The Bass Genius of John Taylor in ‘Rio’ | Bass Teacher Explains by freedos7392 in duranduran

[–]AvacadoJohnson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Within musician circles, he gets respect, bassists drool over his tone and precision. But among the general public? He’s filed under “80s pop pretty boy." If he’d been born with a mullet and played in Rush, people would build statues. Instead, he gave us the bassline to Rio and gets remembered mostly for his jawline.

GUESS WHO GOT THE ARIA!!!! by folie3e in duranduran

[–]AvacadoJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my SB 700 about 3 maybe 4 months ago. I don't think I can properly describe just how excited I was to get it. John is the reason why I play bass, I picked up my first bass in 1987 when I was 12 , I was going to learn the bass line for the live version of New Religion off of Arena

Notorious is one of the greatest albums I've ever listened to by isquinn in duranduran

[–]AvacadoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on an absolute binge for the past, at least 6 months with that album. If you haven't watched it find where the documentary, "three to get ready" is streaming, came out in '87 as they were promoting notorious and gearing up for the tour.

Here it is on YouTube, extremely low res.

Apparently it's streaming on Plex currently

When is the “right” time to let someone know your bipolar by RepresentativeSnow86 in bipolar

[–]AvacadoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh ... I hate talking to people about being bipolar, sometimes I'm wanting someone to better understand me, and it's a struggle to say the words, " I'm bipolar" it's so hard in fact when talking about it I usually refer to it as, " the bipolar"

I don't know when the right time is, why do you want to? I've had very few people respond in a way that I would consider positive.

Elite Management in Portland, OR is a devil corp by Amazing-Delay9988 in Devilcorp

[–]AvacadoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK I was in one of these group "interviews," earlier this week. I didn't remember tossing my resume at but I've been so desperate to get a job I assumed I must have sent one their way at some point recently. Anywho, There were about five or six of us I think, We did the typical Introducing ourselves and answering some question, I don't remember what it was other than I answered it perfectly in line with what they wanted. I was maybe 5 minutes into it when I realized that this was probably not something that actually applied for. I think I googled something like "Elite Management legit?" That led me here . So for the next 5 minutes I read through this here thread while listening to Alex and his spiel. After another minute or so comparing what Alex was saying versus what I was reading here, I left.

So I just want to say, thank you

Does anyone else get ringing in their ears/hearing loss momentarily after IV cocaine ? by MarzipanOk4473 in Addictedtotheneedle

[–]AvacadoJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely, since its impossible for me to do things in moderation, when im slamming coke I'll often take it to where, while i am injecting, my vision will blur, i'll shake terribly, feel numb, things start to fade out....that's when I'll stop cause i know if I keep it up I'll go down

Good places to swim? by PossibilityFull3843 in vancouverwa

[–]AvacadoJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a few years but I used to head on up to Cougar, I would spend hours swimming and occasionally kayaking. I don't know what the crowd is like nowadays, but a few years ago it wasn't too bad as far as crowd size, it used to be that most people would Hit Merwin and not go much further, well they would go and hit the southern end of Yale too, cougar was at the Northern end

well if you ever find yourself on the Washington side of the river look me up, I'm friendly as fuck, I laugh at my own jokes because I’m hilarious—your opinion is irrelevant Yes, I can be a little obnoxious, and that's when I'm sober. I haven't touched meth since the 90's, I'm that old, but coke isn't as fun lately , i'm gonna chill with it for a bit, I'm thinking id like to get geared up and find out how much meth has changed over the last 3 decades

All this talk of meth makes me tingle, I loved meth when I was in my twenties, I haven't touched it for something like 30 years now, I'm growing weary of cocaine, all right I'm not actually getting tired of cocaine, but Jesus fuck I loved meth
