Metal bass, I really don't understand the fun.

So, it's only trollin' if you don't agree with it and musical masturbation if it's not your genre of choice?
Work on your stage presence. Can you play these "easy mindless lines" thrash around and headbang at the same time? Try and get the crowd pumped or something.
If so, and your bored... Then quit.
If you hang around long enough to be involved in the writing process you can have your way or be more involved in the musical element.

You're trying to hard.
I love me some country, but not the pop/Nashville stuff like Trace Adkins. Puke. Guys like Ryan Bingham and Todd Snider make me happy though.
Seriously if you don't enjoy the music and are standing there looking bored nobody watching is really going to enjoy it.
That's one thing that sucks about technical metal. They all stand there and stare at their instruments. The ability to do such things is awesome but can be dull to watch sometimes.

Yes, seriously. You are gonna call out others on attacking genres they don't like? Please...
Can we stick to the topic please? If you guys want to debate about who sucks more, please do it in PMs.
play what fits the song. if you cant have fun playing a song you think is good, then youre SOL. playing simple bass parts is fun if the song is fun. playing technical bass can suck if the song sucks.
play what fits.
play what fits.
I'll take a look. Through Pandora I have found some good instrumental twangy country music that's pretty amazing.
first off, if you arent having fun you can stop playing metal
second, metal has loads of jazz and funk influences.
im a metal musician, but i was never into metal until my buddy asked me to play some bass tracks for him. i too thought it was boring. but thats the particular player. metal is a very diverse genre and accepts influences from everywhere. theres plenty of room to do your thing. you dont have to play what the guitar is playing.
