Eponymous

WTF?
I'm used to guitarists mocking the bass and bassists. It doesn't bother me too much. But this... This irritated me. A lot.
Today at work there was a group of people talking about Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. None of them actually know how to play intstruments but they claim to be great at these games. They seem to believe this entitles them mock bassists.

"Oh man, bass is so easy. It's the guitar that's the hard part. Yeah, I'm on expert on the guitar."
"Yeah, bass is so stupid."
"So It's me, my brother, and my sister. I play guitar, he's on drums, and my sister sings."
"what about bass?"
"My friend just got Guitar Hero 3. I'll make him play bass."
[Both laugh]
After making statements indicating this person believes he actually is better than Tom Morello, "After you make Tom Morello or Slash your bitch, they play bass for you."

I was a little disappointed in the way the guy from the running store responded. He struck me as the kind of guy that looks down on the back-of-the-pack plodders. They're out there doing their best just like the elites and everyone in between; they deserve respect too. Other than that, it was a rather funny phone scam; one of the best I've heard in a while.
