@sonnyleonrichards I thought it was more about a woman treating a guy like shit, but he keeps coming back to her 'cos he loves her.

@H3RM3S78 I'm not. I'm saying that it's an instrument. It can make a sound, and you can use whatever technique you like to make whatever sound you want from it. Why should someone try to limit the possibilities available from an instrument? That's stupid, and basically the attitude that spawned t...

@DarkArwen929 BABY STEPS!!! Root notes are your Messiah for your first few months. Say what you like about bass, but once you understand what it is that makes a bassline funky (which can take years) you'll never want to pick up anything else again. Good luck :D

Some bands get shit over time. They lose what made them so amazing in the first place. There are countless bands like that. One of those bands is not the Black Keys. Yeah, sure, their sound isn't as coarse as it was ten or so years, but you know what? Their music is for the goddamn music. Not mon...

@gannen33 Because they're thicker and have more tension. Pluck them too hard and you get a massive rattling from your strings hitting off your frets.

Every bass I've ever played, Jazz basses, P basses and everything in between, has had a thicker neck than any 6 string guitar.

Have you ever done ...

Hmm. No groove when you play. Not the best cover either. So dislike.

But you have amazing legs, so that cancels out the dislike.

This ain't slap...this be tap. His slapping technique seems poor, all his pops are muted like fuck. Sounds terrible.

I prefer this to the original. Mostly because it isn't completely smeared with ten inches of distortion. The perfect amount.

Say what you like about such and such being a better guitarist than such and such, but you have to admit, Josh is a beautiful singer.

@patrick20082008 Just 'cos he's dead doesn't make him god's gift to bass. John Entwistle already was before he died.

@musicman123429 Try Dream Theater. Not thrash, but the guitarist (Petrucci) shreds a shitton. Try The Count of Tuscany for shredding. The outro has a nice, mellow chord progression.

Oh, and it's 20 minutes long.

The interney will be censored unless the bill gets condemned internationally. It has the capacity to limit free speech and creativity. The EU have already assured that they won't allow the introduction of a similar bill in any of the member states, but they NEED to stand uo to the US and say "thi...

THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME LYRICAL MELODY!!! That is, none. They're both shit.

@McAdamskinsky 'Cos Snow is the most souless song they've ever written. You can hear it in Anthony's voice.

@Vinterless He doesn't have the funk. Metal bassists may be fantastically fast, they can tap like motherfuckers, but a jam composed simply of slapping octaves with a few hammer ons has far more groove. And music is all about the groove. That's why Wooten is the greatest bassist of all time.

@TheLaughiingMan As a long time subscriber of Jesus'/Colin's, I can tell you that it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he was completely apathetic about the situation. He doesn't seem to really give a shit about everyone else and what they think of him, and he isn't afraid to show this. I ...

6:55 Tim Minchin reference, bitches ;)

@wonderwu Okay, so you're complaining that he should replace the Op guns he's using with the even more powerful MP9. Your logic is inherently flawed, so STFU.

Playing a gig with these guys on Friday :D

PUT DOWN THAT PICK NOW!!!

Ya know, I COULD learn this song. Slapping speed is no problem, I can do Nobody Weird like me no problem. And left hand fretting isn't a problem, YYZ is cake for me. But fuck, this weird ass, informulaic, messed up as fuck, mind-blowingly amazing song would take me a year to learn.

@TheLJCliam I used to use overused memes, but then I realized how annoying I was and that I was the one killing them.

It's like there's a new pornstar on your favourite website. The owner makes a video introducing her, tells you her entire life story, from birth to now in supreme detail, but never at any stage does she take off her clothes. The only introduction you need is seeing how well she takes a dick, mayb...

Needs more improvisation :P

@culboi Aw, hell no, I can name 6 more songs so far this year that are just as good, if not better than this song.

Problem is, they're all on that album :D

@AfricanMofo Yeh, I fail :P It's just Freaky Styley was so similar to Mother's Milk in terms of mixing that I was convinced they were back to back :P

I licked my phone cos I cry every time :'(

Props to you mate. Takes balls to come out and say this. I'd be willing to bet you made a lot of people tear up without uttering a word. The flash card thing was great, made it all the more touching. Just don't forget, this will change. High school will yield a fresh start. And remember, fuck the...
