Even nerds can rock!

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning Some people didn't believe me when I said I was in a rock band in my teens. https://www.viewtube.com/watch?v=oR...

[The linked video shows Doctor playing on multiple tracks. Two electric cello, one drums, one electric guitar.]

Pinkie @pinkapalooza · Dec 08 @doctortuning awwwwww look at you! so cool! I still like the not-electric one though

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @pinkapalooza Thanks! I appreciate your appreciation for acoustics too.

Doctor @doctortuning @pinkapalooza Electric cello can be played to sound a lot like electric guitar. Cello can fit in with rock music easily! #notabigviolin

[sailorlaughter]

Pinkie @pinkapalooza · Dec 08 Yeah! Cello's super cool! #yaybigviolins

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @pinkapalooza I can't think of a single instrument that isn't cool!

[sailorlaughter]

PINKIE!!! @pinkapalooza · Mon DD oh my god I saw the coolest thing the other day!!! I totally thought of you!!!

[The next tweet is just this picture.]

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @pinkapalooza That's fantastic! Do you know what this is called? I want to play it!

[sailorlaughter]

PINKIE!!! @pinkapalooza · It's a weird guitar!

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @pinkapalooza Yes that's a fitting name. Where exactly did you see it? A local music shop perhaps?

[sailorlaughter]

PINKIE!!! @pinkapalooza · @doctortuning Nah it was totally just on the internet just google it

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @pinkapalooza Weird guitar, I must find it! I must play it! #shakesfist

[sailorlaughter]

PINKIE!!! @pinkapalooza @doctortuning do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[trustme]

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning * nerd rock

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning nice job for a little brat though #thisshitissick

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou Why are people so surprised by cellos going hand in hand with rock music?

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou I was actually lead guitar for that band. Not everyone appreciated the cello. #notabigviolin

[sharktrash]

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning oh it's not the cello don't worry #cellosaremetal #def #notabigviolin

[ translation: ur a giant nerd, cello has nothing to do with it ]

[trustme]

[ Translation overlooked. ]

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou To be fair the band did need a lead guitarist. Rock band basics.

[ offensive ]

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning so there was no other choice, got it.

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou Was Manticore immediately accepting of a cello player?

[ While we're sharing... ]

[sharktrash]

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning Considering he pretty much formed it, yeah.

[ now that's not necessarily true but he was probably one of the first assigned at least. ]

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou Good to hear. Others might have doubted it would work.

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou As you've likely experienced. #notabigviolin

[sharktrash]

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning I don't leave room for doubts.

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning Knock their socks off first time round and it comes a long way.

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning Of course there's always the ignorant ones. #oshit #dontgetmestartedonthatone

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @betterthanyou Explaining what a cello is can be half the battle.

[sharktrash]

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning two thirds, more like.

S. Squalo @betterthanyou · @doctortuning next time i'm gonna hit the person with both a cello and a violin so they can feel the difference.

Luce @lilyoverbones @doctortuning What, can no one else imagine you in leather and big sunglasses?

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @lilyoverbones Apparently not. #ownsaleatherjacket #forreal

[giglio_madonna]

Luce @lilyoverbones @doctortuning Clearly I should get one myself too. #makeastatement

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @lilyoverbones That would be GREAT! We could match!

[giglio_madonna]

Luce @lilyoverbones @doctortuning Think they have any leather in purple?

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @lilyoverbones Oh yeah they have leather in all kinds of colors.

Doctor @doctortuning @lilyoverbones Should I be getting you one for the Solstice?

[giglio_madonna]

Luce @lilyoverbones @doctortuning Doesn't tell me ruin the Solstice surprise or something?

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @lilyoverbones Oops! Forget this conversation! #scifiknightwave #mindtrick

[giglio_madonna]

Luce @lilyoverbones @doctortuning These are not the tweets I'm looking for?

[trustme]

Doctor @doctortuning @lilyoverbones Correct. In fact you don't know what we were just talking about.

[giglio_madonna]

Luce @lilyoverbones @doctortuning I've forgotten why I'm even on Twitter, in fact. See you at practice, dear?
