It's allowed, be it right or wrong.

The OP's opinion is also allowed, be it right or wrong. I haven't defended it - I am defending his right to have it.

My issue is that you have joined an established forum where lots of people know each other personally or through regular interaction on the forum and treat each other with respect. There is much ribbing and goading but only with those who we know well through such interaction. Coming straight in on your very first post and 'having a go' at someone - then doing the same thing you accused them of, however, just isn't a great way to start.

I wish you well and hope you can contribute more positively in future.

Which is fair enough - i didn't say he wasn't entitled to it. But it was an extremely suggestive 'he's not good enough' comment in its tone and i simply replied in kind.

Forums are a great place to share knowledge, chat and banter. I hope to be able to add to that too.

I think the op just misread the forum. I'd like to welcome @[email protected]

There is a thread where folk introduce themselves. Why not just pop over there and tell us a bit about yourself, and we can all start again. 

Thank you - i very much appreciate that. I simply responded in a tone to the OP's post that reflected his own.

We'll all be sure to check in with you before posting in future in case you become offended. Thanks.

You'll find plenty of love for JT and Duran on these pages. As for your Oasis comment.... well you've just fallen into your own trap

 

I'm happy to state my opinion on Oasis - is that not allowed?

I haven't gone around insinuating that they don't or aren't capable of playing what they play.

The fact you choose to defend the OP's condescending comment i will leave with you.

No. He was posting his opinion/question in that he thought it was plectrum and that it was unlikely to have been played with fingers. Unless you're John Taylor's Mum I'm unsure why you became so offended?

Nice editing of your original post btw. What was that you were saying about being condescending comments?

Well - we all have our opinions and i disagree with you. It came across as extremely condescending.

"I think he'd have been able to that".

Just another Duran dismissive by any chance?

As for Oasis - they've offended just about everyone in the world.

Way to go with your first ever post on this forum.... straight into insults. Whether the original poster was right or wrong this is clearly no way to respond.

You might want to check your attitude.....

Do you not think the OP was extremely disrespectful to the original player?

This response is simply in the same tone as the OP's comment - " I think he'd have been able to that". What a terrible, misleading, uneducated, condescending comment.

I never thought it was him at that time but hearing the line in isolation
which is played with a plectrum, I think he'd have been able to that.
Fingers, ..no..!!

Some people talk absolute rubbish.

What sort of bass player can you be if you say Rio was played with a plectrum? Clearly no musical ear and lacking in any knowledge whatsoever.
