Drummers and Bassists are the ones who deserve the chicks
We never get any respect -.-
amen to this. never respected >.>
ok so ive dated at least one from each category and definitely respect them all pretty equally. though my longest relationship has been with a guitarist /=
BUT had mad respect for the drummer. are still friends and continues to swear his love to me periodically (mostly when on illegal substances). even though he cheated on me [:
bassist was just a jerk. totally used me /=
vocalist had entirely too many obscure fetishes. o.o
im vocalist AND guitarist in my band
do i get 98% of the chicks now? ^^
i dont care i have a gf and im very happy with her
1 is enough
always
someones girlfriend is standing over their shoulder right now
shoudl add that FINGERPLAYING bassists get even more chicks then guitarists and vocalists xD
women know why :p
BURNSEY???
Sounds like me.
UNLESS you’re a cartoon and in the Gorillaz.
So damn true…
Bass here, Stephen Colbert said it in his book, under worst jobs in the world:
“Being a bass player in a rock band is like making a poorly worded deal with the devil to be a rock star”
Sadly, you’re right, they don’t. But, being a (former) female bass guitarist myself, I automatically look at the bassist first and many of them are much more interesting than the lead singer or guitarist
I’m a female bass player myself, and I have a thing for bass players. Something about them is just amazingly attractive. But you’re right. Nobody ever gives the bassist any respect.
Not a bassist, but I’m right there with you on finding the bassists (and the drummers!) far more attractive than the others.
I remember YEARS ago back when Bush was popular and how everyone was crazy over Gavin Rossdale. I always found it weird that Robin Goodridge was completely overlooked when they looked a lot like each other.
100% freakin right, Beege.
I sing lead AND play drums. The “drums” cancel out the “vocalist”.
That is not good. Get a new drummer and come out from behind the kit so you can interact with the audience like a signer could. You don’t need drums as a crutch if you’re the singer.
Have you ever heard of a band called Cowboy Mouth? They’re from New Orleans. The drummer is also the lead singer, and he puts on one hell of a show. Without him, the band would be nothing. Talk about charisma. If you can be the lead singer behind a drum kit and draw a crowd, I wouldn’t call the drums a “crutch.” That’s spectacular to me.
Seen them a few times (live in the NO area) and they are awesome! Drums are in no way a crutch for him.
Not that I consider them a crutch for any musician. Most drummers I know (personally) are really hot.
Yay for Cowboy Mouth fans! I’m in BR.
I completely agree… idc if the drummer plays simple beats and what not, but if you can sing AND play your pretty much a badass. this coming from a drummer in a metal band
Levon Helm says wut
= )
I don’t know what style of music you play, but you should check out Cowboy Mouth if you haven’t already. Like I mentioned below, the lead singer is also the drummer. Awesome live shows. Always.
Oops, I mentioned them above, apparently, not below. Lol.
That one little sliver for drummers is reserved specifically for Mike Portnoy, who woos the ladies with his sheer awesomeness.
Oh and Its also funny that there isnt even a slice of the pie for keyboards. Hahaha
OMG!! I just got back from a DT show 10 minutes ago!! Most amazingly epic show on Earth. Being a drummer myself, seeing Mike P. in person was by far the most awesome thing ever!
you got it
so true, save a drum, bang a drummer
Sooooooooooooooooooo true! We do all the dirty job.
Sure beats the guy running the soundboard. He just beats himself.
Too true!
Q: What does a sound guy use for birth control?
A: His personality.
wtf r u talkin drummers and bassists get tons of pussy
I’ve heard that from other musicians too. Like the women are so worried about trying to impress the singer that they just go for the bassist and drummers.
All the bands my friends have been in, the vocalist and lead guitar had steady girlfriends and the bassist and drummer were schtupping a different girlie every night or two. This totals about nine different bunches of guys; no idea why I ended up with so many frickin’ musicians around since I’m not one myself.
I still remember the first lead man I ever gigged with, as a bass player. He reassured me that ladies do go for the bass players, it’s just that they get all the -weird- girls.
In other words, right up my alley, heh.
I must be strange, I’ve always had a thing for bass players! (And I’ve showed a drummer how much I appreciated him! tee hee)
I agree with you on the bassists!
Chicks love drummers…they can do five things at once.
You’re damn right we can
.
