Tuesday Overnight Thread - February 10, 2026 [Not Doof]

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.

I know what you're thinking. Where's Doof? This Tuesday night ONT looks suspiciously like a Wednesday night ONT. If a Wednesday night ONT is posted on Tuesday night, is it still a Wednesday night ONT - just misplaced on the time-space continuum? or has the posting on Tuesday transformed the Wednesday ONT into a Tuesday ONT at a molecular level? So many questions.

TRex is just a dinosaur with a small brain and short arms. All I know is that Doof is detailed elsewhere this evening, so it is you and me. Glad you stopped by and pleased you've chosen to patronize the ONT. Happy to spend a little interweb time with my favorite Morons.

What will happen tomorrow night? Tune in tomorrow and find out!

In the meantime, an ONT means another edition of very random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Pants are optional regardless of the day. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

Department of Music

This isn't a music thread, but since most posts end up being a music thread at some point, let's just shortcut the process.

All hail the bass player. Do bass players get enough credit? Oh sure, the lead singer screams and yells and winds up the crowd. The lead guitarist unleashes solos in the spotlight. To be fair, it is all about the drums, but the bass player is the unsung hero.

But how many bands are driven by the vision of the bass player?

Les Claypool from Primus -

Bonus trivia nugget - Claypool auditioned for Metallica in 1986 following the death of Cliff Burton, but was rejected because his eclectic, "funky" style did not match the band's metal direction. Despite his high school friendship with Kirk Hammett, he was deemed "too weird" and "too good" to simply fit into their existing sound, leading James Hetfield to suggest he pursue his own band.

Cliff Burton was a force of nature and made some of Metallica's best music, but arguably the band was driven by James and Lars.

Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead -

Steve Harris from Iron Maiden -

Maiden doesn't sing about sex, drugs and rock n' roll. They sing about for what lurks in the darkness, British military history and Samuel Taylor Coleridge poetry. With a few exceptions along the way, Harris wrote most of the music and lyrics from the very beginning. Impressive body of work.

For what its worth, as with Metallica, TRex prefers the older stuff.

No idea if this is a true story, but would be a fun history nugget if true:

Full disclosure: My grade school science fair projects did not involve nuclear fusion.

Dallas 12-year-old achieves nuclear fusion after four years of effort

A 12-year-old Dallas student's four-year-long science project may have resulted in his becoming the youngest person to ever achieve nuclear fusion.
Aiden McMillan, a Dallas Independent School District seventh-grader, said he started work on his ambitious project when he was just 8 years old, and spent the first two years studying nuclear physics concepts before building his first prototypes.
He said it took some work to ensure his mother was comfortable with his tinkering.

37 No offense to the OP, but Les Claypool is the singular worst bass player I've ever heard. There is no such thing as "Lead Bass Player". Bass is supposed to aligned with the drummer in the "rhythm section". He overplays...badly...and on every song. If he wanted to be a guitarist, he should have given up the bass and played guitar.

And I feel the same way about Tool's drummer. There's no such thing as "lead drummer". Provide the rhythm, and let the other musicians tell the story.

Absolutely! AND he could play the keyboards amazingly as well! "In Through The Out Door" is often referred to as the John Paul Jones album. He was the one most centered at the time of the recording (Page was in a bad place) and his bass and keyboards dominate that album. IF you've never paid attention to John Paul Jones on *keyboard*, check out the Led Zeppelin song "Carouselambra". That entire song is a legacy piece for John Paul Jones.

64 It’s great (usually) when kids start early in their craft or chosen field. Wehrner Von Braun got in trouble as a youth for attaching solid rockets to a toy wagon, frightening the womenfolk and horses in his small burg.

Young Arthur Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa had an interest and n building radios in the 1920s, this was like the Internet of the day. For whatever reason, young Arthur could receive the radio transmissions at his parents home from a polar expedition being conducted by the military when no one else, including the US Navy were having any luck.

He went on to eventually form Collins Radio, a highly respected electronics manufacturer for many years. I remember a Black Hawk driver in the .mil who had a lot of experience in general aviation, and he told me “Collins” was the only thing he ever wanted to see when he got into the cockpit of an airplane.

