Okay, it's time to stop playing bass

[D.A.R.K.]

I appreciate that level of skill, but it gets lost in the arrangement.Saw a lot, but couldn't hear most of it.

 

[FrankLowend]

I don't think so, this insn't play bass...

 

[gln1955]

He's very good at what he does, I guess, but how would you even know if he got half the notes wrong?

Agreed. I couldn't hear much of the playing on the higher strings. I doubt the album mix will be any better knowing how Metal is but I'm going to check out more of their stuff anyway.

And yeah that bassist is very good. Pretty cool he figured it out all by ear.

I was of course being ironic, of course watching this guy encourages me practising more, I just wanted to see your opinions on this guy

I really don't think you want mine. I'll just note that we already have one of those, so do your thing.

PS I am an old f@rt but hey, not nearly as old as some of the classic metal players.

 

[Woolber]

Waiting....waiting......I have total faith that music will happen.......I know you wouldn't have posted if there wasn't going to be music.........


Well Mustang Sally is sounding pretty good right now!

 

[AztecViking]

It's a quaint touch to see some slapping in Death Metal! I also enjoyed reading the Smoke On The Water and Running with the Devil requests he got.

I'd say yes, if you want to play like the guy in the video, you should quit now.

As to why you would want to play like him, I don't want to go there.

I always love the old codger outrage on these threads.

 

[Shortie]

That is the weirdest looking typewriter I have ever seen.

 

[Cosmo Dalton]

Isolate the bass track and nobody bats an eye. Add Technical Death Metal vocals and everybody goes crazy.

 

[Shortie]

I always love the old codger outrage on these threads.

Outrageous sh---t deserves outrage.

 

[Shortie]

that sort of playing would not help me advance my career goal.

You're not looking for a gig playing cartoon music?

Well I wouldn't want to be around where the guy in the video practices...

 

[Steve]

Is it my imagination or did I just see a bass player make a bass playing video and he utterly buried his own part underneath drums and primal scream?

I say "see" because I couldn't hear squat.

 

[BassFishingInAmerica]

Was there any music in this video?
I couldn't tell.

@bak

to a fusion guy, this would make me much more likely to thrown in the towel... kids these days, sheeesh! Check out the solo that starts around 2 minutes, speed and crazy harmonic facility!

 

[Richie Se7en]

He's a pretty good character actor, but I never even knew Bruno Kirby played bass...
