Bassists!

[yoru_kozi]

Toshiya's songs just show the beauty fo bass *dazzled from awesome-ness*
Listen to songs with heavy bass influence and BE INSPIRED!!!
It was the same problem with me...i just dont have the talent for guitar. SO I gave that up quick. Bass just come naturally for me, wierd. >.>


I'm listening to Megamasso right now acually, Bullet Song to be specific. I'm hooked. Any songs with a more definite bassline though? I'm really REALLY interested in this band. *goes investigating*

Well I was just listening to one of megamasso's mini albums, you should check out
tou wa kouyou suru.
and
yoru sakana kaze tsuarina.
The bass in those songs is really nice ^^
Argh, I would give up the guitar NOW if I could but my father is pressuring me to keep playing it v_v
I love it, but I think I love the bass more haha
That Natsuki is pretty ^^ His piercings are soo cool haha~

Lol I also just noticed that was the wrong Tetsu xD
I just glanced at the pic and saw the name tetsu under it and was like TETSU! wait.. a sec is that? OH WELL...TETSU!!!

This isn't J-pop or J-rock, but if you are into bass players
consider checking out Les Claypool of numerous US based
musical troupes or Victor Wooten of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones (he also
has solo projects).

Hey, thanks for the recommendation!

I was listening to Deadman - Follow the Night Light - this morning and the bassline in that is total love. I can't remember the name of Deadman's bassist, though... :sorry:

 

[MYV_ANCafe_Lover]

Oh yeah I've heard about Les and Victor. My dad listens to them all the time.
Victor Wooten's style of playing is amazing, he really knows how to work that thumb o.o

 

[yoru_kozi]

Deadman is awesome! I've ONLY heard about Les and Victor but I've never heard them so I can't give my opinion.

I got into bass thanks to an Irish band known as Thin Lizzy, their old, but the lead singer/bassist was the first man to inspire my love for bass

btw...what IS that mysterious blue container/carton box tara is holding??

 

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

i think it's his cell phone case thing XDD;; im not sure but it has an antenna
ohh i love Deadman!! their songs are awesome~

 

[Precious4e]

Yes I love Zero and Toshiya and Deadman (I think the bassist is Kazuya) has some great songs ^^

but how can we forget.....

J!!! (exLUNA SEA)

hahahaha I remember watching that clip of when Aki from SID met him....Aki was soo adorable..he kept bowing and was so shy...

and that leads me to Aki!

 

[yoru_kozi]

OOoh ^^ a very nice image of Aki!
I remember that clip very well, I was laughing so hard >.<
But he was very kawaii, ne?

yay someone else who likes Thin Lizzy! Their 'best of' album was the first cd album i ever owned (i'm old, okay? XD ).

 

[yoru_kozi]

thats so cool! YOU think your old...I feel like I was born in the wrong generation I try to talk to my friends from time to time about Phil Lynott and they just stare blankly at me...☝ pretty frustrating really, guess thats the price nowadays when you like classic rock....aagh...
ok....this threads needs more life....so I'll do this:
Name your top 5 favorite bassists and what band they're from (could be ANYONE...as long as they play bass)
ok, so I'll start
1. Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy
2. Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath
3 Cliff Burton from Metallica
4.Toshiya from Dir En Grey
5.Yuki from Malice Mizer
