him.
3)Use the drumset as tables for eating halfway during jamming.
4)Everyone play their instruments completely naked then calling the studio owner in to "check the amplifiers".
5)Mdm Tan of Bukit Anak Kambing aka My Sassy Neighbour:EHHHH!!! YOU MUST BE POSITIVE!!!!
6)财神到eh,(music),财神到eh,(music),财神到你的家门口！（Slimfit,真的有效吗？)

LOL everyone solo for the whole song ?! Haha ... now that is called noise, not music :mrgreen:
1) jump around like rockstars and miss every note you play
2) drummer plays louder then the rest of the band
3) when the lead goes into solo tranceland and keeps on going till your jam session ends
4) when the rhythm cant be heard at all because he think his amp is too loud and is giving feedback when he ups the volume
5) when there are 2 "sound man" in the band (i personally think its a chore)

Hahahaha this Thread is very funny – I like it.
1) When song start – I crash the Cymbals very very loud.
2) If playing a Normal Rock Song (Boom…Tak…Boom…Tak) – Laid Back, Use one-hand Right-Hand play both the hats & snare while the Left hand eat Pop-Corn and drink Coca-Cola – look at all Band Members and smile…make monkey face at them.
3) Then as the Singer sings play very damn loud and crash the cymbal suka-suka – The louder he sings the louder I should play – try covering up his voice.
4) Play something or anything that will not lock in with the Bassists.
5) Then if the KeyBoardist Solo- Put my stick down – walk over to the his keyboard and – help him out - just press and press and press any key there- have fun. And after that when the others turn to Solo – I will Solo also – make sure I battle my band members out – and try to turn victory… – This is call “Fight It Out”..make them get very heated out so they will use their Music to fight you back.
6) If they say change my style – I will then Solo and crash never on the one, but anywhere odd – make them blurr loose their timming if they are not counting.
7) Then when my turn to Solo – Just Solo lah – who cares a damn about the others – Solo till I shiok shiok and when I get tired, then just stop anywhere, put down the sticks tell them I am going out to have a puff. I’ll be back 5 minutes later
8) Then after rejuvenating myself – sit back on my drums and wack the hell out it – with the intention to break any skin I could on the Kit.

But Jokes aside Brothers – How About a Real-Life-Story - I’ve ever play for a Band that is so funny. It’s my 1st Band (and honestly, during those times – what do I know about Music-just play as told to me)
The singer sings of course. But he cannot drag his voice too long – so I will Crash the cymbals to cover the section where he cannot drag to sustain his voice - to cover him …. Hahahaha so funny right….this makes him happy of course.
Then for some songs, somehow the singer can’t end correctly at the 4 (his time clock not working properly I think) ………..so he will sometimes stop or pause at at the 3 or 2 or 1 (depending – depending as he wish & each time is different) – of course this will throw everybody off …but I’m the least experience that time new mah – so he will turn to me the Drummer – my fault la…. hahahaha !, because I will have to anticipate and guess when he will stop – this is a facts of life and he (because he is the singer) he will always be right one, this is the Music world he said to me ……hahahahaha he is so funny (he also says if he was Elvis Presley he will sack me immediately from his band). –– when it comes to those parts again as we redo the songs – it’s like playing Bingo like that – I will always have to ticum ticum when he will stop…..got through I’m so lucky, if not I kenna chailat again – kenna scoulding again….hahahaha so funny. and he doesn't like me laughing at him ...singing
This band is very funny - so I always say "Wah you are such a good singer" then he likes me very much -never scould me ever again...Then we got a Very Good Ang-Mo Basssists, he is British - plays very well. 1st day comes join the Band he tells the Singer, hey got to like that like that lah - - - You know lah..Ang Moh is very Straight-Forward (their culture which is good) - straight away next time no need to come ever again lah ...... so the band has always remains as it is.
Oh and yes one more funny thing - The Bassists there have been with the band for 8 months or so (during that time) I was 3 months - many a times - Singer says "Name a Title Of a Song" - The bassists will wisper to me "How lah how lah - how the song goes I forgot - I will then Humm the Tune to him" then we all get started...Once I humn the wrong tune I remember .....and we both played wrongly - you should have seen the Look On The Singer Face - and the both of us (the Bassists & me) instinctly just pointed our Fingers at each other " saying his fault " - that was really hilarious...even the singer laugh it out (how to get angry here)
The above inculcated some bad habits for me but I’ve unlearn it after I join a Jazz Band.

-Singer grabs mic and runs around as though studio IS the stage
-Guitarist tries to copy guitar swing but his strap breaks
-Singer hums over forgotten lyrics
-Drummer tries to play the song at double the tempo cos he think 'it'll sound more rock'
-Bassist slings so low he cant reach the last string
-Band asks someone along to listen but that person falls asleep in studio
-Member/s can't make it cos girl/boyfriend 'don't like his/her friends'

Just heard a band of trio yesterday. A violin, a double bass and a piano. The song was a light bossa nova number called "Fallen" (from pretty woman - very very nice, I like). The double bassist and the pianist played lightly with groove, however the violinist kept a straight beat and played with no rest, insisting to hold all the longer notes.
LOL...

haha. this is turning into funny jamming experience.
here's mine, some points repeated.
- bands goes in. drummer doesnt need to set up right...and so he bashbash drum when the rest of us wanna set up
- guitarist(me usually, hehe) set up, set volume high and give one loud JGENG!!!!!!
-1 song for warm up. drummer finishes first with crazy face after that.
- one nice super solo song. the song finish, lead guitar still with solo and a high steve vai face.
- suddenly(happens too many times to me), band will play a song where i dont know, then i just turn up volume and solosolosolo all the way.
thats all folks!
