Why didn't you properly showcase the man? That's the bassist for Church of Misery, and no, no one slings it lower.

[@dmitryowens]

That's just silly. And you called Danny out for not showcasing that bassist and then you don't even give his name - lol

[@dmitryowens]

@iain2080 Yes, but since you're complaining that he didn't "properly showcase" him, going along with that line of thinking you should give his name for all of us who are unfamiliar with him. Unless you yourself aren't aware of his name.

Stoner puts a lot of importance on bass. Pretty sure they get a shit ton of fills, more solos than in other genres and straight up playing own riffs during guitar parts.

In a stoner festival, I once saw Tastu Mikami (the last bassist in the video) walking through the crowd during a concert, he seemed hurry. I just reached him and said to him that I loved his work and that he was a God for me. Then I just showed my hand to shake his, but instead he gave me a huge hug! I'm sure I will remember the scene forever! Go listen to Church of Misery! And if you already had, go listen again and again! Road to ruin would be my first choice with Killafornia, the bass works are insane.
