Exclamation L. Ron Hubbard - bassist?!?!?!?

Okay, I don't want to offend anyone who is a Scientologist here (to each his/her own, we all have our own belief systems), but apparently, ol' L. Ron has some things to say about the origin of Rock music on this site .

Note the picture of him playing bass...

He may be a bassist, but that whole analysis thing was garbage.

i do.

...but you will not, Medic8ted.

Whatever your opinion, it is no excuse to be rude about other people's religion, and shooting off what you think everybody else thinks doesn't flatter your intelligence either.

PM me if you want.

wow.

I think my musical iq actually was cut in half by reading the first page and a half of that garbage. If I wrote that as a paper for a high school english class I'd get a poor grade. If I wrote it for someone who knew anything about music, they'd probably laugh me out of their class.

I'd pay to see a gig with L. Ron on bass and Tom Cruise on lead tambourine.

Yes. While Tim C inspired me to start playing bass, L. Ron Hubbard inspired me to stop playing bass.

Don't be so quick to dismiss Hubbard. I think he's odd, but anyone who sets up a studio like that has my respect and my ear. Apparently, he was doing something right. (Why do I feel like I'm in a Wishbass thread?! You guys are too judgemental! (irony))!

Agreed, anyone see those microphones! Holy ****! I kind of want to track down a few of his albums to see what they're like.
