Bands you once hated but are now coming round to
StickyDBRmf replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Figures I have to find out about a band from Jersey from Supernaut. But. Better than Springsteen&Bongovi. -
Are your music tastes eclectic or quite narrow?

"You know I need a small vacation..." It has nothing to do with the lyrics, altought I scream them at the top of my lungs. When I heard "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" the first time I wondered how long they had gone on before :Thank you for coming: A girl came up to me and said my bass solo made her want to "Go to the bathroom". I still don't know if she was dissing or complimenting. REACTION. -
I stir a little tin foil in a Pyrex jar with a little bleach and vinegar drop a few pennies in get the same results as a VoxAC 30 so yeah upgrades great. Doesn't seem to work for the 18" sim tho. .

Oh Jeez. Let's get on w/ the "eclectic tastes" topic. So, being from NEW JERSEY USA, I can't stand the likes of BonJovi or Bruce Springsteen. Now. Full disclosioure. The woman I am dating is the daughter of the gym teacher that taught J Bongiovi (real spelling back in Sayreville NJ) and mentions him in a song (Hey Coach T., I finally cut my hair) I admire the man&band but his music SUCKS, Same w/ Bruce. ( I went out w/ a girl that was enamored w/ the bastard 'cause he says WENDY 3 TIMES in BTR-her name was Wendy and he didn't know who she was) But I admire Bruce Springsteen. Just can't stand the music. Really. REALLY. I have tried. Watched the EPIC P.ERFORMANCES. WITH THE HAT. DON'T GET IT. -

Daniel J. Levitin - "This is Your Brain On Music" - musician, recording engineer, neuroscientist - great read, again and again. I am 63 and "like what I like", no rhyme, reason, or purpose. Some stuff I used to like bores me to death, and some I can listen to forever. Today. Maybe not tomorrow. Went to Berklee College of Music and was immediately put-off w/ the academia because they didn't seem to to get on w/ Dolphy, Monk, Don Ellis and Frank Zappa. Of course in middle school I was in a band doing Black Sabbath and Yes. Now F.Z. bores me except for music from Burnt Weenie to One Size. And I didn't even get to see him live until after Zoot Allures. So go figure. All I listen to is college stations on the radio while shopping for groceries. I like bands w/ female singers. I like the music I make up ( I wouldn't call them "songs" because nothing is complete and available for download) but they live in my head and they're funky and danceable. So eclectic. And QUITE NARROW. Today at least. The Wichita Lineman brings me to tears and stops me in my tracks. We had it in the jukebox@ the restaurant I had the staff would put it on if I was having a meltdown. Music. Go figure. -
This has been driving me crazy on my studio monitors (the only one I can actually see) and esp. the "tweeters". I use canned air and what's called "chip brushes" (cheap animal fur brushes) here in the States, on most everything (knobs, strings) but skared shasta-less about those tweeters. Off to the cosmetics, then. (no glam-rock experience, although did open for the NY Dolls)

A rock (or anything else) cover band is a dangerous thing. There is the passionate musician that lives for the experience no matter what and the chap/chapess who thinks it 's a good idea until it clashes with the decor. I watched "Bohemian Rhapsody" last nite w/ my g.f. who is 36 and I am 63. She sings. Very well I might add. She was born the month after LiveAid. I was cooking in the hottest summer in Baltimore MD, and opened my own restraurant in October. ('85). The whole Freddy Mercury thing is a tradgedy but I have many friends that died during "not knowing what is killing us". But there's a point in the movie where Freddie addresses the band and says, " WTF?" So yeah.

Not a P bass if it has a J neck?

Once again facetiousness flies deftly above the heads... -

StickyDBRmf replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
Guys you missed it. The neck is affected by the tonewood it's built out of. -
Fave and least fave electric guitar noises?
StickyDBRmf replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion

Why should every Bass Player worship Status Quo?
StickyDBRmf replied to TJ1's topic in General Discussion
Status Quo. I don't understand this post, but that sounds like a good name for a band. And if it were ironic, it would in turn be more ironic. If this is about religion, I'm a humanist bassist, yet the irony remains. -
I tried a set once, when I couldn't get D'Addarios. Took 'em off as soon as I found a set of D's. To me D.M.'s feel like bailing wire. My opinion, anything OTHER than D's feel like bailing wire.

What are you listening to right now?
StickyDBRmf replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Boozoo Bajou. Interesting. -
I think the music for the band for the movie "Josie and The Pussycats" is fabulous. And the actresses are hotter.
-
Bingo. Still sounds like a freight train.

Jeeves, bring my nano-violin... (Morrissey content)
StickyDBRmf replied to Rich's topic in General Discussion
As an American in Jersey (New) I take offense that Morrisey takes offense to The Simpsons. No offense to those that like The Smiths or Morrisey (whoever or whatever they are). Actually when I think of the Smiths it turns out I'm thinking of someone else... -
Corporate Act (it was a song title in our old band) Gapiro! (sounds Japanese?) Dessert Menu Fun With Your Clothes On Hitler's Chocolates (couldn't help myself, it's the most evil name I've ever come up with. Adolph apparently was very fond of chocolate. But it sounds bad)

StickyDBRmf replied to Sarah5string's topic in General Discussion
Was listening to Royal Blood. Where's my splitter.... -
I had PJs on my Pedulla and I changed over to blend knob. I still hated the sound of those two together. And I had P and J basses.
