  1. There's no work-around for that, right?
    A band can have a pitchy singer and still rock. Β They can have a limited-skillset guitarist and rock hard (as long as he recognizes his limitations). Β Ditto for bass. Β 
    But if the drummer doesn't have some reasonable level of groove/timing/feel, there is just nothing the rest of the band can do to cover that up. Β The stink covers them all.
    That's about the size of it. It's all about the drums, then they hide the poor guy in the back.

  2. Those were just groupies trying to sleep with you man
    Honestly, it was mostly women from the beach town where we rehearse and i felt like one of them was flirting w me pretty stong right in front of my girlfriend when we were down there for a party a few weeks ago!

    Maybe he's an incredible bass player and i can find a way for the V to contribute!

    Honestly hope so, I really like being in The Koffs. Great guys to be around. I genuinely like them and I like being associated with them, I just dont want to be in a shitty band.

  3. Ya, coincidently most of the Dirty Years crew was already planning jamming tonight for the 1st time in ages.

    Plus I've got a whole cannon of shit that I've been half ass finishing with a great drummer that's lost momentum. That stalled for a few reasons including not finding the right bass player. It finally hit me that I'm the bass player and it's either a recording only project where I play guitars, or I find a guitar player. Guitar players are easy to cone by.

  4. Funny you say that, my 1st thought was a Tele, and quickly realized the V into a Marshall would be the proper match to his Mustang into a Fender combo.

    Who knows, I've only met the guy once and he's great. But I had several people tell me I was a big improvement on bass over him after our 1st handful of shows and I've gotten way better in my parts since then. Maybe he'll be fine, but I'm against anything that doesn't make us better. I dont wanna be in a shitty band.

  5. Our guitar player bought one of those Fireflys as a back up he says. It sounded like shit. We all asked him to not play it in practice anymore it sounded so bad. I think he's half deaf cause he refuses to wear ear protection.

    Speaking The Koffs, my biggest fear with that band has been realized. Last night the singer blasts out in our group text that the founder and original bass player is moving back, so I can move to lead guitar!

    I'm glad they have enough respect that they don't wanna lose me, but I dont think i want to play guitar in that band. We don't need another guitar and frankly, imo, I'm a pretty good bass player and I think I make those guys sound better than they are. I dont wanna be sitting there playing an unnecessary guitar while listening and second guessing a bass player who's not better than me - fucking up all the parts I spent the last year and a half developing.

    That was a good run of no drama The Koffs had. I guess we'll see how it plays out. We are supposed to fonally record in a couple weeks, but I'm not sure I wanna record the bass parts if I'm not gonna be the bassist.

  6. My man. Related,Β  I recommend acid for Space Mountain at Disney World.

    I do give you credit for Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, who eats Taco Bell. Southbound Pachyderm is another pretty good song from that album.

    Somewhat surprised you guys don't know My Name is Mud, that was like one of the biggest songs of 1993.


    Haha. Twice now I've played shows after ingesting mushrooms. Once at a Halloween party with Dirty Years and once at a pretty decent sized venue with a good crowd wirh The Koffs. It's like acrobatics without a net! I don't know that I'd recommend it, but I can't promise it won't happen again.

    In 1993 I was a young parent if soon to be two. There wasn't much time or money for shows in those days. I'm still catching up on the 90's.

    Yeah he is a native of your area, that's why I'm a bit surprised this was first time you saw him. I caught Primus a bunch in the 90s, and the first and second iterations of theΒ  Frog Brigade in the early aughts. All amazing shows. He is one of the most talented people I've ever come across while also being one of the most hilarious.
    You gotta remember that I'm a transplant here of 10 years now. Like Jimmy, I was only really familiar with Jerry, and the Beaver one, from Primus. In fact, I walked into the Frog Brigade show with no idea what to expect and only recognized the Pink Floyd covers. They completely blew my mind, and the mushrooms we ate beforehand didn't hurt!

  8. Les Claypool and anyone he plays with is ridiculously good.
    It blew my mind. The only thing i ever heard that sounded as big and full was Devo a few years ago, and I get to see them again in a couple weeks.

    BTW, @jimmyjazz , one of the other bands I saw in that 5 show marathon was your daughter's. While maybe not as mind blowing as Les Claypool, my friends and I all thought they were better than the headliner (Amyl and the Sniffers) and the crowd in the GA level of Oakland's Fox Theater seamed to agree. Super fun set.
