Foxfire 09-01-2004 11:44 AM

Foxfire 09-01-2004 11:45 AM

And Traben pisses me off. They have some slick basses but they're made out of basswood.

Foxfire 09-01-2004 12:42 PM

Wow. I just had someone say that Jazz is easier than Rock.

Flaming time. :evil:

Sometimes people need to sleep. especialy the people who stay up late. :)

Foxfire 09-01-2004 01:17 PM

You? ;)

Foxfire 09-01-2004 01:39 PM

So I just flamed someone on a forum...This is what I got (this was he response to me saying that Blink-182 is pop punk, which followed him saying "Blink 182 is more talented than Led Zepplin and is rock"):

"dear ted, FUC K YOU!

maybe your right, maybe your wrong, i dont really care, because i dont really know that much about music, and i dont play guitar or any other instrument, i dont even really like blink 182 that much, all i do kknow is that i like green day, i dont fuc king care what fuc king category their in, they're fuc king good and thats all what needs to be said about them.

ted, you act like you know everything about music, but i have to give you the facts- your just an 8th grader with nothing better to do then bag on peoples opinions. you know slightly more about music than i do and i know almost nothing about music- way to go ted, now you can feel good about yourself. wow, you play guitar, therefore your the primary authority on music. YEAH RIGHT DIPSHI T, FUC K YOU! music is all you have in your little pathetic life so stating my opinions must have really offended you. or i just offended your little nerd friend who needs a jackass to stick up for him, i really dont care. The point is I like green day and i think they ROCK there isnt a **** thing in the world you can do about it. as for blink 182, and any other band that you dont like, they are all better musicians and cooler than you.

ps you suck"

I laughed really hard.

Thoughts, comments? I ended up not responding because it wasn't worth my time. I also got called a music Nazi for saying that:

1. Jazz and Classical are harder to play (in most cases) than rock.
2. Blink 182 and Green Day are Pop-punk, not rock.
3. Blink 182 is not more talented than Led Zepplin; Delonge and Hoppus suck (but that's a given :p)
4. He shouldn't comment on how difficult different bands' music is if he hasn't played it

I'm all for not categorizing bands, but people like to switch between categorizing and not categorizing.

:rolleyes:

No i never sleep. NEVER :cool: :evil:

In terms of bass, alot of classical orchestra upright is simple.... and alot of jazz bass stuff is simple walking lines, then there are the many exceptions, just like in rock. Bass is what you make of it, reguarless of the genre.

Foxfire 09-01-2004 01:46 PM

I wasn't talking bass. :p

nisakss 09-01-2004 01:53 PM

^^In what form was that??

Foxfire 09-01-2004 01:54 PM

A friend's forum.

I forgive them because they're young and ignorant.

nisakss 09-01-2004 02:00 PM

SO what are your current projects, at the moment I'm trying to figure out the solo of Coffee Shop, that's one cool solo, really aggressive. What are you up to?

Foxfire 09-01-2004 02:01 PM

Well, a bunch of things.

First, I'm trying out for Concert band, and I've decided to do a Medley. Can't decide how I want the transition to go...

I'm also trying to learn Stuart Hamm's "Sexually Active", Victor Wooten's Transcription of "Overjoyed," and Victor Wooten's Transcription of Amazing Grace.

Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove 09-01-2004 02:05 PM

Hah finaly i got one on you fox, I learned amazing grace last month. :p :upset:

currently im working on practicing tapping bits. some slapping, not learning any covers though. i actualy mostly working on improv 12 bar blues... with slap... :amaze:

nisakss 09-01-2004 02:15 PM

Cool, you all seem to work on some really hard stuff, guess I'm a lazy person.

Besides playing bass, I'm trying to stay sexually active... :lol: .... :upset:

What I really want to learn is this version I saw him play in a video. It's all groovy as hell.

Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove 09-01-2004 02:33 PM

I learned the live version, at least i think it was, the one off the power tab, it was totaly better and more complete then the one on MX tabs. anyway it was close to what he played to when i say him with the flektones.

Jamie 09-01-2004 02:38 PM

:D i also want to be a sound engineer! im in year 11 at comprehensive (in UK) and im going to college next year, what would i need to take? would i need to go to uni? how many years before i finish it? is it hard to get a job?


oh, and i just went back to school today :(

Foxfire 09-01-2004 03:25 PM

The Powertab version is the one I want to learn! Awesome. Thanks BFAG. :)

Jamie 09-01-2004 04:08 PM

I think i might learn it at the weekend, is it hard?

Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove 09-01-2004 04:51 PM

[QUOTE=Foxfire]The Powertab version is the one I want to learn! Awesome. Thanks BFAG. :)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, thats one i learned from. Fun. :)


[QUOTE=jamie_dunce] I think i might learn it at the weekend, is it hard?[/QUOTE] Its good practice for harmonics, not really that hard. Its Wootens easiest piece. I learned it after i attempted PoT.

victor_claypool 09-01-2004 05:04 PM

So I finally saw dream theater and Yes, Dream theater played a 1 hour set! :mad: wtf. Even with a short set it was still amazing :) . You could actually hear Myung :thumb: ! He had a few solos which was very cool . Yes played 2 and a half hours plus an anchore. It was alright, kinda boring :o. Chris squire came out with his triple neck bass, that was cool.

JoeDaddio 09-01-2004 05:16 PM

You guys seriously need to listen to Elvis Costello.
