(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth

Battery, metal bassists don't do solos like this anymore, because since '91 (with the exception of Metallica, Maiden, and the other old metal acts that are still around) Metal has been reduced to it's own stereotype: A bunch of high school drop outs who play the same four chords over and over as fast as they can, while the vocalist shouts in the mike. The only difference is there's no solos. In other words, post-Black album, Metal has sucked. There are only a few bassists out there that actually remember that solos are possible on bass, and none of them are really main-stream. People say they don't like load and ReLoad because of the changed sound, but really, they had been brainwashed by the crap that was spewed out by some untalented musicians who claim they could kick 'Tallica's ass in a live show, but never took the challenge when the 'Tallica boys said "bring it on".
