Explain your username

You didn't really think that no one would respond, did you?

Actually, no one did comment for quite a while. I was more than happy with having my post remain uncommented on (and unmolested).

The reason for my username is precisely that it reflects how I and other music professionals have been made to feel on this site in the past...but I suppose that this is the danger of sanitizing things to the level of the 11 year old mind. You in turn encourage discussion at that very level.

Personally, I can't wait for the next "I just don't see why Jaco is considered so great" post.

Mods, feel free to delete my post, my account, whatever.

Sorry for existing,

Flaming Basshole

You and other music professionals have been made to feel like a-holes on this site because you cannot curse? Unbelievable.

Wow. Two left handed players in one band. And possibly even a left handed singer (mic in the left hand).

What are the odds of that?

..as opposed to the high level of discourse you're bringing to this particular conversation?

Deleting an account is very easy: just stop logging on TB and resist the temptation to post here again. Here's hoping you can resist the urge to post again.

Anyhoo...

Before having my name changed to Blackbird, I went by the name Big Wheel, (which is still my handle at HARMONY CENTRAL). It's what the Payroll clerk at my job at the time used to call me because my name's Will and i'm tall.

I think the picture's been flipped, even the guitar on the banner looks "left-handed".

 

[Hutton Steel]

This may be stating the obvious and I may be completely wrong, but if the picture has been flipped why does 'Marleys Ghost' read the right way round.

 

[Marley's Ghost]

Nope, two lefty's in the band The only such band I have ever seen or heard of.

 

[Marcus]

My first username was marcusalan... at the time, I did not realize one could put spaces in their username ^_^;

In any event, it's my first and middle name.

Duhhhh, you see, I'm supposed to be working on something and... well, guess I'd better get back to it.

If my guitarist friend and I can find a decent singer, well I suppose we'd be the second...

 

[Minger]

Not sure if I posted in this thread already...but

Minger means ugly girl in British English.

Ok, thats not the reason (I'm also a guy ) Its because my name is Ming, and my coach in gym in like kindergarten just started calling me that and it stuck.

But it really does mean Ugly Girl. British people on Halo are suprised I named my Gamertag that...

 

[TheJimster]

im a fan of slipknot. I didn't want to copy the name so I was bored and put the "z" on. Yes Matt that's why it's there because I was bored!

that would be creepy if the drummer were left handed too

 

[thekyle]

I am The Kyle.

 

[SlavaF]

Full name's Slava Fedossenko, makes sense doesnt it?

When I first joined up here, it was Masterbasser something or other... like many 14 year olds I found that word funny

 

[lump]

First four letters of my last name and my nickname, along with "Lumpy," "The Lumpster" and "Hey, ****head." I had a real first name once, but I've forgotten what it was.

 

[nonohmic]

My first band at school was called 'Non Ohmic Resistance', made it up in science class. Our first song was called 'Wet Dog in the Rain'.

Just shortened it to nonohmic and been using that as my moniker ever since high school.

(we never got signed by the way, but we rocked!!! (ha ha ha))

 

[Bard2dbone]

In my longest lived and most comparatively successful band, I wrote all out lyrics. The keyboardist and I alternated lead vocals. The guitarist would also sing some. So up to three of us could be talking into a mic at any time between songs.

Somehow this lead to stupid nicknames when we were telling the crowd who we were. I wasn't just the bass player. I was the "Lord of the Low Frequencies." Eric wasn't just the keyboardist. He was "The Chairman of the Boards" Yeah I know. Lame

But then one time, John wanted to point out that I was the lyricist responsible for every word in the set we had jsut done. I had an apartment in the Wedgewood neighborhood of Fort Worth at the time. So he introduced me as "The Bard of Wedgewood" which stuck.

Somehow that became Bardman, which is still occasionally used, to my surprise. When I tried to register here, the computer didn't like Bardman. I had recently heard 'Bad To The Bone'

So I combined Bardman and Bad to the Bone...and named myself Wrong Robot.

But then I saw that one was taken. So I went with Bard2dbone.

 

[unbasslichkeit]

Unmoglichkeit (with the umlaut) is German for "impossibility". I just liked the sound of it. Also these days it amazes me how much I actually get to gig in spite of real life demands.

Everywhere else I use "unidentifiedbassplayer". I've even got the domain names .com, .org, and .net.

Now here's a challenge: I bet NO ONE can decode my avatar.

 

[beaglesandbass]
