Metal rarely leaves much room for bass parts that separate from the riffs or go off and do their own thing. We get glimpses here and there.

This is true, but what if the third note is not rung out too an 8th and is cut off at a 16th and rest a sixteenth ?

Then that would be three sixteenths and a sixteenth rest.

Again, triplets are even. If you were to play, say, 8th triplets for a whole bar you'd be playing 12 notes in the time it takes to play 8 8th notes and they would be evenly spaced apart.

For the bass player part I think that's because of the lack creativity in metal bass playing more than skill.

Right, that's what I'm saying. Very few bassists really do anything interesting, which results in the ones who do so being idolized.

no, I get that. I get why you don't really like him, I suppose. But imo he kicks ass.

Damn man, I didnt say I didnt like him, the guy was so instrumental in the development of metal and a great song writer. I just said I never understood how some felt he was a standout when it comes to the bass. Then later upon better observation I said I understood.
