Is it wrong?

You can't keep your story straight.

"My musical influences cover a very wide range, partly because of my respect for other cultures. I am also inspired by all Bass players I hear, for I understand the basic role of the Bass: let's not forget to keep that pocket. And Smile. And if they got it going on, then yes! Let's groove."

Whose website is that from???


It is straight
I asked a question.

and that qoute you posted is from my site.

There really is a difference between influenced and inspired.

you have no case.
 
BTW, it is not wrong to hate the dead if the dead in question are jerkoffs. Nor is it wrong to hate someone you never met. I hate Osama Bin Laden and I never met him. But then, I have lots of pentatonic idols.


I think Jaco is a jerkoff, because of his pompous attitude.

And if you actually looked up my influences, they're not really pentatonic. And as for calling them idols, you make me feel like a heathen. This place is relaxed buddy, calm down.

EDIT: The comments aren't to you Jimmy M, just the fellow you quoted in your post :-D
 
I think Jaco is a jerkoff, because of his pompous attitude.
You have fun with that...honestly.....that is the supidest thing ive ever heard.....
Did you meet him?
Didint think so...
Have you listened to his playing enough to respect his talent?
haha...no, because if you had..
You wouldnt have started a thread of which the sole intent is to hate on somebody...​
:scowl: :scowl: :scowl: :scowl: :scowl:
Wheres the fun, information, tip sharing, etc. in that?...or am i mistaken as to what talkbass is all about?!?!?!
If Talkbass is here to discuss how much we hate awesome bass players...then please send me that memo!

Edit: In retrospect...that sounds a bit harsh........hmm...ok then.....
 
Hate... LOL! Holy cow - in the same breath - "I am not trolling or trying to flame here, but I hate..."

I said, now - who do... who do ya think you're foolin?

Hate is born 99% out of fear and ignorance. You "don't get" jaco so you hate him? Silly - just plain silly.

You are free to not enjoy his playing or to find the way he chose to live his life to be something that you would not do or approve of - but hate him? What's the use? Does proclaiming your hatred of him actually accomplish anything?

From my end, if exposes you has a person who does not know how to properly deal with your feelings about someone you don't know or understand.

Is it wrong? Who am I to say? I think your time would be better spent either asking questions about Jaco to better understand his technique or other things and trying to figure out if he has anything to offer for you - otherwise, why are you wasting your time and other's time discussing irrational hatred?

And to the dude who wants to lump Henderix into the mix - and McCartney too - people, please. The reason that Jaco, Jimi, and Paul are relevant is because of not only WHAT they did, but WHEN they did it. If you don't recognize the context that surrounded each artist when they presented their special contribution, it is no wonder you make inane comments like, " Is it wrong to hate Jaco Pastorius?"

Not trolling? Come on... That's just like saying, "no offense, but you stink!" Just because you claim not to be trolling does not negate your overt act of trolling.
 
Hey Otso..When was the last time you recorded with the Temptations?!?!!?....yeah...thought so....Learn to respect good players...

Ignore him he's just trolling. Obvious he hasn't got a clue what he's talking about or knowing anything about the history of the instrument.

Wow, I thought my sarcasm would have been more obvious. I'm actually learning some of Jamerson's lines at the moment.
 
Yes. It is wrong to hate anyone or anything because hatred is shallow and weak. It is wrong to hate a musician that accomplished so much simply because it doesn't suit your taste. It is wrong to hate a human being you have never met. It is wrong to insult the dead. It is wrong for you, with your list of pentatonic idols, to start this thread and expect to get any satisfaction from it. Yes. It is wrong.
