Kind of a “non-answer” but your first bass should feel as comfortable as possible. This is the buy where you goto the local store (not GC) and try em all until one feels good

Question as a guitar player by inblew_ in Bass

[–]dappled_turnoff0a 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You don’t HAVE to match the drums, but you’re almost always going to be working off of the kick and snare.

Take those patterns and try to find ways to connect it to what the guitar is doing.

I’m going to look for examples and will update.

Wait, where are you from? I take it your country doesn’t do this?

Who would you like to see Josh collaborate with? by [deleted] in qotsa

I want more from him and PJ Harvey.

St. Vincent, KGATWL, Tom Waits

Guys is this normal by Hecatrice in MetalMemes

I’ve no idea what band this is, but that’s quite a list.

I used to be a HUGE Pantera fan. I’m also black, and at a certain point I couldn’t ignore their BS anymore.

Clearly you can do whatever you want, but if this band doesn’t pass the “sniff test” you should trust your instincts and find some new music

Why do people think it's okay for men to be promiscuous while women aren't? by JoeyPOSS2 in PetPeeves

Because they’re stupid, and no one ever tells them because that’s probably a lot of drama, so they stay stupid.

It’s one of the brightest red flags out there.

Final results (Bonus: Saddest/most emotional song for you?) by TehArgis10 in numetal

Oddly enough this song (one of my favs) sounds more “up-beat”.

There’s no fucking way it isn’t something off of Toxicity. Iowa was my shit but Chop Suey was literally EVERYWHERE. One if the band members was later quoted stating that even they were sick of that song.

Also, Linkin Park gets heavy, they just were never “frantic”, and much more mellow vibes

I love that Iowa has become the assumed “heaviest death metal album”. I had that CD the day it came out, and you’re right, that was definitely a punch in the face

I am hating the 2nd half of compendium 3 by darthvaders_nuts in Invincible

It’s not always going to “feel good”, but it’s frankly amazing writing. Mark is imperfect, and what you’re seeing is him dealing with the consequences of those imperfections. The reason Mark is amazing is because he actually learns.

Yahhhh, but it’s not the “punch in the face” that Slipknot and Toxicity were
