IN WHICH BASSISTS BLEW
So, to review the ways in bass players let us down this week:
- Coheed and Cambria’s Michael Todd robbed a pharmacy.
- Nick Oliveri from Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss held his girlfriend hostage in a four-hour standoff with a S.W.A.T. team.
- Jeroen Paul Thessling quit Obscura.
So that’s totally weak. Hopefully next week we can just go back to keyboard players being lame instead.
ANYWAY, here’s what else we did this week:
- We debuted new music by Gorod and Krum Bums.
- We got a look at the live rig used by Machine Head’s Phil Demmel, learned how to party from the dudes in Ringworm, and spoke to guitarist Ben Orum about the new All Shall Perish album, This is Where it Ends.
- We checked out Tombs’ Path of Totality.
- We presented a scientific model for how metal nerds choose which bands to like.
- We wondered, “Which member of Nevermore has a drinking problem?”
- We got all hot n’ bothered over this trailer for the new Mastodon album, The Hunter.
- We continued our Dave Grohl worship.
Next week we’ll be doing some more sick streams, have another “Rigged” column from a musician currently on the Mayhem Fest tour, have some more interviews with cool people, and do all the other usual shit we do that keeps you folks coming back week after week. ‘Til then…
