When I'll get old I'll probably regret wasting 30 seconds of my life reading this

I'm still drunk and I agree, also for bas try making it sound farty it cuts through better in the mix
The fartier the more low end you think you here when everything else is on.
To make guitars sound huge you need to make the strings sound skinny.
Also using your mouth to make a beat box type kick drum and sampling it makes for a great metal kick (with the right eq of course)

That truly is an awesome technique.. That way, when the listener hi-passes the kick and snare, he / she can totally get the awesome bass sound you were going for.
Wait, what..?

really? No one understands this?
You are low passing to find what cutoff frequencies the bass and guitars mesh the best at. The point of low passing is so you aren't distracted by listening to everything say above 500hz which is distracting you from listening to the low end of the guitars. That's it.

Yeah I can totally see the concept of this, move some filters around on the master to just focus on a particular frequency range. Like how NS10's make you get your midrange tidy because they're so heavily focused on the mids that you don't get distracted by the stuff happening at the top and bottom of the frequency range.
If you want to get the low end of your kick/bass/guitars to play together nicely then lowpass everything down to say 200hz and just focus on getting everything under that to work together. You could also bandpass say 2-6k to sort out guitar/vocal/cymbal conflicts in that area.

I used to do that a lot actually. Now I just render and hope for the best. But it was sorta helpful specially on cymbal-vocal-guitar-synth-kick high end battle. Helps find where they're sittin'

I was more aiming towards how stuff would go down between max and the OP 
Regarding the method itself: I guess it can help when starting out, especially as mentioned with the low mids, and I remember that I did this ocassionally at the beginning.
Not for settings the hi passes though.
I guess I've been mixing long enough to hear whats going on without beeing distracted, but I see the sense behind it at the start.
Never felt distracted by any of the higher stuff, say hi mids, cymbs vocals etc...
I'd just see it as a help to get there, and still adjust with everything going non the less.

You suggest I should go to Quebec so that we'd be able to meet and kick each other's fat old arses?
Naaah, let the man hipass and lopass stuff in any way possible. I wanted to suggest my own LEPRECHAUN method for the top-end, but don't wanna cause any more flame and hatred in here
