    1:35 - This point is actually great to make. Kim Deal, bassist for Pixies and lead singer of The Breeders, once pointed out how hard it was for bassists to not add some flair or show-off whenever they were playing her basslines. She said it was the hardest thing in the world for some people to just keep basslines simple. There is an art to it, certainly.

    Canonball is a fun song in part because it is a compendium of every mistake a beginner band could make. Coming in on the wrong note, and fixing it in the next bar like maybe nobody will notice. Vocals coming in on the wrong beat, and skipping half a verse of words like "I meant to do that". Just canonballing past every screwup. On purpose. You hear it, they've moved on, it works. Fantastic song.

    Vivaldi's Spring has entered the chat. The simplest bass line I have ever played. Quarter note A for a long time, and 56 (I think that's the number? It's quite a lot) measures of rest, more quarter note A. So if you ever want to impress a music snob, you can tell them you have Spring from the Four Seasons memorized.

    01:45 "They'll always find something to complain about" Spot on! I'm always reminded of Goggin's quote "If you can walk on water, your haters will say it's cos you can't swim". Recognition and approval from others is good to have but it's always better to set your own standards and goals. So you can continue to put in the work and earn the respect of your own self, regardless of the validation and opinions of others. Just keep building that stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are and eventually want to be. It's probably the only way to build genuine self confidence.

    @@herpyderpy4366 I've had similar discussions about various forms of expression. The world of literature needs its Shakespeares as much as it needs it's Stephen Kings. The art of music must come in just as varied forms and the arrogance some music fans show has them missing out on some wonderful experiences. We need our Bachs and our Beethovens, our Beatles and our Rollings Stonse, our Cat Stevens and Leonard Cohens, and our Taylor Swifts and Lady Gagas. All forms of expression are there to distill the human condition down into a form that we can share. Great pop tunes that makes you just wanna get up and dance is just as important as the experimental artist creating unique and complex soundscapes.... the key, I think, is the artist following their instinct as a creator and not simply chasing a quick buck... that invariably produces work that satisfies no-one.

    What some people might be missing as well, in that first clip of Gene, he's clearly focusing on playing the crowd and building hype as opposed to laying down a heavy baseline. A good performer doesn't just play their instrument, but they play the crowd as well, get them riled up and excited! Especially considering a lot of people who go to concerts don't necessarily have the expendable income to do it whenever, it's usually something they save and plan for, and you want to give those people a good show! When my band was performing (small deathcore garageband, our biggest show was like...20 or 30 people lol) I had this thing I did which was basically just making random guttural sounds. It was simple, easy, but the crowd would always reply in turn, so while it wasn't a "display of my true vocal talent", it got the crowd engaged and excited! KISS is doing it on a much grander scale than a few 20 year olds like me and my band were back in the day, but the same concept still applies! ^-^

    My son introduced me to Manëskin. I didn’t know Victoria was the bassist but before I did find out, I always thought that the bass lines were pretty good. The first song I’ve heard was “Beggin’” and being a decent cover, the first thing that caught my attention was the bass line. I guess with recent performances people have started to question her bass playing ability but I think it’s only because she’s showing so much skin. I can’t believe people would question Flea though. One person who I do question their skills, at least for live performances is Lars Ulricg of Metallica. I find his drum solos uninspiring. But he does great stuff for their recorded songs.

    Lars isn't a particularly good drummer, but he's an integral part of Metallica being as successful as they are. He is talented, worked hard and had vision and business sense. He helped write most of their stuff, and at his best he really did serve the song. He's annoying live because he speeds up all the time and can be quite sloppy, but nobody's perfect.

    @Patrick-857 when people make millions playing an instrument the idea that people make mistakes goes out of the window for me. I am a musician surrounded by great musicians not making even close to 100 000 per year and they all can keep a tempo. Something so basic as keeping tempo with the amount of years he’s played wouldn’t land him a job anywhere. It’s only because he’s part of that band that he can get away with it. At that level you need to be better at your instrument and not struggle with the basics. Look at Ringo Star, not a phenomenal drummer in terms of showing of but he knew how to do the basics well. Because of that I respect Ringo even though he made more than almost any drummer while being quite mid. As I said People don’t make mistakes at that level for that kind of money. If they do they are incompetent and lucky someone else is carrying them.

It took me a while to realize many of the bass players from my favorite bands, late 80’s/90’s were doing unique things that really made the songs sound the way they did, much more than just following the guitars.

    Yes. I do, and I can explain why I'm saying this. First of all, being able to play isn't equal to being able to play a sound on an instrument. Second, the most crucial skill for a bass player is timing (locking _really in_ with the drums), and he lacks severely in this department. So… Can he play notes on bass? Yes, he can. Can he play the bass as an instrument? Nope.

    I work for Lamborghini. Usually people will give a thumbs up when they see the super car on the road. One day I broke down in the middle of the street, it would not restart. All the people that had to go around me cursed, gave me the finger and most people were happy that a Lamborghini broke down. Nobody offered help.. That day I saw the result of envy in the jealous faces that passed me. I didn't own the Lamborghini nor own one, I'm just work on them.. But I've experienced first hand what Davie504 is going through with fans that are flipping on his success and obvious talent. Feed off their jealousy and dive right into it. Be happy they want to be you. Be Happy you don't suck like them. Thanks for keeping it real!

    I get what tou say and i totally understand it. For me it doesn't make sense that people just want that the rich become poor instead of themselves becoming rich. But in your case you may think that it's not only because of envy; people usually are busy, and they might think that a rich can take care of its own problems by itself, probably not all of these people are jealous but sometimes they just see a reason that they should stop what they are doing to try to help a rich. (of course, people will think that a lamborghini driver is a rich person) But what i don't understand is the people that really want rich people to have problems and not to keep getting richer. Like, i want to be a rich person and have a lamborghini, so why i hate it? I'm trying to become one, no reason to hate them. But even though a lot of people indeed are jealous, sometimes it's just that you don't have the time to help another person, but the reason was not because of envy.
