Stone/Doom Bassists Thread Part 39: Flip Flops & Zubaz!

I don't know man. He paid his dues in the Germs. That was when being a punk rocker meant catching an ass whooping. Being a punk didn't get cool until it hit the third time with Green Day (IMO). Previously, the only top 40's punk band was The Clash. By the time they reached that status, one could debate if the music they were playing even was punk... (Rock the Casbah, anyone?)

Anywho. Love him or hate him, Pat isn't getting any free rides.

Fair enough.

I used to love the Germs.

Also, I just checked out Gibsons bass selection. It keeps getting bigger. They must have hired someone who gives a **** about bassists and Gibsons legacy. I want almost all of them. Especially this:

+1. If they want to call it a survivor reunion or something, Dave on Drums/Vox, Krist on bass, and Pat on guit. And they should have played a song that featured Pat on guitar, like Heart Shaped Box...

Although, I am not a Nirvana fan so maybe this wouldn't have made anyone happy either... But, Dave would have sung it really well.

+1 Paul didnt need to be there.

Pat has totally paid his dues. And. That midtown standard is pretty sweet.

I'm not going to make a lot of friends with post.

I just watched a minute of Sir Paul, Pat, Dave, Krist.

1) That was not Nirvana

2) It was a pretty good song (but I didn't recognize it).

For me...the litmus test for maturity is being able to admit that something has talent but you personally don't enjoy it.

I wouldn't buy the album but there is so much ****ing talent on that stage and they weren't stepping on each others toes like so many megastar super groups.

And...I want that bass! Do you thing it was a signature model?

I won't deny the talent. After sleeping on it... it seems like the whole song was probably put together quickly, maybe even right before the show. Have to admit most musicians tasked with that probably couldn't pull it off with that much skill. As a nirvana tribute, which is what it was hailed as, it was an abomination. Resting on their own talents and as a song... it was meh. Something I wouldn't listen to or buy but still better than some of the garbage out there.

Either way it was a cool concert and I'll have to watch it back later because I missed huge parts.

So...who has gotten a better free ride in rock music than Pat Smear?

It makes me smile everytime I see him working.

Lol I say that every time. Apparently he's working with the foo fighters again.

Good for you. My cousin's into this kind of stuff. Ex-military. Loves working out. Love's beating the crap out of me. He's all about bettering yourself and surpassing your limits in a total non-jock way.

Working out with him was the only time I ever thought I was gonna puke. He turned me onto Crossfit but I'm a total pansy.

I prefer Ninja Warrior!

Sweet. I did the lite version, The Dirty Dash. Lots of fun. Wear clothes you don't care about. My group Dressed up all 80's. I had a Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure shirt on. They gave me a super nice tshirt for after the race too. Softest t I own. Next is that Supervoid. Man, that thing is cozy.

Those g3's look cool but I played a g1 in Chicago and it sucked major balls. I do own a '76 g1 to compare it to and at te price point, vintage all day. You would be able to tell you have had several grabbers right?

My G1 was my coolest one but it smelled like old cheese.

My G3 sounded the best but wasn't hip enough for me at a time in my life when I cared about that ****.

Plus I used to pick with a wide swing and I kept hitting the pickup selector:mad:

I'm not doing tech-grind-death-metal anymore so my playing is more relaxed.

I think it would work for my current project.
