He just turned 50 like a week ago.

You know you are getting old when you start to lose your touch, and your music isnt quite metal anymore. That doesnt mean that you should stop playing metal, it just means that you should take more time to rethink things, and come back to it later when you have more energy. Almost every band...

I've been experimenting with listening to different thrash and metal bands (particularly ones born in the 80's) because I dont want to get sick of my favorite metal/thrash bands. I currently listen to Metallica, Megadeth, Diamond Head, Faith No More, and I am going to try Slayer and see if I...

Thanks everyone, thank you Bezbass but I think I am going to go with the attachment SuperK posted. It may not be the most accurate (I think most of it is wrote an octave up), but I am SO much better at reading sheet than tab. Plus it is a solo so as long as I follow the right scales and most of...

Hey I just started playing bass about 6 months ago, and I wanted to start a band. I will probably wait to start when I get a little better at scales and stuff like that, and playing faster. I am 15 years old, and wanted to maybe start a Metallica cover band to start out with, probably with...

My first one was a song my Dad wrote with one of his bands, the song was called "Encrusted". I know the first bass line besides that was a Metallica one though
