Thanks Stilgar, that was funky.

Suddenly I'm visualizing a Dune version of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, playing funk, and presented in the visual style of the recent Denis Villeneuve films.

Idk about male bassists, but i would go through hell fighting off a dozen lions while on chemotherapy, i would swim through metres of whale semen while battling the Red Army, get all my limbs amputated and be imprisoned in solitary confinement for a year in Alcatraz just to have a lick of the condom that was used to fuck this woman.

Metal drummer: hold my beer

What's the purpose of bass players?

Well, somebody has to wake up, wash, dress and feed the drummer before practice.

Jokes on you, I'm colourblind

close! your line was “she’s so pretty” feel free to try again

As a bassist of 30+ years….. I feel seen.

Good bass does just as much as good drums for metal in my opinion. Here's a good example of every part of a band with a chance to shine:

BEYOND CREATION - Omnipresent Perception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0MkJtI3FvU

Drums - 3:08

Guitar 1 - 3:49

Bass - 4:17

Guitar 2 - 4:45

Usually we're not seen. This is your moment, brother.

I had to turn down my Fender Rumble 500 because if I turn it to 5, it makes my pants flap like I'm in front of a fan, and it caused enough vibration to make one of my drummers crash stands fall over lol

I should buy a bass

[tachyontele@lemm.ee]

That's some crazy talent. They don't even need vocals. Probably more listenable without, actually. But I'm getting old.

From the tapping to the fretless six to the solo duel, very very cool. Thank you
