What's all the hate for Pete Wentz?

[Cole Louis Allar]

Pete Wentz cannot play bass. Period. He's a scenster who put himself in the right place at the right time. Rockstar? yes, musician? no.

Robert Trujillo is a fine bassist. You disagree? Ozzy and Metallica fans disagree with you.

Sid Vicious? Another scenster, not musician. I'm not quite so sure he recorded anything on bass.

Never said I liked Trujillo or not. I'm just saying what I heard from some sources

 

[hsech]

I think he's the one with that Squier signature sparkly mustang.

I thought that was Mikey Way. Another guy I've never heard of.

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

who is pete wentz?

 

[JMacBass65]

That probably started about 7 years ago.

Interesting. Don't know the specific timeline, but that should be around the time of their hiatus. Seems he has learned a few things about how to not be a dbag since then.

 

[Thundar]

I can think of players FAR worse than him (for example: Sid Viscious and I've heard Robert Trujillo is pretty bad too).!

Can we please get this nominated for "stupidest thread of 2016...so far"?

I can think of FAR FAR FAR WORSE players than Trujillo....Pete Wentz for starters!

Ya'll just spent 11 pages arguing over the most powerfully meaningless poopie ever, in the history of anything.

This should silence all doubters...

Who's Pete Wentz?

 

[SirMjac28]

Pete is a Grammy nominated millionaire bass player and with so many other Grammy nominated millionaire bass players on Talk Bass I'm surprised he's being singled out.

 

[One Drop]

Whatever dude, do you have a top 20 list I should memorize? Never heard of Will lee as far as I can tell.
\
Did I miss the list? Where is it posted? You didn't put Ashton Barrett on your list but he is probably the most well known reggae bassist in history and played on almost every major album of that genre.
Guess he's just filed under 'etc...'

Enlighten me, what would I have heard Sklar on? Maybe he's a session bassist, which mean everyone has heard him but nobody knows his name. Maybe I liked his playing and read the album jacket which listed the band's bassist and not the studio bassist.

---
Are there any other names I need to memorize before I play my bass. Would hate to not know a name that would definitely improve my playing.

It's Aston and he is on The List (note his use of etc). ;^ )

Thanks for name-checking him!

Like I mentioned, good habit in life is mot to repeat things you haven't experienced yourself or have evidence for.

People speak a lot of crap that should remain unrepeated.

 

[peledog]

Yeah. Those 'sources' seem made up to me.

 

[Ulf Buck]

I hate taht dude. Hes succesful has hot girlfriends and looks happy. Taint right.
mom yelled down the basement steps last week "son you sound way better than thos fallout boys and you are cuter and ssmarter too." So theres that too.
i know he cant pull off the friggintonic modes like me neither.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

I don't think people want to hate someone as much as they LOVE to hate someone.

I find it very curious that the OP started this thread less then 12 hours after having started the thread titled "I'm honestly sorry for all the stupid immature posts I put on here".

... . As for Trujillo I can't say much about him other than some websites and friends of mine said he's not very good compared to cliff burton.

Your intentions have fully been made clear with this post.

 

[fendermademygibson]

He is capable of much more than the fat check he settled for by joining new Metallica and in all honesty, could pull off Cliffs licks and more, while doing a spider dance with dual pony tails.

And all while wearing shorts.

 

[BaltBass5]

i mean don't get me wrong he's not the most technically proficient bass player in the world, but I can think of players FAR worse than him (for example: Sid Viscious and I've heard Robert Trujillo is pretty bad too). The man has an awesome stage presence and personality! Not to mention he really knows how to write songs lyrics!

Dude...get yourself some Suicidal Tendencies music, learn to play those bass lines, or any of the old Metallica stuff, or old Ozzy stuff and then say Trujillo is a bad bass player. Trujillo has more talent in his poop than Pete Wentz.

You should have to be 18 to post on TB. We need an 'ignore threads by' option. What's next, "Who is cuter, Shawn or David?"

You should change your name to "Mic Drop".

Whoever told you that Rob Trujillo is "pretty bad" is absolutely full of dogsh*t. Where did you hear that??
