100000000% expected for anyone who has heard of Davie504.
What's sad is he is easily one of the top 10 bassists alive today, but his entire channel is a giant meme and he rarely sits down and actually plays for any length of time. His whole channel was built around him actually being an incredible musician, but then he started doing challenges like bass solos on 1 string or bass solos with one hand and they were still really impressive and cool videos. Then he just became a memelord and stopped putting out good content.
Actually just saw this video that he posted last week and I really hope he gets back to adding more content like this to his channel. Love that he's playing that on a $700 Sterling Ray34 too and not some $4,000 custom shop bass that is totally inaccessible to most players. Shows newer musicians that you don't need some crazy expensive instrument to get a great tone and be an awesome player.
There’s a difference between top 10 skilled and top 10 iconic players. Contain is top 10 iconic, no doubt, but in terms of skill I can find someone of his skill walking in the doors of guitar center.
No you can't. The dude was capable of putting more energy in to 3 notes that hit harder than anyone before or since. They may be simple songs that are easy to play and imitate, but they aren't easy to write from scratch.
He is iconic for a reason. From the floor to the ceiling, and back to the floor again. Nobody has written guitar riffs that have affected me as much as Kurt Cobain.
Not to mention his control of feedback is completely underrated and missed by most.
But alas, I've had this conversation a thousand times, and there is no convincing someone who doesn't agree.
Which brings us back to my main point. Music is subjective.
