Eugene from Jinjer has credited Ryan in multiple interviews as a source of inspiration. You can totally see and hear the similarities in their playing styles.
@@saadesigner07 *_Last band I saw live before Covid. Brought along friends who had never heard of them before, and they all bought T-shirts afterward. 😎_*
This man is a monster. Too bad he isn't performing that much with actual metal bands. Not saying that I don't like his jazz project, but metal needs him too.
The End of All Things to Come is a good album, intelligently pieced together and finely polished. but L.D.50 is just a whole different animal. With an emotional rawness that hits in the gut and keeps me coming back. It always leaves me floored and having to recover. The End just never did that for me.
I saw him live in 2001 here in Italy, i was in the front line, i waited for Slipknot. I didn’t know so much about Mudvayne. I was a few meters from Ryan and he kicks out my mind.. really a beast. After 19 years i still have LD50 in my car.
He and the drummer are the only reason to listen to Mudvayne, IMO. What a musical and inspired player he is! It sounded like he was playing an 8-string bass and he sounded awesome while he was at it, even with a bass off the wall he was unfamiliar with. Not to mention he comes off as so relaxed and friendly and low key even when making us want to burn the bass.
Music and ego are intertwined. When you find someone really humble, with a massive talent that requires zero ego to back it up, they're always a solid musician. Pure talent there. I see examples of this in all genres. This is a great example of that too.
Dude, he is such a bad ass and will always be. Love this dude's style, his attitude, perspective, and tonal mastery!! Hands down one of the most underrated bassists. Will never forget hearing L.D 50 for the first time and was thinking about playing bass but hadn't bought one yet. That was my junior year in high school ended up dating my now wife and it took another 3 years before I would buy one and the first thing I did was listen to this album for the next 3 months.
Ryan is an absolute beast on the bass. His work in Mudvayne is so incredible. LD 50 is one of the best metal records of all time and Ryan is a huge part of that.
Fell in love with him the first note of dig at a second stage concert at giant stadium in 2000 maybe. Just love him and met him while playing with soften the glare.
The one thing I have ALWAYS lovwd about this guy, isjhe constantly is plshing himself when he writes. I remember the EOATTC album had a dvd with it and showed their recordong process for "not falling" and he was struggling with his part because he wanted it perfect. Dude is just an incredible musician.
Lol! I love Ryan! Show scale, difficulty lvl 1, "ok, and next..." difficulty lvl 97 (out of 90) line from STG!. What a great player, man! (and the tone on that Thumb...jeez!)
He and Dr Grier are clearly kin and definitely 👽. I tried to nail his playing for a decade and I no longer play bass. 20+ years and yeah. Negative 1 is about all I can play by Ryknow. Damn gifted.
This guy is awesome. A monster of a player, with great technique(s) and he's a sweetheart in every video/interview. If I had 5% of his talent, I'd be a pro
Ryan another amazing bass player ( saw the Justin Chancellor video after this one :D ) , great and original technique and sound, you know is Ryan playing when you heard that sound. Great channel by the way!
Ryan gave me the inspiration to get back into bass after 10 years and buy a 5 stringer, that said I almost hate myself as he is so damn good that even getting half as competent is going to be years of hard work and frustration.
Really i have listened to almost all the bass players of this world....but he is on a next level ...there can be no next ryan martine...long live brr brr dang
The best bass player of all time, wish he would do more videos like this!!! Warwick should so sell audographed basses from Ryan, they would make a killing!
That shit he does at the end... Give me a fucking break, thats SICK! Dude never fails to impress! I'm so happy to have discovered his work with STG, mudvayne was never quite my thing even when I was into nu-metal.
