About me - Sam Campbell

My name is Sam Campbell, but I usually wish to remain anonymous in my writings, in case I ever became popular. I have a very high opinion of myself over most others, and I do not immediately value other people until I have evaluated their point of view. I

Entertainment > Musical Instruments Gibson or Fender: Which do you prefer: 4 of 13

To be quite honest, I prefer Gibson guitars, although the selection of Gibson basses is quite limited to spinoff guitar models, such as the SG bass and the Fire-and-Thunderbirds. Gibson's guitar models on the other hand, are fantastic things. The Flying V has transcended fashions and styles from the 1950s when it was introdu...
Food & Drink > Soft Drinks Are soft drinks really as healthy as they claim: 2 of 6

We've all heard that Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, etc., are all unhealthy, and we've all heard the myths that pop up in conversations - like how if you put a tooth (you may have heard a steak or a pencil) in a glass of Coke, it will dissolve overnight, or that drinks like these destroy your stomach lining.

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Emo music: Why I hate it: 2 of 5

No, no, no, no. Just no. Where to begin...emo does not stand for emotional, which is a very common misconception.

Wow...my favorite band. Hmm...I would have to say that my favorite is the band Yes. What a fantastic and most talented group. Rick Wakeman is the spine of the band, as the best keyboardist in the world (there just isn't arguing with that), capable of making any combination of a million sounds in a single second, but the tale...
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Music is losing its 'depth': 25 of 38

Not true. Music is not losing any depth at all. Most of mainstream music is themed around people's problems. If you think about all musical genres, or any song you may hear on the radio, the majority of lyrics in mainstream music are about people's problems. Not to mention that the musical signatures, rhythms, and melodies a...
Entertainment > Musical Instruments Electric bass tips and techniques: 3 of 3

In my experience, playing bass can be extremely difficult or extremely easy. When I first began, I just bought a cheap bass and started learning some of the easier tabs. I've grown as a player since then, two years ago, and I've been taking lessons for more than a year and a half. On a bass guitar, there are many things you ...
