I’m tired but restless. That’s the opposite of how I like to be really. Twitter is boring as hell right now.. I hate it when all the trends are sport or braindead reality shows. I very rarely even turn my TV on.
So I thought I’d put something here. I was online before and YouTube was on auto-play. I’d been watching a clip of this guy playing the bass guitar. Another clip came on and it rocked. It was this Slap Bass Battle. I love the bass because my brother played it. He died in 2014 at 33yo from a heroin OD. Here’s the thing I’m talking about and then I’ll find some good bass songs.
Ha.. I didn’t even realise that guy was changing instruments because I wasn’t looking at it the first time.
I like this guy too.
Now I’m vaguely rockin. So here are my bro’s influences. Number one was Les Claypool from Primus, when he was about 13 (my brother not Les).
Damn I wish I’d learnt an instrument. I started a few but never had the discipline. Plus my parents pushed me too much and I always resented them. My brother got pushed into it too, but not as hard because he was seven years younger and they were more easy going with him. He did stick with it and played for twenty years before he died.
I can’t go past this when it comes to Les playing. It’s one of my go-to’s when I’m depressed or just flat.
Ok, other Primus.. They’re pretty weird heh. I like Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver but everyone knows that. Shake Hands With Beef lol. That name always amuses me and the clip is funny too.
I’ve never seen this one. There’s a rumour Les Claypool auditioned for Metallica but didn’t get the job because he was “too good”. Les denies it and the Metallica guy says it’s true, so who knows.
