IMV Trailer: Mike Inez, bassist for Alice In Chains

[thisischavez]

That is a beautiful tone he has. I'm surprised at his choice of strings. He's definitely a solid member of AIC.

[tgumbyw]

Definitely with the program, full of love for music, his profession, and seems genuinely greatful to have had the opportunities he's been blessed with. Too bad Mike Starr and Layne Staley didn't feel the same. Such a waste of talent.

[IbanezJFS]

So is there any new DVDs coming?

[W78516]

Mike is such a nice dude. Good vid to.

[expliotedhawk]

YOU GUYS SHOULD GET SEAN BEASLEY FROM DYING FETUS TO DO A DVD!

[zednoraa]

@musichead when I've seen live vids with layne staley like man in the box, he uses his fingers, but i dunno bout others man

[MusicHEAD8369]

@dante4d Ok thanks! Can't wait 4 Alice In Chains 2 make another new album and R.I.P Layne Staley!

[MusicHEAD8369]

Does Mike use his fingers too? Cos most of the Alice In Chains songs I see he uses picks.....

[dante4d]

@MusicHEAD8369 I've seen him use fingers on most of Ozzy's live stuff...

[GothRocker7]

I LOVE this DVD!!!!! Mike Inez is a great teacher and tells a lot of cool stories. If play Bass guitar or even if you are into Alice In Chains get this DVD. It is worth every penny. I met Mike and he is such a cool musician.

[ptierney85]

Mike is such a real and down to earth person, there is no hint of an ego at all, and thats really rare to see in the music business these days, especially coming from such a huge band like AIC.  I wish everyone in professional music was like this! Way to many heros turn out to be assholes!

[ChalicoKiks008]

By the way which bass is that?

[littlewillywinkie]

@ChalicoKiks008 I think that is a Warwick Streamer Stage 1

[ChalicoKiks008]

A little bitter?! That is what was sounding out there

[Andante931]

Hey Mike, I bought your shoes in Big Bear, haha, good to see you here

[klined]

Mike Inez is the truth

[KoRnFlakes96]

omg hes always laughing xd

[nookie420]

one of my favorite bass tones there is!

[Totalmachine09]

He seems so nice and genuine

[mattfoley59]

absolutely. I saw AiC not too long ago and he was smiling the whole show-just having fun.

[therealbatty4life]

thats a good bass line

[bon3z0r]

wanna such a thing with Jerry Cantrell explaining songs, cuz a lot of tabs are just shit ;) didn't find a correct tab to rain when i die at all, had to figure it out by myself ;E

[rubberritchie]

Great video! It's great to see a bassist playing groove and not the bass olympics of some famous players. Great bass player! Does anyone know what kind of Warwick that is? Thanks for posting : )

[CascadedDemise]

That is a Warrick Streamer Stage 1. It's based off a Spector model. Both Spector and Warricks are great basses.

[DeftonedKornKid]

Ah Raiders Fan, loL.

You can Tell From The

Head oF La bass!

buT Yeah, He Has A Killer bass!

[HunRob88]

one of my favorite bassist,his awsome!

i like his melodic style, and Alice In Chains too!

[ManlySlut]

His melodic bass style is so cool, and is so in sync with the melodic guitars of AIC.

Just awesome.

[nenshoukun]

yeah, all those bassists at the end were great and all, but they didn't write would and rotten apple bass lines

[ecwmatt]

lol mike inez didnt write would's bass line.

[nenshoukun]

err, swing on this and rotten apple. thats what i meant.

[ecwmatt]

either way mike inez kicks ass :P

[skateboardlover22]

Also nutshell witch is a great bass line throughout the whole song

[Biff947]

The bassists are underrated!

[antiflx]

you're goddamn right

[Gamagachee]

Mike Inez is one of my fave bass guitarists.

[InezIMV]

I picked up a copy of this BEHIND THE PLAYER dvd with Inez definitely recommend it to any fans out there

[Marcelis]

love the "A Little Bitter" in the background

[Jekabson2]

Great bass, in my oppinion, best of BEHINDthePLAYER.

[rockergyi]

he seems so sweet and he is also a great player.....

[BEHINDthePLAYER]

get this DVD!!! there's a 30 minute lesson as well as a jam session with special guest, John Tempesta!!! check it out!!!

[writteninstoneband]

His gear is da shit! the warwicks are thusands of $'s and are THE PRESTIGE of all! I agree with Inez, Dunlop makes great picks and strings for basses. I know this cuz i play 4 and 5 string bass for a garage band. I play the Ibanez BTB305FM and The Ibanez GSR200 with dunlop strings and picks

[kps142]

that GSR 200 is a pretty good bass for the price, i used to own that and the GSR 190, right now i have a dean edge and i think it might be a little better than the GSR's

[HyphyG123]

@writteninstoneband He doesn't use Dunlop strings, he uses Dean Markley's.

[WalClaypool]

and i forgot to say, Inez has good taste in gear. like REALLY good taste in gear

[germicidalcheese]

seems like a nice dude

[mwright165]

na i hate slipknot but their bassist is good for metal but not better than mike for all round stuff

[WalClaypool]

pfft. slipknot has a terrible bassist. but Blasko probably has the best picking technique in metal.

[mwright165]

i would think that rex brown has the best pick technique

[Arcadia1810]

What an honor it was to be able to shoot the stills for Mike Inez IMV shoot.  Mike is charming and so humble. Thanks for the memories Mike.

[DarekHB]

What happened to Mike Starr?

[Aliceinchainhead]

WOOOOOOOW Mike is just soo fucking awesome I love this dude for life man...Hahaha Thats A little bitter theyre playing awesome!

[therag]

sick job mike! i love alice in chains!

[vonjungingen]

I like growl of his bass...
