TMBG – Museum of Idiots Bassline

Eric — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:17:54 +0000

There are no decent tabs for this online that I could find, so I thought this could be a bit of help to any bassists out there. Apart from a couple of mistakes (and a more than dodgy start) this is as accurate as I can get it.

Drum Solo

Eric — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:46:23 +0000

This is an excerpt from a longer version of the song of my drum solo from March 1983. I was helping out a friend of mine at his school talent show. We played one song which will be come evident by the end of the clip. I had to teach the bass player his riffs and he did a pretty good job of it.

The idea of this performance was for my friend Greg to change from his Fender Start to a strat copy I had traded to him for an Electric Mistress. Ge had rigged up the guuitar with a humbucker pickup, it was a feedback monster and sounded really good. Greg was to smash the guitar at the end of the song but he got confused as to how he wired up the volume pot and when he thought he was turning it up he was really turning it down. He ended up switching back to his guitar and did not smash it, hence all the crackles during the solo.

I used some pictures of some of my drum heroes as well as the few pictures I have of my drums sets and myself. A couple of “surprise guests” will make an appearance too!

Words of His Majesty Emperor HAILE SELASSIE I

” EDUCATION DEVELOPS THE INTELLECT; AND THE INTELLECT DISTINGUISHES MAN FROM OTHER CREATURES. IT IS EDUCATION THAT ENABLES MAN TO HARNESS NATURE AND UTILIZE HER RESOURCES FOR THE WELL BEING AND IMPROVEMENT OF HIS LIFE. THE KEY FOR THE BETTERMENT AND COMPLETENESS OF MODERN LIVING IS EDUCATION.

BUT, ‘ MAN CANNOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE ‘. MAN, AFTER ALL IS ALSO COMPOSED OF INTELLECT AND SOUL. THEREFORE, EDUCATION IN GENERAL, AND HIGHER EDUCATION IN PARTICULAR, MUST AIM TO PROVIDE, BEYOND THE PHYSICAL, FOOD FOR THE INTELLECT AND SOUL. THAT EDUCATION WHICH IGNORES MAN’S INTRINSIC NATURE, AND NEGLECTS HIS INTELLECT AND REASONING POWER CAN NOT BE CONSIDERED TRUE EDUCATION. ***H.I.M.**

Blessed Be The Great Ethiopian Minister of Education.
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I.
Blessed Be Her Imperial Majesty Empress Menen
Blessed Be The Woman Mother of Creation.
