The Rock Bible: Unholy Scripture for Fans & Bands.

http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/10-commandments-from-the-rock/

I. “Do not name your band after another current band’s song or album. Come to think of it, don’t name your band after any song or album. Nobody cares about your ‘good’ taste.”

II. “Turntables are not, nor have they ever been, a musical instrument.”

III. “Using your computer on stage means you’re as likely to be checking your e-mail as you are to be performing music.”

IV. “Never personally master your own recordings unless you really don’t want anyone to listen to them.”

V. “Everybody thinks they’re funny. Most people aren’t, especially soundmen.”

VI. “Few singers are allowed to drape scarves on microphone stands. You are not one of them.”

VII. “Rhythm guitar players should always look like they want to be somewhere else.”

VIII. “Those who figure they will play bass because it has two fewer strings than a guitar and is therefore easier to learn should probably just hold cases that hold guitars and basses.”

IX. “Singers who tell the audience to ‘Give it up for yourselves!’ should be attacked by hyenas.”

X. “Never spend more time on your hair than you would eating a modest-sized meal.”

The Rock Bible: Unholy Scripture For Fans & Bands is the brainchild of author/editor Henry Owings who is also the publisher of Chunklet. For more information visit: www.quirkbooks.com.

Surely Mixmaster Mike is playing an instrument?

Lads weren't too impressed when the Electric Bass and Guitars came out too!

ok, im goona give that guy credit for being somewhat musical - when hes not playing tracks recorded by musicians , not bad at all I must say .

but hes probably one in a zillion who can actually play pitched tones with vinyl - im more talking about the ones who basically sound engineer tracks recorded by true musicians with a pitch changer , volume slider and a drum machine and think they are also musicians .

fraid not , not even close .
