Buddy Holly but there's no bass

[@stapler942]

The kick drum said "Hold on. I got this."

[@Jaime_1969]

The bass drum can be heard better without the bass guitar

[@Copelandwastaken]

@@Jaime_1969 Yes its a big thump basically but quiet.

[@acedepth]

Removing the bass from any song makes it sound so different. BASS IS IMPORTANT

[@riythemusicguy7696]

Literally the most imperative part of the sound pyramid

[@SW3channel]

tell that to the white stripes

[@scoutgaming737]

Yeah the voices are too overpowering now

[@brandanmaza2413]

matt sharp is still there (falsetto at the bridge), he just forgot his bass guitar

[@Yeahimagamer]

Surprise appearance

[@TheChasedanger]

rivers forget his guitar too apparently

[@TeeHeeTwinkleToes]

This is why a bassist is always needed, too bad Matt is always overlooked 😔

[@Nothingevergoesasitseems]

Mikey/Scott too

[@hicourtneyyourthedevil5844]

I hear people talk about Matt sometimes, but the last time I heard anybody mention Pat was... never. Nobody acknowledges Pat. :(

[@TheNirvanaNerd87]

This is why bassists shouldn’t just be seen as just a random person

[@UtubeTrollUTTPPolice]

sir, you lost a rhythm guitar and the bass is still in some parts

[@Yeahimagamer]

Skill issue for me (I used rock band stems)

[@ChewedGumFilms]

Rivers looks really intimidated because he's the shortest one there

[@GayLesbianAutisticSmithsFan]

as a short person, I can confirm I live my entire life in fear. everything I step outside I have a panic attack because im so intimidated by the tall aura radiating off of the big ones

[@smart_person-n7k]

he's always been the shortest in the album covers

[@harzombiedestroyer]

i like the detail of how the person who plays the bass is just gone in the blue album

[@TheLemonadeMann]

He has a name you know.

Not just the bass, but even the background vocals too.😔

[@budgiegd]

should be weezer but no "sharp" notes

[@Mmlpfana]

Good one :D

[@Mullerology]

Nobody wants to know the bassists name until they're not there

[@sotoroiguess69]

Buddy Holly if it was on “…And Justice For All”.

[@FairyCRat]

Not sure if this is just a problem with the available stems, but these memes always end up removing more than what they say. There clearly are 2 guitars in the song, but whenever there's a lead, this meme also removes the rhythm guitar, hence why it feels so empty and weird.

[@Yeahimagamer]

That's down to the stems I used, these were quick shitposts I didn't pay much attention to, hence why I didn't notice that until after uploading

[@nathantran-trinh3086]

These stems come from Rock Band, which is where a ton of other multitracks for other rock songs also originate from (or Guitar Hero, same difference). These usually break things down into guitar-drums-bass-vocalsandeverythingelse but often not that cleanly, and are almost never true isolated multitracks.

I particularly like this because

Plot twist: matt finds an old guitar and tunes it like a bass

[@Florida_boy]

Is nobody gonna mention that the rhythm guitar is also missing? Bass part or not it's of course going to sound empty.

[@Yeahimagamer]

Me when the stems are rock band

[@drinkwater69420]

If buddy holly was in AJFA

[@PumpyBoBo]

the pre chorus and post chorus sound like dry unseasoned chicken on a tuesday night

[@launchingpencil8]

the name changed because theres no "base" (Weez) so its just er

[@frozenburrito2.087]

Guess by bass they also mean backup vocals

[@ShaderrXD]

it sounds T E R R I B L E without bass.

[@gopetogle]

(2023 Lars Ulrich remix)

[@UploadBotYT]

that one guy who is bass in fortnite festival:

[@synkro_nyze]

It sounds so light and empty.

[@KieraKG]

Wait what why does it sound so different

[@braziliantsar]

Because he accidentally removed the rhythm guitar in some parts. It's not just the bass and Matt Sharp's voice that is missing

[@tophbeifoŋg]

thats what i’m saying! i know it sounds different without a bass but there is some guitar parts missing

[@KieraKG]

@ yeah like what??

Ah, the Linkin Park approach. Very bold.

[@metalpunk2864]
