I forgot Geezer's name! :(

Sign in to disble this ad
So my friend has a radio show at his college that he does from 6-7pm (EST) every Friday, and since I'm going away to college soon, he let me come on and we we're gonna play an hour of old 70's, 80's, and 90's metal. Well, when I go to introduce "N.I.B.", I started talking about "Bassically" at the beginning, and I said something along the lines of "...and it starts off with a bass solo by... crap I'm blanking on his name..." and I totally forgot and had to come back after the song was over to say it was Geezer Butler

So my question is: is there some kind of punishment for forgetting the name of one of the best bass players in heavy metal? (and whats even worse is he's like my #2 influence behind Cliff Burton)

It's Terence Bulter, isn't it?

And no, I don't think anyone besides us cares about the names of the bass players anyways...

YES. You must now, as punishment, learn note for note, and be able to play from memory, every song ever recorded by...


Culture Club !



After that, I bet you will not make that mistake again.

I can only imagine all of the listeners thinking "I wish I knew the name of that bass player."

Happens to the best of us. It sucks that yours just had to happen while on air.
