Did we ever find out what The Hat meant with the original post? I remember Milty and me asking and since then, the thread has covered potatoe bread, God, the first 119 Metallica albums and the Rammerstein's window cleaner
Lol.
I realise that virtually all genres need some kind of bass line, but I really don't get why someone would want to learn bass for metal. I cannot pick out the bass in any metal track I listen to. Yeah, I know it's there somewhere, but why would I want to learn a genre where it's almost unnoticeable ?
I'm totally biased I know as I love funk where the bass line is the main attraction.
Then again, how boring would it be if we all liked the same stuff, all part of life's rich tapestry I suppose eh.
