Born under a bad sign Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 sometimes less is more, nice bass face though Quote
visog Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 You just don't appreciate fine art.... It's what Roger Glover was trying to do... Quote
wateroftyne Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 It's dreadful. But so is everything before and after it... Quote
gary mac Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Assuming they rehearsed, why oh why didn't one of his band mates, just say "NO" It's bad enough hearing SOTW again but with a slap bass solo...no no no Quote
Bilbo Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 To be fair, I wouldn't know what to do to solo over SOTW!! Quote
skychaserhigh Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 The whole thing is just wrong....on so many levels.... Quote

ern500evo Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I wish I could go back in time and stop myself watching that!! Quote
KevB Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Takes the song to a whole new level. Just not a higher one. Quote
JTUK Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 yep,.... not at all good, in any respect. Are they competition winners or something? Quote
PaulWarning Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 that needs using as an example as to why bass solos (and drum solos) should be banned by law, if I'd have been there I would have walked out, what a load of pretentious crap Quote
Grangur Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 What's wrong with it? He just got fed up with SOTW and wanted to play something different. Some folk like slap-jazz. Is that so bad? Quote

[/quote] it doesn't really matter what tune he was playing it against, ( he didn't seem to worry about that anyway) it was just awful from the bottom up. Quote
Roland Rock Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Almost as bad as the bass solo is doing the vocal melody on an instrument. I can't stand it! (the only possible exception being King Curtis doing Whiter shade of Pale) Quote
Number6 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I think it's great! It demonstrates that i have better timing and ability than i thought i did 😉 Quote
Aero71 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Too bad there aren't puke smileys available... Quote
KiOgon Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Just smack him someone please at least unplug him Quote
