Conan Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 There's half an hour of my life (and lunchtime) that I'll never get back... Quote
Annoying Twit Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Can someone summarise for us who are busy at work? Quote

[/quote] Some pretty average photoshopped pictures of bass (and other) icons holding instruments that are a bit different to the ones they are/were known for using. And other members "liking" the pictures That's about it, unless I've missed something... Edited March 4, 2015 by Conan Quote
Bassassin Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I admit I smirked (very slightly) at Trujillo rockin' a Daisy Rock butterfly bass. Just for a moment, and that was it. Jon. Quote

Truckstop Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 James Jamerson in Gene Simmons make-up using his Axe bass was quite good Quote

Annoying Twit Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I had a quick look. What's with the KFC buckets on the heads? Quote

[/quote] Something to do with that weird guitarist who plays/played (I neither know nor care which) with Guns 'n' Roses following the departure of "Slash". His name is Buckethead... But you did know that, didn't you? Edited March 4, 2015 by Conan Quote
dadofsix Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I dunno, I thought some of them were pretty funny. The one of Geddy Lee and Lemmy got a smirk out of me. The one of Hitchcock was also pretty funny. YMMV Quote

xilddx Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1425508044' post='2708133'] You may mock their paltry efforts, but at least whilst there is mutual ego stroking to be carried out you can rely on a TB bass to remain civil. [/quote] Guess why. All it said to me was that TB can be so f***ing bland. That was about as damnboring as a thread could be, I read 2 pages, then the last. Evah. Edited March 5, 2015 by xilddx Quote

[/quote] If he has, I'm not sure that particular clip does him justice. A dead boring rip-off of Larry Graham meeting Verdine White and Mark King... I think I might dip out of this thread - it is making me seem extremely negative, and I'm really not! Quote
