Lars in a clearly photoshopped Megadeth shirt is a pretty good meme

Songs just sound so thin without bass. Even if you can’t pick it out in a mix, bass influences the feel of the song immensely.

Listening to Iron Maiden without bass is like walking outside with no pants on.

without bass, songs sound like they can blow away in the wind

Without bass, there IS no Iron Maiden!

Bass is like eyebrows. You never notice it until it's gone

Bass is the glue that holds the drums and guitars together.

All my old favourite metal albums have prominent bass. Love it.

Hearing The Trooper with no bass hurt my soul…

Only if Lars Ulrich is in the mixing room

The bass is one of the main reasons I still love Black Sabbath, and why Geezer Butler is a freaking god.

Mark Mendoza was the man that made me want to play bass. Then Steve Harris sealed the deal. It was an older metalhead cousin that explained to me what was that sound that I liked... "that is the bass" and got me one to start learning it. Sadly, my cousin passed last December. Thanks for everything and RIP.

A lot of times the reason I hear people saying they can't hear bass in Metal, it's because the bass is often mistaken for part of the guitar line, but yes, bass is audible in Metal more often than it isn't. Hell, some bands like Weedeater and Saint Vitus actually have the bass up louder than the guitars.

The question really is: Can you hear the bass in metal over the guitarist's ego.

"Cannibal Corpse's Alex Webster". He is playing a song from his band Conquering Dystopia here. Kufra at Dusk I believe.

Okay, that space effect when the bass cuts off is actually pretty sick…but it will have to come back eventually. Can’t get a hype beat drop without it
