in support of duckface

[sincity]

You may call him duckface but my god he smells sooooo good.
right in the nuzzle point just where his neck meets his collarbone .........mmmmmmmmm

and you know they say that when they play guitars, the faces they make are their "sex" faces ........
so he shouldnt really be called duckface at all - should he girls?

Dont knock em. They are ALL lovely boys and treat women with respect. Southern charm - cant beat it.
Yes ma'am.

[lazyblackdress]

Actually he plays bass and Jared for all we know has been offensive about women.

There is also no doubting he has ducky features sometimes, unlike The Nathan and The Nacho!

Actually I think you'll find that a bass guitar is IN FACT A GUITAR. Duh!

*Breathes* be glad you're not in the same room as me right now or you would be in pieces. There is no such thing as a bass guitar except for in the heads or retarded guitarist who think they can play bass.

The modern electric bass bares a passing resembelance to a guitar due to Leo fenders designs, however it is a decendant of the double bass the last of the viol family. Where as guitars are decendants of the gittern and the cittern,.

Playing bass is an art: anyone can play guitar. This was a much longer post till i took the swearing out.....

Oh dear
crawl from thy own back passage little one.
A bass GUITAR by the fact that is called a Bass GUITAR is infact a GUITAR.
Lets ask Fender if they specialise in fine Bass Guitars or if infact, when Jaco Pastorius or Pino Palladino calls up for a Bass Guitar - whether they send them a VIOLA!!!
I think not.
Better still, lets ask Jared if he plays a Bass Guitar or if he throws some shapes onstage with his viola!
Tsk Tsk
whatever happened to rock n roll?

Well, I'll not pull my punches this time, you see the thing is I'm a bass player not a guitarist, and as such i could play with almost any group of instruments in any genre. When was the last time you saw a guitar in an orchestra(yeah there are a few spanish concerti but really they don't signify)

As for asking Fender anything, thats a bad idea as they have no soul anymore, i was refering to the work of Leo Fender in the 50's/60's not the corprate whores who use his name and designs but haven't actually done any product development in a t least 20 years.

I said Viol not Viola there is the world of diference between the two.

Jared would be able to play all his basslines on a viol and bust shapes if he so wished. I don't care what he calls it, hes a bass player! even though he has the attitude of a guitarist he has the style and soul of a bass player.

Rock and Roll? all the great rock and roll players played double bass!

Give up there is no way, in hell, you can win Give up there is no way, in hell, you can win Give up there is no way, in hell, you can win

Darling, I think I you deserve a medal. For being a sassy girl, much like Carla and Queen Hazel of of Nathan/Caleb commune. Bless you.

Heavy sigh ...ok.... It was worth running up the international phone card to straighten this out once and for all. Just spoke to him. He confirmed that he does play bass guitar - hasnt a clue what a Viol is ("is that some kind of rodent?") Also, I suspect, though I didn't ask him, the only "bust" shapes he is familiar with are about a 32DD!!
Now why dont we stop this and just say he plays great, looks great and we love him.
Also, you may be wise to apply your time and energy for detail into paying attention in your english class!! Grammar and Spelling!!! tut tut tut

*lights up a cigerette*

Now listen here you lil sycophant...

actually that's all i wanted to say

BA DOOM!

hey dirtybird, can i have a drag?

[Jane]

Ha-ha-ha! You just made me laugh so hard! Five post in and your talking like an original over on the official forum! I miss them and their cheerleading ways.

Awh and you think I care what Jared Says and that I'd be impressed by you pretending to phone him such naivety warms my heart. Jared muckied his ticket by dissing the girls at Glastonbury (possiblly to impress some Irish girl) plus there's the way he posts on here. Actually you sound a lot like him with your actuallies.

He should really take a leaf out of Matthews book and concentrate on being the excelent musician he is, and not pretending to be in Spinal Tap.

I wouldn't expect him, or most people to have any grasp of musical instrument history, but a lot of bass players enjoy the fact that they are playing instruments that has remained pretty much the same the same sice at least the 16th century.

