Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Nah, we're just the only ones actually practicing bass while all these health nuts are running up their heart rate and taking time off their tickers they are, literally, running themselves straight towards death ....
how's THAT for rationalization?
I support this 110%. Bass, bbq, vodka and beer is a diet.
[Not a good one, but hey, lets not be pedantic]
hey, as long as it helps ease our suffering from the daily pain of existence. or something like that.
This. I love trail running and moved to a place specifically for access to it. I find it infinitely more interesting than road running. It takes a while to build up to the multi hour outings or real technical terrain, but those are the runs I find most meditative & cathartic.
All that said, running is definitely one of those that some people just can’t find the enjoyment in. I understand completely. If it’s not your jam try circuit training, mtb, sprints, KB training, whatever. Just find something you can be motivated to do and find some enjoyment in that will benefit your endurance on stage, if that’s the goal.
I run on and off. It’s hard to find time these days. I try to get out of the city and hike on the weekends. I started snowboarding again last season. Too many expensive hobbies...
My brother has managed to find enjoyment in it, so im sure its in there somewhere. Just hard to get going after having a 100% sedentary lifestyle working in an IT callcenter. Not to mention being like 6'2 270 lbs, got alot of mass to get moving! Luckily its starting to cool off outside, I started this when it was like 110vdegrees outside so I probably couldnt have picked a worse time.
I've been meaning to take up running for 5 years now. Full time job, spouse & 3 kids, live-in mother in law with early alzheimers, band, etc give me lots of excuses not to. But mainly I'm too lazy
This thread has hit a new low (I went back and forth on whether to use high or low, and with the usual content, this is definitely not high).
LEAST STONER/DOOM CONVERSATION EVER.
...and I really enjoy power lifting and running with the teams I coach. I'm a teacher and coach after school sports. My most recent achievement is that as a 6', 235 lbs, 38 year-old, I have the forth fastest 40 on my team... I showed those 8th graders who's boss.

Reflections of a Floating World by Elder and Dopesmoker are two of my fav albums to run to if that helps it get more on topic, lol
Yeah, you really ruined the thread man, thanks a lot! Reposting so that we can all see what @thombo did. This is definitely a real post and not fabricated in any way.
Whats more doom than the masochism in excersize. Destroy your body to build anew.
Can't stop laughing over that drawing...ahem post!
Took the words out of my mouth! Sorry to hear about the Alzheimer's. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. As horrible for them as their loved ones. I still get torn up thinking about my grandpa and his state before he left. Just awful.
That elder album would be an amazing soundtrack to a day.

In non-aerobic news, my band may have its first show next week, waiting on a confirmation from the venue. The gig won't be that great, but we need to get on a stage soon.
