Would that be:

or
- Robert Trujillo, bassist for Ozzy Osbourne from 2001 to 2002?
or
- Robert Trujillo, bassist for Metallica from 2003 to present?
Personally, I love the first 2 Roberts, and can't stand to listen to the last 2.
Muse is an overrated Radiohead tribute band.
I've played in heavy bands for 10 years, and i hate heavy music.

Most jazz music is just obnoxious and usually sounds like a bunch of drunk kids and kittens making "music".
but there is jazz that is good aswell.
oh yeah indie is also the poorest excuse for music and its only just in front of "bands" that claim white noise is music.

good point i have to say... i guess i need to clarify that.
- i heard infectious grooves and i liked it.
- never heard him with ozzy.
the other two went straigt to the trash can. (I kept mp3 backed up in my huge collection of music tho). I must add that i didnt like Suicidal Tendencies in the whole thing, not bass specifically. Of course, that's just me. I know is not a bad band, but then i confess i dont like em :-/
I apologize for spelling errors. I suck at writing english as i do in bass playing
so agree here. Im listening to Diana Krall - Love Scenes right now. Awwwwwwesome bass playing there! fingered Upright Bass + Piano is a perfect mix
If I'm not mistaken thode are Christian McBride's hands making magic there.
here's a confession... I'm so bored with the bass that when I record, I 99% prefer to record the bass part with a keyboard.
my sides are aching...
That's your opinion.
But on the Weezer thing, were you really paying attention when they first started gernering attention? This isn't a shot at you at all, and I whole heartly agree that opinions are that of every indavidual, but this is one of my favorite things to discuss. As such, I ask, do you chuckle because you know of 'Beverly Hills' (Make Believe, modern era) Weezer? Or have you ever really noted them and just find them unappealing? Because from my view, along with bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Jimmy Eat World, Weezer's era of 'emo' (second incarnation, NOT nessicarily a derogitory term) found just the right blend of 60's era Pop sensability, with early 90's angst to become so widely popular. This (again, as I have seen it) has resulted in so many kids picking up instruments and copying the style, and those are the kids that are hitting it big now. For better or less, I think that most rock and roll pouring out of teenager's speakers is just as much a result of Weezer as Zepplin or the Beatles (but not nessicarily more so).
The Counting Crows thing though, I'll never be able to justify. Just the way I feel
Counting Crows (IMO) falls into the same category as Hootie & the Blowfish, Gin Blossoms, Spin Doctors, and a bunch of others - great bands that got too hot too fast. I still love them, but I'm so sick of a few of their songs I'd rather pull a Van Gogh than sit through "Hold My Hand" or "Two Princes" one more time.
WORD.
I would add one more though - the Pixies contributed to SO much music, including Weezer, Nirvana, etc.
After 6 year s of careful, dedicated, steady practice procrastination, I still suck at bass, but people still like to hear me slap. I feel like dropping the instrument.
I think that Dream Theater and other (wheedly wheedly wheedly allthescalesknowntomaninonesong) bands are missing the point.
I think that some the really avant guard metal heads these days have more soul and ability than most of the jazz guys I hear today (and I work at the school of music)
I think that the guys who produce hip-hop and rap records these days have more talent than the rest of the industry
I'm terrified of music piracy. I have no idea how to get my music heard, because i'm not novel or an exceptional prodigy or anything.
I complain about not having gigs, but I don't look that hard for bands to play with.
Jeff Schmidt=musical genius, but I fall asleep to Outre.
Bass distortion is unnecessary and takes away from the music, but damn fun

ooh, and I think people should quit picking on Emos. Not a personal plea, but it seems that they get more flac than they deserve (some of em are damn annoying)
I like songs or grooves better than 'bands' or 'groups'. Every band since the dawn of time has some stuff that isn't 'appealing' (PC with that description).
-Jerry Garcia is cool, but I don't get the Dead.
-I can see Springsteens genius, but I don't own any of his recordings and won't.
-I like loud rock music but I feel that a vast majority of 'metal' is distinctly un-listenable.
-I have great respect for EC, but he's overrated as a GP.
-As much as I hate to admit it, clearly most artists/creators/thinkers have their greatest output, both in scope and content, in their 20's.
-Thanks for the opportunity to release, but this thread is just a wanking paradise, and I apologize for participating.
All IMHO. Goodnight now...

I love Killswitch engage, but as a bass player and a former percussionist, I have to say the bass sucks(the parts that stand out and I can hear) and the drums are pretty simplistic for a metal band, but I guess the sum of its parts makes it sound awesome.
