Question:
Towards the end of the song ‘Primitive’ from ‘SoulFly’ there is a break with a riff that has a cool effect. I thought it was guitar at first but I just saw a live video of the song and the bass player is playing it. Is there any bass players out there who can stomach SoulFly help me with the name of this effect. Tanks and Tank-you in advance!

Definately !!!! and Mudvayne also kicks butt. I will go out on a limb and say, "If the jazz/funk and fusion guys in this group saw this guy Ryknow play live they would have to agree that this dude can play." He slaps, pops, slams, back hands ( : etc, etc. while playing 90 mph’s jumping around like an acrobat. Here is a link to a live video of 1 http://uranium.shnit.com/files/1_live.mpeg The live video for the song ‘Dig’ really shows him going off but it’s not up anymore. Any Hard and Heavy bass player should visit http://www.punkz.com/uranium/ to get live vids.

First let me state that I’ve played and listened to a ton of metal. It was the main thing I listened to and played for almost 10 years. That said, I have no doubt that the guy is a good bass player, but I couldn’t watch/listen to that link above for more than a minute because the vocals were absolutey horrid. I’m not talking bad, like a GG Allin or Morbid Angel bad, I’m talking really bad. There’s one thing I didn’t understand about a lot of borderline death metal is why the "singer" has to try and sound like cookie monster with strep throat. The thing is, he’s doing it on purpose… They should listen to Fear Factory, or Geezer Butler’s first solo album to find out how it really should be done. Anyway, that’s enough rant for me today. Laters. Adam

LOL I have to agree with you. I should have warned you to just view the bass player and forget about the nightmare around him. I was disappointed at this live performance. I have seen better shows. Mudvayne has been known to cancel shows frequently due to his voice going out. I guess it was on it’s way out. The recorded material on there release LD 50 is for somewhat easier listening. When he’s not screaming he sings pretty good. Anyway, I placed the link so bass player can view the bass player in action. LOL, when the guitar player comes in with his vocals I still find myself laughing out loud. The recorded material is good if you’re into heavy stuff. ( : LOL These guys may be borderline metal to you but they are moving up the food chain very fast. They are not even on a metal label. They’re on SONY. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> First let me state that I’ve played and listened to a ton of metal.
