I consider it bass playing.
I don't like Korn that much, but I love Fieldy's sound and playing really, really a lot.

 

[Malk]

i've always hated his playing..totally overrated :?

 

[jay]

I love Fieldy alot!. I like Korns music but I think it is Jonathon (the singer) that is overrated)...

 

[Indianerdaniel]

Yeah... Not really my thing :lol:

 

[boston asphalt2]

Korn needs a bass player. What they have there is a really crappy second percussionist. All he is doing is hitting the strings, and thats all he ever does. I really dont consider him a bass player, sorry guys.

 

[Blockrocker]

Well..... I won't say he's a bad bassist, but one of the most overrated bassists of our time...

Edit: And i don't see why one would open a thread only to bash a bassist anyways...

Indeed,

not much awareness here in my opinion........

To each thier own but I still like bass played like a bass. I could listen to Dave pomeroy walk a line all day. I'm going back to 70's funk. Metal in the gym.

 

[Kris]

Hahaha! I know, I know; to each their own... But in my opinion this is just terrible

oh hell no, Victor Wooten actually plays slap, Fieldy plays "smash my hand into the super loose strings and make them rattle without much bass response at all!"

it sounds like shite!

this is korns sound...it also stops korn sounding like every other metal band. some like it, some dont but they are still a good indervidual band that deserves to do well

i like korn for the very reason that they dont really sound like anyone else...(i do tend to like most things though)

 

[flipper_gv]

I do not like fieldy at all

 

[Doog]

There was bass in that bass solo?

whoah whoah whoah, Korn isnt metal :lol:

 

[NeonVomit]

I dislike his sound and playing but hats off to him, he's done something different and stands out.

I didn't realise there were rules to bassplaying, or indeed anything else in music :mrgreen:

 

[Goingdownslow]

I am glad that when I took up bass I had Andy Fraser and Jack Bruce to listen to and learn from. (Yes I am an old git.) If I had have seen this, I would have stuck to standing on the street corner.
Then again, I suppose the likes of this may help to sell more basses, kids would look and think "look at that yo-yo, thats the way to do it, banging on the bass like a chimpanzee, I could do that".
Hmmm.... starting to remind me of saturdays in the bass section of the music shop.

So what is it then...? Course they dont sound like Arch Enemy or..i don't know any other metal band but i mean in every Music Branch you'll find Bands that just don't sound like any other Band doesn't mean that it ain't that kind of music.

No offense, but this whole thread appears to me to be very arrogant.
