I spend my time playing/listening to music instead of analyzing it and picking it apart Banana King.

I think most of you analyze music and equipment so much that you don't get any enjoyment out of it.

I disagree.

Why play rush songs when you can play your own songs? So you can show your chops or improve your musical abilities or come up with new ideas for your own work? Uh okay. I could improve my math capabilities by practicing algerbra. Will I do that? No.

Dude I love the Melvins and Black flag. Unfortunately I cannot check out your tunes right now.

Call me a troll if you want but I think 41 pages of argument about whatever is pretty ridiculous. The Beatles and Hendrix did not learn how to read music. Maybe later on but during their best albums they had no idea. Enough said. Or to put it this way. Robert Johnson did not read...

The answer to the OP's question is this. No you do not have to read music to be a good musician. /end thread.

Yes I'm stoked that there are so many flipper/black flag fans on here. More than I expected. I'll have to check out that sax player and that stooges album. I have the first stooges album and thats pretty cool. Punk kept rock n roll alive during the dreadful 80's. I really dig Greg Ginns...

I agree with you. :bassist::hyper::ninja:

Dude that is so cool. If you get a chance please tell your friend I think his sax playing is fantastic on Gone Fishin. I'm listening to it as I type right at this very moment. Its tasty. He knows when to hold back and when to let go. Really cool. I don't expect too many people to reply in...

I've always kind of been into jazz but because I'm self taught and I'm not able to read music I never really dove into that territory because I felt kind of outside that realm of music. I always felt kind of insignifigant. But listening to Black Flag and Flipper is cool because they're a punk...

Yea bro I lived in cold ass weather. I had to walk to work for like 4 months in the snow. Sometimes I would walk to the store in like negative 5 degree weather. Get a good set of gloves. When you get in from the cold blow on your hands and warm em up. If you play guitar your performance is...

Smiley bro. I'm not trying to troll. I don't dig being a troll. I can't please everybody. I mean I apologize for being a little rude, but I'm just raggin on some fellow bass buddies. You guys rag on me by calling me a troll and I can understand that. I mean I think melodic bass lines are...

His tone is similar to the tone inside of my toilet when my butt is over top of it farting.

I agree with this guy 100%. Its okay to be melodic sometimes. But if you want to just bust chops all the time you better find a new instrument to play or continue looking like a goofball. Feel free to attack me. I take it with a grain of salt.
