whats your oppinion of him james?

He's a very nice guy and I have always loved Carcass. Listening to "Heartwork" right now.

His rhythm parts are creative and his solos are melodic, so what more can you ask? As I said already he is a nice guy, a bit quiet but there is nothing wrong with that! He loaned me his Marshall cab when I was in England recording the first Disincarnate album and I used it for the whole thing. Thanks again Bill!

have you ever considered getting in contact with bill and working with him again?

 

[Sadistik]

I think Bill is great, and really made carcass a better band. I mean DTI just rips, as does heartwork. before that, Carcass was fun, but way to sludgey and grind-y for me....

Well, I never really worked with Bill Steer before, he just loaned me his guitar cab so that I could record "Dreams of the Carrion Kind". In fact, I think we paid him a rental fee, just as a courtesy. I'm sure he would have loaned it anyway. I would definitely work with him if the oppurtunity arose, and I was well enough to do that much (considering that I'm trying to write a new Disincarnate CD at the moment). I'm lucky to be able to play right now! Thanks for asking though.

[TestamentNut]

james the funny thing is can you imagine the rumors that will start about the "Legendary marshall cab" you used on disincarnate. hahha

 

[hornblow555]

Is Bill Steer even involved in the metal scene anymore? I have heard his 2 Firebird albums, and they're not heavy metal, more stoner rockish.

 

[Professor Chaos]

I just heard "Necroticism" for the first time last week and it kicks ass!

 

[TestamentNut]

bill use to play sabres that had .13 gauge strings that were tuned to C#. played marshall amps and cabs, and also started all melodic death metal.

 

[inflamer]

Yeah...carcass really rules...and its nice to see that james listens to my fav band In Flames

 

[TestamentNut]

firebird is just an extension of bills playing. its just like james when he stared playing stuff other then death metal. thats why people listen to so much stuff, you can't lock yourself into one style. its limiting. i mean i for one never thought i would listen to anything other the death metal. now i listen to all sorts of music. too many styles to list. but just watch my now playing and you will see some of the stuff i listen too. hhaha

Yeah diversity is a step towards the divine awareness of what makes up music. I know as a crappy musician, listening to a wide array of genres of music or just simple soundscapes, can help you better understand and learn of countless tones. it can help your playing out too. We have this cable television add-on tier where I live that has about 45 channels (not videos) of just music. all kinds. alot of it is terrible stuff, but even the ones I don't listen to regularly, I can sometimes find a element of what I do like in it. The past year http://www.echoes.org 's radio music program has been amazing to hear and it's a new gem and highly suggested...especially for couples :}


there...
