Mike Birbiglia
So I like having the occasional house party. I like getting all my crew up, getting some booze, putting some music on and everyone chatting and getting to know each other just chillin and .
And a large majority of the time that's how it goes. But occasionally someone will turn up with, of course, a ing guitar.
Some of my friends are in garage bands and so they like to bring their guitars to parties and sit around having a 'jam', but the inevitable result of this is that everyone else at the party feels obliged to sit down, shut up and only open their mouth when a song is finished to tell the player how fantastic it was. You can't really talk over someone playing the guitar because it's rude and I've been told it's rude at my own parties by guitar players. But you can sit down and play a guitar over the top of people talking till they stop and give your ego a nice big wank when you're done. The inevitable result of guitars at parties is the few people who can actually play them becoming the focus of attention.
I've tried asking them not to bring them. They show up anyway. And if you ask them to go and play somewhere else they inevitably turn up in the living room or hallway again.
guitars at parties, guitars should be banned at all parties. Am I alone on this? Because I've received some backlash by banning them.
And why is it the only ing song they know how to play is wonderwall?
TOODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY THAT YOUR Ssomethin..somethin..BACK TO YOU
BY NOW YOU SHOULDA FOUND OUT siszosfs WHAT YOU HAD TO DO
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYBOOOOOODY FEELS THE WAY I DO
*whole party chimes in*

ing kill me
Take notes. Make us proud![]()
wonderwall, high and dry by radiohead, or anything from weezer's blue album. That's the complete catalog for the bag with the guitar at parties.
btw this is the greatest thread ever. and the reason they do it is so that they don't have to actually talk to girls and get rejected. they can just play the ing guitar all night, show how arsty they are, and get the girls all lubed up without having to actually talk to them, for fear they'll show chicks what a cheese they really are.
Don't leave me hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh!
Don't leave me dryyyyyyyyyy!
I would sing this song at a party if i knew how to play
and also those songs are some of the easiest songs to ever play and sing to. 3-4 chords, rinse repeat.
I immediately thought of Duff McCartney...
the obvious answer is to be the guy who says "hey i know how to play too" and then utterly, utterly slays them in a few moments without trying or caring.
"here's the guitar back, keep at it"
I immediately thought of Duff McCartney...
They need the captive audience.
Not to be outdone by "guy who brings his dog to the beach to pick up girls." And there's always the dbags who bring their dog and the acoustic. Drown those s in the ocean.
The most vile instrument ever to be made
Have a certain family member who does this all the time. I guess because he is family it doesnt bother me as much.
Think you nailed it.
Does anyone ask him the bring the guitar or does he just show up with it?
this was the first thing that popped in my head...
this'll do it...
The latter.
Ask to hold the guitar, then throw it into the front yard. Tell the bag to get the out. Grow some balls you sissy little catering gots.
Im the guy who brings the weed to the party. You have no idea how many chicks are lining up to blow me. j/k
Viva beat me to the Animal House toga party scene... that's the first thing I thought of in the OP
(cant browse the internet afternoons at work anymore)
