It's easier to start playing bass than guitar but you have to work hard to get good at either. I think bassists get shit because of bands like Motley Crue where the bassist just doesn't give a shit

@@calebbean1384 not that the bassist doesn't give a shit so much as he sucks. It's been proven that other bass players did the recordings on their albums and Nikki Sixx blatantly has been caught in concert using pre-recorded tracks. Makes you really appreciate Steve Harris.

Worth mentioning, there are mixes floating around on youtube that put Jason's bass back in, and that album sounds way better. Would have been a modern classic if they hadn't shot themselves in the foot like that.

@@calebbean1384 the reason why bass is seen as easier than guitar is not because bass itself is easier than guitar, but the things that bassists play do often end up being easier than the things guitarists play. in fact most of the things guitarists play are far harder on bass, including but not limited to: lead playing, because of a much larger space between both strings and frets and bends and double stops are completely insane; chords, because barre is really difficult with thick strings, switching chords is already hard enough on guitar and larger space between both strings and frets does not help being basically unable to make use of open strings, fewer strings and being obligated to play high up; and if you are playing with your fingers there is a speed limit that cannot be crossed making tremolo and non-legato scale runs impossible unless you got robert trujillo fingers making legato your only option and making most guitar solos nearly impossible to replicate on bass. also you have to build up way stronger fingers because thick strings. the only techniques that are easier on bass are: tapping (because of more space between strings), slapping (no shit), muting (and only if you are playing with your fingers). techniques like sweep pickings are absolutely insane in bass, and the fingered equivalent (which includes thumb raking) is so insane its easier to do sweep fingering with tapping than without it. and bassists get shit on.

Its because a lot of people believe that Bass players are just lesser guitar players. Or "anybody" can play bass. Which isn't true at all. Its just as much of a demanding skill as Guitar.

YES! You found the words i couldn't find to describe it!

That or it can even blend in a bit with the kick

Except with peace sells, the bass used had more mid frequencies than low frequencies, so it didn’t blend at all.

@@pleaseenteraname6825 also tru

i love Kennebunkport

Mans had to violate me like that

I've been fortunate enough to rarely ever misvalue my friends, and when doing so, not so dramatically. Even so, you can value a friend greatly, even more than they value you (but not because they don't care, just because you care so much), and yet still be taken aback by what it feels like to no longer have them in your life. Uninteresting very long story time vent for those bored: Recently I lost three friends in a very short period of time, having already been the kind of person to never have more than a handful of friends at any one time to begin with. We all met at an IT contract job and got close and would talk on Discord every day, or close to it in the "later" days (2.5 years after becoming friends). Two of them were a bit flaky, but for largely good reason. They were fathers and had a lot going on with their significant others too, and one was kinda just like that anyway lol. The third was the one I became closest with and we talked daily and played games regularly. Late last year me and the close third friend lost contact with the first two entirely. I tried to recontact them as recently as the first couple months of the year again, even through text which was rare for us. Usually that was sort of the direct hotline to someone if you wanted to talk to them about something important or quickly. Nothing. Things got weird with the third friend and he just kinda went quiet on me. I let things lie for a while because I had already often been the backbone of our little group so I was like "okay maybe I just need to step back a bit, people have shit going on or whatever, it's cool." And yet it never recovered. I briefly got back with third friend again online and he said things were just busy with work and stuff, but I think it was just a cover based on prior understanding of each other. Talked/played once or twice after that and then gone again. I got upset and let it stay dead for a couple months and said something with a "so is this really how it's gonna be?" type message, and yup, that's how it's gonna be. Nothing. Just like that, I lost about half my friends in ~6 months. Some days it's not as noticeable, as I'm known for being something of a hermit and keeping to myself/gf as super tight core, sometimes my best friend, so when days go by where I'm mostly keeping myself occupied, I'm okay. But when I want to talk to someone, when I get that "surprised I haven't hear from ____ yet to---oh right..." it hurts. It's just tragic to me because I don't see any reason why it should have happened. It didn't have to be this way. You don't have to talk to someone all the time to be friends with them. If we had to move to a twice monthly thing from daily or something, that'd obviously suit me just fine because it's about friendship not frequency. Guess it was all or nothing. I see the third guy playing games somewhat often since we didn't unfriend each other and it irritates and depresses me. Gf saw from his mom's FB he got hit by a car recently, not badly. Thought about reaching out, but saw he was playing the next night so I let it go. Fuck, man.

Geezer Butler was easily the most important member of the band. Not only was he the founding member, but he gave the songs their depth and heaviness. Without him, metal wouldn't have been as heavy as it is. Plus, he did all the songwriting.

Filipino Monday 🗿

@@planetsabbath Facts my friend, Geezers bass complementing Tonys riffs is what made them so heavy. For example when geezer comes in on Into The Void along side that monstrous riff by Tony it sounds so immense and heavy. Bass is essential

probably because the bass is playing in the same octave as the guitar these days

Same with Metallica, they are all about the low end.

Cough cough And justice for all cough cough

+Dashr it's called and justice for all they actually mixed out 99% of the base on that album

Well of course you can't because if there was no Steve Harris there would be no Iron Maiden

That's because he is the ONLY original member of Iron Maiden!!! He basically started the band.

I agree, but to be fair, a lot of the melodies and rhythms are driven strictly from flea, their guitarist doesn't play as big of a role in all their songs

+MetalLives5150 Their new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer doesn't. Frusciante was a huge driving force in RHCP and was a huge reason for their success in the 90's and 2000's until he left.

Frusciante's sound matches so well with Flea's Bass and add Will Ferell's Drums and Anthony's Vocal chops and weird lyrics. You got the Best Fucking Band in the WHOLE WORLD!

+Vol deMort I wouldn't go that far but... the rest of what you said is true

A lot of people praise him, but they'd be much better with a Geezer Butler or John Paul Jones type bassist. But hey, they're all just opinions anyway.

Exactly! That is why Pantera sounds so heavy, and And Justice For Jason sounds like crap!

V10 FSI i'm sure ...and justice for all would have been so much better if metallica weren't actively screwing mr. newstead over, honestly. i mean, i get it lars, you were missing cliff, but that doesn't give you an excuse to make the new bassist the butt monkey.

There would still be more thrash metal bands with superior albums even if it all went right

the bass is 50% of the song

Because Steve Harris is like the backbone of Iron Maiden so they turn up the bass in the mix their core sound relies on Steve's bass playing
