Why do people not reply to my posts in the finished work gallery?

I recieved 2...maybe 3 replies.
...being insecure and introverted certainly doesn't help with the delivery. Let's see, mentally I'll play the part of someone reading this thread....I would:

(A). See that there is nothing here but text and hit the back button.

(B). Skim through the "meat" of the text arrangment searching for key words such as; sex,money,WACOM,fuck,spooge demon, ect.

(C). Read, then hit back due to lack of intrest(or apathy?, possibly?)....

(D).Did they even get as far veiwing the thread!? (maybe it's the naming of my titles that lack efficiency at attracting attention)

Am I just neurotic or something? Maybe I'm overeacting. HEY WORLD! LOOK AT ME! I EXIST! aaaaAAaaaaAaaaah! Should I tape peacock feathers to my head?....and wave them around?...that would work. HA! HEY! I'm a pale, jewish looking 18 year old who is 5'4' and REALY unthreatening! I've got nothing to HIDE! HEY WORLD! HEEEY!

*Attention! Attention! if you are reading this message -right now- please make *ANY* donation of text, every character counts. PandaX52's biological clock is ticking away!*

now if you REALLY wanted to evenly distribute the spite you could fail to reply and the whole meaning of this topic would contradict itself and tear the fabric of space-time, sending the world into an uncontrolable malestrom and into the abyss of the unknown.

...thank you...

Sad but true: The more you post, the more replies you'll get. People tend to gravitate towards commenting on threads by people they know. So...in theory, anyway...the longer you try, the more you'll hear back.

well I plan on making more art and posting it, I'll try making my stuff less abstract, perhaps people will be able to connect with it better...

(edit) I know it sounds sort of hipocritical begging for replies when I rarely do so myself....hmmm....

Nex: Oooh he's good =)

but ya can't beat Victor Wooten (bela fleck and the flecktones)

go pick up his live at bassday 98 to see how he does it... slap down, pull up again (=2 notes), pop with ringfinger, pop with middle finger, pop with index finger

=

5 notes in like half a second... totally amazing... I just got the slap down/pull up - pop pop thing down, and DAMN it sound fast... gives you the impression that it's like 5 times faster then it actually is =)

Go! buy!

T.M. STEVENS? VICTOR WOOTEN?

Good my.

The unequivocal, brilliantly genius, demigod Les Claypool would eat Stevens or Wooten for five-string breakfast.

Either him or me. (lame self-spam)

definitely.

i've somewhere red, that bassist are thouse guys that permanently hang around with musicians. but i dont know, dont play a musical instrument

strata · Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2001 12:56 am

impaler: I can play the awakening and lacquer head ;D

Les is great, and even though he sometimes seems that he doesn't know wtf he's doing and is just strumming away like mad, he's totally in control... though I would say wooten is more sophisticated in his playing, I mean, the groove that guy gets on is just... wow...

Funny thing is, if you made them both play the same style, ie normal slapping, les would be a SHITLOAD faster since he doesn't go down/up... but I still feel they're totally diffrent players, but both equally enjoyable =)

schabe: not a musical instrument?

wrong grammar ? sorry, not my mother tongue.

strata · Posted: Mon Feb 19, 2001 1:31 am

Well I'd argue that there are two ways of thinking when it comes to this... (same goes for the guitar)

The bass is generally seen as being easier to play then the guitar since the strings are bigger, farther between and you (in the beginning) usually just use one fret at a time... whereas on the guitar you use chords and therefor several fingers at once...

I don't think that playing the guitar in a style where you basically play three chords and just go up and down (like blink182 or bands like that) is much harder or musically or technically at all, then playing bass in the beginning.

What I do think is that after a while bass becomes harder then the guitar, since you need ALOT more strength in both your right and left hand, more speed, more precision and more groove to get really advanced.

Another point would be that you can't really argue that an instrument isn't a musical instrument, since it's not the instrument that makes the music itself, in the same way that a painting doesn't paint itself. You need a good musician/artist behind the tool to get it out. In that sense a little piece of stone can be a musical instrument if the person holding the stone has alot of groove (which is what it's all about).

So my conclusion would be that it's the groove that counts, much more then technique, and bassplayers usually have ALOT more groove then anyone else.

Hop on napster and check out victor wooten - victors jam for some of the coolest groove I've ever heard.

Just my fourtyeight cents

is see it all now

ok it wasnt my serious opinion that bass isnt a musical instrument, but i red this funny sentence about bassists in a music magazine.
some music (e.g. iron maiden) would sound quite a little poor without bass.

:P I think it's more along the lines that 90% of the bass players out there simply do low subwoofer notes that hold out for measures at a time, where as a guitar does fancy power chords and are usually the lead instrument.

The bass requires far more skill, simply because it takes a lot of effort to sound good/be original and whatnot. So, you get nothing but second-hand bassists that sit by the drummer and do cookie-cutter sounds. But once you get a good bassist, the guitar suddenly turns into the bass, doing nothing but repetitive chords and riffs.

Frets? Dude. Frets suck on a bass.
