Bee-Bee's song?

Chris Lawrence · 04.11.2008, 01:18 AM

I think Bee-Bee's Song is more a question of who's playing the bass...

SYRFox · 04.11.2008, 01:47 AM

Mieux: De Corrosion.

pbradley · 04.11.2008, 01:52 AM

Let's play master and servant instead.

Alright, fuck you all. Let's start over and this time I'll explain. Or I could edit my first post and make you all look stupid.

K, apologies! The question is -- what instrument does Kim play on each of these tracks? With no live performances of either to offer evidence, my ears still can't make a conclusive decision. Maybe I just suck, so if anyone has thoughts...

avantgarde1 · 04.11.2008, 02:03 PM

bee-bee's song is awesome. hi chris.

Forensic Scene · 04.11.2008, 03:28 PM

aww, i am nice! my sarcasm rarely translates when i read it back, sorry.

i kept wanting to start this thread anytime i'd hear one of these songs, but always forgot. so i just threw it out there, cuz the question was clear in my mind! i hope you'll all play along now, cuz i'm curious what the consensus is.

to forensic scene -- bass on which songs? both?

to be more specific: please listen to 'little trouble girl' and 'my arena' and, judging by your ear, determine whether you think kim is playing bass or (her trademark low-tuned washing machine era) guitar. post here. thanks!!

1. Little Trouble Girl-Bass, I'm fairly sure. The, for lack of a better term, throbbing in the background.

2. My Arena-guitar, less sure, but I still think it's safe to say.

themawt71 · 04.14.2008, 08:13 PM

little trouble girl
yeah im almost positive too its a bass.

my arena havent heard the song in a long time so i dont know.

Chris Lawrence · 09.17.2008, 01:09 AM

anyone else??

ZEROpumpkins · 09.17.2008, 01:19 AM

I think usually Kim plays bass when she sings.

'becuz' and 'washing machine' beg to differ. 'panty lies' would love to agree with you though.

she definitely plays guitar on my arena (actually, is there a bass on the song???)

noisereductions · 09.18.2008, 11:20 AM

Chris.. I think "Little Trouble" is a guitar. There's definitely a "bass part" (the so called throb) in the song, but to me it DOES sound like a low-tuned guitar.