*Exception* Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
Ringo didn’t get near as much respect as he deserved, but my favorite was always George Harrison.
Except Geddy Lee and Sting. Then again, they also qualify as the vocalists.
Hasn’t Sting been married for like… a long time?
So has Geddy
See “Vocalists.”
And why is he married? Because he got a chick.
Drummers and bassists get chicks… especially the smarter chicks who know what having good rhythm means.
I would definitely prefer a guy who is good with his fingers over simple up-and-down strumming
And this is why my fiancee is a drummer. Mmmmm….
That’s what keyboardists are for. Have you seen any “shred keyboardists” like Jordan Rudess or Jens Johansson live? They’re good with their fingers.
simple up and down strumming? Musicians just aren’t what they used to be, hunh?
That’s why you want a bluegrass artist = )
Yeah, see, this.
I knew joining my friends as a singer was the right decision! Interestingly enough, the bass player and the drummer have girlfriends, while both guitarists and me are flying solo.
This is probably the reason why singers and guitarists have such a reputation of getting all the chicks, because they’re usually not already tied down, so they can have as much fun as they want.
so true.. vocalists get most, so this one is correct, cause lot of bands have 2 guitarists xD
two words: pete wentz.
First thing you need to know about a tone knob on a bass: it’s worthless.
Yeah..Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx never had a chick in their lives.
Exactly what I was thinking too!!
Well when women found out what he did to Pam Anderson they quit thinking he was as cool. He literally ripped her a new one.
This is good news for me.
Yeah, this guy has no clue. The order of who gets laid has always gone: Lead guitar, drummer, vocalist, rhythm guitar, roadies, bassist…everyone knows that. Only time that order is ever changed is for true epitomes of badassness like Tommy Lee, or James Hetfield
Titannica Rules dude!
Meanwhile us keyboardists get zip.
Yep, the slice of the pie cannot be seen by the naked eye.
As a keyboardist, I will gladly do another keyboardist any day. Ketars just add extra sexy points as far as I’m concerned. There is one keytarist I’d do in a heartbeat, but alas he is off limits due to him being my friend and I don’t do my friends.
What about the Keyboarder (Steve Bryne FTW)!?! He should be the smallest portion of the pie
How does talent figure into this?
You really think talent has anything to do with it?
Only the lead singer gets poon; the rest of the band gets the throwaway trim.
You seem to have forgotten Murdoc from the Gorillaz. XD
So true! x)
that was exactly what I was thinking =3
bassists FTW
you are forgetting that hundreds of girls are crushing on pete wentz, and he is a bassist..
Five-string bassist and vocalist here. Yup, girls digg guitarists the most. To bassists, girls usually talk like this: “Why does your GUITAR have 5 strings?”, “Why are you playing with your fingers, don’t you have a pick?” and so on.
Oh and by the way, exception to the rule – Lemmy.
Lemmy sucks. He is a waste of a perfectly good Rickenbacker.
If you don’t think he sucks, compare the Ozzy and Lemmy versions of Hellraiser. Same song, with the only real difference being the vocals.
This is so true.
Of course there are exceptions, but generally speaking it’s right.
Yep, but this graph is basically the same as the ” fame by band member ” one… Kinda logical, though.
I think the best musical person to be is a DJ. You don’t really have anybody to share the spotlight with since drum machines, bass machines, and laptops aren’t even human. Hence you get the attention of all the girls in the scene, many of whom come dressed in virtually nothing to start with.
BTW,
DJ’s aren’t musicians.
The ones who are producers most certainly are. And generally, to be good enough to play outside your city of origin, you must have at least mixes and remixes, if not full producer status.
Go stand by a good DJ and listen to the music while you watch them use the mixer. You’ll soon realise that a mixer can be used as a musical instrument. Also, unlike normal musicians who are limited by their skill on their particular instrument at any one time, DJs have the entire history of recorded sound to use as an instrument. DJs>traditional musicians.
and I’m not even gonna get into the finer points of Turntablism.
Believe me. I’ve got 30+ years as a professional musician. Yes, it is my livelihood.
Here’s some interesting facts for you.
Many musicians learned to read music from their early childhood. Do Dj’s read?
Many have studied it for decades, and have advanced degrees. Do Dj’s?
