double bass on tour
 

well, i was at the sonic youth shows in paris, with a 4 line-up.

now we have mark ibold on tour but... which fucking songs are sonic youth playing with a double bass line up on tour?

thanks in advance! i'm really curious!

Big Bottom

kim's got the bootycakes, alright.

Every member is playing bass now. Not just Kim and Mark.

i heard steve actually somehow rigged it to where his drum kit was a bass for this tour.

doesn't victor wooten join them for kool thing in some cities?

Yeah. I really hope that he plays in MN.

dude, he's like if yngwie malmsteem and geddy fuckin' lee had a kid with 30 fingers. when he plays, it's like "bleeeadadodododododdwadaaaaaoooow"

He slaps the SHIT out of that bass.

Steve's contraption is fucking ace.

scrotally.

Stanley Clarke, Jaco's ghost, Billy Sheehan and Jeff Berlin are all making guest appearances on this tour.

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand.

you going to the missoula show?

^ I love Meat Puppets!

Are you going to the State Fair show?

I will. He'll be too busy slapping up that bass to hear probably.

Lee and I have a date in the bathroom after the show. I'm hitting that. Steve can join too. Fuck Thurston. He can jerk off.

Yeah man, Steve's been tearing it up this tour!!!!

Sorry, had to do it....

DOUBLE PEDAL HXC!

I can play the double pedal so good, nucca.

That's what I thought this thread meant at first. I was disappointed.

I'm pretty good with it, but I honestly don't like to use it that much with most of the music I play.

The drum teacher I had for about a year "specialized" in double bass. But I could never afford a pedal. It's really just a matter of how much you do it. He had a book of beats that was excellent at progressing double bass coordination, though.

I hang out with kids who listen to hxc. I don't like it either. I can't play the rest of the set when I'm doing the pedal.

Of fucking course. I'll see you there. I'll only recognize you from the side of your head.

I can so imagine Thurston singing that song.

"Talk about mudflaps, my girl's got 'em"

You'll see me with a bunch of other hipsters smoking and drinking coffee more than likely. I'm pretty excited even if they do play alot of Rather Ripped stuff.

I didn't say I was going to enjoy those songs. I'll shout "Shaking Hell!" during Rats. I just said I was excited for the show. The show OBVIOUSLY meaning good songs.

I yelled that at the last show.

tu est loco :)
nachas means butt slang

I thought you meant that you saw a double bass on stage. That would be awesome.

pointless to post a thread asking a serious question on the board these days....

the songs they had 2 basses on were (from what i can remember)
incinerate
eric's trip
schizophrenia
catholic block
sleeping around
do you believe in rapture
100 %
or
lights out

pretty much any song kim does not sing on and played bass on the record, her and mark ibold both played bass.

thurston played bass on rats and mark played guitar
also thurston played bass on shaking hell (obviously) while mark left the stage for the night - was last song of the night.
