This whole thread was great way to speak opinions and release some truth to the whole subject that we are clearly not grown up enough to face in person. So, Dan I'm glad you can give your opinion as well. But let me remind you to reread the comments. I never once said you took my bass lines or anythig negative about them. It was clearly this "knowbest" that claimed i was using your bass lines. My comments were to remind ya'll that shit was already written before you came in so please re-read that. 2nd, your "old bands still play the songs that i helped write"...cool...but did you just write the bass line or actually write the melody of the choruses, verses, chord structures that are the foundation of a song? Or just a bass line? Clearly thats different. And that's where my problem arises. About your "classically trained" bass playing, thats pretty cool actually man, I can respect that 100%. However your beginner "let me train you comments" just lowered yourself way down. Who wants to learn from someone like that except little kids. Go teach little kids, but were grown ass men who can respect each other on the "same level" of a maturity standpoint. Lastly and most important, I dont pride myself or just consider myself a bass player. I actually went to school for music production playing multiple instruments. I pride myself in songwriting, singing, creating harmonies, piano, guitar, bass, performing, entertaining, producing (reason, mpc, engineering, protools, working in studio with artists), etc. Im stoked for you that you are such a great bass player but from what ive seen, thats all you are. I could care less about being JUST a bass player. I actually decided to play the bass primarily live because I can sing and play bass at the same time. This is something I'm sure you know how difficult it can be. It's considered harder than playing any other instrument while singing. ...Now its time to lower myself ...So actually with my "collegian trained" producing skills if in fact you would like some lessons yourself on writing melodies, performing, producing, guitar composition, singing, which arent anywhere on my level, why dont you let me know. Maybe we can trade lessons. Or rather we can trade amateur comments back and forth. I'm Sorry that you regarded my handshake and ONLY a simple "hello" as "disrespectful, and very egotistical." Honestly, I apologize if it came that way when I just said hello and nothing more or less. All bullS*** aside I appreciate you dealing with all this in any healthy way you can. I hope that next time we run into each other we can have a better conversion and get to know each other completely outside of this subject.— October 17, 2011 3:39 p.m.

Haha nice bias comments, I wonder who "thatonewhoknows" is? Come to our next show and show your face and we'll see if youre not in the band sunny rude. Haha I guess ill remind you that I created the bass lines, guitar melodies etc way before Dan came in, which is clearly written in copywrites over a year ago, and spelled out here in this article. You can't read? Thanks for making yourself look foolish.— October 13, 2011 10:31 a.m.

Registration number SRu 989-678 are for both titles of work for Songs sunny D and californiyay, registered back in 2010 for sound recording, production music, lyrics and notes. Registration number SRu 1-017-095 for song "once you got it" or their version they "stole" without approval and or credit for "red eye" for the same sound recording performance, production, music, lyrics and notes. What's next? Lawsuit? Band off? both? Cause it could have all been squashed with respect and credit for one another. Not bad mouthing or claiming i "stole" what i actually wrote. So let's lower ourselves and sue for songs. Either way I'm down to protect my hard work and protect my music that I put my heart and passion in.— October 13, 2011 12:10 a.m.

Brett, I have the copyright serial numbers and certificate of registration anytime you wanna see them. I'm not sure it is smart for me to paste them here legally or what not, but due to the constant slander of Bad Neighborz and disrespect to what I wrote and contributed, the letters are being sent.— October 12, 2011 7:40 p.m.

Bret get your facts straight those songs were copywritten back in 2010 and recorded. Just because an album came out sooner doesn't mean the song wasn't created earlier.— October 12, 2011 6:24 p.m.
