Me and a friend have been in a hard rock/metal band for 2 years now. Recently, a singer and bass player have joined our band. Even though we have been out for 2 years now, we have just started to get real. We have been working really hard and we are very serious about making it out there and touring the states and the world some day. If you would just take 3 seconds, go to facebook.com, search for "Perfect Formula", and click "Like", it would mean a lot to us. Thank you!
yo man, awesome! ive been self taught on bass for a couple weeks now (i might have a couple vids up lol). u had a cover of darkest nights from as i lay dying, did u take it down???
Don't take this in a bad or good way, its just an observation...But through my eyes, it looks like you play very sloppily, but it doesn't affect your sound at all, the sound is flawless... Good job, man, thumbs up
there is a mistake on the second riff of the song ( the one that is played by james at 0:48), cliff only hits the B on the A string, without the C and Db, but you are still awesome
ive been wondering.. listing to alot of bass and trying to pick it out in songs and stuff.. and my guitar pratice just aint been working lol to anyone who plays bass.. do you think maybe i should play bass instead? i seem to like it more, but i feel bad that my parents bought my a guitar tho lol
@TheAbcd1978 the same thing happened to me, i moved to bass, well just tell them that you want to play bass but you feel bad for em, they will understand it.
I think ill try one more style of learning guitar for a few months and see if i get much better ... if not i think ill learn bass.. and ill probably learn bass even if i do get better
@raghu2u1 I'm pretty sure u have heard this before but I will say it again: practice, practice, and practice again.
Do some speed exercises. (u can do them even while u are watching tv - thats what I do XD ) there are some vids on utube that talk about that and give u some good advices.

I'll be honest, you're a great bass player, but constantly removing your left hand from the bass gets annoying after a while. Makes you seem either ignorant or overconfident... You're great, though!
This song confuses the hell out of me. I nearly got it sussed but the thing that gets me is when you listen to the studio version you can clearly hear Cliff playing along with the guitars in the intro but even on the official bass tab it says the bass is silent. Anyone else noticed this?
@snozdog i kinda noticed it. i think its just the bass sound coming through from the the guitar. ive always wondered at this but i definately dont think that its bass there, just something weird coming in through from the guitar
Te la tiras de chingon y tocas bien culero loco, qe pasa con esa tectica de dedos talvez toques rapido o algo pero en las dos manos, tanto como izquierda o derecha tienes malas cosas qe hacen qe se vea cochino como le dicen, ponte a mejorar esas tecticas y deja de lucirte tanto qe no eras ni una cagada, y ya te crees la gran cagada
Mate I like how u play...but a question...when u do the slide from 3th to 5th fret (E) do you get a "brzzz brzz" on the string? Or is just my bass that need a setup?
I have a question. Why do some people play an open E to a 1st fret on the E string meanwhile others just play 2 open E's during the main riff? I've seen both ways and I'm just wondering if Cliff played both ways.
@Warlord313 its actually an open E to the first fret but some people are lazy or something because they dont do it or just dont have as developed an ear to hear it.
Why do people always hate on bass players using picks? sometimes it sounds better with them, example Cowboys from hell. u dont get the full sound outta that song if you play it with your fingers
@DominoDylan nop its the sound quality i have this album(Live Shit: Binge and Purge) its Puppets one one of the tracks on that album i think it is he shout all sort of words like that :P
@ProodeftikanosS dude how about instead of fuck picks fuck you (Y) thumbs up to that why has it got to be versus fingers its all done to player preference i prefer pick tone its just the way i am but if u dont thats fine but dont slag off over people cause u dont like picks thumbs up if u agree :)
