how far is it coming along Steve?
will there be an awesome bass soloing on the new songs just like on Testament's live Dynamo 2000 gig?

OH man..please don't say that. That would completely bum me out. My fav band has my fav bass player in it and they're not gonna showcase him?? I love bass guitar solos and being able to hear the bass guitar jammin in the background! I think Rush does that killer! Love that band!!
(thinking out loud here
) Ramble on........
ah come on Steve... I'm sure lots of Testament fans would love to see u play like that.
Am I right ppl?

Unless I'm writing the songs, I play what is asked of me. They don't ask for the style you guys are talking about. That just sneaks out live when I got a good buzz on.
Don't worry there's other stuff out there that's along the lines of that crazy style, and there'll be more to come...somewhere.

i hope they turn your bass up on the new cd. its hard to even hear alot of the bass on the gathering.
So Eric and Steve Smyth mostly write the new Testament stuff, right?
Like in Suicide Shift and/or on the final Control Denied album?

Well then, Eric writes it. I guess lately Smyth has been helping with the riffs or arranging or whatever, but it's mainly Eric's vision. Then Chuck brings in his input to influence the song further possibly. But since Greg there hasn't been spots highlighting the bass lines.
And where to find the crazy wacked out basslines we were talking about before? Well the new Vintersorg has a decent offering, but then again they pretty much pertain to the other parts and the song's mood. The Control Denied will probably have some wiggin' bass lines too, Chuck always made room for the bass to get a little adventerous. Suicide Shift, nah...it's really straight ahead stuff. I'm really looking forward to the new Dark Hall stuff to satisfy the need to go off.
