Cymbals Eat Guitars

Awesome indie rock band from Staten Island. Sometimes incorrectly mentioned as blatant rip-offs of Pavement or other '90s indie rock bands; in reality CEG have a sound that is completely their own. Why There Are Mountains was one of the best records of the 2000s.
Have you heard that new Cymbals Eat Guitars record yet?

I'm seeing Cymbals Eat Guitars tonight, should be a good show.

bass guitar

bass guitar
Since most people here seem to be ignorant of what a bass is:

1) It was NOT "based off the guitar", it's an electric adaptation of the double bass which became awkward and increasingly less audible compared to other instruments in the earliest rock/jazz bands.

2) While easier to learn than guitar, it is far far more difficult to master. Anyone can sound cool playing the pentatonic scale and power chords over and over; it takes a great more deal of musical skill and talent to be excellent at bass.

3) On a related note "Anyone who plays guitar can play bass by default" is ridiculous. If you have no sense of rhythm and can't keep a beat, then you can't play bass. Hell, most guitarists I've met can't even play the bass without making the frets buzz their first few times.

4) Bass is a rhythm instrument, with a deeper more mellow sound. Guitar is melodic (or at least mostly used for such). To say bass is inferior to guitar is also stupid.
1) The advent of the electric bass guitar revolutioned new age music

2) A guitarist can sound "amazing" in just a couple years. I'd like to see anyone learn Victor Wooten's Classical Thump in just a couple of years.

3) "Whoa dude whats wrong with your frets? Why are they buzzing??" - Guitarist who thinks he can play bass

4) Have you ever heard a band with two guitarists and no bassist? It sounds like a transistor radio

Guantanamo bay approach

The Guantanamo bay approach is to believe that anything, animal, object, human being or otherwise are inneficient, cannot be trusted or are in someway harmful to the individual until he/she is given prove that this object/person/animal is efficient or benneficial.
Since the internet is almost diametrically opposed to the notion of quality control, in recent years it's been a lot easier to just assume everything is shit until it can prove itself otherwise. I like to call it the Guantanamo bay approach.
