Iron Man After Midnight I Can Be That Dirty Women

To replicate it you'll need a multi million dollar recording studio. There's probably $10,000 dollar compressors and even more expensive preamp. Its probably multi tracked and multi amped and the bassist was probably trying to drown out Chad's awful, droning vocals.

50 Million Year Trip - Kyuss

This weekend I started on Blood And Thunder by Mastadon. Not a complex song but the main riff is very fast. Maybe I underestimated it, maybe I'm just rubbish, maybe both but this one will take me some time. What an absolutely killer tune though. https://youtu.be/labytsb3gfI

I don't really like the Hoffner but I like that it's not the standard choice. McCartney sounds like McCartney because he doesn't use the usual instrument and amp choice. I know Fenders are popular because they sound great but the whole P bass in to an Ampeg thing is a bit unimaginative and always sounds pretty much the same. The Hoffner has never been a common choice so it stands out visually and sonically.

I'm always surprised when musicians have such appreciation for music which is so far from their own genre but I'm starting to think it's quite common among a lot of most creative musicians.

I think every Monday he does a metal video.

Planets 1 & 2 - Vista Chino

Satellite - Lou Reed

Down in a hole - Alice In Chains

I don't think it's all that recent. He's done quite a few metal songs. He's always a good listen no matter what song it is. I would far rather listen to Doug than Rick Beato.

On Graveyard Hill - Pixies

Poison - Alice Cooper

Who is requesting Ken?

Bullet (train) with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins

River Runs Red - Life Of Agony I completely forgot about them. Excellent band.

Inside - Stiltskin

Asphyxiate to resuscitate - Cannibal Corpse

I'm too ugly and old to get away with it. I can't play the accordion either but they sound bloody awful anyway so no one would notice that.

If everyone did the same thing music would be boring. I'm a big fan of Billy Gould. He seems to sound different on every record.

Whatever happened to them? Don't hear much of them these days.

I wouldn't be competing for that one

This Town - The Skints

No one seems to want a heavy rock / metal bassist in his 40s who can only rehearse once a week. Everyone seems to think they're going to be the next big thing.

I think very few of them look for someone available before posting a wanted ad. Searching through the wanted ads is a pain in the rectum because of all the ads with the all instruments option ticked so when you've filtered for metal bands looking for a 40+ year old bassist who can commit to weekly practice, half the ads that come up are actually looking for something completely different. I'm sure if I was a 20 year old female accordion player available to go touring with a electro pop duo I'd do much better.
