You Know You're Too Old To Play Rock Gigs When:

Posted 2008-03-25 16:21:51


  • It becomes more important to find a place on stage for your fan than your amp.


  • Your gig clothes make you look like George Burns out for a round of golf.


  • All your fans leave by 9:30 p.m.


  • All you want from groupies is a foot massage and back rub.


  • You love taking the elevator because you can sing along with most of your playlist.


  • Instead of a fifth member, your band wants to spring for a roadie.


  • You lost the directions to the gig.


  • You need your glasses to see the amp settings.


  • You've thrown out your back jumping off the stage.


  • You feel like hell before the gig even starts.


  • The waitress is your daughter.


  • You stop the set because your ibuprofen fell behind the speakers.


  • Most of your crowd just sways in their seats.


  • You find your drink tokens from last month's gig in your guitar case.


  • You refuse to play without earplugs.


  • You ask the club owner if you can start at 8:30 instead of 9:30.


  • Your gig stool has a back.


  • You're related to at least one member in the band.


  • You don't let any one sit in.


  • You need a nap before the gig.


  • After the third set, you bug the club owner to let you quit early.


  • During the breaks, you now go to the van to lie down.


  • You prefer a music stand with a light.


  • You don't recover until Tuesday afternoon.


  • You hope the host's speech lasts forever.


  • You buy amps considering their weight and not their tone or cool factor.


  • Feeling guilty looking at hot women at the bar because they're younger than your daughter.


  • You can remember seven different club names for the same location.


  • You have a hazy memory of the days when you could work 10 gigs in 7 days and could physically do it.
