Alcunhas engraçadas no meio musical
"A Russian dragon: A player whose tempo tends to both rush and drag.
A reverse moose: A cool band with a very unpleasant front-person. (Explanation: On a regular moose, the horns are in front and the ass is in back. In some bands, it’s the reverse.)
A Rolex: A showy drummer incapable of keeping accurate time.
A third for a word: An unethical bit of douche-baggery where producers or artists say they want to rewrite your song before recording it. They then make an unnecessary, minor change and claim a large chunk of the writing and publishing shares for themselves. For example: “Robert, your lyrics are good, but not quite there. Let’s change it to ‘She’s leasing a stairway to heaven.’ That’s waaaaaaay better.”
Billy goat: A singer who often employs a very wide, fast, unpleasant vibrato.
Crossfade dissonance: A disagreeable harmonic discord caused by a musician combining improvisation with cannabis and alcohol.
Clams: Mistakes made during a performance.
One-man clam bake: A performance in which a single band member makes many mistakes.
Friday-night Red Lobster clam special: An entire evening’s performance replete with mistakes played by multiple band members.
Half the fun of being part of any subculture is
having your own language.
Earn while you learn: An unrehearsed, paid gig that forces musicians to discern changes and arrangements in real time as they play.
Facebook foe/Twitter twat: A person who uses social media to post disparaging comments about your band.
Mixing by 2x4: When a front-of-house engineer simultaneously pushes all the faders all the way up, usually near the end of the show.
On/off dynamics: A musician who plays exclusively at full volume (often drummers and/or bassists).
Playing by Braille: 1.Performing on a dark stage where you cannot see your charts and/or instrument. 2. Performing on a drunken stage.
Pitch approximator: A non-fretted instrument: a pedal steel, violin, or Dobro. Used in a sentence: “For the love of cheese, please turn off the pitch approximator in my mix. I’m trying to sing here!”
Wire and fire: When you have very little time for a soundcheck—only enough to plug everything in and then dial up the most basic mix before the show.
Plug and play: When you have no soundcheck, just a line check to make sure you’re getting signal to the front-of-house.
Plug and pray/throw and go: Throw your gear up on the deck while the crowd watches, plug in your guitar, and pray everything works.
Strong and wrong: When a player does not know how a song goes but jumps in boldly hoping this confidence will fool the audience.
Skeleton key: A pet riff or lick that a musician uses too often. Used in a sentence: “Sitting through John’s performance was particularly painful tonight. He used that skeleton key riff in every one of his underwhelming solos.”
Ab minor: What you get when you drop a piano down a mineshaft."

Re: Alcunhas engraçadas no meio musical
Dessas expressões, eu só conhecia de antemão a expressão "Russian Dragon", pois ela foi usada numa coluna - Escrita, se não me engano, pelo Ed Friedland - de uma edição antiga da Bass Player americana.

Re: Alcunhas engraçadas no meio musical
Me lembrei de outra (E triste) expressão musical em inglês: "Pay to play" (Pague para tocar)

A utilidade deste tópico seria:
1) Divertir;
2) Apresentar estas expressões, que, ao menos p/ mim, são novas;
3) Estimular os membros daqui a:
3.1) Mencionar expressões similares que eles ou usam ou ouvem sobre este assunto;
3.2) Debaterem ou a compartilharem eventuais experiências com músicos daqueles tipos.
Traduzir aquela coluna seria prejudicial ao entendimento do conteúdo dela, que detém gírias regionais, mas não tive a intenção de gerar nenhum tipo de desconforto ou de desobedecer a regra do fórum que prioriza o uso do nosso idioma, o que reputo fundamental.
Não sei se isto é restrito ao Ceará ou a Fortaleza, mas a "fritação" ou o "shredding" é chamado aqui de "pirulitagem".

Tranquilo, na verdade aqui até encorajamos conhecimento em língua estrangeira. É que dessas expressões, até pra quem fala Inglês, poucas são conhecidas mesmo...
Depois vou tentar contribuir com algo.

Re: Alcunhas engraçadas no meio musical
^ compreendo, sim, alex. eu só aproveitei seu último comentário, p/ justificar este tópico.
às vezes, ao ler algum método, eu sinto falta de um "dicionário musical inglês/português" p/ entender algumas expressões - q não são gírias como as deste post. key, patterns, etc. são tranquilas, mas algumas, nem pelo contexto delas, consigo identificar.
