ugh.....this guy is so dumb.....u know what.....mark hoppus is cool and all...he got me to play bass and blink 182 is my favorite band but come on man! flea is 50 million times better than mr hoppus!
First of all Blink 182 is pop/punk and Red Hot Chili Peppers are rock. Punk rock is the way people with little talent get lots of money. And listen to any Red Hot Chili Peppers album and you'll see that Flea is incredible at bass that's why every year at like the Gibson awards or something like that he gets nominated for best bassist of the year. And for some reason I never see Mark Hoppus nominated for this. and hoppusdisciple have you even tried to play any RHCP songs. I'm not saying that Mark Hoppus sucks but honestly how hard is it to play 8th notes in every song. I seriously doubt that Mark Hoppus can play "Aeroplane" listen to that and listen to "Higher Ground" both of those songs have really good slap and pop in them. "Coffeeshop" has a really good solo in it. There really isn't a single RHCP song that's easy to play except their really early stuff. Then there's Blink 182. "What's My Age Again?" is impossble to play with all those 8th notes. And you say anybody can move their fingers around and make noise. Well yeah they can but when Flea slides in a song he can actually do it again. I bet you think Stefan Lessard, Les Claypool, and Victor Wooten are terrible because they move their fingers around so much and do slides, hammer ons, pull offs, and all that good stuff. Try to play some Dave Matthews songs. Stefan Lessard is incredible and it takes a while to learn Dave Matthews songs on bass. It takes me about 5 minutes to learn a Blink 182 song and anywhere from like two days to weeks to months to learn Dave Matthews and Red Hot Chili Peppers' songs. And if you want to play any DMB or RHCP songs you'll have to buy a tab book because it's almost impossible to learn their songs by ear and put them on a tab site exactly right.
No. But thoust doth detect the odor of...well, not quite spam. Spam is supposted to try and boost sales. This sure as heck ain't doing nothing for blink, believe you me. This is more like....futility spiked with comedy. Whats that word? Oh yeah, pathetic.