Musicians are able to analyze what they are hearing. Do Dj’s know form and content? Can they analyze harmonic structures?
Many musicians are able to improvise.
I don’t know of a University or Conservatory that offers a degree in DJ’ing.
DJ’s are simply the entertainers that facilitate the audibility of other artist’s offerings. Just because a DJ messes around on a turntable while recorded music is being replayed, does not constitute an artistic or musical effort on their part.
Now maybe if he played a cowbell along with the track or something it would be different….
Please people, patronize live music. Or we will be overrun with the Electric Slide, Macarena and The Cha Cha slide thanks to DJ’s.
While I completely understand where you are coming from, I think Andrea M. is referring to techno DJ’s, not just someone who plays music at parties. I could be wrong, in which case, shame on you, Andrea, but I think I’m right. Though techno may be an acquired taste for some, it is an actual art form, and I do have respect for it as a musical genre. Look up people like Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, The Crystal Method, among others. If you are a true musician, you should at least be able to respect the artistry of these people, despite your taste in music. My mom was classically trained in voice. She has a Master’s degree, but she respects, and even enjoys all forms of musical talent, even electronica. Have some respect, please.
Henry Homesweet is a perfect example of a ridiculusly awesome techno DJ. look him up on youtube or myspace
The polytech I go to (I’m studying music), they have courses on DJ’ing.
That’s why she said “musical person”
Don’t get me wrong, I do agree with you, I’m not into DJs either. Give me a good live band performance over a DJ spinning someone else’s tracks anyday!
Then I must be weird or something. I like drummers and bass players best. mmmmm…
I’ve just got a thing about watching a drummer play. ;]
How ’bout an overweighted drummer
Accordianists need a whole new chart for how many chicks THEY get.
except not. this is a FAIL.
Your comment? Indeed it is.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
YOU SO FUNNY
never post a comment again
Q. What do you call a drummer whose girlfriend breaks up with him?
A. Homeless.
Q. What did the drummer get on his IQ test?
A. Drool
Q. How do you know the drum riser is level?
A. Drool comes out of both sides of the drummer’s mouth.
Q. How do you know the guy standing on your doorstep is a drummer?
A. He’s delivering a pizza.
win
You’re horrible. +1 for you.
Q. What do you call someone who hangs out with a bunch of musicians?
A. A drummer.
i’m sensing some hostility towards drummers? haha ok so maybe we’re not the smartest of people but atleast we know how to have a good time ; ) and you could come up with something for just about any role in the band.
LSD – Lead Singer Disease (they think the sun shines out of their every orifice)
ADD – Asshole Drummer Disease (yeah we can be assholes)
GAT – Guitarists Are Tyranical (takes over the band and won’t listen to anybody elses idea)
Bass…. well they have enough problems as it is : ) haha
“Why don’t you make like a bass guitar and be inaudible?”
Guns ‘n Roses’ bass guitarist got more chicks than all other members’ chicks together, seriously.
Umm… false. True for bassists but not true at all for drummers. Durr.
My girlfriend thinks sorta the opposite (im a drummer)
Does She Know You’re a Drummer?
LOL
BTW, coincidentally, one of my closest friend’s name is aaron m. too
I always perferred the drummer.
Except For In Fall Out Boy. Everybody Always Swoons Over Pete The Bassist And Kinda Ignores Joe The Guitarist lol
(Well, Probably Cuz Of His Beard LOL)
I <3 FOB
Joe’s pretty awesome, too…but I like Patrick and Andy. They just seem so sweet.
This whole thing is funny.
It’s true, most of the time the singer gets the most. guitarists… not so much. I’ve cleaned house in almost every band I’ve been in, even over the singers… and I’m a bassist.
And to the person who made the “Why don’t you make like a bass guitar and be inaudible?” joke… you must have dog hearing and only hear higher frequencies.
You, clearly, are one of those people who puts on music to kill silence, and has no soul.
Bassist get chicks, but its usually less then the singer/guitar player. The drummer can score them, if he has energy.
Usually the ones who get nothing are the keyboard/sound guy, and the roadies.
Sid Vicious. Nancy Spungen.
John Entwhistle and Eric Clapton’s wife.
The Drummer from Def Lepard and his hand (Only has one, so don’t ask which hand!)
Not sure about this one. I never really had a problem as a bass player.
