ATTN: anyone from the 80's, 90's, or present day who think Venom couldn't play their instruments[views:6714][posts:95]___________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:20am - litacore ""] hahaha, you're ... well, um ... WRONG I've been trying to tab the solo to "Don't Burn the Witch" past midnight when I got back from practice. HA!--if they had no talent then YOU try and play that run from 2:45 to 2:50 goddammit, this is gonna take me a long time. Worth it. :whipper: |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:25am - Christraper ""] Mantas is a badass guitar player. Definitely a big influence on me. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:30am - paganmegan ""] Yup yup. I should note for note learn the solo for ripping corpse instead of improvising it.. How much did you pay for that tascam ? I should get me one of those, it would help alot in such endeavors |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:30am - Josh_Martin ""] Mantas was pretty damn good. Cronos however..... He was no Jaco. Fit Venom perfectly. Check out the total complete mess of a bass line in Acid Queen. Fucking awesome! I love Venom. |

Tascam CD-GT1 and Tascam PSPS5 Power Supply for CDGT1 (you have to get the power supply for $20 which is gay, but trust me you don't want to be running it on batteries, you'll be refilling it every couple of hours) |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:38am - Christraper ""] im pretty sure Mille went with the old "Play as fast as you possibly can and stay more or less in key" trick used time and time again by Slayer, Bathory, etc. Id be suprised if Mille even knew exactly what he played back in the studio. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:38am - paganmegan ""] alright.. I will check out e-bay... here's to the uber -brave |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:39am - armageddonday ""] If anybody think that they're not metal. |

Yeah, thats why I don't feel too bad about improvising (play fast and sticking mostly to a key) but still I don't want to half ass anything when it comes to music. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:42am - Christraper ""] Yea but early kreator were all about half-assing. DOnt get me wrong i fuckin love Kreator but they werent exactly "tight" back then. I find early destruction to be much better practice. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:43am - litacore ""] GERMAN THRASH FOREVER |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:44am - paganmegan ""] HELL YEAH |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:46am - litacore ""] pagan dude check out Persecution Mania, I burned it for you. That's some crazy-ass shit (Sodom--get it? ho ho ho) |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:47am - Christraper ""] Yea Sodom should have coined the phrase "Metal up your ass" |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:52am - paganmegan ""] The sodom CD code red came in the mail today I was listening to that, its cool but I like the older stuff better I think |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:53am - paganmegan ""] lars looks like a wee lassie in that picture |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:53am - litacore ""] such is the way things oftentimes |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:53am - Christraper ""] We were just listening to code red last night at practice |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:55am - litacore ""] I was listening to "Tentacles of Whorror", then the drummer audition put in Opeth quite a contrast! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:56am - paganmegan ""] sodom are one nasty band |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:58am - armageddonday ""] I'm going to put on Obsessed By Cruelty right now. I'd love to be able to play German Thrash...Destruction style. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 10:58am - paganmegan ""] that is a contrast , to say the least I like the first two opeth CDs, but even those kinda wear on me after while.. their prog fluffiness goes up my ass sideways |

The bass riff under the solo is written below.)" hahaha, take THAT Jon Bon Jovi! |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 11:09am - paganmegan ""] litacore when you figure out the solo, would you mind showing me how to play it? Just for the sake of knowing it |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 11:10am - Christraper ""] i could probably show it to you if you want |

Just for the sake of knowing it yes, you would be able to play it a lot better than I it'll take me some time though, I'm only sure up to about 2:47 |

I SAID GET OUT OF HERE, YOU!..." it's even better on [img] all you can hear is vocals and Cronos' bass going "WFEY8WAGN-WFEY8WAGN" totally out of sync with the other instruments. Downight TOMFOOLERY! |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 11:55am - litacore ""] haha, we gotta watch their concert videos from '84 and '85 Cronos hams it up for the camera |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 1:06pm - Christraper ""] When is Cronos not a ham? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 1:08pm - litacore ""] [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 1:57pm - Christraper ""] my point exactly |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 3:45pm - BestialOnslaught ""] Cronos was a good bassist! Just watch the '84/'85 Hammersmith vids! Nothing technically impressive, but tight, fluid bass lines that really helped provide a backbone for Mantas' riffing. I did hear that Mantas did the bass parts on the early studio shit, but I dunno how much truth there is to that. I think Abaddon was the only shitty musician in VENOM, but even so, he was pretty tight live; a lot of his playing just sounds awkward, but it wouldn't be VENOM without that! |

Nothing technically impressive, but tight, fluid bass lines that really helped provide a backbone for Mantas' riffing. I totally agree. Mantas would sound like shit if Cronos sucked. My band was a three piece for a long ass time and i wouldve been screwed if our bass player couldnt hack it. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 4:26pm - litacore ""] no, but it's post Mantas |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 4:30pm - Josh_Martin ""] Oh yeah, I got it mixed up with Blackened are the Priests |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2004 4:31pm - Josh_Martin ""] I still say that Acid Queen is the best bass playing ever recorded. |
