sorry my friend, i think you never played one of those instruments.
they´re not extremly easy to play. Try to play a 5 min bass lick medium tempo on a 5-string with an 0.135 H-string. When finished you will cry!! :nanner: :1orglaugh

I agree with everything you have said except. the part about blink 182, yea they arent hard on bass or guitar but Travis Barker deffinatly doenst go easy on drums, several songs are easy but a lot of the songs he plays pretty hard.
And to the topic above, no complex ( guitar, piano, etc.) instrument is easy to learn, it all depends how much you like it and how much time ur put into it. Its never gonna come to you in a year it will take severl to get decent. but remeber what ever you choose its is worth it and ur doign it for urself not anyone else that is how you will get the most out of it, effort and perserverence.
I would suggest guitar or piano. Guitar will tak ea while to get good at but it also depends on how much yo try. Money wise i think thatif you are learning guitar and piano could be pretty easy on the wallet. You can get cheap quitars for around 100$ and for the piano you could jsut a simple key-board
The theremin?

I play an Electric Guitar, Strat Style & Electric Accoustic Cut Away Style. Try to find a song you really really like the opening notes too, start with something SLOW. Now copy it by PICKING the notes, not chording. I don't like to chord, 
I pick. I started 20 years ago!! And I'm still learning, and will till I die!! But I Love it (When I Have The Time), my Girlfriend Loves it, main thing right there, makes her Happy!!!

it depends on what you are trying to play. if you want to play sabbath or metallica, its easy. simple power chords. but, if you want to play a little steve vai or some satriani, it gets a little tough for novices.
Ok. A great question that requires a lengthy answer:
Here is what I play above average or advanced in skill: Guitar (predominantly blues, country, and rock lead), slide guitar(also dobro), banjo, pedal steel, fiddle.
Here is what I play average: Harp/hormica (cross-harp blues style), piano, sax, mandolin.
Pedal steel is hands down the most difficult of all of these instruments, even if you have a good slide guitar background. Banjo and harmonica are the simplest method (mentally challenging) though the speed of some banjo licks may be overwhelming. You'll find front men in bands (singers) naturally become the harmonica player as it is advantageous to have a lot of wind. Keep that in mind.
For the best combination of both ease of play (dexterity) and ease of method (theory). I would start with slide guitar. It is primarly played in open tunings as is the banjo and will require less use of awkward finger shapes. Get some mike bloomfield albums, or some cool Muddy Waters to start. If it is to hard,...add a little dirt to your sound to hide some mistakes and you'll sound like George THurogood at worst. That is my rec.....
whatever...you choose.....LEARN THE NASHVILLE NUMBERING SYSTEM. Reading music is fine, but not necessary. Save yourself some time in the theory department.
***btw. If you are playing to get chicks? My suggestion is learn slide guitar and then save up a lot of money and buy a metal body dobro. OR learn pedal steel. Guitar got me laid in highschool and early college and even though I am quite good now, it is old news to most chicks. If I play dobro, I think because women aren't used to seeing/hearing one. (i.e. THIS makes you original) the chicks really seem to dig it. that has gotten me laid the most (slide guitar played on a dobro) hands down.
Sax has never gotten me laid, because it is to hard to play it reasonable quite. and loud in your bedroom at 2am ain't sexy.

who wants help getting laid?
As the year 2005 ends and the year 2006 starts, one of my New Year's resolutions is to learn to play an instrument, as opposed to just play with my instrument. Now, I figure the kazoo is really easy to learn (duh!) but I want to choose a real instrument and right now I'm stuck between the guitar, the piano, or the saxophone, whichever one of them is easiest. Now, I'm sort of leaning towards the sax, to serenade some of the ladies I know
This is a fairly old post now. Did you keep your resolution? If so, which instrument did you go with?
Piano is the easiest to pick up.
The hardest part about playing guitar is building up the callouses on your finger tips.

i agree, drums are easy (although mastering it is harder) and i also gotta say the recorder
