What's the best salt for metal?

Bath salts.

 

[blindrabbit]

It has to be Himalayan pink salt. But even then I don't really like it, its more cool than anything else.

But pepper? Now there is a man's spice.

 

[Biggbass]

I always thought of it being more like Tabassco Sauce.

Is the bass in rock music rock salt? Can I be salt like the Angelina Jolie spy movie? Does salt density affect tone? If I soak my feet in an epsom bass will it help the soreness?

More salt jokes to follow

Rock salt is bigger, dirtier and is used by the ton up here in the north. Nothin' subtle about it.

And as we know, slapping is like the catsup of bass.

And fingerstyle on a P-bass with flats is Hollandaise.

There's a healthy range for anything. Salt, fat, carbs, protein, WATER. There is no such thing as Less is better...unless we're talking radioactive isotopes or heavy metals.

Thanks, guys, for totally destroying my Zen-like Enlightenment.

On a positive note...I'm learning more about, ahem, salt.

If I find a cool transition line between verse and chorus, for example, it's often better to use it once or twice in the song rather than every time it comes around. I have found that playing a moving bass part is often contraindicated when the vocalist is singing a "wordy" part of the song. And yes, rhythm is extremely important.

OTOH, I find riding the root and fifth synched to the kick all night to be deadly dull and boring, both to play and to listen to.

There is middle ground in there somewhere.

But this is the essence of what makes music, music. The composer/player creates expectations, by playing a repeated pattern or referencing a well known form, and then walks the tightrope of fulfilling those expectations often enough to create comfort while thwarting those expectations often enough to create surprise or tension. If your brain correctly predicts every note, it's boring muzak. If your brain can never predict the next note, it's noise.

The tricky bit is that different people have very different thresholds of psychoacoustic comfort. I grew up listening to Stravinsky (my dad was a fan), so while "Larks Tongues in Aspic" was too weird for a lot of people, it falls right in my comfort zone.

True. Years ago I read an article in the Scientific American that studied people's response to music and what makes "good music" to the study subjects. The bottom line is that it always came down to a fine balance between the expected and the unexpected.

Salt, like bass, is a taste thing. Some like more than others. Your "ruined" might just be my "just right".

Metaphor discombobulation complete.
