^badass shirt, never seen that one before!

 

[DeathFromBelow]

What don't you like about new CC? I've always felt that they are one band who didn't get lame with age, and though I haven't listened to their latest, Kill and Evisceration Plague were great albums IMO.

Just curious.

It's not that I don't like the new stuff, it really crushes live, but I just think the old classics work better on records. For some reason.

Broke my leg in the pit at a King Diamond show during the opening band! Still stayed till the end!


Keep Calm and Stay in the Groove

What I think of as a Tom Araya signature model

It's strange for me to say - especially on a bass forum - but the two metal bands that I've been listening to a lot recently don't have a bass player!

Slomatics & Black Cobra. The guitar tones are crushing and there's plenty of bass frequencies.

I also love KEN Mode, Anciients, Baroness. Some great bands from Portland - Toxic Holocaust, Sioux, and Wizard Rifle.

For my old school fix - Candlemass.

Black Cobra kick some serious ass. Bassplayer or not.

I'm envious of the rhythms they come up with. Love how he sort of shouts instead of yells.

That's understandable, the records just don't Corpsegrinder and Alex justice compared to their live show.

Yeah, I know, everytime I've seen them live I've just stood there in awe of how amazingly tight and professional they are. Definitely one of my all time favorite live acts. Much respect.

I'm a metal-head. I've been a metal fan since I was a kid. I'm into many different types of metal music. Here's what I'm into.

heavy metal
groove metal
industrial metal
thrash metal
power metal
symphonic metal
progressive metal
doom metal
gothic metal
melodic death metal

I also like hard rock. Even though I like other types of music like dance music(i.e techno, trance, progressive, etc.), I've always enjoy listening to metal music.

You can hear Sioux at their siouxtheband bandcamp page.

Just recently discovered them. Saw them in a really small club and it was great. One guitar, bass, keyboard, drums. Bass player played a lot of octaves (basically a power chord except muting the middle string). Sounds more natural than using an octave pedal. He was also using a new prototype from Mr. Black pedals (not sure what it will be called but is sounded great).

 

[DreamError]

Yes.

Jelly, I haven't seen them live, yet

Extreme Metal Bass is very well written, too. It's got me practicing finger style now, versus using a pick like I used to.

Proud metalhead here! Grew up in the AZ thrash scene in the 80s... The time when Metallica nabbed Jason from Flotsam and Jetsam. My roommates band practiced at our rental home and they often opened for Sacred Reich and Flotsam. Great times. Metal is in my blood!
