Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 28: Chicken Pot Pie

[Kaa]

Crash is a Cronenberg film.

Dead Ringers is another one worth watching.

Really? I could have sworn it was a Lynch flick. Must have gotten all sidetracked by deborah Unger and missed it.

Dunwich: You really ought to make some patches with your wizard logo on it too. I'm thinking of putting together a "doom" battle jacket out of an old sweatshirt and I'd love to have some awesome custom builders on there. Plus I just love the logo you put on the Annunaki.

So, since it seems like my old, failing body won't allow me to play bass much (as it stands), or guitar, what the heck am I gonna play for my music fix?

I was contemplating drums, but I have tendonitis in both thumbs that flares up when I have to grip things, so I'm leery of trying them.

I could buy a keyboard to make beepy/synthy noises....or heavy faux electric bass.

Taurus Pedals!

Hello.

I play in a stoner band too, The Dead Shamans, quite new but already a lot of gigs in the fingers :

LOL!! I can see me just doing the Taurus pedals during songs, and not doing anything at all with my arms, just letting them hang there as I stare angrily at audience members.

Hate that movie. I've watched almost every DL movie and haven't liked a single one, I keep trying though ha ha

mullholland drive

[ampegfuzz]

dead ringers is awesome, its just so weird.

im glad cronenberg lately has been doing more just awesome depressing movies instead of just straight weirdo ****.

i still need to see naked lunch.

So, a few days later and I'm still not feeling anything for this green Ric. This is the first time in a couple of years that I've bought a bass that wasn't at least 25 years old. Maybe I just don't like new basses =P It's 10 years old but pretty mint. I just like the blue one a lot more.

I've seen them enough ha ha. I just can't get into it. He's weird for the sake of being weird and not driving the plot forward

 

[beebassdude]

just so were clear:

David Lynch movies:

Elephant man (his best movie IMO)
Dune
Mullholland drive
Lost Highway
Blue Velvet
Eraserhead
twin peaks (show)

Cronenberg:

Eastern Promises
History of Violence
The Fly
Naked Lunch
Dead Ringers
Scanners

if you havent seen elephant man, i highly recommend it. one of the best movies of the 80s, seriously unreal movie. if you dont cry at the end of the movie you might as well donate your heart to science or a black metal band.

MD is better than lost highway (although watching patricia arquette get nailed is awesome lol), but MD is so awesome on so many levels. its just a way more mature and better version of lost highway.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Naked Lunch is pretty F-ed up.

Agree. couldn't make it more than 1/2 way through before I said, "I'd rather mow the lawn."

While I am a huge Cronenberg fan I don't love Naked Lunch on the whole. Though there are some unreal visuals in that film.

I thought A Dangerous Method sucked. He was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one, but he could have done some crazy psycho-sexual **** on that one and instead made it totally by the numbers boring. If I didn't know he had done it I would have never guessed.

If you can get past the low production values his early films are pretty good Shivers, Rabid, The Brood. Scanners is kind of boring other than the head exploding scene.

Well... cheaperthandirt.com has 500 rounds of the cheapest garbage .223 is $129 currently, 500 rounds of the cheapest garbage 7.62x39 is $112. .223 is a really common hunting rifle round, so I'd expect that locally, in a zombie apocalypse scenario, .223 would be more common to scavenge for. 9mm would be the most common, and I currently want a 9mm just for that reason. I have .223/5.56, .45 auto, and .357 mag/.38 special covered now.

I'm not a fanboi, I chose an AR but still highly respect the AK. Given what you said though you outta look into AR's. On the flipside, the AK would be more reliable with less maintenance and upkeep. I was thinking of going AK for that reason, but then realized that my AR cleaning kit is the size of a pop can, and if soldiers can clean their rifles daily in the field, no reason I can't clean mine.

I'd be more confident that I could hit a man-sized target at 200 yards in a single shot with the AR over the AK. I have no doubt I'd nail it within 3 shots of the AK, but the accuracy of the AR is pretty menacing.

You have some valid points my friend, I'll have to look into the AR's and see if the price difference will be worth it. Thanks for the info!

Been emailing back and forth with Nick all afternoon. Mad scientist pedal creations may be in the works. That's what happens when I have pedalboard fueled GAS and access to this thread all day at work.

Welcome to my daily life hahahaha

A Serbian Film
Enter the Void

Are the two craziest movies I've seen recently. I'm sure there were more. But those stand out.

That's your inner hipster telling you it's no good because it's not vintage.

Also worth mentioning, I built my AR from parts ordered online from various USA manufacturers for about $800 all said and done. It uses higher quality components than an $800 off-the-shelf DPMS or Bushmaster (in my opinion.) I'd never even shot an AR before assembling one. Thats not the smartest way to do it, and I was alittle nervous pulling the trigger for the first time, but its run about 750 rounds now without a failure.

Haven't seen A Serbian Film. Not sure I want to.

Enter the Void was the most unique/mind blowing thing I have seen in awhile. If you watch this film make sure to give it a chance. At first I was like *** is this but it turns out to be really cool.

Dude...just reading the wikipedia on A Serbian Film when it came out gave me nightmares. I never want to see that movie. All my friends who have seen it say they will never watch it again.
