Great video, thanks for sharing. It still blows my mind that the first time I saw him was when he was in Suicidal Tendencies 😂

[KingPrawn]

I was watching this today. I love his comments about slap bass are absolutely spot on. I really enjoyed it

[Hellzero]

And the new album is out too. Listening to it right now.

Really enjoyed that. I like the imagery he uses to describe the different bass parts. As @KingPrawn said, I thought his comments on slap bass were indeed spot on. 
Thanks.

Kind of incongruous!

You mean Suicidal Tendenshit ! Simply awful... Too much dope ?

[Doctor J]

Just the one.

"It's a thin line between funky and disaster"....

[Hellzero]

Indeed, but here he and the band have fallen on the disaster side... Sounds like a bunch of teenagers trying to play, erm, "something" with all the "look, I quite know this and this and this and ..." parts.

I'm a big fan of the Suicycos... Heavy and funky...
