BottomE Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Deep Purple - what genre do they live in? (completely out of my depth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 If we are looking at it from a bass players point of view (as it's a bass player forum ) then it has to be hair metal. I can't even hear the bass in most death metal songs I've heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashell Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 As long as it's 'eavy, it's just bloody metal AFAIC. All the sub genres are confuse me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bassman7755 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1450982930' post='2937662'] Very briefly and there's plenty of argument but here's some to try out: Thrash - 80's metal. Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer etc Death - 80's into 90's. Cannibal Corpse, Carcass Death Core - 00's into 10's. Bring me the horizon, Misericordiam, Sucicide Silence Grind - 80's into 90's. Death, Napalm Death Grind Core - 00's into 10's. Atrocity Exhibit, Bring me the horizon Black - 80's into 90's. Mainly Scandinavian, lots of make-up. Melodic - 00's. Killswitch Engage, In Flames Melodi-core - 00's. Killswitch Engage, Beneath it All Melodi-death - 90's into 00's. Opeth Rap - 00's. Limp Bizkit, mainly Nu - 00's into 10's. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Slipknot. Attitude more than music style. Dent - 10's. Fell Silent, Meshuggah, Monuments Groove - 90's to 10's. Meshuggah, Down, Lamb of God Power - evolved from speed thrash with a touch of melody. 00's. Dragonforce Industrial - 90's to 10's. Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson Madcap - 00's. Linea 77, Sikth Electro - 90's to 10's. Mad Capsule Markets, Enter Shikari Post [metal] - 10's. Largely instrumental. Some Mogwai, explosions in the sky etc Symphonic - 00's. Extension of black metal. Dimmu Borgir etc Doom - 90's to 10's. Early Anathema, My Dying Bride There's a lot more out there and many of the bands I've listed span many styles. I've left out punk because I don't think that it's metal. Listen to some of those bands and see what you think!

colgraff Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hair metal. I love the OTT-ness of the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Funnily enough, the only difference between Glam metal (as it was at the time) and thrash metal basses, was just the colour. For example both genres used spikey BC Rich types, but whereas bright and day glo colours were part of Glam, black and dark colours tended to be thrashed. IIRC back in the day there was a BC Rich ad featuring Poison & Slayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Well, I had an exciting career in death metal. *) I never had a career in hair metal.

bobbytodd Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) any old school death/thrash will do me.one of the best gigs ive been to in years was the deathcrusher tour in Manchester Edited December 28, 2015 by bobbytodd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) My response is, I'm to old to understand the genre, so I really can't make an intelligent response. In other words I wasn't there. Off topic, I do know you have to be good to perform metal live. I would say the few local metal bands I've seen have not invested enough time to learn their instruments well enough to pull it off.The pros and stars on those records can play like a MOFO.