Being a bass player is a position of honour and distinction, musically and spiritually, like being a drummer (though drums have a different spirituallity) Every single note a bass player plays builds a foundation for the rest of the musicians. No other instrument can imply so much with one single note, a guitar never can.

Now lets get to the personal stuff. Just because I can't spell doesn't mean that I'm not smarter and older than you, I'm probably both.

If Jared comes on as himself not as "guest" or Jess etc. I'll tell him why hes a bass player and not a guitarist. ( If he doesn't know he really needs to learn) but I really cant be botherd talking philosophy with someone who doesn't actually read my posts.

I think this is Duckface in disguise. Shocked and saddened that his parents lied to him all these years when he asked then did he look like Donald Duck and they said no, he now spends hours online defending his tattered repuatation and realises that British girls will never have sex with him, lest they should end up with duck children. L.A girls are beginning to see the resemblance tool.

He does sound dopey in interviews so this person must be an avid fan. I wouldn;t say he's a great bass player. He's okay for his age but he's hardly one of the greats. As a musician he's vastly inferior to Matthew, who I get the feel actually spends times becoming a better musician other than just shagging girls.

I suggest that you, my dear, also pay more attention in your English lessons. Grammar was the only word that needed to be capatalised. Using three exclamtion marks is just pure greed and you never start a sentence with also. This also applies to and, because and but. The first T of the tut needed to be capatalised as it was the start of a new sentence and OK should have been capataised, even though OK in itself in an incorrect spelling. Okay is what you should have wrote.

errr... whauw... arguments, and grammar

I'm not very good at English grammar, sorry, but:

1) When has Jared looked like a duck!? Show me pics! I don't want to be evil without a proper reason

2) He's not the best bass player ever, but he learned a lot in a short amount of time. But i think someone said that he's still learning the basic stuff.

3) He was a cock when he dissed english girls, and he should shut the fuck up and practice on his bass, instead of saying shit. *demands public appologize*


hey that would be awesome!

oh and

4) I wish i was half as good on bass as him, but i'm not, and i'm sorry *sigh*

sorry for spelling and grammar!!!

~Kim - the bass playing Jared-fan-but-not-really-because-he's-kind-of-a-cock

[debaser]

I actually think Jared is a pretty intelligent kid. He should shut his mouth more often but that comes with age.

But then again we should all shut our mouths more often. I wish I hadn't shared the duckface thing with you guys because it's being abused too much. It was meant as a comment not an insult.

You guys are labelling someone you don't know a cock and that's not warranted. I'm defending someone I don't really know who was such a little gossip and told someone something I didn't want anyone knowing. Yet I still think semi-highly of him even after that so you guys should give him a fucking break and in all honesty he probably wouldn't sleep with 85% of you anyways so I'm sure he's not crying over your stupid comments.

Blackdress you officially fucking annoy me. What a grammar NAZI... and jokes that include peoples parents aren't actually funny... they're tacky.

I have so much more to say but I'm going to comment later as I've got to get back to work.

.... Whenever I see the name Kimmie I think of Kimmie Gibbler. Now that shit's funny!

bloody hell, i'm away for 2 days and look what happens i think its a little harsh to judge someone just because of a quote in the press. apparantly it was said as a joke and taken completely out of context anyway... but we'll never know right? he's a good bass player and has been nothing but nice to me. the duckface thing was totally meant as a joke just like caleb does the shit face when he sings... anywaaaay as i've said before put any guy of his age in a sucessful rock band and they could act a lot worse.
*hides*

Kings of Leon slam English women
03/07/2004 - 20:36:06
American rockers Kings of Leon have slammed English girls for failing to be as hot as Hollywood women.

[/b]
The Molly's Chambers band were less than impressed with the ladies in the audience during their recent appearance at Glastonbury - who they have described as "rough".[/size]

Bass player Jared Followill says: "The girls in the UK are rough, not like LA girls.

"If you go to parties there and you look like you have money you are guaranteed to get laid. The quality is so much better and there is far greater choice.

"You go to a party wearing a Dolce & Gabbana jacket and you know you are going to get some hot girl taking you home. We have a wild time."
