What genre is represented most on TB????

What. Is. Crust. Punk? :eek:

Hehe, I guess the easiest way to describe it would be as a mix of hardcorepunk and metal. Hardcore turned to 11.

Crusty goodness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIEDImoWf0E

And before anyone starts off with the "dang kids these days and all their crazy genres, get off my lawn!" type posts, crust has actually been around since the early eighties.:D
 
I don't "mainly play" any particular genre; rather, I tend to re-invent myself every few years and move to a new genre, although there has been plenty of overlap. As I look back over 33 years of playing bass, I've played, in professional situations:

Blues
Bluegrass
Folk
Rock
Hard Rock
Prog
Classical
Jazz
Jazz-rock fusion
Jam Rock
Acoustic punk.

That pretty much covers it. I generally don't spend any time listening to music outside of the genres I've played in, with the possible exception of Pop, which has its moments even though I've never really done a gig in that genre.
