Do I really, really have to like this?  ??? You can barely hear it and what you hear doesn't really have a note or tone to it. He could be banging on a garbage can, maybe Slipknot have a job for him if he gets himself a mask. (This with all due respect to Paul Gray who wasn't a one string moron.)

Overend Watts is on record that bass playing doesn't do anything for him anymore (he plays guitar now), he only restrapped the bass for those MtH reunions, I guess that shows.  :-\

Devolution is no cause for celebration.  :-X

Reminds me of a jackhammer operating in a trash can.

The "why" question occurs to me.

Why would anybody resign himself to be the (low) B or E string of a guitarist? What a sorry existence.

Those necks are way too wide.  With all that available real estate they should be selling advertising or something.

The slap bass solo by the guy with the Jazz I actually like! That is at least music.
