charic Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Very dream theater sound to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Prog metal-tastic! Sounds like Liquid Tension Experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visog Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yes all very well but the music in this clip didn't really use or show any of the Vic's character on the instrument. They may as well as had any math-metal bass player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hide him in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely going for the Rudess look though. What I can only assume is the inspiration for the above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi2IQNs8hlE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 had a listen and while it's good to hear wooten not playing his usual slap w***ery solo sh*te, I can't help but think that Dream theater do it so much better (even with mangini) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Not my taste but whatever VW does he does well and sounds good doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hmmmmm, I love my prog and great to see VW involved but the clip was too short to get me interested as it kinda sounds like stuff I was playing ten years ago or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Woodcock Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) A bit more has surfaced about this collaboration and it turns out Victor was a hired gun for this track: “Octavision is not a band at all. We were all hired by Hovak Alaverdyan (the guitarist and composer) to play on one song. I love the song; I love the writing; and I loved the challenge of playing on it, but I don’t want to be misrepresented only to help promote it.” [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2016/09/15/victor-wooten-shares-on-his-role-in-octavision/"]http://www.notreble....-in-octavision/[/url] Edited September 15, 2016 by Stickman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I like Victor Wooten and I like metal. I don't like this metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I couldnt even hear anything but the click of the kick, snare, cymbals and guitar... Pretty much yer normal metal sound I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
