Another CL gem

[dbsfgyd1]

I vant my basslines exactly as the CD! No drummer or vocalist for you one year until the strings are tight!

This could be fun but it sounds like torture.

I’m not so sure I can play a bass while holding an end of a log….

"The only guitarist in that area who is ready and able to deliver 12 Black Sabbath songs."

How big is that area, 2 square meters?

Pretty sure most guitarists who play any kind of rock music have played 12 Sabbath songs. At any open jam that's open to rock being played, if you wait long enough, someone will play a Sabbath song because everyone knows Sabbath songs. I haven't played any Sabbath tunes for over a decade and i could probably pull a few from memory if i had to. But apparently AL-X over here is the only one in their area.

Also, is AL-X the name Al with an X added to it to make it sound cool? Or is it short (but just as long) for Alex? Or is it short for like, Albert Xavier? These are the things i want to know.

Dear AL-X,

If you need to spend a year getting "the strings tight" on twelve songs, then I don't think you are a guitarist who is ready and able to deliver anything but pain and misery upon your (theoretical) bandmates (this notion is further reinforced by the semi-belligerent tone of your ad).

Sincerely,

HubbardsFate

P.S. "AL-X" is the worst name (?) I've ever heard.

Probably Zan-X would be more appropriate…

I’m not so sure I can ply any bass while holding an end of a log….

Hold up my end of the log.

I kind of want to meet AL-X. That would be a fun conversation. He sounds insufferable and I seriously lack tact. Would be great!

 

[gln1955]

"This can be fun it depends on you"- Maybe. From reading that, I think it will depend on him. And, if the strings are tight.

Didn't Black Sabbath tune down? How tight can the strings really get?

 

[chris1327]

this ad is hilarious! the delusion and vanity is so specific… my hunch is that AL-X is an amazing guitar player, but a terrible musician, because nobody can tolerate being in the room with them.

confirmation that being personable is a musical skill!

‘Meet him? Sure, could be a great guy. Working with him on this musical project with his standards would not end well.

 

[RJC1811]

My strings are already as tight as they are ever going to be. No I’m not tuning up to G standard for Al-x.

 

[Lowbrow]

Same bass lines as the original CDs? Think he'd settle for the parts from the original LPs?

Here are the stream of responses I received, all without further solicitation by me:

I just responded moments ago questioning his state of perfection when he failed to spell "rehearsal" correctly. I wonder if I should explain how I was too busy learning Zeppelin and Steely Dan. . . Nah, I'm an AH, but I think I'm done.

 

[FullumMusic]

Right? Like, so many things to unpack in that one little comment: The original parts were distributed on vinyl and 8 track, not CDs... AND, who the h3ll even has CDs anymore? CDs are simultaneously no longer relevant and also not even the original recordings. Yet, AL-X demands you play like the CDs.

 

[jthisdell]

So this guitarist spends all his time learning 12 songs perfectly? Sounds awful. Bet his neighbors never get tired of listening to him.

 

[ghiggin1079]

BTW, does "like the CD" mean digitally?

He’s as professional as you’d expect from a Floridian with the knowledge of punctuation you’d expect from a kindergartener.

Leave him alone. By agitating him you risk pushing him closer to becoming a mass shooter.

“This could be fun, it depends on you”

Yeah, no.

[Killing Floor]

i THINK he seems like an @ whole

 

[Chrisk-K]

Geezer himself has never played the songs exactly the way they were recorded, so I certainly don't think anyone else should feel a particular compunction to do so.

Geezer can do whatever he wants to do to Sabbath bass lines because he created them. We mere mortals have to play them exactly like Geezer did in the original recordings.

Wow. I guess you’re not hardcore unless you live hardcore. Interesting dude.
