I just watched the whole Slam the Clown video from Alain Caron (linked in my post above). I forgot how damn tight that band is. Whew.... The ending is just insane.

Matt Freeman from Op Ivy/Rancid is amazing. This solo is great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUQr_GqYCQ0#t=1m00s but I love all of his playing from way back in the Op Ivy days.

Love the opening to Fire The Faith by Monster Squad too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fRaVhspjZI

Freeman is definitely solid. I can't stand the lead singer from Rancid, so I don't listen to them much, but I've heard quite a few songs. Great playing.

I used to listen to them a lot back in the day. I always loved that the bass was such a prominent part of all their music; that's not as common as it should be.

while he is a fucking AMAZING bassist, there is not one bass solo of his which I find memorable.

I think this actually adds to his credibility.

He got his reputation, not as a fancy solo player, but as the machine that somehow keeps up with Petrucci and Rudess. Most people gawk at the latter, but in reality, Myung is usually playing right along with them with more difficult parts. He's a machine, not a soloist.

I don't think his parents let him see the sun until he was 18 and was ready for a signature model Yamaha to be made in his name.

I like everything about Primus, but I don't enjoy listening to them. I guess it's more appreciating what they do, as opposed to liking it.

The early stuff was far better. Kinda like metallica, Pork Soda was their "Black" album which coincidentally was mostly black. Everything before that album was excellent.

Fuck this thread. All the way to post 46 and no mention of

steve-harris-of-iron-maiden-rich-fuscia.jpg


He wins the thread for

1. Being in the greatest band of all time
2. Writing most of the songs for the band
3. Galloping like no other
