Technical, Progressive, Melodic, Death, Jazz, Power, Hardcore, Metalcore, METAL bassist seeking band.
Hello My name is Bobby L. Bryant(I am a 23 y/o, Six string bass player)and I am looking to join a band within the Phoenix area. I have several years of professional experience and have been playing bass around 13 years/singing for around 18 years. I have a very good reputation for my playing, singing, and stage performance. I believe I could be a great addition to any band that seeks a colorful, technical approach to bass playing. I work very well to create a solid foundation and groove with the drummer, as well as working very intricate and precisly with guitar lines and vocal lines to create texture and atmosphere. I am also a very competent and diverse singer or back vocalist and have no problem singing and playing. My vocal style range from Death/black/power/clean/opera/core. I have great equipment, stage presence, and team attitude. I do not smoke, I am not a drug user nor an alcoholic.
Influences include: Billy Sheehan, Sean Malone, Steve Digirgio, Lars K. Norberg, Victor Wooten, Jaco, Geezer Butler, Geddy Lee, Eddie Jackson, Mike Dean, Cliff Burton, David Elleson, Jason Newsted.....Killswitch Engage, Darkane, Nevermore, Posion The Well, Zao, Spiral Architect, Darkest Hour, The Crown, The Haunted, Megadeth, Testament, Witchery, Shadow's Fall, King Diamond, Fates Warning, Zerohour, Extol, Dan Swano, Opeth, Soilwork, Death, Cryptopsy, Dying Fetus, At The Gates.

Here is a short list of reviews on album that I played on, and bands I was in.
The bass guitar use in Summer Dying is the immortal fucking shining example of how to use a bass fucking guitar. Bobby Bryant-I don't know how one goes about playing a bass the way he does, but I have never seen one played so competently-by anyone! Infernal Dominion

I also want to draw attention to bassist Bobby Bryant, whose melodic sensibility and technical flair combine to create a sound that seduces just as easily as it intimidates. When you start hearing great things about this guy in the near future, just remember that you heard about him here first! Deluge Webzine

Tears of the Fallen is an eight-and-a-half minute track that begins with an out of control bass lick; the delivery is almost jazz-like.......The bass work on the track would make Steve Harris proud....Man this bass player is amazing... Live4Metal

I think the best bassist I've seen in person is Bobby Bryant of Summer Dying. That man is insane. He can do all the Spiral Architect style riffing and his basslines for SD are complex as fuck. Not to mention he knows how to steal the show live. Snake Net Metal Radio

Boredom is not an option as fills, changes and solos drop like the autumn leaves. Brave Words, Bloody Knuckles

Bassist Bob Bryant (this guy is a very fluid and colorful bass player that brings a lot to their sound). Worm Gear

Special mention needs to be given to bass player Bobby Bryant. His bass guitar playing is nimble and provides solid rhythmic foundation, while soloing as well most guitarist. Metal Reviews

The Bass playing on this album goes way above and beyond the call of duty here. Throat Culture

I think the 10 top bassist in metal would be BOBBY BRYANT-SUMMER DYING, Lars K. Norberg-Spiral Architect, Troy Tempton-Zerohour, Steve Digirgio-Sadus/Death/Testament, Jason Netherton-Dying Fetus, Steve Harris-Iron Maiden, Doug Keyser-Watchtower, Sean Malone-Cynic, John Myung-Dream Theater, Eric Langlois-Cryptosy. Snake Net Metal Radio

Also worthy of mention is bassist Bobby Bryant, who plays bass with the intensity and skill of a lead guitarist Metal-Rules.com

The bass player does some insane fret work AND does screams. Seeds of Evil

Simple but well written bass lines, which compliment the guitar work nicely. As well as very technical stand alone bass solos and fills. Metal Judgment

Cool to know of a talented bassist in AZ. My friend, Matt, and I, are getting some stuff started. We have a lot written, it's all bad ass. Influences are bands such as Soilwork, At The Gates, Darkest Hour, Nightrage, Evergrey, Enter My Silence, Skyfire, ETOS...and many more. Hard to put a figner on it, but it will change the world. I am looking for my Tomas Lindberg to join the band!
Not hard to contact either of us, we both work at GC ;)
 
Dude, you were in Summer Dying? Right on! I was supposed to do something for them, and stuff fell through. I was stoked to hear the band. Now, you should have ZERO problem lining up a great group of guys to unite with.

Good luck. If finding another band isn't happening, start your own. You're too talented to not be working. :)
 
Yeah, I'm out in Phoenix now. I have some family out here and thought that maybe I could hook up with some musicians out here. I haven't had much luck yet, but i haven't been here too long. I can't wait to get back into playing though. Its killing me not being in a band..lol.
 
We draw influence from everywhere man. I just want to try out all types of people. I don't know how the final product will sound, but I can promise it will be quality work. Matt(other guitarist) and myself both use Caparison guitars, or a few Ibanez. He uses Mesa Triaxis/Strategy 500/Mesa Cabs and I am currently using POD Pro, Digitech 2101, Mesa 50/50 and Marshall cabs. I selling it all for a simple Peavey 5150 and a Mesa cab. We had a great drummer, who sadly left..Matt says he might have someone lined up. Right now it's all just coming together. Matt and Myself write some intense/melodic/epic/technical/beautiful/fast/slow/heavy/depressing/upbeat/you name it music.

If anybody knows anybody who's serious about starting a death metal bands in the New Orleans area just let me know mmmkay....
 
I have nothing of any substance to add to this thread, I just think it wold be funny to ise all those influences in one band.


"So what kinda music are you guys?"

Welllll, We're a Technical/Prog/Death/Black/Hard/metal/core band."

"I have no idea what you just said to me."

Triaxis I hear blows line 6 out of the way. Expensive amp though, they dont even carry it at guitar centers.

Triaxis; we get em at the shop every now and then. Yes, the Triaxis does blow away the POD Pro, but it gets me good tones when I have it powered by a tube poweramp.
 
Hey Caparison, Sounds cool. I would like to jam sometime or something....I have a slight problem right now. As In I was informed a few days ago that my rackcase(Bass POD PRO, Alesis Quadraverb, Audio Technica Wireless, Sabine Tuner, and Carvin Dcm1000) was stolen. I'm not very happy about that, so I'm going to have to buy a bunch of shit over...blah...

Oh yeah and plfffffft check out Summer Dying because they have all those influneces in thier music.
