Okay, it's time to stop playing bass

[40Hz]

Didn't do anything for me. Maybe I just can't hear it - or get my head around it musically. Seemed more like the absolute triumph of form over content to my ears.

About all I can say is he's certainly…um…fast?

What that means in the larger context of musicality, I have no idea.

Not my cuppa. But that's me.

 

[gully_jones]

Indeed sir, INDEED. Not really sure how I feel about that. I need to let the vertigo calm down and go lay in a dark room for about an hour.

 

[MVE]

Impressive, but not to my tastes. Tonal content lost in the madness. And cookie monster vocals just make me laugh.

I love Cookie Monster. I wish people wouldn't say that.
He's really not that bad of a singer.

 

[Richie Se7en]

Man, that kind of stuff is very humbling. That solo... I'm amazed someone so young can have that much soul.

Tai Wilkenfeld probably in the shed right now!

 

[Hahaha]

That was not my cup of tea.

I think that kind of playing requires ten cups of strong coffee.

 

[outoftune]

Impressive, but not to my tastes. Tonal content lost in the madness. And cookie monster vocals just make me laugh.

He could have just chugged the root note that entire song and not one person would know the difference.

@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!

 

[Humbled]

Well... He looked like he was working real hard, but I'm stuck on a laptop-only this weekend, so I couldn't hear any bass over that awful cat-in-a-blender sound drowning him out.

 

[jamro217]

Mohini Dey. Never heard of her until watching that video. Now I'm gonna consider quitting playing the bass. Maybe I'll buy a ranch and raise emus or something.

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

I like it.

 

[sawzalot]

Hm. He sure can play fast. Wonder how well he can actually groove. When I see stuff like this I remember Duck Dunn's comforting quote: "there ain't no money above the 5th fret."

[monsterthompson]

well, after I saw this guy, I decided that my skills are Mod edit - no profanity

orly? this is the first guy to ever give you that impression? ...because there are plenty of amazing players out there.

life lesson: someone is always better than you. if being the best is your only motivation, then hang it up.

 

[Sixgunn]

well, after I saw this guy, I decided that my skills are Mod edit - no profanity

Hmmmmm. I wonder if anyone HAS actually quit because of him.......

 

[dannster]

hmm, Deathmatch: that guy vs Phil Rudd...

None of you caught this. None.

Did you mean Cliff Williams?

 

[bolophonic]

I would enjoy seeing a video of the isolated bass, but the rest of the music was a total boner killer for me. There is a lot of metal nowadays that I will never understand.

 

[PaulReside]

Mohini is amazing and that video is old check out her newer stuff

 

[bassfacer22]

well, after I saw this guy, I decided that my skills are Mod edit - no profanity

While it does take time to learn to play what that guy did and it doesn't come that easy..

these girls and guys should be ones making you quit.. haha.. imagine what they will play when they are 29??



and **Edit - oh sorry somebody already posted her up before.. go figure right..ha.

 

[Sunset Shalom]

Death metal like this makes 0 sense to me. The album art is often 1000x better then the music IMO and even that is usually overly dark and or a bit cheesy.

 

[southpaw723]

That's some funny music

 

[MattZilla]

None of you caught this. None.

Did you mean Cliff Williams?

not one person till you. I did mean Cliff, but I do think that Phil would swat the guy and tell him to only play the bass notes.
