I HATE THE BANJO!!!! Do you hate it too?
 

There is nothing I hate worse than the banjo or bluegrass hillbilly music. Is that your most hated thing too?

you must seriously be a rookie...

he could just be a serious rookie.........

surely you jest...

Isn't the world full of enough hate already?

"Squeal piggy, squeal"

I love banjo music and bluegrass music. Get me my fiddle Pa we gots some music to be a-playin' and some strings to be a-pluckin'
Check ma profieel if ye don't believe me.

Doesn't like the banjo? What is this...a joke?

I prefer electric banjo played with a wah-wah pedal. But that's just me.

P.S. How can you hate banjo more than bagpipes? Just wondering.

I love the banjo, in spite of "duelling banjoes", and gave one to my son, the self-taught and not half bad, guitar player. He sounds good on it, too, and has yet to tell a tourist that he has purty lips.

DUDE!!!!!

are you fucking crazy???


the banjo is sweet man............

'cept for that damn string half way down the neck of course.

When I think of the banjo I think of two things:

1) Deliverance

2) Hee Haw (rip Buck)

I simply can't abide intolerance!

Banjos is sweet... ESPECIALLY that extra string about halfway down the neck!

it is a sweet instrument isn't it grump.......we use it on 2 or 3 tunes of ours and it just adds........something.


but that 5th string always messes me up so..........i let my buddy dial it in and I stick with the bass.

They are sweet in the right hands, dangerous in the wrong ones. I haven't toyed with one in years... the neighbors are grateful!

How could you hate something Steve Martin plays so well?
banjo

Bela Fleck is a genius!

As long as it's played well, it's a fun instrument.

Pickin' & a grinnin'

Hee-haw!

On New Year's Eve in 1995, I played a featured banjo solo with the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra.

Just take a few minutes to let that whole sentence wash over you a bit.....

warrrreagl, we're going to need pictures. And a soundclip. Video would be good actually. :D

and this would be a canadian banjolier at the westview marina in tahsis, BC:

sweet phil..........i lived in Tahsis for a couple months awhile back......never got to see this dude but......he does have a nice instrument.


yeah you freaks can read into that as you may.

You hate the banjo? Thats a damn shame! The banjo is glorious fun.
Have you seen Billy Connelly play the banjo? Fantastic!

Happy four-and-a-half-strings, everyone.

Banjo is perfectly fine. I don't seek it out but if it is playing in some muzak capacity I will live with the strange sounding notes.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Need I say more?

/me is going to start "playing" kingston trio songs and, you know what...you guys will LOVE them...right, fly?

As already mentioned, but it is worth repeating, Bela Fleck is amazing.

For some reason, I don't even mind the bagpipes as much as most people.

What are strange sounding notes? Sometimes they clang and sometimes they cling. The listening is the trick.

No notes sound strange in space or the near space. Can you hear even the banjo on the moon?

I love ukeleles..and the sound of the wind whistling
through my screen door..

Pass the banjo please

The banjo is amazing!! It can be used for lots more that just "hillbilly music". One of my best friends owns one. I have a mandolin, I dont really know how to play it yet, but I do play the guitar.

dude,the mandolin freakin' sings eh?


check our band out,(i think it's "lighter drug")we use mando and banjo for fillers.........love those sounds.

"lighter drug" is just one of your many fine tunes, fly.
I'll have something for your ears soon! (no banjo, tho)

I absolutely cannot stand the banjo.

Lighten up, Francis.

I've been there. Bluegrass used to get my back up. Not really the banjo's fault but it drew my ire, for a while. Then I heard Bela Fleck and thought, it isn't the banjo, it's the Bluegrass. Then I heard the Gourd's cover of Snoop Dogg's Gin N Juice, which isn't strictly speaking bluegrass, but gets pretty close, and the obligatory bluegrass song on each Phish album, and then I heard Hayseed Dixie's bluegrass covers of AC/DC and realized that it's like Yiddish - it just sounds irritating until you realize that there is something fundamentally amusing about it.

Now, emo banjo I would probably still hate, but I can't even imagine what that would sound like (grey grass?)

thanks grump........can't wait to hear it.:thumbsup:

youse gots ta love these guys:
