For those of you who were at the Obscura concert in Baltimore a few months ago, you might've noticed something attached to my headstock when we came out and played the encore... After we got settled into the flow of the tour, I thought it would be a cool idea to film a live playthrough video, especially since we had a killer videographer with a bunch of cameras, a sick light show AND an even sicker venue to boot.
Septuagint, I thought, was also a great tune to pick for this because of how dramatic and dynamic it is and because of how much of a lead role the bass plays in it. Besides all that, it was one that I just really looked forward to playing every night since it's so much fun to play. Super stoked with how this turned out! There are obviously no do-overs live so I only had one shot hahah...

It’s a rule that if your first name is Alex and the your last name starts with Web that you are going to be a bassist.

for real I first read "Alex Webster - Obscura" and went nuts for some seconds, then I realize it was Alex Weber and this popped up because I am suscribe to him, he is awesome also so its all good

@docinho3206 Год назад

Lol why does this apply to the bassist I'm in a band with, too. I was confused for a second and thought it was him

@keysersoze9511 Год назад

@@notmiscares3918 Alex Webster is a legend, but i doubt that he is able to play Obscura stuff

@notmiscares3918 Год назад

@@keysersoze9511 I think he defenitly can, I mean, I dont know if he plays fretless bass but in an freted bass he absolutly can in my opinion, Cannibal Corpse basslines are insane too, three finger tecnique at high bpm's, chords, fast lines, ive listened to both bands full discography and I think Jeroen Paul Thesseling and Alex Webster could play each other parts, Linus Klausenitzer too.

Ohhhhhhh! When I saw Obscura in Oakland, I was a little confused that Jeroen and David weren't performing. But, y'all totally held it down so I still had a great time. I wish I had known I was watching the dude from Exist!

I'm subscribing you for a long time but today is the day I learned that you joined Obscura. It would be nice to see you in a playthrough of "Diluvium" since the one by Linus is gone.

I’m technically not in Obscura, I just played with them on their most recent US tour because Jeroen couldn’t make it. I love that song and have thought about doing a video for that for a long time so we’ll see

@@Killenmachine05 I personally couldnt imagine that pressure, but I'm sure years of experience playing in a band like Exist would make the transition quite easier.

@AlexWeberBass 2 года назад

I had basically a month. Steffen hit me up right after Christmas and I flew out to the first gig on Jan 31st. It was a grind to get all that stuff together but at least I had the isolated bass tracks to transcribe instead of having to just pull everything from the final recordings

@justynfogarty6209 2 года назад

Hey, Alex. I know you have quite a bit of luthier experience and judging by the look of this bass, you most likely made it yourself. Could you go into any specifics? Like, when did you make it, how long it took, and string gauge? I’m very curious :)

@@ericpalkovich Jeroen was the only one to play a 7 string. He had a string lower than me which was tuned to E. I'm not a huge fan of that since you can't really hear the fundamental pitch anymore, especially since it's fretless.

Please Obscura BE MORE MUSICAL. YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO BE A EPIC BAND! TAME YOUR EGO! Saw them live and honestly i almost fell asleep. Great technic, Great tones and their album mixes are perfect. I love the clean parts , the bass lines and the alien clean vocals but overall, the music gets boring by the end of the 3rd song. Over the years i come back to Obscura to listen 2 or 3 songs and then im done for some months. Bands like Atheist, Cynic, Necrophagist, Car Bomb,Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad,Cannibal Corpse, Animals as Leaders, Suffocation,Coroner.. never get boring because i feel they put they musicality first. Speed and technic come along naturally. You finish to listen a song from these last bands i mention and you immediately sing some part. It prints in your brain. Just my opinion, go ahead nail me to the cross.

@j.pabloquinche3283 6 месяцев назад

Necrophagist musicality? Lmaooo

@MrMrmody1996 Год назад

You should give the songs the respect they need.. The writers worked hard to create that exact bassline and u butchered songs like akroasis and the anticosmic overload.. You're not mimicking the feelings of the original writers which just shows how narcissist you are👎.. Steffan has the right to be that narcissist.. But u don't.. Until you write your own hit.
