With the Bears temporary absence I thought I'd pick up the torch & tell a crap joke. A producer & engineer head out to Africa to do some recording for a World Music album. They arrive at the village & assemble the local musicians but all they can hear is the drumming from the next village, upon enquiring the producer is told, "when drums stop, terrible things happen" They try to proceed with the recording but these drums are spilling everywhere "can't we get them to stop" says the producer, "When drums stop, terrible things happen" came the reply. The frustrated producer & engineer try screening off the musicians but to no avail. Then the producer, at his wits end throws his headphones to the floor & pronounces that he's going to the next village to get then to stop, "No boss, when drums stop, terrible things happen" the producer replies "what can be so terrible?" the local replies, "When drums stop, bass solo starts"

Good one.

Brahahaha! I had to send this to my drummer and bassist.

On the principle that one bad joke deserves another, here's your deserved retaliation:

A team of anthropologists was traveling to a remote village in Africa to study the language and customs of the local tribe. They had to journey several days upriver, and when they finally arrived, the sound of jungle drums was everywhere, making it difficult for the scientists to converse with each other, let alone communicate with the tribespeople. After several hours, one of the anthropologists could take it no longer and put his hands over his ears, screaming, "I can't stand those drums another minute!" A native's head popped up from behind a tree and shrugged apologetically, "He's not our regular drummer."

And speaking of bass solos, a drummer friend of mine was fond of telling this one:
Q: Why is a bass solo like a premature ejaculation?
A: You can tell when it's about to happen and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it.

What gang initiation is so heinous that even the most heartless bangers can't bring themselves to do it?

A drive-by trombone solo.

Live sound engineer joke: " What's the difference between a toilet seat and a Monitor Engineer?" A: The toilet seat only has to deal with one a##hole at a time!

Thanks for carrying the torch Tony, that was really funny.

Thanks Bear & I wish you a period of stability in your life. Bear, in no way was I suggesting that that your jokes are crap

What do you call someone who hangs around musicians? A drummer

When these jokes were new, Santa Claus didn't have a beard yet.

Hey, everyone here seems to love vintage guitars --- why not vintage jokes too?

Be careful with that joke, Ratrod... it's an antique
