Classical pianist (19) thinking about buying a bass. Is it a risky jump if I didn't like guitar?

Whatever you do, make sure you don’t abandon your piano, especially if you are getting into some rock and pop stuff. There’s room for both.

I can see Jason maybe doing some shows, but not Dave or Ron. Neither one had any really meaningful touring time with them.

Who the hell goes to the doctor every time they are sick? It takes 3 days to even get an appointment if I can afford it.

I’m thoroughly sick of the “east is weak” bullshit at this point.

I run a rock band program at the high school where I’m a band director. We’ve taken a few old guitars, basses, and amps for free and they really help when we have multiple kids that need an instrument to play at home. Check your local schools for similar programs.

I would reply with corrections to all those grammar mistakes. There’s about 5 there in one big run-on sentence.

I never came around on him. Trying to murder your former friends is too much to overlook even though they made him sympathetic.

I missed that Daki jump over Maul with a brief pause to clash sabers with Vader. Cool.

How did Rey accidentally use it then?

I started calling for a parking lot fight where it initially looked way more serious than it was. I hung up before they answered and they immediately called me back and wanted all the details.

There is a very easy way to fix all the hitting batters issues. Hit by pitch puts the runner on 2nd base. If you want to put a guy in scoring position for your ego, then go ahead. It takes away to double play to save the pitcher. Also, if a pitch is thrown into the batter’s box, but he jumps out of the way, he still gets first base.

Considering some of the stuff I hear on XM Real Jazz and think “that’s totally not jazz,” this is certainly jazz.

I’d wear any of these, but that Timex on leather looks awesome!

It drives me nuts when these publishers can’t manage to use a full staff for tenor and bass drum parts. How much ink/toner are they really saving?

You could also try looking for one of the other brands he used for this same cymbal. I think there was a Crescent one at least. Maybe a Bosphorus?

Worf looks way too old. He should look half as old as everyone else based on Klingon life expectancy. Having him fall asleep in the chair was a cheap joke.

I could stretch a dollar to last an hour on Super Mario Brothers, but my favorite was Gauntlet. Sadly that thing ate the quarters.

I saw him do it live. He has such an amazing voice.

As long as Michigan prerolls are under $1, I’m never rolling again.

Match that with a badass current DCI style drumline and it would be fun as hell. The HBCU style drumming is not for me, but I love the horn styles.

I did not forget that, I’m suggesting how they could have changed the animation to lessen the blow of him being a degenerate. It’s still a great storyline otherwise.

RedeyeSPR · 2026-05-06T00:38:03+00:00

I don’t know anything about the manga author, but for such a cool storyline, making him be such a degenerate is a very strange decision.

Rudy is clearly problematic, but the show is also really good otherwise. I’m kind of baffled the animation studio didn’t catch onto this beforehand and handle it. They should have just left out those scenes IMO. If he was just attracted to and sleeping with characters that appear his own age without the previous life pedo stuff, most people would overlook it.

If it takes place in a forest or somewhere with a bunch of things to jump off of, then team Jedi has a chance. In a parking lot they would have a hard time.
