My mom's....worried?

Heh, we had our first proper playing today. Just some Blink 182 stuff. And as soon as I got home, I wanted to play some more then realised my guitar was out of tune when i got it out the bag. I plugged it into the tuner and what did I do? I snapped the fucking D string! GAH! I only got it very recently! Now I gotta go into town tomorrow after I finish school (FOREVER! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!) and pick up a new string! GAH! Well, I'm really enjoying bass. Also, I am NOT a twat for playing bass thank you very fucking much for your fucking pointless annoying comment. My band (my best friends) needed a bass player and bass is as important in a band as a drummer is. Without bass, bands would be fucking **** everywhere!

Uh...sorry.

 

[UltraMatt]

Uh...sorry.

Don't worry. I wasn't having a go at you. It was aimed at Shougo. Grrr....judging bass players. The main reason a band decides t split up is because they either think they can't do it anymore or decide they hate each other. No bass player in any band thinks they're better than any other member. K?!

the bass takes a week to learn and every bass player throughout the history of rock 'n' roll is a freeloading asshole who, ironically, is the one who always thinks they're the one doing most in the band, whines, leaves the band, breaking it up.

Actually, I've always thought the bassist was the one guy that either sucked at everything else or was just too lazy to take the time and effort to get good at the guitar and settled for bass, yet still got as much tail and popularity as the rest of the band members. And they usually have bad (or no) hair. No offense to anybody here, but I think bass is a joke. It's not exactly a challenge to play, and there's not really a need for it. The drums can set the rhythm and tempo, and keep the band on beat, and since you can hardly ever hear the bassist anyway, I just don't see the point. I love it when the bassist is picking (or getting even more hardcore.... slapping!) the strings at 1/9 the speed the lead guitarist is playing and starts headbanging. :laugh:

Thanks, Bolt, for understanding my post. This thread also proved another one of my theories -- bass players are crybabies. Bass players are an insult to actual guitar players everywhere. You can have a mentally challenged chimp on bass and get the same results.

Another thing I hate -- singers who aren't swift enough to sing and play guitar, but try to compensate by taking up a lame "instrument" that, like the bass, requires no skills, such as the tamborine, harmonica, triangle or maracas. Well, just sing then, douche!

Another thing I hate-- singers who can't actually sing and they know it, so they contort their voices into horrible sounding wails like those of the dying, to try to sound "unique." **** you, if you cant sing, get someone who can. U2's Bono and the bitch from Coheed and Cambria are good examples of this.

Bono's voice used to be good, on some early U2 stuff. What bugs me about him is that he thinks his voice was sent from Heaven. Really, the guy goes on about how great and God-like his voice is. But, I know what you mean. Like Axl Rose...possibly the worst vocals in terms of screeching and trying to be "unique."

Speaking of voices, I might as well go off on this rant, now. I hate these fake punk bands who have these ultra-femme sounding singers. Yes, nothing screams punk quite like these nad-less twits from the likes of "Bowling for Poop," "A Simple Plan," "Blink 182" or whatever the hell the dumb band names they choose are. And when are people going to learn punk died a screeching death in the 80s?

I have to say, one band that makes me laugh my balls off is "My Chemical Romance." Ugh...whatever genius signed these idiots, I hope they realize that the punishment shall be severe for them...in the afterlife! They'll be forced to listen to nothing but songs from the catalogue of "My Chemical Romance" with only the Magiranger ED to provide any intermission.

Now now now, no one alive has ever done THAT. 100% obeyed their parents on everything? The Stepford children maybe...

It's healthy to disagree with the rents and disobey them every now and then, just don't take it overboard, and for god's sake, don't get caught.

I dunno, I think the Offspring was one of the best, if not THE best, punk bands of all time, and they kept it alive (to a less "hardcore" degree, meaning they didn't bitch and whine like most punk bands about "fucking the establishment" and how The Man was trying to hold them down because they were unique and wouldnt allow them to legally buy the LSD that leads to their music) throughout the 90's and the early 00's, although people hardly pay any mind to them anymore. It's all P-Unit, Sars Volta, and Bad Charlotte nowadays.
