For metal- the scene was just really coming into its own- death, morbid angel, napalm death, slayer, megadeth, suicidal tendencies etc etc.
there were some hidden gems to be found, but often they were well hidden😉
I’m reminded of the various bass shows I’ve been to. Slappers everywhere!
The thing seemed to be plug in, turn up to 11 and beat the crap out of any instrument you could find. Even headphones couldn’t block out the wickety wickety, or quiet periods come to that lol
in context within a song it can be amazing, but unaccompanied - it’s a definite no from me 😳
