bassist

this is now official: if i am to play the guitar in a band, i want to be the bass player. yup, those smooth sounds created under layers of distortions and high-pitched riffs really do appeal to me. i wanna learn to play the bass. i just watched bamboo in myx's orig 'to concert on tv with my bro and nathan did a good solo on one song which i think was noypi. and i think he's a good bassist. and of course, there's nu rock awards bassist of the year buddy zabala. he's been dishing out exceptional bass lines through the years he's been playing with the eheads and it's only now his talent is recognized. there's also mikey, my orgmate who's got fingers so delightful they run over the fretboard and back again and all the while providing color to the songs. then i also find this pinoy j-rock band's bassist awfully good. he played at the anime convention by up ame. the band was rotschrek - at least that's what i think the spelling was - who had a vocalist that sent females screaming their lungs out. he's really tall, slender, wears shades, and has shoulder length hair braided and tied in a pony the last time i saw him. he said their name refers to beings who are afraid of light, like vampires. unlikely enough, only the vocalist was the one who dressed like one. all the others were typical boys in worn jeans and generic shirts. their bassist probably is a member of up ame. and since they were playing rock, he had a lot of riffs going on. there were even times that he would do solos and not their lead guitarist. and due to the fast tempo, his fingers were really quick and unyielding, delivering all the necessary notes. he doesn't look awfully good but i could get a crush on him just by his playing.
