Why does that matter on my opinion of their band? There's a McDonald's on every corner and that's trash, too

Stu Hamm Hears Vulfpeck For The First Time
- Thread starter Fondsdale
- Start date
You were slaking the player, not the band. Do what you want, but it doesn't impress anyone. You'd think this thread would clearly show you that.
I dunno what "slaking" is, but I only ever mentioned vulfpeck and a signature bass. You brought up the the player and I responded. Best check those previous posts
Also, what's up with having an opinion on talkbass? Kinda feels like the mean girls clique where you all have to like the same shade of lipstick.
I enjoyed the Video and Stu
He did say all nice things about other Bassist and also said Music sucks without Bass so there's that
PS: I also avoided Rush based on Vocals and stopped playing loud mean music 40 years ago

I feel like this got glossed over... You own the bass from The Urge album cover?
Anyway, the band is just a cheap clone of Tower Of Power.
I saw Stu some years ago perform solo at a bar and he was highly entertaining. There are few people on the planet that can put on a one man show just playing bass and telling stories.
In South America many basslines are sung by crowds:
Others I remember: Juicebox by The Strokes, Otherside by RHCP, Evil by Interpol..
Stu Hamm calling Vulfpeck Beyoncé was the joke that I thought was the funniest because he sounded like a clueless old man. I thought cracking on Geddy was funny too because Geddy is an icon and nothing a virtuoso with a niche audience is going to say will matter to Geddy at all.
"Hey guys, have you ever wondered what TOP would sound like quantized and sterilized? Let's start a project!"
"But what shall we wear?"
"Well, I just saw this old film called Revenge Of The Nerds..."

If Stu Hamm gets immortalized as a "grumpy grandma" meme because of this video then he definitely wins the Internet and we all contributed to that publicity.
I doubt it many posters here fit the 'Grumpy Grandma' more than Stu did in that video
But are any of us in TalkBass as high profile/famous/meme-worthy as Stu Hamm, hmmm?
I hate to say it, but I agree with the comments section that Stu DID look like a grandma. That haircut was NOT doing him any favors. And this is the Internet age where how you appear on camera/screen is pretty important.
Even back in the 60s it was important. Note the Kennedy-Nixon presidential debate. Kennedy had makeup on and looked more poised on TV than sweaty, fidgety Nixon, so those who had TVs thought he won. But those who heard the debate on the radio thought Nixon won because he had the better talking points.

Funny video and even funnier reactions from people who are really looking to be offended here.
It doesn't seem to me that Hamm took it very seriously and that's something which quite a few people should perhaps try out sometime.

I'm positive that Stu couldn't give two
's what anyone here thinks of his looks, nor should he.Y'all need to get a grip, good lord.....

So Vulfpeck doesn't measure up to the greatest funk band ever? Wow, how damning.
