He should have put his mudda fokkin' hands in the air when he played the solo.

That was bollox......worse than the Limp Bizkit thing with the red hat a few weeks ago.

Doctor J

The real problem is he's a ****ing ****e rapper too :pac:

He he he. That second clip is amazing if only for the crowd reaction!!!! Excellent post!

My brother was showing me some of his recorded stuff there....... between drenching all of his vocals in autotune and playing guitar attempting to hold a guitar, I think he may just be the worst performer ever. He'd certainly top my list.
I hope to "pull a little wayne" will quickly become a commonly used phrase meaning "to become really famous whilst really really ****". Kinda like Brendan Kilkenny or Darius.

he certainly seems like the worst performer ever...

CianRyan

It really is sickeningly bad.
Why does he even try to play guitar on stage though?! That's what i dont get.

fguihen

Look at his stance and how he approached it though, like a 5 year old kid who wants to show off to his relations when they come to visit. "Look what I can do Aunty!!!".

Trying to prove hes musical i guess, that there are other sides to him and what not. Better off If he learned to speak with a little more decorum, and put a shirt on! Or would that stifle his creativity?

The image man.......guitarists are f@#kin' cool.

Not sure what words to describe bass players though.....
Anybody any suggestions ??

State of all of you, narrow minded is the way to be now is it?

Doctor J

I think you'll find it's because he is a **** guitarist, rather than a rap artist, which is the crux of the comments. I don't think it's necessarily narrow minded to recognise that. As someone who has listened to rap since the mid 80's, I'd go as far as saying that I think he's a **** rapper too :pac:

Is it 'cos I is black....



Come on, everyones only pointing out that he's clearly only learning guitar, and not doing very well either. Most people don't go on stage in front of thousands of people and do something that they're absolutley brutal at, with the exception of maybe this guy, albeit a TV audience.

The record company have even asked me to delay my hardcore rap release because apparently they feel the market isn't ready yet...:rolleyes:

Roll them eyes again, chief.

"There's a reason there aren't many bass players. The majority of the people in this world are assholes. The rest are bass players."

This is a very apt quote from someone on another forum I use. :pac:

feylya

Darren, cop on and stop trying to stir **** on this forum.

CianRyan

Hey now, i can play bass too, i started off playing bass then moved onto guitar, i prefer the small strings and the small necks.

Nothing wrong with bass'.

Hey, the tunes aren't that bad

seachto7

Check out The Roots, or Mos Def, Beastie Boys, to see rappers who can *PLAY* their instruments...

Doctor J

Exactly. Saw the Beastie Boys in the Tivoli many years ago and a good third of the set was them playing tunes, not just using instruments as a prop.
