PRESS RELEASE September 22, 2009
Inquiring Monster Wants To Know Your Stand
Seems a controversy has been stirring among Bass Player Magazine subscribers with Monster of JUGULUR right in the middle of it. Monster appears in ads for Seymour Duncan/ Basslines Blackouts in the June, July, September and October issues or Bass Player magazine.
In the August 2009 issue of Bass Player Magazine, a 71-yr old subscriber wrote his first letter to the editor. In it, he down-graded current bassists interviewed or shown in the magazine. He said that Adam Nitti shown with a 6-string bass in the June issue was demeaning the bass, that Toby Lemans comment about his bass sounding like a pitched kick drum was ridiculous. Lastly, Mr. Lopez focused on Monsters Seymour Duncan ad. Going after Monster for being ugly, playing a 5-string bass (Monster is pictured in the ad with a 4-String bass) and being the antithesis of what is wrong with music today. Having admittedly never heard JUGULUR Mr. Lopez assumed that the band just had to produce music that wasnt melodic and harmonious. Monster actually plays 4-String bass and 12-String basses. He is known for his melodic and unusual sounds that he produces on bass as well as his traditional playing.
By the October 2009 issue of Bass Player Magazine, the response mail had hit the editor with readers discussing what constitutes good bass playing, Monster and more. Ah, controversy! Give me a good one and I am so there! says Monster.
So check it out, let Monster know at www.myspace.com/Jugulurmusic what you think. JUGULUR is currently on tour. Monster currently appears in rotating photos on the Seymour Duncan website at www.seymourduncan.com with Dino Cazares, Dave Mustaine, Mich Thomson, and Slash. We think Monster must be doing something right on the bass dear Mr. Lopez
