Offline Since it was Independence Day an hour ago, I’ll do an America-related one:
At sports games and other public events when singers sing the national anthem and they put all these little spins on it. They add all these extra notes and extend notes and put in little ad-libs and screw with it in other ways. The national anthem is fine how it is. Nobody came to see you sing or get creative. The national anthem ideally should be a minute and a half maximum (and I’m being generous). Don’t turn it into a five minute song. Shut up and get on with the ballgame.

Side note: to be clear, I am aware that The Star-Spangled Banner technically has more than one verse. I’m not talking about that. Only the first verse is sang in nearly every public performance of the song and most Americans (myself included) only know the words to the first verse. The one-verse version that most Americans know should last a minute and a half, not the full thing.

I completely agree. Get a load of these guys trying to turn it into a mediocre pop song.
The players and audience members look depressed having to listen to it.

Offline As an Irish person, potatoes are the best vegetable known to mankind. We are not worthy of it.
(My favourite is either Kerr’s Pink or Golden Wonder)
To further stereotype ‘the Irish 
potatoes”- in primary school we had an entire class dedicated to learning about the different types of potatoes, and whether they’re best for baking, frying, mashing, boiling etc.

Offline Some guitar related pet peeves:
1. Gibson necks
As you may or may not know, Fender made a great choice when they decided to use bolt on necks on their guitars, most notably the Stratocaster and Telecaster. On the other hand, Gibson decided to use glued in necks which makes it a lot harder to replace the neck if it gets broken or if you just simply want to swap out the neck. The funny part is that Gibson necks break a lot more than Fender ones because there headstock is at more of an angle and tends to split more often.
2. Fender Telecaster Elite
Back in 1983 Fender released Elite models for the Strat, P Bass, and Tele. While the Strat and bass models look like a cool upgrade to your average Fender, here’s the Fender Stratocaster Elite for an example.
Doesn’t look too bad, it looks like they add pickup covers, revamped the tremolo system, moved the input jack to the side of the guitar, and gave us 3 new switches.
Now look at the Telecaster version
That sure is one ugly guitar, the body shape looks like a Telecaster but within it looks like a messed up Les Paul. First of all, who thought it was a good idea to have the pickguard go on like a sticker, electric guitar pickguards should be screwed on, not stuck on like a sticker using adhesive. Also, the pickguard and pickup design is abismol, i hate how the pickguard looks like a Les Paul one and why is the bridge pickup not at an angle like on the Stratocaster variant.
3. People who will only replace the strings that are broken
When a string breaks on a guitar, it’s the guitar telling you that you need to replace the strings, don’t just put a new high E on there, take off all 6 strings and replace them if one broke. Also, using old strings can lead to intonation problems that will be fixed once new strings are put on the guitar.
4. Gibson guitars being played clean, specifically solid body ones
Gibson guitars should be played with some gain, whether it be with an overdrive/distortion/fuzz/boost pedal or from natural overdrive from a tube amp being played loudly. Gibson guitars sound awful clean, especially in the bridge position. If you want to play clean electric guitar, buy a Fender Stratocaster.
5. Fender and America
Fender should stop making guitars in America and move everything over to Mexico because it’s cheaper and MIM Fender guitars sound just as good as American ones to me.

I feel with you! Recently in a concert, I had to play the leading part with the melody in an arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody for several saxophones. Although I was really trying to hide it, it must have been apparent how much I hate the song because my teacher kept saying ‘You have to feel the music. You have to put your soul into this piece.’ To be honest, I can think of better pieces to put my soul into.

I hate when people play this song publicly, and then act like I’m mass murderer when I ask to change it. No matter how complex the music is, it isn’t a good song.
