This will Anger you!

Sign in to disble this ad
this makes me so annoyed. This kid at my school just bought a bass. Its a cheap brand Ive never even heard of before, he put "Guitar Hero Stickers" on the first couple frets, and says to a friend of mine " I dont even know how to play bass, but its not like bass is important anyways in songs, when Im in a show Ill just stand there and strum the BIG STRING [ referring to the E -_- ] And Ill look cool and the girls will want me"

.....Is this not one of the most infuriating examples of someone who calls themself a bassist!?!

Let him be. Doesn't sound like a guitarist. Sounds more like a lead singer and front man. Learn to play and worry about yourself, not others.

Well i'm sure he wont be able to find a band to play in, and even if he does, i'm sure they will never get a show, and even if they do, there won't be any girls there, and even if there are, they won't like him because he will be playing E the whole time and it will sound bad.

Maybe you should try to explain that bassist are very important, and teach him how to play.

Pretty common.. I don't blame them they are just wasn't that educated with music.. People always start with nothing and they will eventually explore deeper and deeper.. When I was young I was like that guy who thought bass is nothing in a band situation..

If he's fourteen, I understand. I was young once, myself. Just know that he won't last long doing what he thinks he's doing. If he's nineteen, IMHO your anger is justified.

I dont know its just that he doesnt even care about bass, but instead he just wants to "look cool" and "get girls" ...he also has a girlfriend which makes his reasoning even more pathetic and rude.

Isn't that the motivation for a large percentage of what guys do in high school?

Ignore him. Don't waste anger on morons, or you'll be in for a very unhappy life.
