Theres always one clown that brings a guitar to a party

One More Toy

Sitting in the corner, spitting out tunes randomly to show off. Im sick of it , sick and tired of it. Theres only so much Jeff Buckley I can listen to.

Favourites include:

Kings of Leon
Jeff Buckley
James Blunt

I blame the women, flocking to these with a wet stain like a snail following them. Thats great and all, you do what you gotta do to get that tail, but I came here to have the craic, a few beers and a laugh, not for you to have impromptu performances.

How do you guys feel? Are you one of them? If so, whats your motivation?:mad:

When you're at a party at some guy brings out the guitar it's like if you're in a wheelchair and some ****$er brings the party upstairs!

Is there a term for the deluded parents pushing their kids out to play the ****ing tin whistle or do their stupid ****ing irish dancing as if anybody else in the room gives a sweet **** about their stupid ugly kids dance routine?

Its a party, so no, I don't want to have to stand quietly watching some boring kid just so I can then get the pleasure of lying through my teeth telling some smug prick how "talented" she is.

Guitar wanker is definitely a wanker, but he is only surpassed by Sean Nós Wanker. He who demands silence so he can mutilate some song thinking he has a great voice. Smug levels are pretty high for this guy.

Agreed. Some Rhianna-diddley-idley fusion perhaps.

As I came home on Monday night, as drunk as drunk could be, I called my wife and said to her, would you kindly stand under my umberella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh, under my umberella

Funny how it's always Rihanna vs. Diddley-idley. If only there were a third type of music.

There is in fact two other types, country AND western.

Depend on your definition of buzzing really.
Standing around talking about football/work/college etc while listening to someone elses choice of 'boom-boom' music on a too loud or too low stereo isn't everyones cup of tea earlier.

Never been to a party in a one room house yet !!

Most house parties I've been to tend to be spread between a sitting room or two, the kitchen and an outside smoking area and there's usually a different buzz in each area. If I want to talk ****e you'll find me in one area, if I want to enjoy a sing-song I could be in another.

Preference??? The sing song. I can smoke, talk ****e and listen to crap piped music 365 days of the year. The party sing-song usually means I'm pissed and in good company that I wouldn't normally be with. Only happens a few times a year so I tend to enjoy it when it does !!

Having said that...... There are some serious Guitar **** out there. I've no problem with the fellas that are having a laugh themselves and couldn't give a toss about who's singing or what key they're singing in. It's the "Sssssshhhh...listen to me and how good I am " brigade that might drive me away from it. That's when you lose the party vibe.

Love the auld sing along with the guitar. You can't bate it.

I thought Riverdance was supposed to corner that demographic?

Sometimes I bring my accordion to house parties and play trad with other people there on varying instruments including but not limited to tin whistles, fiddles, banjos, flutes, guitars, etc.

Stance?

My stance is as far away from that party as possible.:pac:

It's ****ing annoying. Maybe later on when things are winding down, but seeing Johnny attention seeker break out the acoustic as early as he can would wreck your head.

Actually love a sing song at a party. Like anything, it's a free country. Nothing stopping one leaving if they don't like it.

This thread made me happy, nobody ever says this at the party, it's always shhhhh, he's really good. Grrrr!

When I did it, I always did it for the tail. There's guaranteed to be one girl there wetting herself for ya the second you pull it out.

I ended up marrying a girl who hated my guitar wankering and I've now gone full circle to just wanting to chat/drink at the house party.

I think the post must have struck a chord with him.
