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.
