[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='295135' date='Sep 30 2008, 09:16 AM']Why do accomplished musicians always feel the need to play overly technical horse sh*t?
That's why the only people who have heard if Jeff Berlin are other musos that sit around stroking their chin to his noise.[/quote]
+1 sir!
I just think that he's a prat that thinks his way is right and that everybody else is wrong? Music is about expression, not adhering to certain rules like he thinks it is. I know he's a good musician (even if his music sounds like sh*t) and that he knows a lot of musical theory, but the latter isn't necessarily a good thing, in that he seems to think he's the best at what he does and seems to think he's better than everybody else because he only has one bass, uses the most pland pickups ever and has a really bad custom bass and doesn't need more than one bass and doesn't need to use electronic tuners. I can't remember what my point was but i basically just think he's a pretentious, arrogant, self important prick that outside of the bass playing community nobody has actually heard of!
Also is it just me or is his custom bass... well... sh*t?
Macca is a bit of a dick too and i don't really appreciate his playing.
