Bad habits you've developed from being a musician

[Luke Acacia]

My girlfriend will tell me that dinner is ready and I will keep playing guitar until its cold every night!

 

[The Reverend]

I also do the pig-squealing thing. I also add metal vocals to songs. I use the "errrrrrr-OH!" a lot, the "ewwwwaaaahhhhhhhhhh" sometimes, and the epic "BANG YOUR FUCKING HEAD" constantly during the last few bits of the bridge leading to the last chorus.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Anytime some awesome part in a particularly br00tal song is coming, I say in a Kermit the frog voice "Let's open this pit up!". I then flail my arms in front of me and yell "MYAAAAAAAAH"

 

[tacotiklah]

One thing I love to do when everyone is looking quiet and serious is just randomly start flailing my arms, moshing and headbanging like I'm at a Cannibal Corpse concert, even though no music is playing at all. It's good exercise and the horrified looks are priceless.

You sir are lying out of your lying lie hole full of fuckin lies.

Genetics make me shake my legs, add a good amount of years of metal to it and Im tappin my feet at 7000bpm I make the guitar faces while air guitaring to juicy solos (Some vai or govan its over man) I can be a dick about friends liking cheesy or "sheep food" music. And the worst of all, I'm attached to forums that have instilled me with GAS of ungodly belief haha.

Constant analyzation, earphones always in, practicing instead of exercising, being a bigot.

 

[goldsteinat0r]

I cant listen to a CD without raping the repeat button on a drum, bass, or guitar part that just kicks all kinds of ass, i have to hear it again

My drummer does this sometimes in the car and I get madbro.

 

[Sephiroth952]

My turn signal clicker is a metronome, and it makes me annoy everyone else in the car when my steering wheel becomes a drum.

 

[Stealthtastic]

I tell all the kids how the music they listen to is generic, 4/4, allegro tempo, basic, dumbassery with the simplest overused song structure of: Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, outro, variation utilizing basic kick snare drum patterns that have been used by hundreds of bands. While the guitar work (if any) also has the most simplistic chord progressions that have also been used 458976289734 times by tons of other bands, because these front leading "musicians" are generic molestors of the arts.

 

[Heroin]

making guitar riffs with my mouth, random death metal growls/high pitch screams, and double bass pedal-ing I'm pretty sure there's a few people that think I'm autistic at this point

 

[Tommy]

I overanalyze any music and critic it. I hum, whistle, and do growls all the damn time. I also "tap" out riffs with my fretting hand, drives people nuts.

To be fair, this is a metal-centric site, so we could've just assumed as much without even reading this thread .

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

honestly before this thread i thought i had ADHD because of how much i do all of this

i also noticed that i now do double bass in conjunction with my right hand playing the bass lines and using my rhythmic teeth chattering to do the rolls for the drums.

 

[Konfyouzd]

I also walk around bobbing my head to music that isn't actually playing... Or start air drumming for no reason and I'm not a drummer...

 

[iRaiseTheDead]

I cringe when I hear something I don't like.

 

[IRequirezANewHOST]

I cringe when I hear something I don't like.

Used to. But now I'll try to find something to like about the stuff that makes me cringe because I try to keep an open mind out for other people's musical taste.


No hope for Nicki Minaj <_<

 

[Beat Poet]

Mine is not washing regularly. Well obviously I do, but if I'm doing a particularly heavy recording during the day or a gig that night, I'll wait until afterwards to wash!

 

[Maniacal]

Main issue for me is becoming incredibly reclusive. I put this down to too much practice, writing books and getting my teaching business up and running.

Now I simply sit in my cave......shredding
