If you can't hear it how do you know if you like it or not?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I can hear it on Empiricism, just not as well as past Borknagar albums. He didn't play bass on Epic, Asgeir did but the bass is so low in that album it practically isn't there.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

so how is that tyr's fault then exactly? he played on one album for them and it's full of creative things. the first four songs alone have some pretty mindblowing stuff, in terms of what he's doing and how fast he's doing it.

anybody whos name isnt claypool/digiorgio/chancellor/webster isn't gonna be sitting on top of the mix.

do you even know how to differentiate between a fretted and a fretless bass? or are you just making this shit up as you go along?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I do know the fucking difference I've been playing bass 7 years.

This isn't about his bass playing, it's about how he runs the Borknagar forum. Also, Empiricism is by far the worst piece of shit they've put out.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

if you've been playing for 7 years how dont you hear what he's playing and how creative some of it is

 

[~Lynn~]

because he's a fucking moron.

 

[El Stormo]

pepperoni, sausage and roasted garlic

Haha, now that must make for an awesome breath weapon afterwards!

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

because he's a fucking moron.

I think I'm gonna concede on this one

I had pizza for lunch and I also like summer squash, but not on pizza

Holy shit, I love summer squash.

My dinner was uneventful, I had a pita pocket sammich and string beans. I could not figure out what else to have with it.

ok now imagine a white pizza with spinach, roasted garlic and gorgonzola cheese...now that's a weapon...the impending flatulence after consumption is very very dangerous

 

[Kvlt Wench]

I've been getting into pineapple on pizza lately.

try ham and pineapple, but add pepperoni too, delicious I tell you

 

[Captain Beard]

He's right.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

I usually get pineapple and sausage.

To its wielder as well, because I'm pretty sure the kind of farts you squeeze out after that are so hot they burn the barrel, so to speak.

 

[Captain Beard]

But holy fuck would it taste fantastic when you ate it.

 

[El Stormo]

Absolutely, and the horrified faces of those in vicinity of a fart salvo would make it doubly enjoyable.

 

[Captain Beard]

I'm an anal weapons master... I should test this pizza and report back. The best fart production I ever had came from Polish barley soup, btw. Think the Wonka Wash horns, but sulfurous.

Meh, as of late I'm of the opinion that some forms of music are just better without a bass player. It depends on what you're trying to create. If it's a chugga chugga riff type band then you probably should get a bassist for that low frequency. But then again, look at AJFA.

For my band personally, we're much better without a bassist. We can get the lower frequencies we need from Reason's effects and add so much more to them, all without the drama of having a bassist.

In my experience with bassists, they've just been detrimental to the band. The small contributions they've made to the bands I've been in were completely overshadowed by their inability to overcome their inferiority complex, causing lots of inner strife within the band. Unless they're the DiGiorgio/Claypool/Chancellor type, bassists should just keep their mouths shut, do their jobs, and get paid. You wanna write a song? Then write a song, but write all the parts, not some goofy bassline and tell us to write the rest around that. Also, they have this uncanny ability to tell you that they don't like what you're playing, but have no idea how to make it better. Know your role and STFU.

The only things worse than the inferiority complexes of bassists are the inferiority complexes mixed with the gargantuan egos of keyboardists. The frontman ego pales in comparison to that of a keyboardist.

Hawaiian pizza (canadian bacon (ham) and pineapple) is best with peppercinis.
