guitarnbass Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Does anyone here have sky? On the channel selection screen, there are a number of tunes played repeatedly in the background which have been playing for yonks. One of them is slap bass tune, surely someone here must have heard it? Is it not the most annoyingly awful piece of bass playing you've ever heard? I imagine half of this forum could come up with better. I mean don't get me wrong, all those tunes are bad, but the bass one is especially annoying, am I right?

ped Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 You are. the groove seems very sloppy and behind the beat, the fact it is looped makes it even more obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarhead Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I can't stand it, I usually just mute it in between changing channels. Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullet-Rule Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yes, I think it's horrible. I admire those who can slap well, but that piece is just yuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 There's another piece that plays over the Sky menu that features some quite nice chordal bass playing... at least, that's what it sounds like. Quite like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 i always hear people complaining about these tunes. they don't bother me at all, i barelty notice they're even playing. i don't really know which one you're talking about because i just don't pay attention to them, but i'll be listening out for that one in the future now you've said about it.

Gamble Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Me and my girlfriend had noticed it, she said I should learn it and play it for soundchecks. I figured a bit of ot out by ear but I haven't got it right, and I'm not likely to try much harder! I don't mind the tune, it's just played dreadfully!

Mr Fudge Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 If I was a twenty six year old woman about to be married I would insist on walking down the aisle to it. Classic! However I am a 39 year old man and don't have any expectations in any of the aforementioned departments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read a post extolling this particular piece of music on here not so long ago :wacko: I guess it's different things to different people; I bloody hate it though if I'm honest! [size=1]did anyone hear the Bass playing on "Pappy's Fun Club" - Comedy Lab Special on Channel 4 on Thursday night? [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I bet the person who played it is bloody proud of it and it gets listened to by millions of people each day so I'm chalking it down to jealousy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
