bubinga5 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) im posting this as i love both these guitarists, there playing is wonderful and usually i love melvins bass playing, but i really dont like his slap playing on this.. its the sort of slap i hate where its all percussive, and he really doesnt let the notes or the song/solo breath... just wondered what you guys thought... not very musical imo... i wanted him to be so good on this, but the endless rythmic slap pop just bores me... its a shame because his fingerstyle is amazing... i guess its just a bass slap interlude but it really doesnt have to be like that... imo.....[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAsWqdc0S38[/media] Edited December 25, 2012 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I normally like him but this a bass feature within a song .... I think it is ok in the throwaway context of these things. In general, I like spikey dynamic parts and for me, they work better in short bursts. I like his playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 It sounds pretty good. It's not like he has been shredding away for the whole song, he gets a little bass break/solo and so does something cool for a bit. When he starts repeating that pattern over and over and the audience loses the beat it becomes a little bit tiresome but they quickly pick up the new beat and it sounds good. He has some nice ideas there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
