Well then I guess we've all seen and heard some really off-key playing and I thought that it would be fun to share our moments of toenails curling upwards.
Now I'm a real admirer of the band Talk-Talk and their musicraft but their bass player should've stayed clear of anything fretless...

Don't shoot me for this but Rick Danko also should've stayed away from fretless basses, at least for the recording of this clip anyway.

Man, that Talk Talk was painful! I love their stuff, but.... Maybe he was having an off night? :-\
And Danko - he should have stayed away from the bong! ;D Seriously though, classic, rock, bass stylists shouldn't do instructional videos. Every one I've seen is embarrassing and hard to watch. They just never capture what it is about these guys that makes them so great.

I guess not...
Okay it's a given that two wrongs don't make a right. And I have a thing or two to say about Jack Bruce's fretless playing but when he teams up with Uli Jon Roth you get two guys with considerable technique and utterly atrocious intonation.

Wow, those clips are utterly aweful. Now I don't feel so bad about my own playing!!!
-
Oh come on, the Talk Talk bassist wears his bass up under his chin, he must be good!

I found another "sink-and-stink" clip.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Jungle man" live in 1985 during their first European tour supporting George Clinton. I guess the sound says enough here...

Thank you! That was a good laugh! :D

I have played a Wishbass and liked it (http://www.guitargear.net.au/discussion/Smileys/default/index-2.php.gif)
Mind you now having heard Wishnevsky himself play one, has brought a whole new dimension to the thought process involved in the building and design. (http://www.guitargear.net.au/discussion/Smileys/default/doh.gif)

Regardless of the fact that was a Wishbass, I thought the music was just awful (not to mention the tone). Definitely not what I'd consider a good marketing video.

Yep,thats kinda what i was saying. ;D

I SURRENDER!!!!!!!!!
Gawd that was bad, please put a knitting needle thru my head :sad:

You Americans! :o
I had never heard of Wilfred Brimley until this post so I checked him out. OMG, how bizarre.
I love one guys comments though:
:Andrew Wilson, of Joplin, MO, had a near-death experience with Brimley as the murderer rode through town on his Harley. “I was workin’ at the fillin’ station,” said Wilson, “and he pulled up and put one big boot on the ground and just shouted, ‘fill ‘er up!’ I explained to him that we weren’t a full serve station, and that he would have to pump it himself, and he just stuck that big ol’ Bowie knife in my gut without hesitating. Man, did that hurt! Luckily, it missed every major organ, so I’ll just have this cool scar to show my friends.”
FFS mate! are you serious, you just about got killed but its OK 'cause the scar is cool? LOL
Or this guys....
Norman Urler of Tahlequah, Okla., is less than impressed. “Heh, he thinks he’s so big and important with that ‘Liberty Mutual’ crap. Doesn’t he remember when he was just a schmuck TV actor who always played the grandfather? Well, I guess he’ll have plenty of time to think about it in prison while he’s being anally raped by a bunch of heavily muscled black men. Serves him right, sick bastard.”
I'm sorry guys but the comedy in this made me laugh out loud
What a classic comment.
Here is the story I read regarding WB for those few others who (like me) were ignorant of this event.

LMFAO First the guy on the wish bass and now Wilfred Brimley ! I just watch the China Syndrome the other night, Brimley was good in that.

I'm not hip to the Glossy News, but it sounds like an adequate replacement for the old World News that I miss so much ;D
Since the World News has gone away I've been in a tizzy wondering what happened to the Bat Boy and Bigfoots Love Slave and so many others ???
They cracked all the really big stories, like Bin Laden and Sadam Huessain being gay lovers , the aliens taking all our tadpoles and creating a frog shortage and Hitler coming back from outer space in a flying saucer and not aging a day in nearly 50 years. :o
I miss that kinda stuff. It's good to know that someone is picking up where they left off. I've gotta get me some of that Glossy News 8)

Not to mention Ed Anger's columns. The Clintons adopting the Space Alien baby who crashed into the Ozarks. And so much more.
But there's good news: Weekly World News is back, in a limited online edition: http://weeklyworldnews.com/. They're even having a Bat Boy look-alike contest.

Outstanding! :mrgreen:
I remember a SNL parody years ago back when Wilford was doing Quaker Oats commercials. In the parody, he says he doesn't know why anyone would eat oats anyway since they look like something somebody's already eaten. My feelings exactly.
-
A Bat Boy look alike contest!!!!! Damn....I'd buy a ticket to that in a minute ;D
Oh Boy, an on line edition!! My prayers have been answered ;D
