First Fragment is like a band with 24 brains

@oliveirawski Год назад

trying to process all these notes! Amazing!

@MaskedRiderChris Год назад

I remember reading the comments on another video (a Sepultura song, I think) and metal stans began going on about "THE BASS IS ONLY TO ANCHOR THE SONG, NO MORE NO LESS," and one guy cracked wise about how "God forbid fretless bass should ever be played in metal." Forest would make their heads asplode. This is how metal stays fresh and exciting, by bringing in new ideas and concepts from everywhere. The stans can keep listening to the same old same old while I will seek new sounds and see if I like them or not.

Except fretless bass isn't new in metal music at all, just not utilized as much.

@radubadea9592 13 дней назад

@@Crodon I agree, let's not forget Steve DiGiorgio who played fretless bass on a number of Death albums

@mrdeathamore Год назад

Absolutely stunning song. As someone who is listening to tech death 20 years already, this song is a stellar example of amazing balance between tech elements and musicianship. I know a lot of people praising In'el but this song is even more impressive on so many levels.

@fradiangue2793 Год назад

I've seen many bassist, but none of them are as perfectionists and virtuous as this guy. This level of composition is out of reach for the majority of us. Witness evolution of human species at its finest

@CaptBlasi Год назад

The best Tech/Prog Death Metal bass player of all time. Everything he touches become gold. It happened with early Beyond Creation & Augury albums and now with First Fragment incredible sophomore album. Terrific.

@JM.COSMIC Год назад

It's done, Dominic is the absolute best bass metal player in history period, some may say Steve Digiorgio, Cliff Burton, Jeroen Paul Thesseling, etc And I know music is not a competition but man Dom is above any other. I just hope someday meet him and thank him for inspiring me and so many other musicians. Go Forest go!

@cosmicpanda7043 Год назад

HOW DO PEOPLE DO THAT!? No matter what I do I can never get it that clean

@nachfullbarertrank5230 Год назад

@@cosmicpanda7043 I'm guessing you are a fretless? If not, the frets will mute the harmonic when you do the slide. Keeping the fretting finger straight/perpendicular to the string also helps. You could also try to remember the exact locations of the harmonic depending on the fret number, but that is a bunch of work

@cosmicpanda7043 Год назад

@@nachfullbarertrank5230 Is it a fretless only technique then? I swear I've seen Wooten do it on his fretted Fodera, but if that is the case then I'll have to move a fretless bass higher up on my shopping list
