Alright, you got me out of my comfy bed to grab my headphones :)

I don’t really listen to metal, but am always impressed with the talent I see when I do. Cool outro; thanks for sharing.
Here’s one in the complete opposite direction: Diamonds on the Souls of Her Shoes (Alternate Version) from Graceland by Paul Simon’s. The song is just fretless bass and vocals. The rendition is simple and absolutely gorgeous. Bakithi Kumalo is the bassist on the album and he is incredible throughout. Give ‘You Can Call Me Al’ a listen if you want to hear him do some mind bending shit.
The Graceland album brings me right back to my childhood every time I hear it… and it is the origin of my love for the sound of fretless bass.
thanks for sharing something I wouldn't have considered before; while pop music finds its audience by being prolific and well advertised, it usually gets passed over by people like me due to its overexposure. *
I quite enjoyed the bassline in the Diamonds song when it kicked in. Thanks for sharing it with us.
* Kinda like the time I was in a pub with my friends and I got amazed by this awesome funk throwback song. "Wow, what's this" "Have you seriously never heard Amy Winehouse?"
Hahaha
I hear you on pop music. I haven’t listened to radio by choice for 30ish years for the same reason.
OMFG I love this album! Some of the best fretless work next to Pino Paladino that I’ve ever heard!
