Back in the day when I did dumb stuff like that, I always threw my bass in the other direction. Instead of throwing the neck over the left shoulder, I threw the bridge end under my right arm. That's the way I saw Steve Vai do it.

Being a silly kid with a busted bass and doing that is one thing.

Playing on stage in front of an audience... well...

does anybody see the use in this?
Are there really people that want to learn how to mimic some guys 'moves' by watching a video of some girl who chose to waste valuable practice time by completely copying some douche's on-stage circus parade?

People still do that? I thought it was 2008, not 1988.

I loved the move when she does that kick while lifting the bass

And then the slow motion of it almost made me cry. In a bad way.
And to answer your question, are there really people that want that, I think there are. Next thing you know, there'll be ''Rock Star Stage Moves Instructional Video'', followed by ''Smash Your Guitar Hero III''.

I also loved how the kid that threw the bass in the snow explained himself that's because 'electric' was busted.
Next time I break a string I'll just toss the damn thing down the stairs.
It's a Squier, isn't it?

Hey now. Don't call these guys douchebags. There's nothing wrong or even ignoble about the douchebag. It's just doing its job.



These guys are doucheNOZZLES.
