My lady LOVES him too. She has a portrait of Aladdin Sane tattooed on her so I get to lock eyes with David during naughty times.

I am fan too and go through periods of listening to a lot of Bowie.

is it weird that i like his newer stuff, not his older? reverse hipsterism?

Aladdin Sane tramp stamp?

No on her right shoulder

I will post a pic soon, it is a pretty rad tattoo

Cropped it...

That's pretty fucking awesome.

Yeah, it is. Owl's pretty nice too.

Delta that is a fucking awesome tat. Holy moly.

Ahab just released a new album, which I'm about to listen to, but the cover art prompted me to post it for Behndy's enjoyment.



Also: as some of you know I am now the proud owner of a bass. Yippee! My goal with the bass is to lay down some tracks for all the tunes that I have that don't fit my main band. Um, my only band. Yeha. Anyway, at some stage I'd like to avoid the pitfalls of *guitarist-picks-up-a-bass-and-assumes-he-can-play-bass*. Anyone got any good resources (either online or a book or something) for getting the ah... basics... of bass under control? I'm guessing that I want to play finger style as I fucking love Steve Harris and Alex Webster, but right there you have two dudes with insanely different technique. If it's any help the stuff I eventually want to play will be grindy-proggy death stuff, and maybe a bit of Neurisis wank fest. At the moment I'm probably just going to use a pick and guitar that shit up, but that feels like a crap long-term approach.

Any and all advice is appreciated, except "get lessons", which would possibly be my first choice, but is rendered impossible by the terran day being limited to 24 hours (fuck you earth's rotation!).

Alex Webster has a pretty good book "Extreme Metal Bass" or something which explores a lot of finger style exercises.

Get a metronome (or something that keeps time). Learn to play parts correctly and slow, it is easier to speed up after knowing how to play correctly slow. It is harder to play slow.
Tap your foot too. It helps make the beat or groove happen inside.

^ I agree with everything but the metronome.

Cool thanks Delts, will check it out!

Mudfuzz you're a goofball. Metronomes are the shit. I use one pretty much every day when treble guitaring.