Today it’s part of some humongous corporate conglomerate, Rockwell-Collins, but it started with some kid in his bedroom winding coils, and bugging his parents to buy him a couple WD-11 tubes. Love stories like that.

The first action to happen when Navy ships get alongside to swap supplies (Underway Replenishment) is to send over the phone and distance messenger line. Usually with a grenade launching gun. You have to watch, because the Gunners Mates liked to target officers on the bridge.

One CO I saw took out a driver and hit a golf-ball attached to the phone and distance line messenger line. That was much more dangerous for the receiving ship.

Chris Squire noodled too much. He wanted to be a lead bass guitar dude.

It could be, their way of letting you know “trans women are women!!” Could be. It is sad we have to reverse-engineer the “news” these days, but that’s the world we live in.

The reason I suggest this might be the situation, a couple years ago a story circulated about a suicide attempt out in the Mojave or someplace like that, they rescued this person. The article was very heavy on “She” and “The woman” and “her” adjectives, way way over the top, over and over. A light clicked off in my head. It was tranny. I can’t prove it, but I know that’s what happened. Maybe that isn’t what happened in this latest atrocity, but something to consider.

Same story. A properly marketed "two lead bass players!!!" band would out-draw the typical classical or jazz band. And none of them would out-draw Joe Satriani...who wouldn't outdraw a Ratt gig at an Indian Casino.

I'm not asserting Les Claypool can't play bass. I'm merely asserting he shouldn't, because he gums up the recordings he's associated with. Keith Moon could clearly play drums, but Pete Townsend admitted that playing in a band with him AND John Entwistle was hard because neither of them were focused on keeping the rhythm going even though both were playing rhythm positions.

143 "The nation's largest public utility—the Tennessee Valley Authority—says it now wants to keep operating two coal-fired power plants it had planned to shutter, changing course before a meeting of its board, which has a majority of members picked by the Trump administration.

In new filings, TVA's signaled that it wants to ditch closure dates for the Kingston Fossil Plant and Cumberland Fossil Plant in Tennessee, which would require further action from its board. The new plan would still include introducing natural gas-fired plants at both locations.

TVA had intended to shutter its remaining, aging coal plants by 2035 in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that spur climate change. But the utility, which partners with local power companies to serve roughly 10 million people in seven states, said it is rethinking the coal plant closures because of regulatory changes and increasing demand for electricity."

Bass is supposed to aligned with the drummer in the "rhythm section". He overplays...badly...and on every song. If he wanted to be a guitarist, he should have given up the bass and played guitar.

I'm honestly not sure if these are counterpoints or not.

Bass as lead: Flea in Red Hot Chili Peppers. He actually does keep the rhythm, but it's bass-forward party music, and I couldn't even tell you the guitarist's name without looking it up.

If this, then not that: you could say that about every metal guitarist with 7+ strings tuned at B-standard on down. If they really want to play bass that badly, then maybe they should instead.

Strangely, kidnapping for ransom is quite common in Central and South America, and hostages are mostly returned when the money is paid. Something about that culture lets it be successful, while in the US it almost never is.

Tumbler Ridge is a weird-ass place. It was an architect-designed "instant town" designed and built as accomodations for a huge metallurgical coal mine located nearby. All the houses, all the storefronts look like pastel gingerbread. Spooky. Then the mine closed for a long spell, and homes and shops were sold for pennies on the dollar. They tried to make it into an artists's retreat (so dope!). Then the mine reopened. I passed through it a few times. Weird sort of Stepford Wives vibe to it.

I'm not trying to piss any of you off, but none of you all making your case, and you're trying to hard to make a rhythm instrument a lead instrument. If you go looking, you will find LOTS of guitar forum posts praising Andy Sumner's playing on that song--the chording and rolling-chording in that song is very difficult because of the stretch involved with fingering one of those chords.

Its not a bass song. Its never been a bass song. Sting, and John Paul Jones, and Paul McCartney play AMAZING bass. But nobody listens to a song of theirs and says "God, he played a million notes a minute and ruled that song." Lead bass is an oxymoron.
