[quote name='jim_bass' post='740295' date='Feb 9 2010, 08:26 PM']My favourite youtube bass relate quote goes along the lines of this...
"Good try, but 'proper' bass players don't use a pick, you should really learn to play with your finger 'cos it's better"
Particularly, when the song is something by blink 182 or some other song where the original bassist plays with a pick. And they never complain that the original song was played like that because 'it's their favourite band ever that can plan all the songs and Mark Hoppus is like the favourite bass player ever.'
Great stuff [/quote]
God I hate people like that.
I personally love Blink 182, they encouraged me to pick up a bass in the first place and I still listen to them on a regular basis, problem is nowdays if anyone looks them up online its all 'OMG dey is soo good trv$ is da best drumma evar!" and it makes oldschool fans (repping the Dude Ranch!) look like dicks.
