Don't know if that's representative of their best work or not, but I do have to say that the bassist is pretty darn good. No arguement there.
The music, though, made me wanna go get my .45 and stick the business end in my mouth! So depressing and negative. Not my thang, you know. But that's not to say you shouldn't like it. Just my opinion. Well, I better go put on some Britney and get happy again. |

Anyway, I really like mudvayne. The drummer and Ryan really lock well but not only that, the singer really makes me feel it. I cant explain it, its just one of those things that music can do.

I know that he pulls out a different bass just for that song live aswell. Some of his other lines are based around the open "b' string, so I think that he does use a regular tuned 5 string for some (most?) of their material. |

Now I'm GASing for a Thumb...

The Drummer and Ryan fit in perfectly, and this is proven on, pfft ALL their songs! The only thing i dont like about LD50, is thats there is too much electronics, too much sound, not produced by the instruments. But apart from that, its pretty darn cool. As for the guitarist, he sounds good, but...neh...he doesnt make the lines AS interesting as they could be

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2000 Location: Milwaukee, WI | | | GOOD GOD! I sat down tonight and actually tried to learn some of those songs. THEY ARE ******* HARD!!! I Think Ive become a bit full of myself lately, this was a (not-so)nice wake up. Some of them arnt too difficult but then there are some...sheesh. Also, I like the fact that the guitarist dosnt complicate his lines, it gives the drums and bass more room to work.
I re-bought the CD a few days ago and I fell in love with it all over again. Its been in my car and computer non-stop. Again, I cant tell you how their music makes me feel.
Kirby, I agree with you about the electronics. It leaves the mix on the DVD a bit empty.

first off i think mudvayne refers to a point in romeo and juliet (i think it is), where the king says juliets become mudvayned - filled with mud and inturn a saying for disgustin, appaling etc. 
my bro downloaded a ryknow bass solo (mostly slap), it sounded VERY fleaish, with similar speed bursts to stanley clarke. it was pretty good though i must say!
2 years ago when i was into that kinda music, i saw them live at ozzfest, id been playing about a month then, so that appearnce had a huge effect on my bass views. luckily i didnt just idolize him, and soon 'moved onto' other bassists (and genres), such as good old classics like stanley clarke, stu hamm even to iron maidens steve harris, aswell as the 'newer ones' ie wooten!
erk i rambled a bit back there!

Notice how cool it's become to say you used to like/be into Mudvayne?  pretty funny IMO.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: tewksbury ma usa iam a hick, | | | i know he does did use a fretless on the ablume on some songs.i know live 3 out of the 4 times i have seen them he played dig on a 4 string.the frist time i saw them but allready new about them he only played one bass the hole show the 5 string thumb bass in the dig video.after the ablume was selling he got more basses.i guess. the frist show i saw him he didnt leave the stage to retune or any thing.he didnt leave the stage at all. so i figure he uses the same tunning for every song.this was on there frist tour for ld 50 befor it came out.
the second time and the rest of the times.i saw them he had a black 4 string thumb he played dig on. u guys say he has no lows in his slap tone i have the same problem with my warwick i just figured out cut the highs a bt and bost bass alittle more..live he didnt have this problem guess he found the right warwick for a slap tone or the right eq qith his ampeg. god i love mudvayne i guess i should find that cd.

| The problem with downloading them is that you really don't know if it's truly them. Post the mp3 if you can, I highly doubt that it's him. I remember someone mentioned a flea solo a while back and it turned out to be an absolutely horrid slap solo with no time and bad tone; and it wasn't flea. |

The layering on there vocals is also quite impressive as well. Wow, I really do like this band. I dont give a crap if theyre numetal or ohlmetal.
Again, a bit off topic. Are some parts of their songs in diffrent time sigs?
