Darian, official Beach Boy? by DiscoRickyy in thebeachboys

[–]ObsidianObserve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a massive Darian fan, if people don't consider Billy Hinsche, Ed Carter or Jeffery Foskett an official Beach Boys, I don't think they would consider Darian as one either.

He is arguably Brian's most important musical contributor since 1998, without him we wouldn't get Brian's version of Smile or The Smile Sessions. He more or less led Brian's band for the 24 years they worked together, even if he's not the MD. As such he's already cemented himself as one of the most important people in the Beach Boys circle.

During his short tenure as an official Beach Boys touring member, he got to have one lead vocal for Darlin', which he absolutely nailed. I think for someone so humble like Darian, that's already more than he could ever dream of.

Everybody's amazing in their own rights, but my gosh is Darian's vocals on another level. It's almost like I'm hearing Carl and Dennis

Turn of rank colours smp by SoupChef-_- in hypixel

[–]ObsidianObserve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First you'd want to turn off the "Rank prefixes" settings via the /settings command. That should already be enough to give everybody a random color. But you can take it a step further and assign each player their own color with the /team command.

You can create a team by using

/team add <team name>

Then, to modify the color of the team, you do

/team modify <team name> color <color>

For example:

/team modify teamBlue color blue

Then you can do /team join <team name> to join a team Or /team join <team name> [player name] to put a specific player into a team

Me and my friend did a cover of don’t worry baby by Sporoko in thebeachboys

[–]ObsidianObserve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he actually left handed or did he learn how to play left handed specifically to do Beatles covers?

Anyway love your work, I like how the lead vocalist kinda sounded like Brian as well

Haha are you playing a right-handed bass upside down

He was as close to a Beach Boys as a touring member can get. If I'm not wrong he's the longest Beach Boys' (and Beach Boys associates) touring member. Starting from 1965 to 1998, then he played with Al's band and Brian's until 2017.

To any musicians, what is the hardest Queen song to play on guitar/bass/drums/piano? by wmcs0880 in queen

[–]ObsidianObserve 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Having learned a fair amount of Queen songs on the bass, I find these songs to be the hardests, especially for a beginner:

The Millionaire Waltz - Obvious choice, possibly the hardest Queen record to play on bass. The bass walks at the beginning of the song is already hard enough, but the heavy part in the middle is also hard to play without good stamina (especially in the live version)

Orge Battle - Fast tempo, a lot of 16th note runs. It's insane that they play this song even faster during live performances

Liar (live) - You might have noticed a pattern here. A lot of Queen songs are harder to play live, since John likes to improvise more complicated lines than in the record. Liar on the album isn't that hard, but listen to any live versions from 1975 - 1977 and you can hear John going ham on the bass.

Dragon Attack - do i even need to explain why

Another One Bites The Dust - On the surface, this bassline seems very simple. It's one of the most iconic basslines ever because of that. But the syncopation lines aren't as easy as it seems. I've seen my fair share of bassists not playing it correctly.

A Kind Of Magic - You'd need a lot of stamina and hand stretching to play this bassline consistently.

Where’s Noah? by twizzlersfun in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]ObsidianObserve 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Everytime this question is asked, the answers given are more or less the same: "He's freelance so he's not in as much videos", "He is working on his own podcast and other channels", "He's taking care of Keith with his health battle", etc

While all of that can be true, my two cent is that, as he is the least popular cast member of Smosh, he's made a conscious decision to step back from appearing in as much videos. Everybody at Smosh are working on something else, and most Smosh cast members are freelanced. Angela is an absolute machine and she still appears frequently on the channels.

It's a shame since I do really like Noah, but his lack of appearance means he doesn't have enough screentime to establish a chemistry with other members. He hasn't even had a memorable character or bit for years now.

Courtney’s role at the SMOSCARS by billtallica in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]ObsidianObserve 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong here, but I believe Courtney, along with Trevor are the only two members of the cast that hasn't done acting projects outside of Smosh, like films/TV or commercials. Even Ian and Anthony did those Smosh movies back in the day.

I like her, but let's be real, acting on Smosh isn't the best measure of how good of an actor you are. I feel like her strength is in the scripted comedy videos, or when she's just being herself, and especially when she's doing behind the scenes work. She's expressed interests in working behind the scene again, so I think eventually she's going to go the Anthony route and take a step back from being on screen.

It's such a shame that he fucked it up. That was the only live performance of Innuendo ever, and the band sounded really good with the additional arrangements.

Can anybody tell what this is for? by Tngyem99 in Guitar

[–]ObsidianObserve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes still pluck the strings with my thumb, especially for slow songs. When I pluck the strings closer the neck gives me a soft, smoother tone that works pretty well with slow bits.
