My area is a weird one, there are a lot of chavs and emo/indy folk in my city, there are a few core metalheads and we all seem to know each other somehow and most are elitist pigs, so only like Metallica and 'heavier' bands.

I can't believe one of the metal chaps laughed at me for liking Clapton! :mad:

[QUOTE=Riva]I was just thinking. Would Steve ever pick up a fretless bass?[/QUOTE]


If he was a bit younger, I reckon so, but he is set in his ways now I reckon. I doubt he'll try it :upset:

Imagine if he did. :eek:

I would forsee amazing things for the new album.

I love fretless basses so much. He needs to use one... now.

[QUOTE=ashman]If he was a bit younger, I reckon so, but he is set in his ways now I reckon. I doubt he'll try it :upset:[/QUOTE]
Sadly i have to agree with this. He barely even uses any bass apart from his white one. A fretless would be awesome though.

in one of the studio diaries, i'm sure there's a picture where he's using an acoustic bass. i saved it somewhere, i'm gonna check.

EDIT: because i'm lazy, and can't be arsed to set up an image-bucket thingymajig, here's a ysi link to the pic.

mmm...acoustic bass...

what songs has he previously used one on?

The Clansman, Blood Brothers and The Journeyman are the only ones I can think of now.

[QUOTE=Deth]The Clansman, Blood Brothers and The Journeyman are the only ones I can think of now.[/QUOTE]
I don't remember seeing him use it on Blood Brothers in RiR:confused:

i think he used a regular bass for Journeyman on the DoD tour, although i'm most likely wrong...

but the studio is acoustic, i guess.

Crap, maybe I'm wrong then. I thought he did.

I'm pretty sure that on DotR, he uses an acoustic bass for Journeyman.

i haven't seen the dvd of DotR, and i don't remember seeing him use one when i was there, but i couldn't see too well at that point.

Want to borrow it?

i suppose i could do. this week isn't too good (exam tomorrow and wednesday, gf's wednesday and friday night) but i suppose i could get it back to you after the weekend.

Aye, just whatever, I'm not really gonna be watching it over that time.

ok, that's sweet. you might not see me 'til tomorrow afternoon, at which point i will be stressed / pissed off / upset about having just failed an exam.

Alright, we may be able to repair to a Public House for you to drown your sorrows

i have lessons in the afternoon :-/ and i need to write my prep for wednesday's exam. although i may be drunk anyway, i'm taking my hip flask so i can relax a bit :p

I think he did use an acoustic on journeyman live.

Gives me a reason to put DOTR on :D

[QUOTE=Deth]Crap, maybe I'm wrong then. I thought he did.[/QUOTE]

Studio version sounds like an electric to me, but then agian i could be wrong.

Anyway, on the the fretless topic. I believe steve would use one, hes already experimented in so many other things its hard to believe he wouldnt at least try one out.

Meh, i really wouldnt care either way.

What's the difference in sound?

Maiden had some good stuff back in the day and their vocals kicked a$$ so,....all i have to say is that Cradle of filth did them some honor with there covers of stuff like Hallowed be thy name and the trooper

na. i don't like many IM covers. the Kids Of Boredom did an awful trooper cover too. the only covers i like are the Arch Enemy ones and the Iced Earth ones.

Cradle of Filth did not cover the trooper, nor Fear of the dark.

They covered HBTN did they not? Speaking of Maiden covers, I need to hear Opeth's version of Remember Tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Cradle of Filth did not cover the trooper, nor Fear of the dark.[/QUOTE]
i wouldn't know... i just assumed that had they cover any IM it would be abysmal. which would follow the suit of their own work, IMO.

[quote=Rattlehead]na. i don't like many IM covers. the Kids Of Boredom did an awful trooper cover too. the only covers i like are the Arch Enemy ones and the Iced Earth ones.[/quote]

The only covers I like are Johnny Cash's version of Hurt by NIN, Fenix TX (I think) who did a punk cover of Barbie Girl by Aqua, and anything by Hayseed Dixie.

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt is really good. I also like Tool's No Quarter and AFI's cover of NIN's Head Like A Hole.