For all those who say bassists don’t get laid, two words: Gene Simmons
Gene Simmons’ *tongue* get’s laid.
tommy lee… need to add more?
Hm. That song “Rosie” makes it sound like the blue bar should have more action there…
This guy has clearly never been in a band. Girls like guys that have rhythm.
Oh… Larry Mullen Jr.
You beat me to it! Larry is the BEST. But then, that whole band is just pure win (yes, even Adam).
Wait… isn’t Tommy Lee a drummer………………..
Ya I was gonna say what about Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue.
They both banged way more chicks then Mick Mars.
Feh!….
Bass players with Rickenbackers get all the chicks
Not if the guitarist has a shiny white Ibanez JEM.
you know whats good for you my friend
But that’s… TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!
(I’m so sorry.)
Except me and my giant mole.
I married the drummer….
I married a keyboard player.
Nobody married me, where did i go wrong?! D:
Drummer btw.
might have something to do with the age
Pff. Paul McCartney is OBVIOUSLY an exception.
This is why I play keyboard AND sing.
Kind of ironic that you can have the drumsticks, but not the chick.
This comment reminded me of that one episode of “Off Centre” where Chau invented the Chau Project to get laid
Have to agree with the previous posters who dig drummers. I’m dating one right now, and life is good.
Watching him play is pretty hot.
Of course I’m also a bellydancer, so the rhythm really gets me…
I can only get chicks if I don’t tell them I’m a bassist.
What about solo acoustic musicians, they get alll the spotlight, and girls adore them!
They’re guitarists and singers at once, that explains that.
Hey I have one objection to the bassists not getting chicks. Gene Simmons! Pete Wentz! They so are getting Poon Tang.
Gene Simmons sure, but I guarantee half the women hooking up with Wentz don’t even know what he plays.
What about Pete Wentz? Sid Vicious?
Gene Simmons plays bass for KISS.
Yeah, but also is the greatest vocalist of al time…
See, this graph is funny to me because in the classical music world the bassists are the only ones who get laid.
Ah… but us wind and brass players who know how to double-tongue, well… need I say more? I think not!
I also played bass in a rock band for 3 years and didn’t get action, because, well, i was married. So there’s that.
heehee. Thank you for pointing out the fact that some musicians don’t get any “action” because they’ve already got all the action they need by putting a ring on it!
Band players blow.
Celloes–the greatest vibrations between your legs!
Where I live, there is a little musician’s joke.
Why is it better to have a metronome than a drummer?
A metronome stays inside the rhythm and doesn’t sleep with your girlfriend.
LMAO, I’m so using that one later!
Q. How many drummers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. None, they have a machine to do that now.
I’d give anything to be in a Nikki Sixx/Tommy Lee sandwich!!!
These chicks obviously never saw Da Kurlzz from Hollywood Undead
NOT TRUE! Drummers get TONS of girls. maybe not as much as guitarist/vocalists, but this chart is very wrong.
But bass players actually get LESS than the chart indicates….
People use graphs to make it bigger 0_0
My girlfriend walking in usually did it for me.
I used to play bass but now I’m the vocalist and play guitar. I get the best action around either way. I guess you just have to be awesome to do so. So whats up most drummers and bass players… try being awesome sometime!
Another versions gotta be made, a Dave Grohl version.
Seriously, if he werent married with kids, hed get mad pussy
What if the band member happens to be a girl?
Are you trying to imply that girls can’t get chicks too? For shame!
I would think bassists stand a reasonable chance of getting laid. Drummers, OTOH,…
Yet one-man bands get no chicks at all.
I’m a bass player…ambidextrous,so I can use my fingers well with either my left or right hand and every band I’ve played in has had all the members sing at least one song per set…That’s helped keep egos in check and secure pretty good amounts of female attention…
And tell Gene Simmons,Steve Harris,Nikki Sixx or Billy Sheenan that they are supposed to not be getting the attention that I’m pretty sure they recieved over the years…
What about the triangle player?
Sadly its true..but I seem to just have a thing for drummers
That entire bassist section is Nikki Sixx.
True, I am a drummer myself and I agree with that.
