I have been listening to the headlining bands to the 2nd Annual Bay Area Trash Fest that I'm attending in two weeks, and all bands have super hot bass players. Testament, Death Angel, and Sadus. Compared to other acclaimed thrash bands (ie: Metallica), the other bands have boring basslines.

To further support my case:

Testament - Riding The Snake :love:
Death Angel - Discontinued
Sadus - Words Of Wisdom (So awesome how closely the bassist follows the guitar riffs. Also get Aggression, asphyxy mentioned that one before I think)

I can't wait for the 27th. It is going to be so ****ing sick. :mad: \m/

note: these aren't growly bands, so don't ask, 'nunder :p

They're back together and writing new shit, so that is good times. They're going to tear shit up at the show. It's amazing what a couple of 14 year olds could do. :love:

Testament is the shit.

Not to indirectly disrespect Testament, but the best description I can give to someone hearing them for the first time is "this what Metallica would sound like with talent".

Slash's Snakepit did a song called serial killer, which i think is the only post-gnr slash song i like.

But ill check out this serial killer.
