You nailed it. :like: :like: :like: :happytrees: :happytrees:
I also wore a lot of Britney Spears t shirts back in the day for the same reason. For every three people it made laugh it really irritated at least one. I enjoyed it.
When I traveled through Viet Nam the French were everywhere and annoying as well so I wore a lovely Club Moruroa shirt wherever we were in accommodation that sprouts Frogs. It REALLY annoyed most of them but the Viet Namese & Australians had a laugh.
It was rather like this image but with the

Club M thing around it.

Lol. Yea. The audio was pretty bad. I couldn't use my dirt pedal that day because of the interference it picked up when I clicked it on. Lol. Whatever. That early in the morning I didn't care.

Honestly, as a bassist, I'd be pretty happy with that for a mix! Lots of bass, lots of vocals. Kick and snare. None of those pesky guitars. Delightful

Jesus... what happened to that guy?

Your singer looks spectacularly unconfident... but I guess having fucking cameras whizzing around you while you're trying to play would do that.

We had also had a load in time of 5a.m. after a night of partying after a show (except the drummer). None of us were thrilled to be doing that at that hour of the day. 5:30am sound check?!!? miss me with that shit! Wildly out of our element lol. :lollers: :lollers:

That's exactly what I was thinking. No way I'm being bright and chipper for a 7 am gig.

Ha, I never knew you were a TV star @WhiskeyJack . Any video that may or may not exist of any band I was in is probably unlistenable, recorded with 1990 handy cams and totally blown out audio from the ridiculous volumes we played in small reflective rooms. So if we sucked, nobody could tell 😃
