[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff]it all depnds on how much you practice it.

and are you talking about the second part of the intro where he slaps each string open then hammers? for some reason i find that more difficult than the double thumbing.[/QUOTE]
thats only hard for me because its hard to keep the other strings from still ringing after you move on up

practice playing it not slapping first, that will help your left hand adapt to it.

victor wooten solo,
and at the drive in kicks some major major ***, but mars volta does also , sparta is questionable

[QUOTE=neal_672]W00t ATDI rule :thumb:[/QUOTE]
they certainly do.
too bad they broke up and although forming two more pretty good bands, The Mars Volta and Sparta, neither one is as good as At The Drive-In.

you knows wuts a great bass line? you oughta know- by alanis morseitte.

lol i thouyght you said you didnt like emo or any of that , atdi is classified as emo core

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]you knows wuts a great bass line? you oughta know- by alanis morseitte.[/QUOTE]
yeah i agree, i saw them do a live show on tv , and i checked out the bassist hes pretty creative

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff]they certainly do.

I personally prefer TMV to ATDI, but Sparta come below them both...

atdi is classified as emo core , your so emo haha

[QUOTE=Mr. Jiggy Fly]you knows wuts a great bass line? you oughta know- by alanis morseitte.[/QUOTE]
heh, i haven't heard that song forever, mainly because i don't like her, but whenever it was that that song was big it was always on the radio.
so, i don't know anything about the bassline in the song.

on the record flea played you oughta know.

Yeah i was gonna say, Flea has played for her sometimes...

hmm i didnt know that

i, in no way, see how they are emo.
Sunny Day Real Estate is emo, Dashboard Confessional is emo. At The Drive-In kicks [COLOR=White]a[/COLOR]ss.
i've also seen them classified as punk and metal, so classifications don't always mean much.

never even heard of sunny day , dashboard sucks. they were the pioneers of the emo core genre (according to mtv, bleh) but if you want bands like them from that genre check out:
Rites of Spring, Embrace, Gray Matter, Ignition, Dag Nasty, Monsula, Fugazi kind of, Fuel, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, Elliot, Friction, Soulside, early Lifetime, Split Lip/Chamberlain, Kerosene 454.
this is the genre they are put in , so there are going to be some similarities between them and these bands so hey have a good time
EDIT: let me add in , these are all the emo core bands from the 80's-90s

Classifications are irritating, people spend so lon g deciding if they're "emo" or whatever they forget to just enjoy the music

i'm gonna go watch tv.
i'll be back later tonight.

i usually dont use classifications farther than emo or screamo. but i figure since im trying to get spaceman to listen to more music i can use them for now

one last comment before i go...

i listen to lots of different music, it just that are are types of music that don't appeal to me. of the bands you listed, though i don't see how Fugazi fits in there, i have heard them and Hot Water Music. but you could list other bands there such as Thursday and Boy Hits Car. bands i used to listen to, but sometimes musical taste changes, as mine did, and i stopped listening to that music.
