Laid to Rest (Bass and Drums only) - Lamb Of God

[metallicafukyeah90]

Just so all people arguing out there understand this. Yes John does copy the guitar which is the role of a lead bassist. If he was just a bassist he would just follow along with drum kicks and the root notes of the guitar.

[bababugohain]

john campbell is one of the successful metal bassis.no more talks let him copy he is on tour not us babe

[bababugohain]

best song !

[YouNoob93]

Did you make this from guitar hero?

[TheFinalDude]

@YouNoob93 well i got both tracks from other people around the internet, i suppose they got them from guitar hero

[Direksone]

Obvious morons are obvious. People clearly have no clue what a bassplayers' role is in the band. "he copies the guitar" or "hes lazy". Hes a fucking badass bassplayer, better than most out there and he does an outstanding job in LOG. He does exactly what is needed: playing along with the guitar. Morons.

[NavySealWannabe67]

@Direksone Excally! The bass player is suppose to make the guitar heavier

[sharinganchidori100]

how the fuk is he lazy??? FUCK YOU THEN!

[MetalMattSnyder]

What do you expect him to do?! You really can't venture out extremely far off of the root with this kind of music. All he could really do to expand his technique is, expand his use of chord voicings, and use octaves. But, this guy is old. He's a very good bassist at what he does. Chris and John make a VERY good rhythm section in my book.

nice



[bassmasterp87]

love this song

[princekushiro]

lamb of god is the only band that worth us to rip out the bass and drum part~

[kimimaro9876]

@princekushiro Cannibal Corpse!!

[TheFinalDude]

@kimimaro9876 i think there are not bass/drums rips of cc =( i would be so epic!

[fyerfyer1]

ok campbell is a great bassist but the problem is he is lazy , he follows the guitar thats why u can hear him playing ..

but if u listen to bands like RHCP where u can hear the bass very clearly just like the guitar

good job tho

[TheFinalDude]

@fyerfyer1 at least hes not like all those 000000010000000010000001 metal bassists out there. i am lazy too when creating the bass lines. sometimes you just dont feel inspired :)

[fyerfyer1]

@TheFinalDude lol listen to flea and u will be inspired ..

[TheFinalDude]

@fyerfyer1 or maybe some jaco pastorius or victor wooten :P

[Bludhoundz8]

@TheFinalDude Well.. he is lazy.. he just steals whatever the guitars are playing and plays that. I would respect him a whole lot more if he could actually write his own bass lines to go with it, i mean, he's got the skill to do so, just listen to the man play XD, but yeah..

[AndersonWave17]

@Bludhoundz8 I would say this is actually slightly different than what the guitar riff is (subtly). But i see what yer sayin.

[Bludhoundz8]

@AndersonWave17 Ya, I actually take that last bit back. It takes a ton of skill to be able to transfer guitar riffs to an instrument with only 3 strings (he never uses the 4th, and rarely the 3rd) and much wider fret spacing and such.. so never mind what i said, i think it works just fine.

[AndersonWave17]

@Bludhoundz8 i know right? I mean im a bassist and i cant think of a better way to play with this song other than copying it, right?

[Direksone]

@AndersonWave17 Exactly. Theres nothing more that he can do with a song like this, playing the root notes alone would make it sound boring and not nearly as good as it is now as he accentuates the melody which, as schwarg said, reinforces it and makes it 10x better.

[8BallBass]

@fyerfyer1 The only thing with other bass playes like flea and wooten....is the diffrent styles, Its a hell of a lot harder to play something seprete and unique in metal then it is in things like funk

[Nufu7861]

@fyerfyer1 I'm a bass player, but have you ever thought to realize a bassist can write a riff, but the guitarist will get the credit for it? maybe he wrote the bassline, and the guitars are following HIM. lol Idk if that's the case for Lamb of God, but there's bands out there ex:cannibal corpse, where that happens a lot. lol alex webster is awesome, but this track is awesome.

[fyerfyer1]

@Nufu7861 meh am a bassist too and i think this is true dang ...

[koml3uch4]

@Nufu7861 i thought webster did get the credit. doesn't he write like the majority of their shit and is the only original member?

[Nufu7861]

@koml3uch4 Alex webster does get a lot of the credit, their drummer is original too I believe, but I was just saying in general, a lot of people are like "ooh the bassist is just following the guitars," when in reality, if the bassist wrote the riff, the guitars would be following them. I'm just saying that when people think they're just following guitars, they should look at the flip side of it lol.

[Direksone]

@Nufu7861 Let's not forget mr. Steve Harris. He writes/wrote a LOT of the music for Iron Maiden. 'Following the guitar' as if that is a bad thing, if he'd be doing other things it would be one big mess. Most metal bassplayers have really boring parts, just doing the root notes, John follows the guitar which fills it all up, it sounds great. Most bassplayers cant even follow the guitar. Mr 'fyerfyer1' is clueless.

[Konigsteiger]

@fyerfyer1 Don't forget Rage Against the Machine. Timmy knocks out bass lines that are ALWAYS able to be heard throughout the song.

[celica49]

@fyerfyer1 Thats because flea is a huge part of that band. For a bassist to try and overshadow Willie Adler and mark morton is a huge huge stretch. Thats why Iron maiden was kind of an oddball band as well. it takes a insane bassist to be noticed over even a decent guitarist...

[fyerfyer1]

@celica49 true true ..

[marko92pn]

@fyerfyer1 dude , you can't compare RHCP and LOG... omfg...-.-'

[cameronj279]

@fyerfyer1 sometimes the song wouldn't sound as good if you didn't follow the guitars. Campbell could easily get away with just playing root notes, but instead he fully accents the guitars, and does an amazing job at it in my opinion! :)

[fyerfyer1]

@cameronj279 alright i give up ..

[schwarg]

@fyerfyer1 Maybe he was trying to do that. When you do that sort of thing it reinforces the main melody line giving it a much greater sense of heaviness. And for a metal band like LoG, that can't be a bad thing.

[LaughLotsVideos]

@fyerfyer1 just putting this out there but Flea from the chilli peppers obviously has to create his own bass line because he has to give the song flow, Flea makes the majority of the songs and he plays a bassline to make it easy for there old guitarist to play along with and make up his own stuff, LoG im not entirely sure but im almost 100% sure that Campbell almost never makes any of the songs but i will agree he just copys a lot lol

[VirtageBass]

@LaughLotsVideos Shut up you pestilent ignoramus.

[LaughLotsVideos]

@VirtageBass good argument !
