Im a guitarist who plays a little bass. Nothing shows ignorance more than musicians who rubbish on other instruments/bandmates and claim they’re less relevant. Especially the hate for bassists and drummers, who literally hold the bad together so singers can wail and lead guitarist can noodle.

@SockiSkateboardsNaniiii?!???? Bullying the bass player is ILLEGAL!!!!! He should file a complaint frfr. Foolish fools. _FOOWLISH FOOWLS_ THEY ARE!!!!!!
As a bassist I can confirm that singer is either always late or is at some concert or in another state giving the band a same day notice as when they go
As a (now old!) singer as well, I have to confess that was exactly my behaviour in the 90s... I was fired more than once! No regrets, though. What great times! I've got so many more interesting/weird/downright idiotic stories than my sensible friends! 😂
i love how the bassist has only one string but then proceeds to just nail that groovy bassline. clearly the guitarist is offended by such versatile musical ability.
But why though? I'm a bass player and I don't think I deserve to get sprayed for suggesting another key... can you imagine if I suggested we tune down half a step??!!!
Yup! Rhythm guitar is also important as well. Its sad how the actual glue that holds bands together and allows the more prestigious roles to have their fun cop so much hate.
Holy cow, the drum intro lick at 2:34 was fire, but if you threw that out at a casual jam, nobody would find the tempo because they've all had their panties blown off. Love it!
@@OtherOliviaDunhamto form a successful band you need a highly narcissistic and self centered singer, a slightly less narcissistic and self centered guitarist, a bass player that doesn’t talk and stays over on his own part of the stage and a drummer who has attention deficit disorder and way to much energy but is otherwise a pretty amicable fellow.
I've got this problem, and I'll admit it, but I'll never actually start playing in the correct key when you mention it to me, I mean there's at least four of them, how can I be expected to know each one by sound alone?
As a bass player I am the keeper of the right keys in our band. I have to keep watch over our keyboarder, because he uses his transpose festure a lot to play in an easier key and then forgets about it! 😂
that's certainly the appropriate way to treat a bassist fr you're on the right track aaron (btw i really love your videos it's obvious there's so much thought and effort that goes into them and if you could in any way cover some steve miller band that would be awesome :))
There's definitely some elements of truth there. Honorable mention would be either the bass player playing the tricky part to a song that mentioned as a "maybe" to try? Or the drummer ending every song the same way. I play all three myself.
the part about venues giving free food is pretty realistic i played at this bar for about 2 or 3 tracks while my whole family enjoyed dinner our tab was cleared for free

2:12 Drummer: "Look, why dont we just take five?" Guitarist: "no man, we cant just take 5 when there is a problem to be solved..." Bassist: *in his head* X - 5 = ?
As a bass player I'm pretty much done being in bands with guitarists, unless it's not their main instrument. They don't know theory, they have shit rhythm, they never take feedback, and usually they don't even know how to use their own gear. Nowadays I got a band with bass, drums, and 2 keyboards. People keep asking us if we need a guitarist and the answer will always be no, lmao
As a guitarist, i just went to my first band rehearsal at my school's music club!, it went great!!, the bassist was very sweet, the drummer was really talented, and the singer wasn't late! (Btw the band's name is roadkill!)

I was fully expecting them to start playing take 5 instead of taking a break
bro the fact I have a friend who only knows how to play smells like Teen Spirit is way too relatable 😭
As someone who can play many things other than Teen Spirit, I go out of my way to play it every five seconds on guitar. I’m a drummer 👌
as a guitarist, bassist, drummer, singer, harmonicist, pianist, and keyboardist, i am currently having a mental and existential crisis
Prince?!? Is that you? I'd thought you'd left us?

Don't ever let the band mate who doesn't understand what key the song is in know that you know they don't know. They'll never admit it until they die.

It’s always when the drummer first sees the bassist and is like hi:) then they start a relationship. That’s how Dave and Krist from Nirvana had it.

Also if those are prescription glasses I have the same pair! I picked them cause they were bigger than everything else
On the other hand, I gained a string about a year ago. 5 string bass really is something else.
