Was he the one that fucked up his hand so he could do insane stretches?

i think so.. supposedley he has a weird joint or something like that, that lets him stretch his pinkey alot.

yeh.. you can tell by watching him that its kind of went to his advantage. I think his injury means he can only move his pinky a certain way or something.

He's special because he was in Megadeth.

:lol:



as far as "all he is is speed" , thats bullshit, he plays mostly jazz scales that sound cool as fuck, and his vibrato/bending is excellent.

And yeh he's part of the reason peace sells is such a good album.

I have the same thing. I fucked up my left hand in a fight and after it healed I can stretch my hand pretty insanely wide. The downside is that it sucks for tight chord grips on the guitar because it gets in the way of my ring finger.

You're calling him uneducated while posting in the Musician's Forum and not knowing who Chris Poland is.

I wish I had some wierd hand or arm thing that would make me able to do things no other bassist could. :(

yeah good point...
but im calling him uneducated becouse hes acting like a child, and its hard to argue with a child... only thing he can say is "stfu" or "go suck dick", he cant post any arguments ( as far as i can see )...

anyway, sorry for the offtopic, its really not my fault...

My friend's dad has six fully functional fingers on each hand. Fuck, that would rule for bass.

it would be awesome to play some piano with 6 fingers. gattaca style nigga.

I don't have any pictures of the guy, and he hides his hands most of the time. He's self-conscious about it.

I told him I'd be putting Hendrix into history as a hack if I had six fingers. He seemed to like that.

haha 6 fingers would rule. imagine the speed you could play octaves at :shock:

Poland has a more unique style, but that's just my opinion. I just love his tone, I'm still trying to find that same sound as him.
