[/quote] I thought Inti was O.K. You clown whores never gave him a fair chance because he didn't speak English as his first language and couldn't resist the chance to bully him off Basschat . He was a good bass player too, judging by his YT videos. I'm not that bad a player myself either, Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1407179000' post='2518126'] The Pixies are bloody awful in their own right, regardless of my superiority ( thanks for acknowledging that, by the way, your humility is a lesson to me ) . I couldn't care less what music you like or don't. You can listen to Run Rig as far as I am concerned but just because you like something, it doesn't make it good. [/quote] You're doing a great impression of someone that doesn't care. Most teenagers have a more mature attitude towards music they don't like than the one you're displaying here.

[/quote] Thats where you and him differ from me then, I dont judge on good or bad playing really as I prefer enjoy or didnt enjoy. I dont enjoy Mark King's music but he is a good proficient player, just doesnt get me going like a nice simple Kris Novoselic bass line for example.

With hindsight, I should have realized that my clumsy attempts to be clever and show off would fall flat on their face, especially in the face of the rapier-like wit and searing intelligence that which you obviously possess in abundance. Thanks for putting me firmly in my place. It will be a long time before I can show my face round here again after being the victim of that kind of cutting invective. You've made me look a right prat now. I don't know where to put myself. Then again, looking on the positive side of things, I might feel embarrassed now, but I know that in the longer-term I will thank you for the valuable life lesson you have just taught me. From now on I will look on you as a father figure and seek your council on anything I might want to say before shooting my mouth off with my silly "opinions". Maybe I have got some kind of undiagnosed medical condition like CIMDD ( Crap Indie Music Deficit Disorder)? More likely though, I just don't have your innate good taste and discernment when it comes to music. Is it a gift you were born with , or something you have learned through experience?

FWIW I really really don't like the Pixies' music either. The difference is that I don't apparently consider myself as some sort of arbiter of what is/isn't *good*. [/quote] My friend , I seem to remember that we we have had this conversation before. But at the risk of repeating myself, it an established rhetorical convention that all contentious statements are an "opinion". The whole point is that you are stating an opinion. You can take that as a given. Saying " in my opinion" is not really necessary . The fact that an individual is making a statement on a contentious issue means that that statement is implicitly an opinion. Putting "in my opinion" afterwards is usually not appropriate specifically for that reason. That is an established rhetorical convention of the English language, and not of my making. Talking of women bass players, does anybody else remember this one from way back when : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvIydHPhb98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I went to rough inner city comprehensive. We didn't do that whole less/fewer thing, probably because the teachers didn't know the difference. Evidently, I still don't know the difference. Besides which, if there can be more bass players, there can be less, hence the saying " more or less", even if it means one bass player is reduced in stature by some surgical means or another . And if that means we end up with fewer then job done, in my opinion . Edited August 4, 2014 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you like the simplicity [simple doesn't necessarily mean bad, regardless of what some may think] of Kim, or insane technical ability of someone who plays at crazy speed is irrelevant to this post. It was a simple enough question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
