What guy doesn’t dream of rocking out on a woodwind?
It’s a good idea, I adore it.
Oh Noooo!!! It looks like Sam and Dean ate too much of the Horseradish Casserole…
My vote for the song they’re jamming to is “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” which has sax and trumpet through it, and a likely song to have been played at a wedding reception later in the night when everyone is hammered. Or at least a lamea$$ wedding with no dancers, lots of old people and dorky guys like this. LOL.
The saxophone is brass, not woodwind.
Yeah… I know it’s been like 8 months since this comment but it’s a woodwind. The sound comes from a reed. Reeds are wooden. Hence, woodwind. The sax is very similar to other single-reed instruments like the clarinet.
Brass instruments get their sound by the player vibrating his lips, not from a vibrating reed.
Fun fact: flutes are woodwinds, too, even though there’s no reed or wood involved. They used to be wooden.
“THE POWER OF LOVE, IS A CURIOUS THING, MAKES A ONE MAN WEEP, AND THE OTHER ONE SING, CHANGE YOUR HEART, TO A LITTLE WHITE DOVE, MORE THAN A FEELIN, THAT’S THE POWER OF LOVE!”
While the subject is nicely positioned perpendicular, the background is in a dutch angle. It’s a very clever distortion – almost a drunken feel – like the gentlemen. And what is the dude at the far left looking at?
I thought at first he was just getting ready to blow chunks! Thanks to the caption, I was quickly set straight.
Clearly what’s going on here is that Grandma (seated on the right in the background) ate the cake, the flowers, the bands’ instruments, the bride and the groom and half the guests. And look out….she’s not finished yet!
thats hilarious! i didnt even notice that! well spotted!
That’s actually not hilarious at all.
Jerk.
oh look ..some one dint find that hilarious and signed off as Jerk!
Nev- made me laugh out loud!
the guy in the front looks freakishly similar to a guy I went to high school with that actually played in a really cool band, and he did a wonderful cover of Toxicity by SoaD.
Quarterflash, harden my heart….
Most definitely “The Heat Is On” by Glenn Frye. You just have to do the air sax on that one.
I was thinking something by Huey Lewis and The News
I was totally thinking Jethro Tull.
Billy Ocean Forever!!!
WOOP WOOP!
Check out the chick on the right.
this photo is a new classic. my desktop wallpaper. i can’t look at it without having my day brightened
It’s been my desktop wallpaper, ever since i’ve seen it, TOO! The composition, and where all the people in the photo are, makes it THE BEST. Especially the guy laughing in the background, can’t help but feel good.
It’s so true. That picture was taken at my brother’s wedding. I’m the a*****e who looks like he’s throwing up and he’s rocking out right next to me…. what a day.
What’d his bride leave already??
Aqualung or Locomotive Breath?
Neither…both have a flute! (There are some hysterical concert videos of them on YouTube, check it out.)
I like that it’s not just one guy – what about his back-up guy?
Forget Guitar Hero. I’m running out to buy Clarinet Hero right now!
Check out CELLO HERO too, it rocks!!
I think the big guy sneezed on the skinny one.
adam, this made me laugh so hard I almost spit granola out. it would be to that song too.
I hope you were eating granola
