xilddx Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) I love this! It's really musical, I find most good Stick players' approaches to be more musical than most of the ERB players I've heard. The band sounds great and I'll buy this album. Great stuff, Steve!

Oopsdabassist Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 How is that even played???? Awesome stuff, completely beyond my comprehension.......amazed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Good innit Looking forward to getting the album. I'll admit I am not a fan of the 'I WILL KILL YOU'voice, but he sings nicely in the other parts. Love the music though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkpegasus4001 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Stunning! (ok i'm also not really a fan of the "I will kill you voice" much either) but I love the track and playing. I'll be recommending this to my mate at work tonight, he'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrenleepoole Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Holy moly! Great stick playing You can't beat really good stick playing. Too many players put way too much effects on theirs and it turns into mush. This track reminds me of a cross between Trey Gunn, Steve Vai and Laundry (a Tim Alexander project). In fact Laundry did release their album Blacktongue as a free download, but I now can't find it. There's some good stick playing on that album http://youtu.be/aQ0hcAKncyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I need to go to bed!! But I can't stop watching this bloody video There are some serious magic moments on this, it's really inspiring me! I can't remember music like this thrilling me for a long time, one or two numbers by sikth perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laundry is a name I haven't heard in years - I've got an album of theirs somewhere but I haven't listened to it in a long while, I'll have to go back to it now!

I remember being so reluctant to get a 5-string bass - I was perfectly happy with the constraints of 4-strings so I'm not sure how the leap to 10 happened!

xilddx Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Got the album on Friday. I love it! Not that much 'I WILL KILL YOU!' voice either It's a superb album, there are some truly lush melodies and chord sequences, wickid riffs, world class playing and writing all round. I played it to a friend last night, he made me keep playing it, he got serious thrills from it Top work, Steve, I truly hope the band gets the recognition and success it deserves. Cheers!
