Don't lose your cool, mate. If you trust in your own skills, show it to your guitarrist friend. If he still prefer the new "phenomenal" guy, no problem! You can try your luck in another band, made up with other friends. Tip: Try saying your friend you would like to see a new guitarrist...

Silent Lucidity - Queensryche Now that was such a nice shuffle!

Good variaty, mate. now comes Cemetery Gates - Pantera

Nice thread, mate! This is gonna be the place for chatting and meetting for all of those the time never goes off... music selected randomly: Human - Metallica; S&M Album Keep it up!

I remember when I start playing Smoke on the Water. That was such an easy one! Most of Deep Purple's are so... :o

I remember seen DragonForce at their debut on OzzFest... That was a shame. They are known just because of their fast-licky guitars... but that show sucked so much, I could even hear the bass lines louder than those lazy guitars... There's a thing I must say, though: The keyborder is a high...

My band do a mix of heavy and classic rock. So, sometimes we wanna change the set, all we do is play any Dream Theater's Metropolis pt.2 song. Although a lot of those songs demand a prior knolegdement at bass and bass lines, it makes the crowd happy and time goes off faster. :hiding:

I'm a lawyer. And I have seen a few sues against musicians, that is sad...

ROFL!!!

I've got a Ken Smith 6-string, wich sounds like hell whenever I wanna play heavy metal or any kind of rock'n'roll. I must say that an amp can make a whole difference, though. I could use a G&L and play it through a Galleon Krugger and still, it would sound heavy and "cozy" for metal beats.

I like my 5's and 6's It's all about what you want to play, and how does a particular bass sounds to you.

"Why your band has three guitar players? Isn't just two enough?" - A silly drummer asked the form up of my band, after a few bottles of brandy. "Well, that guy overthere is our bassist" - Answered our singer. The drummer didn't, actually, hear anything we've played, but his knowledges through...

Totally agree. I'm not sure if those "oils" would help cleaning or making it harder to run my left-hand on the bass neck. :rollno:

Stay away from Coldplay, and still keep on keyboards, drums and bass? Have you ever thought about jazzy classics? Like Stevie Wonder, Wooten and even Jaco? Yeah, influences here are really different, but at least you would keep some great contact with the "gods" [:)]
