I played the bass.
For all of that 'chicks only want the singer or the guitarists' thing, those of us in the rhythm section did pretty well out of it too, I have to say. Although the singer and guitarist were doing maybe even better.
Make a lot of noise in a band, add in the alcohol we'd all been consuming all evening and there was plenty of pussy on tap for everyone. Our manager (female) disapproved. I'm pretty sure what she saw back then traumatised her for life
I feel sorry for those pale specimens in touch with their feminine side in the deadly-serious 'woke' bands of today. You're up there on stage, playing songs that are all about the gender-bending experience of the non-specific gendered female lead singer, and couldn't even get laid on a chicken farm. Back in the 80s and 90s 99% of us knew we weren't gonna make it in the music biz, so maybe it was best to get what you wanted from the experience - as much pussy as possible.
