Stoner/Doom Bassists #65: Wasted Under the Brim

Had a blast last night at our show in Seattle. We ended up headlining and played to a pretty well occupied room. Great turnout for a Monday night! Even got paid enough to cover gas costs to get there. :)

Can't really ask for more.

We're playing in 2 weeks and I think we're headlining. I'm not sure. I usually prefer to play in the middle because I'm old and tired.

I have merch for the first time in my life and I hope we sell some. Not for gas money or beer money. But to actually pay back those who invested in the shirts and CD's. Does that make me a professional?

I just thought of something while I was posting this. This show seems decently matched so I don't think we'll suffer from people coming to see one band and then leaving.

Right on man, get some merch going and you might actually walk away with more money than you came in with. So I've heard, breaking even is about my best case gig scenario.
 
My wife goes from 0 to rage now every time I play a youtube pedal demo video, lol. She's so sick of it. Pedals are just fun, they're like my little friends down there giving me confidence ;p. I think a few more pedal toys then I need to get some nice amps somehow... wife's drum set is killing me right now. She would have to have the nice **** right? :rollno:

Oh and on a side note, about 36 hours no cigarette... I keep goin from not thinking about it to wanting to demolish the world. About another day and a half I should have the taste out of my mouth.

Headphones, for the first part.

For the second, perhaps play some video games like the GTA series and take out your frustration on that?
 
I have the same problem I can never think of music to buy when I want some new stuff to listen to. Sometimes I think to myself that I shouldn't buy so much music in the genre I play. That way that song stuck in my head doesn't end me thinking its a original riff and trying to use it. Think about it, how many times has anyone brought in a song then another member busts you out and says "hey that's so n' so, this track!" ? I've done it a couple times.

I can think of lots of albums and bands I want to get.

Until I'm actually in the record store. Then I start drawing blanks.
 
Ya same here....constantly have to clean up after them. Hard for us to say anything because we are the new guys but they leave their gear up and trash the place. One of the guitar players for the other band bought a bunch of brand new pedals and just left the boxes, wrappers, and some of the pedals just laying around. I just kicked it into a pile and out of my way. Sucks because we have to set up and tear down except for drums every practice but its either that or no practice at all since there just isnt anywhere to jam around here.


Going to see the Meat Puppets this Friday.

In our case, one of the bands brought in a whole other drum set without asking anybody, and then another of the other bands rearranged everything to suit them perfectly, in a way that is less than ideal for us.
 
Actually Varg never dropped the LOTR thing, Burzum means darkness in black speech.

Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Nerd out.

Yes, but he stopped going by Grishnackh, and became super lame.
 
i think FMV is a useless EQ, i mean you dont really much adjustment of bass or treble while the mids can only be less cut at maximum but then again I play guitar, we occupy different worlds

I actually like it a lot more on guitar than on bass. On bass, the FMV mid control my amp has is next to useless and it never moves from its spot at 10. On guitar I typically have it set anywhere between 4 and 7.
 
He was always lame. In other news, he and his wife were arrested in france today, apparently they were planning some sort of terrorist attack. :rolleyes:

But Filosofem is still one of the best bm albums ever. :hiding:

He was always lame, yes, but when he stopped going by Grishnackh, he became super lame. There was an exponential increase in his lameness.


Always thought his music sounded lame, too.
