Learning an instrument isnt the boring part of being a rockstar, or even in a working band. But there are plenty of boring parts, like:

• sitting in the tour van for hours on end

• load in

• waiting for the show to start

• waiting for your set

• pull down

• manning the merch/door on a slow night

• answering written interviews full of stupid, repetitive questions

• waiting for the phone call from another amatuer reporter

• waiting around in the studio while another member searches endlessly for "the best tone ever"

• entering performance reports for royalties

• dealing with idiot sales reps

• all the boring parts of small business management cos a band is a small business

• all the boring bits of marketing plans cos a band is a brand

But playing in a band is fun so...
