tom delonge is a legend and anyone who puts him down here is an *** hole

arent all pop-punk musicians bad??

I know this isn't pop-punk, and The Beatles are my favorite band ever, but Ringo Starr kinda.. didn't do much.
John's chord voicings were crazy.
Paul's basslines were good.
George's lead was very good.
Ringo's drumming was.. there..

The lead singer from Story of the Year.
I think that's it.

how is tom delonge a legend, he really is not that good

[QUOTE=albert_bass]Probably more talented or equally talented bassists I can think of (in pop-punk or similar):

Hunter (AFI)
Jesse (Lagwagon)
Matt Freeman obviously
Tomek (Satanic Surfers)
Roger (LTJ)
Chris #2 (Anti-flag)
Let's say the guy from saves the day
Alvarez from Descendents

And some of these I have to think about it to say it...[/QUOTE]

Alvarez of descendents and all is my inspiratin to play bass, he is amazing

Then Im proud of being an ******* :smoke:

its like impossible to be optimistic in this thread...

[QUOTE=HitHardDrums55]its like impossible to be optimistic in this thread...[/QUOTE]

The point is to be pessimistic.

Hunter burgan from AFI > all pop punk bassists

Wasn't the point of this thread to say what members of good bands suck at their instruments, and not to say who is good at bass? Anyways Matt Freeman blows everyone away (hopefully he makes it through the lung cancer). Fat mike is pretty good too.

[QUOTE=fall-out-boy]the singer/guitarist in Thrice. i like the band but hes a really average singer[/QUOTE]

No I really disagree with you there. Dustin writes some great lyrics, and he has a pretty versitile voice. It might not be too unique, but he has a lot of range. Plus, he plays some pretty tough stuff on guitar.

[QUOTE=HitHardDrums55]tre has easy beats but hes not bad considering how green day is...[/QUOTE]

On Dookie they had some pretty cool basslines, but other than that he's nothing special.

Everyone in Nickelback is god awful. But they make me laugh, and god **** it, isnt that the point?

Woah. Matt Freeman has lung cancer. Holy scheize, hope he recovers. Wow.

[QUOTE=warningpunk]Everyone in Nickelback is god awful. But they make me laugh, and god **** it, isnt that the point?[/QUOTE]
Are they awful because you don't like to listen to their kind of music?


And green day.. They are just GOOD at making music. Guess why so much people listen to their songs? They choose to play that way. I also play in my band just simple basslines because it doesn't FIT to play gigantic weird and highly technical stuff :smoke:

You do recognize you called nickelback good, right?

ok... how about considering they are better musicians then you will ever be. matt graduated from berklee and won a grammy with lauren hill and fred has a masters in music from temple university.

adam also plays guitar and bass, he used to play bass for taking back sunday, back when jessie lacey was in the band. eddie is a pretty good guitarist if he is hanging with fred and same with mark if he can hold fred and mark together. so i would really reconsider your choices of bad musicians there buddy.

p.s i hate the way the band now sounds, i like old taking back sunday better, but that doesn't take away the fact that the band "skillwise" is better now.

billie joes guitar playing isnt that great. and it really pisses me off that he doesnt even do the solos, they have a back up on his songs in their new album. wtf is he too busy singing in his "british accent" or can he just not play that.but neways imo after insomniac greenday has sold out and been making crapy music and been destroying the punk scene. but their old stuff kikd ***

Making music does not have to be technical.

Phillip Sneed and Ryan Phillips of Story Of The Year the band is ok but i think if Phillip and Ryan had there own little band they would sound a whole lot better

Hold on the A.D.D just kicked in i meant that the singer and bass player in SOTY are pretty average but now adays who isnt? i think they sound leave the band or if everyone else in the band was smart they would leave

Maybe in pop punk.

more people need to post in this thread

Since when does BJA sing in a british accent? do you even know what a british accent is.

I'd have to go with Tim Armstrong. Not really his guitar playing, but his singing.
