Fuck you, Stu.

Stewy, no offense, but YOU are a fucking jackass.

Those only came after you started it. My first post in the thread merely mentioned that "Expressway" was the first HUGE hit for a G&H production. Then you made it personal.

And since you conveniently left out the LOL from my remark Bruce, I must seriously consider the possibility that your anger is only surpassed by your complete lack of a sense of humor.

Including an LOL does not allow you to insult me.

When you post something funny I'll let you know. Don't hold your breath.

I guess you're right ariel...Never argue with an idiot cause you'll lose every time. They're much more experienced at it.

Yes, I am much more experienced at arguing with idiots than you are, and my experience is going up by being in this thread.

Dude...you started talking that shit on a rockabilly thread. That said...you're probably a pretty nice guy and I'm willing to bury the hatchet. Life's too short...

I don't know. From what I've read, it seems like Bruce would be fun in real life. :lol:

To beat the shit out of, sure.

Anyway, Andy Rourke and Peter Hook really should be here. They have made more significant contributions to the instrument than the guys from Symphony X, I can tell you that much.

Yes ES, I know you hate New Order, but let's try and be reasonable here.

You and what army?

You're a fat out of shape fuck who sits around playing video games all day while I'm out running several miles evey day refereeing basketball games. You wouldn't stand a chance.

Guys, I ran in a triathlon when I was in primary school. I'm an MMA fighter now, right?

I consider people who pick up bass guitars and play them (well) "bass players"

....and does the class of "people who pick up bass guitars and play them (well)" include Rick James?

When I saw he wasn't on the list, I checked out his bio on Wikipedia, and it never mentions what instruments he played. I always assumed he was a bass player, based--I admit--mostly on the famous photo of him in thigh high red boots leaning on a lamppost and holding a bass. This Wikipedia article talks about the early bands he was in and mentions several other people who played bass in those bands. This is why I asked the question.
