"My guitar player"

[shark_bite]

Does it weird you out when people call you that?

It weirds me out a little.

[The Kid]

Nah. Not really. Unless they're clutching me as they say it...

[stevorc321]

Yep - a singer we were tring out for a bit kept saying that. Weird.

[KRosser]

No, I find it endearing most of the time

if they're putting gigs on my diary, they can call me bob for all I care...

[coreybox]

Most people here say "my bassist" or "my drummer"

[Dexter.Sinister]

No, its sweet. I call my colleagues "my _____" also. Very common to speak like that in France, also (putting "my" before somebody's first name).

But I think I get what you're saying.

I'm a fan of our guitar/bass/keys player.

[GCDEF]

Doesn't bother me.

[Rayneman]

I always say "our band," "our singer" etc...

Similarly, I say "our house," or "our bedroom" where my wife (and her family) would say "my house" and "my bedroom."

Therefore, since I do not believe that my wife is trying to imply complete ownership of these things (hmmmm) it doesn't bother me though I think it does sound a bit wierd.

I am called "my *something else*" usually...

[Tuberattler]

As long as it's used to speak of some high praise I don't mind, but turn it around to diss me and you'll get PUNKED!!

[SpaceFlunky]

Is that my drummer? Why don't you get your arse down here?


Don't ever call me "your drummer" again. You're my ****ing singer.









"our" drummer got mad at me after i called him "my drummer" one time. So now to try and not offend him i call him "the drummer"
I dont know what the big deal is. I mean i just want to play music.

[shark_bite]

Well... I play with one guy who's also a pretty good friend, and if we're out somewhere completely outside of the musical thing I still get introduced (usually to friends of girls he's taken an interest in) that way. It must be part of the "hey I'm in a band" mentality. But there is also has a weird air of subordination... "this is my employee" sort of. Couldn't it just be "we play in a band together" or something?
