Instruments. Bill, I'm 14 years old. I suspect I'm one of your younger
listeners. I'm going to learn how to play a new instrument this year. I already
play piano and love the percussive nature of drums, but I also want to be able
to shred a solo. Any suggestions to which would be better to start?
Definitely stick with piano, all right? There are more fucking pianos sitting
around than anything else, okay? So your whole life, if you can just sit down
and just start playing a piano, women will come over to your piano, all right,
like moths to a light. That's a great one to learn how to play.
So definitely don't. Even Tommy Lee said, I wish I stuck with it. You got to
stick with the piano. I'm obviously prejudiced to drums. Drums are the shit.
But if you shred a solo, I don't know. You know what? Maybe guitar. Guitar and
drums are great. Those are both badass instruments.
And piano, like I said, is a very social thing. Your whole life, you'll be able
to sit down, all right? Attract women. And then when you become married and you
become a father, you can sit around playing the, you know, oh, you know, Dasher
and Dancer and Prancer.
Oh, Mike, he's playing the piano. Gather round, children. Common and Cupid, Donner
and Blitzen. You know, you can do your own little jazzy version. But do you
recall?
Yeah, but either way, good on you for learning an instrument, you know, and not
becoming a DJ, even though that's now acknowledged as an instrument. You want
to be able to actually fucking do it. I don't give a fuck. Those DJs are
amazing that they can take little sounds and make it into a song. But at the
end of the fucking day, you know, they're cutting and splicing.
They're more like editing an album while creating it at the same time, which I'm
not going to lie to you. It's very impressive. All right. But there's nothing
cooler than actually being able to play the sounds that those mouse head people
are fucking sticking together. Wouldn't you agree?
Yeah, drums are cool as shit. I don't know what to tell you, but you already
play piano, man. So you got that ear. Yeah, guitar. I would try. I would try
him out. But don't give up playing the piano, man. That's a great one. It's a
great one to play. Unless you're in a heavy metal band and they're all fucking
rocking out and you're sitting there with the keyboard. That's a tough one.
That was always a tough one.
It was always a tough one to try to fucking headbang when you're behind a
fucking keyboard. Oh, we're halfway there. Right? Those guys in Journey. I'd
actually like to learn how to play the piano. You know? But I just have too
much sympathy for my wife. I wouldn't do it. Hey, let me tell you. I can play
drums with the piano. I'll tell you that's a little rough.
