That bassist is insane, its cool to see a band where the highlight is the bass playing because typcally bass is turned so quiet in the mix an is just a simplified version of what the rhythmn guitarist is playing.

@tommycampanis867

See, this is actually a very common misconception. You see, bass is not an intrument that SHOULD be getting fancy too often. It's main function in the mix at all is to fill up space so the sound isn't thin. When it gets as complicated as this, the purpose of filling space is being voided because he is paying attention to all the stops and playing along with the guitar. It looks and sounds pretty cool, but it removes depth from the sound.

+GetScaredGaming See, it is a common misconception that instruments have to play a certain role and that they got a predefined space in music. First of all music is a form of expression and a musician should never be limited by anything. All the greats have never cared for the expectations of their audience but have amazed them with their own unique style they developed while following their heart. Learn all the rules and practice all styles of music. But when it comes to expressing yourself, forget everything, listen and just let it flow.
