John Myung has never been seen without a bass. This had led to some speculation that the "bass" is fact a dead Siamese twin to which he has attached strings. Ultrasounds of his mother's womb seem to confirm this hypothesis.
I think there was a bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo in that bass solo.
Some may say that this is just playing as fast as you possibly can with no musical reason. To the uninspired ear it is. But to the musically intelligent it's a melodic bass solo icing on an awesome cake of progressive music.
Insanity, Myung is by far one of the best bassists ever. Even though nobody knows who is. And 23 people can't appreciate an amazing bassist or play a bass.
@DarkEternal250 Well that's why the internet is only for the smart people, by the way, John Myung is my favorite bass player and he has a huge reasons to be that, and Dream Theater soon will up from the ashes and will be awesome, or at less I hope that a lot.
@DarkEternal250 Maybe boring for you, for me, it's a hard stuff to recreate, and maybe he usually follows the guitar part, but Petrucci is a huge beast, really hard to follow, if Black Clouds bored you, well there are isolated tracks of each track, you'll hear that The Shattered Frortress, is one of the hartest and fastest bass that i've ever heard in my life.
@David666Mezei eh thats the same website that named joey jordenson the greatest drummer though... i dont trust that website. hes deffinatly my favorite bass player though
Bass is a fucking beast of an instrument when someone like this is playing it. Unfortunately I cant hear this one properly through my shitty headphones but all of myung's stuff is awesome.
@pulseof first off, fuck you, and you obviously don't know what a bass does to music, especially in metal and prog metal like what they play. with out it songs sound empty, and when you have a guy like john myung, it makes it sounds beautiful. itso facto, fuck you
@pulseof the bass guitar in the hands of someone like John and even Geddy Lee takes it to a whole new level beyond our comprehension and apparently yours...you cant have guitar without bass in a song it wouldnt sound at all right and vice versa...the bass is far from useless my ignorant friend
@SgtZaqq You are right. Few exceptions though, like "Killing Technology" or "Dimension Hatröss", by Voivod, you know 'em? Great brutal distorted bass. I love it, and I got a few basses, to be honest. Greatest things ever. Wanna become a bassist? Awesome
Can anyone tell what's the idea of comparing bassist's and guitarist's in here? Yeah, both can be solo instruments just as well, but I'm not really certain eighter of those instruments players would be able to exchange the instument and play the same and it to sound good.
@SciMasterGeneral hey it might not be to your liking but you have to admit they are a talented band each member it individually talented on so many levels
I think i agree with Risenwind, i mean JM is an amazingly good bass player but this solo was kinda poor and he probably didn't spend so much time on it, you only see him go up and down the notes with incredible speeded fingers. But at Panic attack it has been more engagement to it, then it also sounds so much better.
I love DT but i must say the sound is crap, articulation is poor. The notes are pointless. I dont like this solo it is simply lame. For example there is one cool melodic solo of JM in Trial of Tears at the end of the song :)
Billy Sheehan can suck on that!
