      Gabriel Hole-Jones Here's the secret. When they tell you to turn it even lower, respond by unplugging your bass, setting it down, and ask them if that's low enough.

      Yea, I mean after a while I think the band lightened up on him. But, I think that everyone thinks the rest of the band is what drove him out of Metallica but really it was James. James heart and soul is Metallica and any side projects by any other band member he thinks they are not committed to Metallica and I think I read something just recently about this to that he restated this as well. So if say Kirk where to start a little side project James would get pissed. But, either way James is a guitar god, in my opinion.

      @nolandailey3362 6 років тому +37

      From a guitarists perspective, i completely agree. Ive tried bass before and its not as similar to guitar as people think. The smaller number of strings doesnt make it easier, it makes it harder because you dont have as high a scale to play across.

    • @BlockcastjethroActual
      @BlockcastjethroActual 5 років тому +22

      Bass is as hard as you want it to be anyone can play easy riffs, feel good gorriliaz, smeels like teen spirit, or another bites the dust or under pressure but the serious players actual bassist not the guitarists who think they know bass will be jamming in their own riffs and will be adding improvization and fills to their bass playing to add more of a grouve i knew a guy who was a guitarist quite a allright one he used to say bass is so easy its a easier guitar you just hit one note i bought him over to play a song that he said was easy on base that being bohemian rhapsody as it has lots of single notes and follows a pattern nothing was better then watching him eat his words and get lost multiple times and then he saw me play it perfectly and add in improv thats the phrase don't knock it till you try it comes in alot of guitarists or even drummers assume base is easy and thats cause they learn the easy stuff theirs a ranking of difficulty it goes something like this
      Nirvana -> Late Greenday -> Early Greenday -> Tool -> Queen -> RHCP -> Primus in terms of difficulty on the bass guitar these are good examples of a scale from easy enough that anyone can learn to so hard that you want to bite your fingers off

  • @wifinne

    As a bassist, i have a few things to say.
    - This is hella accurate!
    - I love the people commenting how we bass players don't get enough respect
    - Y'all saying bass isn't needed in a band, I'd like to hear you say that after you've played without one!
    - And to the people saying bassist are the laziest: That's not true at all! I personally practice a lot (almost 5 hours a day if i have the time). I love playing the bass so I'm ready to work for it so I can become better at it and make people proud. At school, people laugh at me and call me "a guitarist who failed playing the guitar so decided to play bass". I'm not. My father plays bass and used to play in a band. I always wanted to play bass like him ever since I was a little girl.
    There, I'm done.

    Thoughts of a guitar player.
    "Band practice, the place where I can gather to jam with my friends, and the bassist..." (Bassist arrives) "Oh, he's here... What's his name again? Jeff? Jeremy? James? Oh whatever, he doesn't do shit anyways... Alright! Time to play a song, let's warm up with sweet child o mine." (Starts playing the song) "Oh my god I'm awesome at this." "Is the drummer gonna come in yet or... (Drummer hits snare by accident.) "Oh my god this guy can't do this right! What's *his* name? Oh well..." (Rhythm guitarist comes into the room) "Who's this guy? Oh he's the- mascot? Oh he's a guitarist. Do we have another guitarist? I never noticed."(Singer starts singing) "Wait, this guy SUCKS I could TOTALLY sing better than him?" (Bassist starts playing) "Hey Jeremy, can you play already?" "Oh he is..." (Drummer starts playing when noone else is) "SHUT UP!"

I was only 12 years old at the time. Despite having a first bad experience, playing bass is one of by biggest priorities besides school. I love it.

    This sounds like the inner monologue of almost every bassist I've worked with. In all seriousness, it's hard to find any musicians that can't get their ego out of their ass. Every instrument is important and is great in its own way.

      Yes I enjoy it very much! Laying down the low end, compared to the role of the drummer or vocalist, is something else. In a good way, I love the feeling.
      I stil have to learn a lot though (speed, finger-independency etc), but practicing every day should do the trick. ;)

    In my band we're all friends. Of course we make fun of our bassist a lot but it's just banter and he knows it. It would be very hard if our bassist left since we are all very close and nobody feels left out or laughed upon. And this is the way every band should function! I know this video just makes fun of all the stereotypes but I sincerely feel sorry for everyone who is treated like this
