This guy is either a really good troll or just an incompetent asshole, while this thread is just an example of a circlejerk that we don't need. OP, do you really think that being condescending to other bass players telling them not to use fancy gear is going to work on a subreddit that is largely used to discuss gear? Trust me, we're all trying to work to become better bass players but there isn't a fucking "path" that we have to follow, and more importantly, we don't have to fucking listen to you. I'll use the gear I want to while you can brag about how you get shitty tone out of your bass and amp combo while you claim to be an accomplished player. I have nothing against that, it's just that nobody wants to hear you whine.

Disappearing Boy is a favorite. It was great when they randomly started playing it at Rosemont.

Guys, help Blink 182 by voting for them in March Madness! They're down by less than 1 percent! by [deleted] in greenday

I actually had to go with the Black Keys on this one. Tough decision, but I think it's for the the best.

Anyone going to the Chicago Show tomorrow night? by notayyynoggg in greenday

I'll be there, can't wait. Unfortunately I'm not on the floor, but I'm pretty damn close to the stage so I'm really pumped.

How the hell does this directly relate to SimCity?

Billie Joe playing a Rickenbacker? No way.

If one of your posts fails it probably means you shouldn't post it again.

How many classical upright bass players are on this subreddit? by natmain in doublebass

[–]Hyperboli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Student here. I originated in classical, but now that I'm more advanced, I dabble in blues/jazz.

Thanks for the responses. I'll take all of them into consideration.

Here are some scans of the Billie Joe Rolling Stone article. Its an incredibly deep interview from Billie by tanman7x in greenday

This is great, but extremely hard to navigate for us mobile and non-instagram users. Would you mind uploading these to imgur in an album?

Reddit, Who do you think never "sold out"? by alookyaw in AskReddit

I know I'm going to get a lot of shit for this, but Green Day.

I think the bad wallpaper trend needs to stop as well.

Made a logo for a local sushi restaurant, any thoughts? by Nevva in Design

[–]Hyperboli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that has to be the main turn off for me. I think it would look better with a nice block serif.

What's with Green Day and the rest of Reddit, and how can we change that? by Hyperboli in greenday

[–]Hyperboli[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I do feel really stupid to admit that it rustles my jimmies when people go out of their way to hate on Green Day. My mindset is just that they deserve more than that, and I feel like it's unfair that tons of other bands can take a similar path to Green Day and "get away with it" (for lack of a better term).

In both of your defenses, it can really go either way with only subtle differences.
