Let's spread some musical misinformation

Which, in turn triggered Leo to develop best bass for metal, the P-Bass.

Steve Harris, Nikki Sixx, and Lemmy would have endless debates about what is the best bass for metal. Geezer Butler refused to debate the topic claiming that heavy metal started downhill in 1972 when Deep Purple released Machine Head and until heavy metal found its way, there was no need to know the best bass for metal.

Nowadays the best bass for each sub sub sub genre of metal is debated.

The Rolling Stones started as a bluegrass band, trying to capitalize on the Skiffle craze that was sweeping the UK. But the wash tub bass, foggy mountain breakdown runs on guitar and cockney inflection on vocals werent really getting the following they were hoping for, so they redirected.

The next incarnation involved elaborate bandstands and tuxedos, which proved too problematic to deal with in pubs and school dances, so they finally hit their magic formula and have stuck with it ever since.

Actually Jimmy Page and other members of the Led Zeppelin band also started out playing Skiffle. At a young age Page wanted to go into Bilogical Research but as time went on he opted to combine his love for playing music with illicit Chemical Research. Here's the proof...

Using looper & a delay at the same time will cause ripples in time allowing invading alien armies from the future to take over earth.

You are not allowed to write new Blues songs, under the penalty of 20 years imprisonment or losing a hand.

Actually, his real name is Reginald Dopplethwaite, and his first job was as bassist in an Appalachian Country band, which didn't last long, for rather obvious reasons.

Later on he played bass for the Alabama Hoodoo Minstrels' where the band leader, Professor Jughead would shout out "Count, bassisit" at the beginning of each song.

When Reggie finally formed his own band, he took his new name with him.

Reggie Workman?

Or the bass could be tuned differently...

Great musicians never use standard tuning.

Great musicians never use standard tuning.

Standard tuning is for starters, so they can read tabs and play along.

 

[Jay2U]

According to a Fender spokesman, tuners will be obsolete by the year 2020.

During the Middle Ages, the major sixth was considered the most erotic interval of them all. This idea sprung from the days of Ancient Rome, during which massive orgies would take place whenever a major sixth was played.

This is the reason why Rock n' Roll is so heavily associated with sex, as playing the classic "boogie woogie"-riff on guitar summons the sexy major sixth.
