- Barman, on 10/14/2007, -2/+577Party on Wayne. Party on Garth
- Error601, on 10/11/2007, -5/+189That was an old joke in guitar shops even before Wayne's World.
- Platysquirrel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+177It's cool, my dyslexia balanced things out.
- canewediggit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+173"no stairway?" denied!
- numeka, on 10/11/2007, -0/+129Be cool. Play "Johnny B. Goode".
- SilentJay74, on 10/11/2007, -13/+138One smart music store owner! I get tired of hearing the posers go in and try to be cool.
- moojj, on 10/11/2007, -10/+126*Under no circumstance, are you allowed to play Stairway to Heaven [PICTURE]
But you get the point. - pwallroth, on 10/11/2007, -4/+107I'll just play I Saw The Sign by Ace of Base instead, far more annoying.
- Lumiras, on 10/11/2007, -4/+102As long as I can play Freebird...we're cool
- mediaspree, on 10/11/2007, -7/+102No Stairway...Denied!
- drafhk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+81Apparently "Crazy Train" is still legit.
- VicTheKnife, on 10/11/2007, -5/+80It's not that they hate the song, it's that they people playing it badly and often.
- CompIsMyRx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+72I didn't see no "Iron Man". Play away.
- StaticRedux, on 10/11/2007, -6/+70I had to read the title at least 3 times before I figured out that the "you" and "are" where switched.
- Fanrir, on 10/14/2007, -1/+57Excuse me? Can I put the fender back now please?
...Not today my good man, I'm feeling...SAUCY! - Wizardo55, on 10/14/2007, -0/+56I think I'll use the "may I help you" riff.
- alexforcefive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+55these typo corrections have to sotp you guys
- frieddonuts, on 10/11/2007, -9/+58It would be more interesting if the sign read, "If you want to try our guitars, you must play Through the Fire and Flames."
- BamaStangGuy, on 10/11/2007, -6/+52I like how you 'fixed' his comment but left in a superfluous comma yourself.
- jokr004, on 10/11/2007, -1/+39some kid with a squire struggling through stairway to heaven is one of the worst noises. not that I disslike zepplin
- LoveWidescreen, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36Get to Guantanamo. They need more torture artists like you.
- pilgrim3970, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36They forgot Metallica's "Enter Sandman"
- moojj, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36**Under no circumstance are you allowed to play Stairway to Heaven [PICTURE] -- There. Happy now?
- MagicBobert, on 10/11/2007, -0/+34For those who haven't see the scene:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HSJGj0HUn8 - LanceWindu, on 10/11/2007, -4/+36Damn, that was the first thing I thought when I saw this. Kudos to beating me to the punch.
- jwpowless, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34One could play "Blister in the Sun" if it wasn't a ***** Wendy's commercial now.
- Protoss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+31Do you take...CASH? CHA-CHING!
- Toshibi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32Turn it inside out and it's ribbed for your pleasure.
- badjoke, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34Wrong movie, pal. That's Bill and Ted.
- techlinks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+32Oh yes because everyone knows that trying to learn guitar and playing popular, easy -ish songs, makes you a poser.
Man some people are jerks. - catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+30The 3rd (and most likely) reason is that it's a Wayne's World joke.
- mjl5629, on 10/11/2007, -1/+29Or "One", "Hotel California", and "Freebird". Thank you.
- Snarfy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28If you truely can play Freebird, leads and all, you are very cool indeed.
- MadHermit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+30When I was working in music stores about 11 years ago, we also added "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to that list. Every employee would get rowdy when they heard any of the songs. It would get pretty ugly.
- BobbyMC, on 07/21/2008, -0/+25As cliche as they are at least short familiar riffs serve a purpose in feeling out a guitar. Playing something like Freebird serves no purpose other than attempting the impossible act of looking cool while playing on a guitar you can't afford.
- OhROFL, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24Worked for Marty McFly.
- BevansDesign, on 10/11/2007, -3/+26People who nitpick about grammar don't know how to be happy. :)
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+21At least they allow Pink Floyd.
- castaspellingB, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20play freebird!
- gwinerreniwg, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21Spot on, doctorsax. As a former music store employee, I must say this:
Absolutely nothing can prepare you for the cacophony of sound that is "Saturday, 12:30PM in (your local music store here) ". Stairway to Heaven is merely one luscious note in the abysmal sea of sound that arises at that time of day, in every music store, worldwide. - baalzebub, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19heh, i can understand the burnout, next time i enter a guitar shop to try out a guitar i think i will play dueling banjos ;p
- LordIllidan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Pfft. I can play that blindfolded with the guitar behind my head.
...
In Frets on Fire. On easy. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20 In some traditional music stores it is :"You will not play Over The Waterfall."
- skinrock, on 10/11/2007, -5/+20"where"?
- lonegeek, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16A guitar sitting in a shop is going to get worn out that quick from a single song?!
Wow, musicians must have to get a new guitar once a month! - actorboy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18Thank God Fly By Night isn't on that list.
- Armagetto, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14The music store in my hometown had a "No tapping or playing of Crazy Train" sign.
- lansuggs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13*Otto
Otto backwards is OTTO...Now are you scared? - Skanadian, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12I bet the equivalent to Stairway in a keyboard shop is Green Onions.
- Rabbethan, on 10/11/2007, -5/+17I bet the stuff you improvise is great...your sooo ***** edgy man! Regular Carlos Santana this man.
