I had Evil Empire, but I didn't really get into it. I got the albums all out of order.
BoLA, Evil Empire, s/t, Renegades, Live & Rare, Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium.

Really? I got into Evil Empire from the beginning.

The basslines caught me, and I did find "Year of tha Boomerang" catchy, but once I listened to the s/t(I got it the week after I got E.E.), I wondered why Tom wasn't soloing like he had before. It sounded like more of a rap album to me than rock, although there are obvious rock tracks.
I'm a bit more open to it now. Tom's effects are pretty awesome. Tim's bass is catchy. Brad's drumming gets the beats stuck in my head, and Zack's political rapping got me into politics.

I actually almost like E.E. better due to the fact it's more Rap orientated......

Alot more catchy.

The rapping is catchy, but I've preferred the s/t above all of the albums. It seems to have more metal/hard rock influences and I'm a sucker for both.

Well not just the rapping, listen to Snakecharmer for a second and you'll know what I mean.

I did like "Snakecharmer", and I wish I could. I'll probably have to buy the C.D. again. Someone got into my C.D. case and took Evil Empire along with a Linkin Park C.D. I was going to use for skeet shooting.
It doesn't cost much. I liked "Tire Me", "Down Rodeo", "Vietnow", "Year of tha Boomerang", and "Revolver" so I'll end up getting it again.

Overall the album is more catchy, and I think parts of it are more original. I really love s/t though, but it's more of a mood thing. And on top of that I don't have it on my computer.

Acutually it isn't, name a Korn song with a good bassline. I don't find anything spectacular about somebody someones bassline at all.

Children of the Korn- Some pops in there drenched with effects
Justin- Flows very well to me, still too low in the mix
Seed- has a creepy feel to it
Cameltosis- more popping/slapping, this time without the effects.
Blind-the little bass in the beginning is just so phat I can't tell you. Also the outro has a latin bassline in there.
Ball Tongue- No need for explanation there, the slapping/popping.


That's only off of two albums. I really must agree with you on Tim > Feildy though.

I don't really like to many of those basslines that much, except for Blind which isn't bad. Even when I was a huge Korn fan, the bass was always my least favorite part of the band.

Still you can't say they are bad basslines, just that you don't like them that much. Also I forgot about Porno Creep.

I said none were really that good, not that they were all bad. There's a difference.

I can't recall the bass in Porno Creep... maybe I'll give it a listen.

Well, I think some of them are good. Definately not great but there are bands that pay no attention to bass.

I have the biggest hard-on for Timmy C's bass tone*

/fanboy

*cept the twangy MM Stingray sound on the s/t.

Has anyone here seen Timmy's new Double neck jazz bass *drools*

/fanboy also.

Yeah that bass is pretty cool.

You guys are comparing too totally different bassists. Sure, they both do some slapping, and use more effects than your every day bassist, but Fieldy isn't really utilized in the typical fashion. He's almost a percussive bassist, really, whereas Tim Bob actually provides the melody occasionally.

However, if I had to be stuck with one's tone and ability, I would take Tim Bob over Fieldy.

It looked really heavy though.

Were not really compareing, were just saying we like Timmy more, as you did.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Were not really compareing, were just saying we like Timmy more, as you did.[/QUOTE]

I'd say they probably have a similar ability (I could be wrong) but Timmy's tone would take some major beating. Does anyone else find the fact that he is tuned B-E-A-D really annoying because it means us common four stringers have a basta[COLOR=Black]ard[/COLOR] of a time working out the songs?

^^^
Its not that bad. Tom does the same thing and it works out fine for me. Any updates on the covers yet????

Could someone link me up to the double neck jazz bass? Haven't seen it.

By the way: My girlfriend made me the coolest gift, she gave it to me today. Its a small mirror with a large wooden frame and on the frame is written all the lyrics to Freedom (as she knew was my favourite song). Beautiful handwriting and it was just an awesome gift.
Just thought I'd mention it hehe. :D

Theres BoP with bass. Not the greatest, but good enough. Anyone think I should turn the bass up or down?

Well, someone needed to get this thread going again, so I thought I'll post something. But honestly, I've got nothing. Are Audioslave playing any festivals this year? If they do I bet they'd surprise a lot of people with some RATM songs.

What do we need for BoP now? We got teh drummage and teh bassage, so we need vox and guitar. C'mon guys!

I just restringed my guitar, and will most likely be pracitcing that song this week, and will have it recorded by the weekend... I leave July 5th to July 21st to go to Italy, so I'm ganna try really hard to get done before I leave...

[QUOTE=machinehead1]Evil Empire is my favourite RATM album[/QUOTE]

Seconded, then it would have to be self titled, and then battle of los angeles.

I saw the video of RATM playing 'Testify' on Conan O'Brien yesterday. Its sweet!!! :thumb:

Has anybody thats doing Vietnow got anything to show for it yet?? :confused:

Wow, that must have been before the SNL show. I couldn't imagine NBC letting them on any of their shows after that.
That show was sweet though. You had to get the background info on it and I thought it was awesome.

Yeah, they did the SNL show I think about 3 weeks later.

Why did you get banned?

Well, I've been fine. How 'bout you?

[QUOTE]Yeah, they did the SNL show I think about 3 weeks later.[/QUOTE]
I guess they really only banned de la Rocha because Audioslave is allowed on NBC programs.
It should have been Tim, he was the one who lit the flag on fire and threw it in Forbe's dressing room.

Pretty good. I spent the last week in Colorado, so that was fun.

How's that cover coming, fellas?

:lol:

I think it was a brilliant thing for Tim to do to a presidential hopeful.
Ever wonder why he didn't win? Other than politics.
