This list of 54 Great Lies Of Rock ‘n Roll was found rolled up in an empty Heineken bottle backstage at the legendary CBGB’s in New York and in this Music Biz Weekly Podcast, Michael Brandvold / Jay Gilbert have some fun running through the list, which sadly is still incredibly relevant decades later.
The Great Lies Of Rock ‘n Roll The booking is definite. Your check is in the mail. We can fix it in the mix. This is the best dope you’ve ever had. The show starts at eight. My agent will take care of it. I’m sure it will work out. Your tickets are at the door It sounds in tune to me. Sure, it sounds fine at the back of the hall.
The place was packed. We’ll have you back next week. Don’t worry, you’ll remember the headliner. It’s on the truck. This coke hasn’t been cut. My last band had a record deal, but we broke up before recording the album. Someone will be there early to let you in. I’ve only been playing for a year. I’ve been playing for twenty years. We’ll have the flyers printed tomorrow. I’m with the band. The band drinks free. You’ll get your cut tonight – no problem. He’ll work the door for us tonight. You’ll have no problem fitting that speaker cabinet in trunk of your car. There’ll be lots roadies when you get there. I know we’ll get some applause after the next tune. We’ll have plenty of time for a sound check. This is one of Jimi’s old Strats. We’ll definitely come see you play tonight. You can depend on me. You won’t have to play any requests. We have this great gig in Vegas next month. The other band will be glad to let you use their PA. I am singing on key – the PA’s screwing up. Sounds good to me. You won’t have any trouble finding the place. I’ve played there before. We can turn down the volume if it’s too loud. I just use this little amp for small gigs – I’ve got a Marshall stack at home.
Honestly, that’s the truth, it’s not fabricated or made up at all, no embellishment, total facts, apart from the facts that might not be %100 true!
I know your mic is on.
