[QUOTE=Mr Herb]Thatd be easier, to jsut buy a record from em. Does it take a while to really get that album? like it does with lateralus?[/QUOTE]
The first time I heard anything from that album were clips from iTunes, and at first, I wasn't to into it, but once I actually heard the album, I really enjoyed it immediately, but I think by the third listen, it had become a favorite.

Lateralus, I loved immediately. The only Tool that I didn't instantly, fully enjoy was the first album I heard from them, Aenima.

And has anyone watched the interview clips with Steve Wilson on the PT site? Some of them are really, really interesting. He explains his connection to the sound of Trains, the inspiration he takes from Opeth and Meshuggah, why he plays concerts barefoot, etc. Check it out, I'll post a link in a second.

He also said that the next album will be one of two things: really heavy, or much mellower. Time will tell, I guess.

I see. ill check it out!


The patient fu cking owns

Halo has one of the coolest bass lines ever. Right up there with Money. :p

And yes, Wilson writes and performs about half of the basslines. Not live, obviously, but nonetheless, if you look on the credits for [I]Deadwing[/I], it specifies which songs Steven and Colin played bass on.

I'm going to get a powertab for Mellotron Scratch. I've been wanting to learn it for quite some time. :-D

Moses- No.

Here's the link to the interview clips.

And they're coming to NYC on October 1st. I'd love to see them live.

i loved undertow and lateralus.

Awesome, thanks for the link. I shall make my way over there and watch.

They better come to Houston this time. Hopefully there will be more dates to the tour than what they have confirmed already. I really would love to see them.

Wow, he completely slayed Korn :lol:

Yeah, but as I said, I'm pretty sure that's only on Deadwing.

Awesome, Steven Wilson and I share our favorite movie director, David Lynch.

I didn't know he played a fretless bass. :eek:

Man, I saw some jazz bands on vacation, and y'know, most of them play standup fretless basses. Some of those guys are flatout amazing. I mean, they can seriously shred on their bass.

Jazz> most

Also standup basses don't have frets.

I love watching jazz bassists. I saw a trio of piano, upright bass and drums recently, and I just love that kind of thing live.

ah man, Steven Wilsons seems like the coolest guy ever

Speaking of bassist, what do you guys think about mudvaynes bassist, his imprecive id say

Jazz is so interesting to watch. There's a jazz improve group that plays at a club in the city where I live (same club where I saw Team Sleep in early July). By the end of the night, they're all trading off solos. Good stuff.

He's highly Ryknowned.....

Jazz is basically about giving the soloist time to express what he feels in his soul at the time. My highschool is an arts school with tremendous talent and one of our jazz groups is touring around Europe right now.

Moses- I know, I just felt like pointing that out. :p

Kage- Yeah, it was quite the unique expirience for me, because around here, the only bands consist of maracas and sombreros. [size=1]Mariachi++[/size]

Knifeboy- I'd considering one of my favorite, if not my favorite all around genious musicians. :-D

Herb-Ryan Martinie is quite good for a nu metal bassist.

yea jazz bassists are amazing, at least the ones ive seen.

Anyone have some of the rare PT albums they'd like to share? I don't exactly have hundred+ dollars just laying around, and I can't find anything really on soulseek either.

Alot of nu-metal bassists are good Jake. Martinie, Sam Rivers, almost any nu-metal group has a hip-hop rhythm section which means the bassist and drummer are usually decent.

sept for bands like linkin park, staind, trapt etc.


i saw martinie on the mudvayne dvd and he was just eye popping. Ive seen tons of bassist and hes certainly not the best but he really took me by surprise. mudvaynes drummer is pretty good too

Ryan Martinie started out as a jazz bassist, so thats why he is good :thumb:
