Yep, Jeroen is certainly versatile, he actually started playing bass for a flamenco band. IMO he shatters the metal bassist stereotype of having no musical knowledge, he has studied microtonality for so long he has each octave divided into 72, that's 4 microtones in each semitone, I think that is pretty impressive.

OK. This thread just went from humorous to a competition as to how much each person can complain about how everybody treats metalheads meanly, and nobody understands, etc.

People, it's meant solely as humor. Nobody is attacking you character. We're just having a bit of fun.

Yeah, we know, but the anti metal sentiment gets old after a while and it's good to get some of the frustration out, although this thread probably isn't the place to do it. Prety much all of the 'best for metal' threads that I've seen end up like this.

I'm not personally offended, but there is a point at which jokes just stop being funny, and not only have we driven far past that point, we've actually arrived in the next town over and have started a small business selling novelty t-shirts with "Best T-Shirt for Metal" printed on them.

While its certainly not the best example, imagine putting a whoopie cushion down on somebody's seat. The first time they sit down and it makes a fart noise, sure is kinda funny and every has a laugh, but when you do that to the SAME person EVERY day, you shouldn't be surprised when they get a bit irritated by it.

Doesn't matter, as long as you play them on an early '80s B.C. Rich bass, with a blood splatter or crackle finish & reverse pointy peghead, through an old Ampeg SVT that hasn't been re-tubed since it was purchased, at insane volumes that cause the five people in the audience (all of which are girlfriends of the band members) to have unintentional & uncontrolable bowel movements. :hiding:

btw, just joking. You know the old saying - If they can't take a joke...

You mean I can put a whoopie cushion down in the same spot and people will keep falling for it?!?!?!?
COOL!

But seriously, if a moderator wants to stop this thread, then DO IT! People are starting to get irate, which was not my intentions.
