An Anthropoligist was researching the deep regions of Africa when he started to hear drums. He asked his guide what this meant. The guide's reply was "Drums good...Drums stop BAD!"

Days later while away from camp the drums stoped. The Anthropoligist ran back to camp to find his guide in a fetal position with his hands over his ears. "What now!" cried the Anthropoligist.

"Bass Solo!"

This one is funny... yet shouldn't be offensive to most musicians.

A rabit and a snake ran into eachother on a pitch black night. Not being able to see, they tried to identify eachother by touch. The snake went first. "You're warm, fuzzy, and you have big ears. You must be a rabit." The rabit said "You're cold, slimey, and have no ears. You must be a record producer."

And one of my favorite guitarist jokes...

Why are a guitarists fingers like lightning? They never strike the same spot twice.

(based off a thread at another forum)

How many recording engineers does it take to change a light bulb?

answers:

Recording Engineers don't change light bulbs. That's the assistant's job.

I think they'll fix it in the mix

I get tired of these vague questions that are impossible to really answer. Are we talking about halogen, tungsten, flourescent and most importantly what is the budget?

The engineer hands the light bulb to the lead singer and watches while the world revolves around her...voila!

Best get a qualified electro-technician. After all, someone else pays. And you can have a coffee.

Any decent engineer doesn't need light, he knows where everything is and he doesn't need to read any stupid labels or numbers. Use your ears, not your eyes!

"Don't buy a bulb just yet. Studio Projects is about to come out with a new bulb that is much cheaper, yet can hang with the most expensive bulb. Of course, I am speaking here not as the president of Studio Projects, but just giving my unbiased opinion..."

The bulb's not out, it's just muted

One, but it will take 20 small adjustments after the fact to get it just right.

When I started in this business, we didn't have light bulbs, just candles...But seriously, you might wanna look at the "light radiation patterns" before you run out and buy any lightbulbs. If the light bulb isn't placed right, it won't put out the light you're expecting. Often, placement is more important than wattage. Move in close and you can actually reduce the wattage needed...Also, watch for room nodes that can actually create dark places in the light pattern...I plan to do a full test on some of the less expensive Chinese light bulbs in the near future.

I hear Ethan Winer is nearly ready to release his new design for a portable "Dark Trap"

A digital or an analog bulb? Is a toob light warmer?

What about those new digital lightbulb modelers... ?

Here are a few (you've probably heard them, but they're not posted here, so...)

Q: What's the difference between a guitar player and a savings bond?
A: The savings bond will eventually mature and earn money.

Q: What's the definition of perfect pitch?
A: Tossing a banjo into a dumpster and it lands on an accordian

Q: How do you know when there's a harmonica player at the door?
A: He doesn't need a key; he just comes in whenever the hell he feels like it.

Q: What's the range of a double bass?
A: Depends on who's throwing it.

Q: What's the difference between an onion and an oboe.
A: Nobody cries when you slice up an oboe

A singer comes into the dressing room just before the third set, and finds the guitarist and bass player at each others throats. "get over it", he says, "we've got to finish the show". The bass player says "but this idiot detuned one of my strings". Singer says "so just tune it back up and forget about it". The bass player says "yeah, but he won't tell me which one it is!!!""

Hey....I'm a bass player.
Strangely, I'm also in the lighting industry!

Okay:

How many guitar players does it take to change an incandescent A-lamp (sorry, force of habit)?

One, they don't like to share the spotlight.

How do you make a french horn sound like a trombone?
Take your hand out of the bell, and play all the wrong notes.

A singer comes into the dressing room just before the third set, and finds the guitarist and bass player at each others throats. "get over it", he says, "we've got to finish the show". The bass player says "but this idiot detuned one of my strings". Singer says "so just tune it back up and forget about it". The bass player says "yeah, but he won't tell me which one it is!!!""

....The rhythm guitar player says, "Oh, you idiot. It's when all the strings are the same tension"
"NO NO NO," says, lead guitar player, "it's when all the tuning pegs line up"

A drummer, who is sick and tired of being the butt of jokes decides he will take up a different instrument.
He goes to the local music store and learns that they are having a sale on accordians. After looking at a few he tells the salesman he is interested in purchasing the large red accordian leaning against the wall.
The salesman says "hey you're a drummer aren't you?" to which the drummer replies "well yeah, but how did you know that?"
"Easy, that's our radiator." replies the salesman.