I can’t see what’s wrong with us bassists and drummers… I always get upset because of that
You’re right, Beege, drummers should probably get more respect, since the rest of the band would be pretty much lost without him/her. I should know, I’m a guitarist, and it’s hard keeping the beat without a drummer.
drummers do that with rythm ;p
what about sting
a lot of old woman adore him
=3
I play bass and guitar
does that count?
man…why us, bass players are never respected?
Gene Simmons begs the differ
thats true the drumers and bassist r the whole song but…no respect given…
Chick’s will sooner or later find out about us bassist’s quick and dexterous fingers :A
but I do agree with this completely. Especially because a lot dont’ even know the difference between a bass and a guitar. Having a nice Bass intro/outro or solo always helps me get the audience’s eyes, too.
If there’s a cowbellist, nobody else is getting laid. Period.
Ironically the graph of “Band Members Who get STDs” is identical.
HAHAH TRUE
awww usually that’s true
i notice all of them though and go with the one who’s better looking xD
Tommy Lee is laughing his ass off.
And who said the drummer gets all the chicks?
Just like people can only ever remember Bono and the Edge from U2. Some of you are now going “there are other people in U2?” Yeah, you’d never guess though would you?
The interesting girls always go for the bass player. The vapid ones go for the lead singer.
righto. I am a singer and Lead guitarist ( I get the solos hehe ) so does that mean, looking at the Graph, that I get about….90% of the chicks?
Lol.
I might actually add, I played drums in a band for 3 years, and got NO Chicks.
lol
I’m a bass player and never get chicks, but it’s not because I play the bass. It’s due to my awkward social graces and the fact that I am a fat slob. Still, I get more smiles after being on stage than I would waddling down the sidewalk.
As the lead guitar player of a band, i have to disagree. The “‘chick’ food chain” is as follows:
Drummer
Vocalist
Bassist
Manager
Roadie
Lead Guitarist
Keyboardist
Auxiliary Percussionist
Two words:ROB TRUJILLO. *drools* That bassist is one of the sexiest guys I have ever laid eyes on.But then I’m a weird chick.
so true
With out drums and bass the band would fall apart. WHY WONT YOU LOVE US
The keyboard players deserve it all
Its not easy playing keys! 
the outstanding exception here is pete wentz from fall out boy. he’s the bassist, and he’s the only person from the band anyone knows, and that’s because he’s the only attractive one…
FOB are the biggest waste of ELECTRICITY in history.
And Pete Wentz cann’t play bass to save his life.
And i play bass so i know.
I have to say I’ve always found drummers pretty sexy … and they are after all the ones that keep the band in time …
Ken got rocked so hard lol
You obviously don’t know Queen.
lies! the bassist is (almost) always the hottest!
Bassists get the chicks if and only if they play the bass with their pene.
dude. pamela anderson dated the drummer from motley crue
I dated a bassist for like seven months, and one of my good friends is dating a drummer.
I still think my ex bf is amazing, but he would rather be playing his bass or WoW then spend time with anyone else
LOL, this is my soon to be husband minus the coolness of being able to play an instrument
I dunno.
I’ve seen some pretty attractive bassists and drummers.
And it’s true. Fingerplaying bassists get more.
:]
As the bass God, Les Claypool once said; “The bassist is usually the one in the band with the biggest penis”
This graph is a complete lie… Bill Wyman, the Rolling Stones’ bassist, slept with 238 women between 1963-65 to Mick Jager’s 30…
And do not forget, Gene Simmons of Kiss, who slept with thousands of Girls and he is a bassist.
there’s a few excessions.Sid Vicious was the bassist of Sex Pistols,and the most famous of them.Johnny Rotten,Steve Jones who?
Also,Pete Wentz is the bassist of Fall Out Boy.Patrick Stump ,Joe Trohman who?
ok.
bassists are totally underrated. guitarists are overrated. singers are WAY overrated. drummers are pretty good.
the singer already always has a girl, which is why he changes all the lyrics and never shows up to practice on time. the bassist quits because he realizes how ungrateful everyone is. the guitarist gets the most chicks. drummers are… average?
trusts meh.
hey whoa… EXPLAIN PAUL MCCARTNEY!
No way! Drummers and bassists are way hotter than singers and guitarists imo. Whatever, more for me, LOL.
I dated the drummer of a band and my sister dated the bassist. Chyeah.
Hell, after seeing this graph, who would want to be a drummer or a bassist?
