I'm about halfway through Doomsday, bass playing is good but nothing too spectacular. I will stop calling Newstead a shitty bassist though.

Let's just say, top 5 material, although I'd be interested to hear the views of others who've heard it. :Smug: 'could' or 'could not'?

Track 6 around the 5 minute mark, Newstead is doing some pretty kickass shredding shiz. I'm impressed now.

Listening to No More Fun from When The Storm Comes Down... what a freaky funk bassline!JayKeeley said:My nigga.
Yeah, but Troy Gregory really shines on Prong's "Prove You Wrong". One of those talented players that people ultimately forget because they weren't around very long.
Anyone who has listened to the songs "Doomsday for the Deceiver" and "Metalshock" and still claims that Ellefson is better than Newsted needs to get some fucking Q-tips to clear the wax out of their ears. Neither one has done anything interesting in a long time, so all you have to compare is when they were in their prime.
Newsted>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ellefson, and I like Ellefson.

Listening to Doomsday just once I can tell Newstead had stronger chops than Ellefson ever did, but that's not a bassist's number one priority, especially in metal. Rust in Peace contains my favorite metal basswork ever, not because it's the flashiest or most pronounced playing, rather because that mufucker Ellefson was just plain SOLID.
well, NAD, I disagree. Frankly, I think metal needs to utilize their bassists a LOT more. Go listen to Thought Industry "Songs For Insects". Mmmmmm, bass chops.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
There is no question that metal has the most amount of useless bassists, and I do enjoy chops, but it's not the only thing I look for in a good bassist. I need Thought Industry dammit, they've been on my list for 7 years and I've yet to hear a note out of them.

cheating the polygraph
I only have two vastly different albums from them so far (the hyper-energetic Mods Carve The Pig and the more melodic and brooding Short Wave on a Cold Day), but both are highly recommended.
No two Thought Industry releases sound the same; you can barely tell they're the same band. Well, Outerspace is a Martini Away and Shortwave on a Cold Day are somewhat similar, but the other 3 sound nothing like those. I'm pretty sure I did a thorough write-up on Librarius Metallicus about them, for those curious about them. If I didn't, mock me harshly and I'll go redo it.
They are among my favorites and I hear they're working on their next masterpiece currently.

Papa Josh - the king of thread bumping.
Actually, whoever bumped the "Welcome to Royal Carnage" thread probably wins that award.

By the way, came across an interesteing Flotsam and Jetsam discussion on the Neil Kernon board. He was very candid.
