The most successful bass player couldn't play bass how come?
That's not paul mccartney
>>123689590mccartney is a good bass player
The most financially successful sells them with his name on it and all he did was slap a little.
Nikki Sixx couldn't play bass either and Motley Crue have more than one famous song people know.Then again, I feel like that was another fabricated myth to give Crue punk cred or w/e. There's no way a dude who couldn't play bass was the lead writer of a band as big as they were.
>>123689584>>123689620Because practicing technique is counter-productive and gives you the curse of knowledge. The more tech you know the less musical you become.
>>123689584>successful>junkie>murderer >dead at 21>broke Pick one
>>123689584>be edgy in a time when pearl clutching conservatives were influential enough to merit evoking a reaction of them to fuck with them>be a druggie junkie>die with your gf >or die on heroin >be immortalized for being a dumb fuck associated with a band accredited for shaping punk as a definitive sound and cultural movement/thing >dumbass tik tok faggot zoomers idolize him for being "punk rock" because they have no culture or personality other than being vapid and dumb
>>123689584>kills his girlfrienddamn that's VICIOUS
>>123690733I doubt zoomers even know who he is. They think the 00s is "old school" and revere Chester Bennington, the guy from N Sync or w/e.
>>123689584Because bass is for only a few kinds of people. People who have serious talent and know what the fuck to do with a bass and "oh, that girl can't play anything, sing or write music but is gorgeous, put her on bass duty." Or, "this dude has the hard edge we need to fill out the presence on stage, but he's shit at music. Put him on bass." It's easier to fake being passable on bass than on drums, vocals or guitar. Then everybody hears a guy like Claypool slaying on 7 string and they don't even know what instrument is doing it.
>>123691456Interesting that Richey Edwards fit the latter type but got put on rhythm guitar instead
>>123689584Nancy Spungen was Jewish yet he walked around with a swastika t-shirt kek
>>123692186That's because he had a final solution planned for her
>>123689584even im better that syd vicious
>>123689584>>123690733im a zoomer and id never heard of this guy before coming to this board. le projector
