Yeah, Ben was on top of things. Their entire sound changed from Louder Than Love to Badmotorfinger and a lot of that is Ben's doing. I did like their original bassist too though, but when Ben joined they became a tighter band and were more musically complex. ☮️

Low is better! I met Carol Kaye at NAMM and later took a couple of personal lessons. She said I was playing with the wrong height on my strap and I asked if I was supposed to look like I play with The Ramones and she said yes! I can play longer than before with less fatigue. Thanks Carol!!!
@@AnthonyMonaghan r/nothingeverhappens Cool shit happens all the time. In fact, I actually played bass on the 1st Linkin Park album, “Hybrid Theory,” on tracks 1, 9, & 10. I’m almost certain you won’t believe me, but that doesn’t matter, it’s whatever. It literally proves that people in comment sections do cool shit all the time. Sure, there’s liars, here and there, but more often than not, people don’t really need to lie about trivial shit for cool internet points.
Having seen Suffocation and Derek Boyer live before, he’s an incredible bass player and his technical ability is incredible. He is, without doubt, one of the best bass players in death metal, really, metal in general.
He’s freakishly good. He hammers down hard with his plucking hand, striking the strings in a very physical manner. Gives an extremely punchy sound that cuts through the mix, but requires a ton of strength. An absolute BEAST of a player
Derek Boyer is an absolute legend, I saw Suffocation last year and they did a pre-show meet and greet, the guy was super chill and funny as hell too I'm pretty sure his behs was custom built for him specifically so he can play it upright like that, it looks so fucking cool when he hits that power-stance and starts headbanging away!
I was just about to mention seeing a band where the bass was touching the floor. That was suffocation lmao. The craziest part about their band is the guitarists hairline.
Cuban heels. Gotta be the weirdest name I've ever heard for cowboy boots, pointed toe boots, or riding heel boots. Though when I lived in New York the older guys called them Puerto Rican Fence Climbers so...
Bro, almost everyone you'll meet in the deathmetal scene is nice. I've been drumming in one band or the other since 97'. It's rare when you run into someone that's a dick.
I saw Suffocation live last year, I'd never seen live footage before so safe to say I had no idea what was going on when the geezer came out with his bass completely vertical 😂
Seeing Derek Boyers bass playing live and up close is an experience. Homie summons the Bass Gods from the ground up. I'm convinced he's a Bass Warlock.
I actually saw suffocation live!!! Amazing band, amazing guys, amazing show. I didnt really notice the bassist since the pits were insane and i was headbanging slightly too much 😂
I've known Derek since he moved to Long Island and joined Suffocation..We shared a house together...and he's been playing like this for decades now. He can play like thay and not miss a note. Fantastic bass player and great friend.
It's part of his sound, I do a similar thing with my guitar for some songs but I rest mine on a heavy barstool instead of the ground. When your guitar or bass is resting against a solid object it changes the resonance of the instrument, when I do that with one of my Flying V's the notes ring forever almost like a sustainor pickup and with one of my Jacksons it makes the low end almost sound like an 8 string.
Hes one hell of a bassist
Yes, he is! He's killed it on every Suffocation record since Souls To Deny.

Yep.....absolutely!!!
One man's music is torture to another one..
To suffocate is to die or get murdered, so a music group with that name means life is nothing to them.

We came from upright basses stanging on ground to electric basses with strap, and then to 5 string basses standing on ground
Yup, full-circle.
Don't forget about Peter Steele who played an upright bass strapped to him like an electric
I would love to see an electric upright that's more traditional, like a modern version of that 1938 Gibson one.
