>that Rancid feel
You got a problem with me pal?
what band
>bassist is the vocalist is the synthboi and sometimes does guitar parts
>bandmates call him a dancing monkey
real musicians play bass while guitarists and drummers stroke their egos. This is simple stuff.
>drummer leads the band and writes all their material
>despite being bitter rivals, guitarist and drummer trade lead vocals on different songs per album
Take your hand off that fucking dial
mice parade, cheer-accident, any other prime examples?
how could I forget soft machine
phil fuckin collins
*shrug*
>singer has crippling jealously and bitter hatred for the lead guitarist who also happens to be his older brother
Ringo Starr
Jellyfish
Geddy Lee?
You don't like the Beatles?
A frontman with a bass really looks ridiculous on stage.
*blocks your path*
>Bassist is the Chad of the group and the only one capable of doing a normal interview
Les bust his ass out though. Roger just stands still.
>All band members are behaving properly, except for the bassist who keeps getting into sexual abuse allegations territory

Paramore
Sex Pistols

It's Richey Edwards-era Manic Street Preachers.
>it’s a funk band
>the drummer is also the singer
>say it to my face, you fucking manlet
>rhythm guitarist and bassist are the conceptual/lyrical/aesthetic masterminds of the band

Have you ever tried to play guitar as a frontman if you're >6'? You look like a you're playing a childs toy
Bass is the way to go for tall singers
"Take my music seriously."
Also this, guitar feels like a toy, expecially shorter scales ones. And most of the time they sound wimpy too, unless you have humbuckers and heavy distortion.
the butthurt metalheads are here to post pictures of really hairy men
Said no Les Claypool ever
Singing while playing complex bass lines is honestly a mystery to me. I respect those guys
Well that sure as hell ain't The Band.
Based
Dü they really though?
>cowbell player is leader of the band
