The 15 Funniest Things Bands Have Said on Twitter

By Frank Thursday May 6, 2010

The life of a band mainly consists of touring, recording, and goofing off. The lives they lead are a complete contradiction to how society has conditioned us all to live. And yet, there they are, touring the world, being adored by fans, and generally doing whatever the hell they want. Oh yeah, and they Tweet.

I’ve been keeping a keen eye on that good ol’ Twitter machine and have seen some pretty funny shit. So without further adieu, here are the most hilarious Tweets I’ve seen.
