There may not be words, but I'll bet there's at the very least one person in this group who would like to have them.

Someone must have really loved GE

enough to spend $700+ to create road cases for them!

Would think the "roadie" cases would be more valuable than the GE machines inside them!

Ever hear of a laundromat?

I'm thinking, with how yellow those knobs are, that the room they were in may have been a bit smoke-filled. Constantly.

Party-on!

LOL

The road cases are cool...however, I would QUICKLY ditch the current set and put a GE Filter-Flo set in their place! I've seen this done with Maytag Neptunes before as well; why is it always the crappy machines??

Yellowing knobs are just one more unattractive quality of an aging plastic GE...though I can understand where they are coming from, because these machines ARE lightweight and easy to move; around 140 pounds for the washer and even less for the dryer!!

Aren't these the GE machines that have a concrete cinder block built into the base to add more weight?

Ahh but the question is, which band used them on tour...?

Having done the band on tour thing and used public laundromats along the way, I have to say it's a darn smart idea for a band to have their own washer and dryer if they have space for it.

I was gonna say it's a band, how difficult is it to have a spare set or two of black clothes, and extra towels.


BUT ITS A BAND. Imagine the body fluids and secretions in the laundry pile?

P.U.

UGH the booze and vomit alone........

Depends on the band. The band I was involved with didn't drink or do drugs, not out of some ideological thing but because they just didn't like it. And they didn't screw around sexually either. Surprisingly there are a lot of bands whose members lead reasonable lifestyles, i.e. even if they drink or smoke pot, they don't do it to excess, and they have families or at least steady GFs/BFs, etc.

So while drunken puke-a-thons might make for news in the gossip pages, reality is often a lot less "exciting."

Though, you definitely work up a hell of a sweat playing live in most venues, and also working the tech side of the gig (which was what I was doing). An extra set of black clothes doesn't solve that. Towels, fortunately, come with hotel rooms:-) You shower as soon as you get in, and then the next day you don't want to put on the clothes you wore the night before if you can help it.

It's only rock'n'roll

As a drummer, I sweated my butt off just as much as the guitar players. Plus I had to unpack, play, pack, and haul the drumset to the van (many trips back and forth). And not to mention I drove the van.

Playing an air conditioned venue (or church in our case) is fine to shed a few pounds, but you really start to melt on the outside gigs. My #1 fan was a 12" Patton industrial fan turned on full blast.

Immortalized is gone but the music lives on.
