Deathside Posted 11 September 2006 Posted 11 September 2006 I've always been of the opinion that most keyboard players look stupid - Mainly because it's not easy to look cool stood behind a keyboard What seems to happen a lot is that keyboard players try to compensate by 'overacting' - Usually jumping around excessively with one hand still on their keyboards Cleaning out my Sky+ hard drive last night I came across an old episode of later with Jools Holland - Recorded because Gogol Bordello were on it - Also on it was a classic example of a keyboard player overacting and generally being a cock The guy in question also does some backing vocals and he ended up leaving his keyboards completely and moving forward from the stage (in front of the monitors) and jumping around directly in front of the cameras with his mic whilst the rest of the band looked embaressed The band in question was The Automatic
Alexikokopops Posted 11 September 2006 Posted 11 September 2006 YES HAHAHAHA, SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!?!?! For the record I don't really have an opinion on Rick Wakeman's cockishness.

I thought about an exception list but in the end didn't bother - The ones I thought of were Dave Greenfield Jools Holland Les Dawson

Nationwider Posted 11 September 2006 Posted 11 September 2006 Genius. In awe I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebon void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought...I must put a roof on this lavatory.Tommorrow it's the mother-in-law's funeral...and she's cancelled it. I can always tell when the mother in law's coming to stay; the mice throw themselves on the traps. The wife's Mother said, "When you're dead, I'll dance in your grave." I said: "Good, I'm being buried at sea." I took my mother-in-law to Madame Tussard's Chamber of Horrors, and one of the attendants said, 'Keep her moving sir, we're stock-taking' I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said 'Are you going to help?' I said 'No, Six should be enough."
Craig Posted 11 September 2006 Posted 11 September 2006 Pennie from the Automatic is actually a top bloke, very quiet, dunno what gets into him when he's on stage tho
The People's Hero Posted 11 September 2006 Posted 11 September 2006 I had a mate called Kenny who played keyboards. Kenny the Keys we used to call him. Or should I say I used to call him. Dunno what happened to him. He was a bit funny looking though.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 12 September 2006 Posted 12 September 2006 Kieran from The Cooper Temple Clause is a cool keyboard player.
Dr The Singh Posted 12 September 2006 Posted 12 September 2006 Surjit Sahota from the Sahota's was class!!! And the keyboard player from the original Pardesi music machine, he was cool!!!!
Deathside Posted 22 September 2006 Author Posted 22 September 2006 Saw a marquee headline on MTV2 yesterday that said: Annoying keyboard player prevents The Automatic from getting a cameo appearance on The Simpsons No idea if it's true
Jordan Posted 22 September 2006 Posted 22 September 2006 Viv Savage from Spinal Tap was OK, so I'm not sure about the generalization that *all* keyboard players are assholes. Anybody who's ever touched a keytar, however, is certainly automatically a douchebag.
