any saosin fans out there? Saosin discuss column

my friend tried doing a guitar spin with his bass... the strap clasp broke and the bass flew into his brother's leg... damn funny.
 
ouch that sounds terrible. im a bassist myself and one day when i have the courage i swear i'm gonna try that :roll: definitely need to have straplocks and a deathwish. imagine if the thing doesn't have enough momentum and halfway through it comes crashing on your back.. :?
 
either way, it was damn funny, his bro was like blooming red.
i wouldn't advise trying with a bass. cos a bass is far too heavy...
unless u get to swing it super hard, beyond natural strength.
Otherwise, as mentioned, it'll drop on your back half way.
Try moving your body more with it, if you're game enough to try.

Practice with a big block of wood with rafia string as straps. :lol:
 
read up some of saosin's stuff on wikipedia. xiao xin is a chinese proverb? WOAH!
"it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means 'small heart'. Fathers used to marry off their youngest sons for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well."

that's new :lol:
 
its always been around, it used to be in the bio section. You still can find it in they're forum site. ANTHONY'S great work.
 
as in the meaning of xiao xin... been using it since a lil boy. but never knew that it actually had such a deep history.


oh yeah the bass swinging thing. i've seen it. in some pop punk band vid.
i think it's amber pacific's poetically pathetic. and victor wooten has done it too. with his bro. it's doable. just needs skill. and a strong back.

yeah,i saw it too however i have never known it before though im chinese....

many bands go through that, over popularity in a small amount of time, the "mainstream" trap.
First the bands are good, they've been playing for quite sometime. But then they suddenly get popular.
Then they start writting crap. thats totally different from their previous works.
They betray their older fans, to gain new fans that are in the mainstream line. Loads of bands have gone under this trap. Only several have survived doing what they do.

that's called Sell-out.
 
i've tried doing guitar spins at home, i can get it done when the cables not attached, can't seem to do it properly with the cable on. hah, don't think i'll have the balls doing it on stage.

sorry :(...
i'm afraid that they'll become famous too quickly...and become another click five.

no worries..if u want to say they become click five, i can think of at least 5 other bands who are ahead of them

fall out boy anyone? I'm pretty sure their next album will be crap.
 
ahkiatt said:
isn't motion city soundtrack like the next click five?

Dude, motion city soundtrack has been around ages before click five... If you're looking for real good pop punk, they're your best bet...

i don't like the way they remastered their tracks.
Like for sleepers, bury your head, and no angel(final version) A.K.A New angel.
They slowed it down and had changed it vocal chords to become more melodic. But the new stuff is good. Come close, its far better to learn, some sense of security. :D
