No problem. I just happen to pop on myspace and there was a bulletin from Vic that he just posted up a few minutes ago.

No need for flaming. Everyones got an opinion and if everyone could accept that the internet would be a better place..

its not like hes going on the show tonight to give us all insight on how to play the bass guitar and show us all just how fast he can wank and teach us techniques. hes going to be on the show attempting to play music with bela and the flektones.

I don't deny his obvious virtuosity and talent, but at the end of the day that means less than nothing to me because I have still yet to hear him write or perform an original piece of music that I find anywhere near as profound as the hype and credit he receives for being a virtuoso.

I am not trying to rain on anybody's parade, I just dont understand the excitement surrounding him sometimes. its all about the MUSIC, and his is subpar IMO.

and thank you for accepting my opinion, i respect yours.

I'm not going to flame you man...

I do love W-00-10 though! I've seen him and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones 3 times and absolutely love them. Victor is who really made me want to push myself to learn the bass better.

I hear ya, man. But why post 'Meh' when you know it will start s***?
I too am not a big fan of his solo music, but I love the Flecktones.
So 'Meh' yourself, and have a nice holiday.

Thanks for posting!
I'm sure I would have missed it otherwise.
I don't have a DVR so I hope I can make it past 11:00.

He's been on there before but I think it's been a few years. I think I still have an old tape of it laying somewhere around here.

I like Wooten he and Bela are phenomenal players but if I'm not gonna go out of my way to watch them perform one song on a TV show. If I catch it then I catch it, if I don't then its no great travesty to me either. If it were an entire concert then I'd make sure I tune in for it.
