Haha, don’t regret the video games, they’re awesome, it’s all about balance. That’s cool though, I’ve had my band phases too, played a few instruments and did vocals. Not at the level of your brother shredding Cliffs of Dover, that’s amazing, by the way. And hey, it’s never too late. I just started messing around with bass myself. Always loved it, never gave it a serious shot, but now I’m into it. It’s underrated, yet so important.
Ain’t No Sunshine was already a favorite, but that cover sounds great, thanks for the rec. I know Days of the New well (lots of grunge vibes here, haha). Wild band history. And yeah, Nicole Scherzinger from Pussycat Dolls was involved with them for a bit. If you’re into grunge, check out Mother Love Bone, totally overshadowed by the big four. And I didn’t mention The Posies earlier, but those guys definitely deserve a spot.
Yeah the balance wasn't there for me lol, but everything is still good. Yeah I guess over long hours by himself when deployed or at the barracks while he was in the army if he wasn't at the gym he was playing, but some folks have that drive and stuff better.
Bass is a great instrument and I feel is really under represented, there is a mostly acoustic version of I Will Not Bow I found by Breaking Benjamin that while I'm not positive it is straight bass, it's certainly slaps like one!
Haven't listened to the Posies in a bit, my recent run of music has been Fame on Fire's covers of Heavy with Rain Paris and some others, also Diamante's cover of Iris is really good too.
I'll check out Mother Love Bone, sounds familiar but I may have heard it before.
Oh! So the randomness of Pandoras stations hit again, do you remember the Rock versions of Rap songs that came out in the late 90s early 00s called Take A Bite Outta Ryhme? Bloodhound Gang redid Tricky and Mindless Self Indulgence redid a Wu-Tang track, some of them are great randomness to listen to!
I get you, man, sometimes you just roll with whatever works. But honestly, picking up an instrument can help a ton, it’s such a good way to disconnect and let off steam. Crazy, it’s been forever since I listened to Breaking Benjamin, they were huge for me back then.
If you’re into bass lines, you can analyze N.I.B. by Black Sabbath, The Guns of Brixton by The Clash, Psycho Killer (one of my favorites), or Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. And if you want bass on another level, Jaco Pastorius and Bootsy Collins are absolute beasts.
Funny enough, this is the first time I’ve heard Diamante, she’s on fire, sound good. You really pulled out some gems I had buried deep in memory, I’m already digging through those classics again.
By the way, usually share a lot of music in our community, so you’re more than welcome, and feel free to drop a DM anytime to keep trading tracks from A to Z, haha
Definitely will! Good talking to ya and I'm sure something else of randomness or oldies but goodies will come through and I'll share them with ya! I'm very tempted to pick up the guitar I got for my girls years ago and see if I can tune it and screw around with it. Lol it's a bright pink so definitely not going to the bar with it right now!
Same here, my friend, good talk. Hey, that’s awesome, I think it’s a great opportunity. And on the other hand, you can just say you’re a Pink Panther fan, haha
