Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I try not to get political here, because this is a happy place, but for shag's sake:

Scott Walker: If I can handle protesters, I can defeat ISIS - Business Insider

Scott, if you've got it all figured out then GO THE HELL OVER THERE AND GET IT DONE.

Cross-eyed dipsh*t.


Also - I protested in 2011. Apparently that warrants comparing me to a psychotic terrorist. Thanks, Gov. I really appreciate it. I'm glad to know that you think so highly of me and a bunch of teachers, firefighters and EMS crews.

What's that plastic circle tab my northern brethren?
 
if i never play with two guitarists again i won't be disappointment.

3 pieces for me. With two guitarists I just feel like I get boxed out, there isn't enough room for me to play the way I naturally want to without everything becoming too cluttered. Although I'd like to plauy with a good organist again some time.

Edit: This isn't to say I don't love dual guitars, but I've yet to find two guitar players that play well enough off of each other while still keeping in tune to the rest of the band. Obviously it can work (Allman Bros, etc), I've just yet to get it to work. I wouldn't be against it if I could find players capable of it.
 
Stoopid question - I'm thinking Stoner/Doom needs two guitars. Having to cover the rhythm part on bass during the leads wouldn't sound like Stoner/Doom methinks? I like to stay down in the earthquake octave myself ;) .
Sleep, Yob, Black Sabbath, Goatsnake all come to mind.

Why? Second guitarist is more drama and more cancelled practices. I got all of this from my drummer, thank you. I'll keep my single one :D
But seriously, it's just more space to explore and make yourself heard. It's fun!
We have three guitarists and rarely cancel practice.

I actually don't really agree with the "more room" thing often cited on TB as an advantage of one guitar. When a guitar solos, when there's only one, I actually feel more compelled to hold down the riff.

RIP Leonard Nimoy. Fugg.
I know. :'(

He really is a moron. There are some smart Republicans, I'm sure, but he certainly isn't one.

I heqar you. I live in friggin' Oklahoma. All the politicians her from the Governor to members of Congress to City Council people are beyond idiotic.

You ever hear of Jim Inhoffe?

*statewide facepalm*)
I've heard of him, yes.

Haven't heard anything good.

It's not much of a problem in Catapult really.

Of course, none of our guitarists solo in the traditional sense.
