shiksa posted:Is that song supposed to just sound like a bad copyright free knockoff of Jerry was a racecar driver or was that on accident What a perfect response. Tony Levin also wrote a book where in the first chapter he basically said that bass players are God. He also invented sticks you tape to your fingers so that you can whack the bass strings with them. They're called funk fingers. On a Peter Gabriel song, he used a diaper to act as a mute. He recorded an album in a cave using a dummy with microphones in its ears (called KEMAR) instead of recording each instrument normally. He also is one of the most in demand session bass players out there.

That video is a bad choice. The song itself is alright, when it's not the bassist's solo project playing live and recorded on a cell phone

Cobalt60 posted:Faustus forgot to log out of his alt Nah, he likes Kings X and I like King Crimson. He is a guitarist and I'm a bassist. So he has super strats and I have basses with fungus wood/flamed maple/and other boutique weirdness. I must admit that I don't own a bass with more than 5 strings though so I don't know if I can keep my TalkBass account. I also forgot to mention that Tony Levin has one of the longest running blogs on the Internet (http://www.papabear.com).

The song does kinda suck tho, and Jerry is a much better rewrite. The little tuneup Levin gives it at the start reminds me of Nigel Tufnel earnestly tuning the violin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW5dFfCUYPI&t=36s

Allen Wren posted:That video is a bad choice. The song itself is alright, when it's not the bassist's solo project playing live and recorded on a cell phone It's a King Crimson tune that I really enjoy. I first heard it in 1989 and thought it was hilarious, so I have a soft spot for it. It might actually be my first Jerry or My Name Is Mud. I can't imagine anyone listening to Larry Lalonde and saying, "yup, this is way better than" anything but maybe a ferret running around on a fretboard. I don't remember when I first found this version (Levin's solo thing) on YouTube but I had always wondered wtf the instrumentation was because I had never even heard a Stick played before (I saw one in a music store once and tapped on it while it was sitting on a stand. That's it.) When I saw the video the ear-bending combination of warbly high notes and funky bass line finally made sense so I just enjoyed it. Tony Levin is still a great musician. I love his work with Peter Gabriel and with King Crimson. Dude has tone. He grooves. To be fair this song is really just a fun little conceit. It's whimsical. I'm sorry that I put forth a bad video of it. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 05:04 on May 24, 2016 |

Is the trend of playing little girl guitars in your lovely local bar band just happening in my area is it more widespread? Hey everybody check out my wacky Hanna Montana guitar from wal mart. lol here's an iron maiden riff haha isnt that unexpected! This isnt even a professional guitar it is a toy for girls lmao! Haha this one is shaped like a heart and has yarn for strings. *starts into Fulsom Prison Blues / Sister Golden Hair medley or whatever* Those things sound and look bad and nobody in the audience thinks your witty or cute or clever . Go back to the ironic ukelele cover song hipster trend, that was actually much classier.

I always wondered how a pefectionist like Joe felt about that. If Larry did make some good music somewhere, I'm more than happy to hear it. The South Park theme song doesn't count.

I would probably be ok with some noodly prog thrash. My friends expose me to all kinds of really heavy/weird stuff that I wouldn't hear otherwise. In any case, I'd be edified to hear anything by Larry Lalonde that doesn't sound like a chicken with late-stage Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. I'm work-postin' so I'll check it out later.

Nice. I did the opposite once. As a summer project I got a junk bass and did it up. I have no idea what brand it was, but it had a Fender headstock decal and it most certainly was not a Fender so I sanded it off. If I can find pictures I'll post it.

I'm a 40 year old drummer who pretends to be a rockstar on the weekends. I don't know of anything drummers my age do that is comparable to what these blues dads are doing. Other than drooling over expensive drums it seems the only thing drummers my age are guilty of is playing crazy double bass that usually has no place in the music. If any non-drummers can offer an outsider's perspective I would appreciate it. Also, I'm just past the halfway point of this thread.
