Anyone notice this? The guy is hunched over, and appears to be shredding on the Ric like a guitar with a pic... They did know this was a bass right? Maybe they picked it just because it looked cool? In any event, I thought it looked strange...  |

It should be mentioned that there are some bassists, in fact, who use a pick.
Fact.

Now sits back and waits for the " The Early Naughty's Scott Pilgrim switched to Fender Jazz Myth" thread to happen.

M. Cera was born in 1988. So he was roughly 15 when he 'broke out'. 7 years later he's got to be about 22ish now. I know I aged a lot between 15 and 22.

I guarantee there will be a spike in Ric sales.

When I was younger I would always get upset cause either the actor was so bad a faking playing an instrument, or the bands were so bad, or they could have used a real band for a better effect. This comes as no surprise that they would show him shredding on a bass. Hollywood knows we are all stupid, and thanks to Justin Bieber its being confirmed.

Cera actually knows how to play. In this particular movies, the bands songs were written by Beck. Yes, Beck. I watched a movie called Tideland the other day, Jeff Bridges plays the singer/guitarist in a rock band. Watching, you can clearly see that Jeff is actually playing. Hollywood has no idea about the music world? Hollywood created the music world.

Like the dude in "I love you man" and they are always screwing it up on the Free Credit Report commercials and probably a ton more if I cared to think right now. Just saying, hollywood doesn't really seem to care if the playing looks real or not. |
