As a bass player I was a token band member, and this thread in honor of my people makes me happy and feel like I didn't waste several years of my life playing bass. jk, bass is such a waste of time, playing upright bass is even worse

The other guy, however, was a complete rear end in a top hat and didn't contribute anything to the band, but the musician dude was a complete beta male, so the rear end in a top hat got to stay in the band anyway and got super rich. I hope this valuable piece of AoB (Ace of Base) knowledge will be of help. E; pouring a forty for all the tambourine players out there. You contribute nothing.

Well he wrote all their music, married the lead singer, was the only one of the group with any ounce of real talent and is the only one with a profitable music career today.

If the bass player in your band is expendable, it is because bass player plays nothing but root notes and has no creativity whatsoever and therefore your entire band is worthless.

The Doobie Brothers had like 3 guitarists, two drummers plus a conga player, two keyboardists, and a vocalist who only sang some songs. They could have done away with half the band and not missed out on anything.

Indy pop bands are the worst though. There's always a kazoo or mandolin player tucked into the band, because the person hanged around long enough/the singer wanted to bone the person enough. Behold this monstrocity of band cancer Band members: Johan Aineland (Accordion, Mandolin) Martin Alfredsson (Synthesizers, Glockenspiel) Mathias Alriksson (Vocals) Marcus Carlholt (Vocals, Costumes) Julie Witwicki Carlsson (Vocals) Philip Erixon (Percussion, Vocals) Anna Fröderberg (Vocals) Olof Gardestrand (Drums) Tina Gardestrand (Vocals, Piano) Tobias Granstrand (Guitar) Mattias Johansson (Saxophone) Fredrik Karp (Saxophone) Micke Larsson (Vocals) Daniel Lindlöf (Guitar, Banjo) David Ljung (Trumpet) Rikard Ljung (Omnichord, Synthesizers) Emanuel Lundgren (Lead Vocals, Guitar) Johan Mårtensson (Vocals) Cornelia Norgren (Vocals) Emma Öhnell (Vocals) Frida Öhnell (Vocals) Erik Ottosson (Tuba) Christofer Olofsson (Piano, Synthesizers) Henrik Olofsson (Bass) Jacob Sollenberg (Clarinet) Jonas Tjäder (Vocals) Johan Viking (Heart and Soul) Jakob Jonsson (Trumpet)

There must be a hundred people on stage when Parliament plays, but they all have an important purpose to the show. I think you have to posses a PhD in Funkology to even be there.

My boss calls me Token because I am the only white guy in our IT department. We don't play any instruments though, so that probably doesn't count.
