@@freeschaeffercox1640 you are not alone
hehe
Hahaha
Hehe
The Man, the Myth, The Legend.
хорошо Антошка сказал
A phrase that describes you just as well lmao
Or at least almost
Тоха ты тоже определенно
Alex Webster is The death metal proffesor
I love the calm look on his face as he fucking shreds
You know what I love about this man? He's a virtuoso-level musician, but he doesn't mind sacrificing technicality for the sake of a good song. Not many good musicians are willing to do that.
He actually said something really interesting about some of their recent stuff. In order to avoid getting stale and repetitive, he sometimes tries to challenge himself technically in the hopes of pushing himself out of his comfort zone writing wise.
This guy is a machine, 100% metal

He's basically one of the best bassist of all time. He needs to put out a really good instructional DVD so his legend lives on!
DYING FETUS SHIRT °O°
Alex Webster, possibly the coolest and down to earth guy in metal.
100% no doubt about it, real educated well spoken nice guy
a lot of death metal bands are super cool and down to earth only band I met that were kinda dicks was deicide well mainly glen
Him and David Ellefson
@@rathernot3839, 100% glen is a bit if a prick. Alex is a real class act. I've met him many times and he always makes the fans feel appreciated.
I had the honor of meeting him at Summer Slaughter. He is definitely down to earth and so humble
This gentleman is such an educator...besides being one of the best bassists on the planet, he articulates so well...The way he describes chording is exactly how I do it...for effect...and the importance of mids...HUGE. Mids are what cut you through the mix...and how he describes "being where you need to be" is insanely important...knowing when to come up in the sound and when to clear out of the way for clarity...Cheers Alex!
Legend
What a tone
"Sometimes it's just whether the chords sound good or not."
*BANG BANG BANG BANG*
The Steve Harris of Death Metal.
Dalton Lawrence nahhhhh
More like Jordan B Peterson
JerkFace FuckasaurusRex
No
Steve Harris the guy withoud bass in his bass sound
@@mlody969 what are you talking about? he is always locking in with the drums
I met Alex last Autumn when Cannibal Corpse was touring in Finland. He is a real gentleman, very down-to-earth type of guy. I also met George. It's great how much they appreciate their fans.
After a show in Providence RI he came out to the crowd and met all the fans
Even if you don't like death metal, take lessons from these people they are amazing musicians, those techniques are essential
Even if you're not a death meal/cannibal corpse fan you can't deny the fact that he's an amazing bassist
Best bassist in Death Metal
together with Forest
I really don't enjoy CC music or songs, not my cup of tea. However - I could watch Alex and Rob for hours. Just wild technique I have a ton of respect for. Alex also knows his instrument and theory like a madman. Just watched a CC documentary and they are no doubt talented, down to earth, intelligent, articulate, and seem like great guys. Point - don't have to like the music but offer respect when it is due.
I'm with you man. The guys technique and tone are so on point.
+Louis Crowley I know what you mean. I always watch their videos hahaha
I'm a big Cannibal fan, but they are really respectable musicans and hard-workers. I'm glad people realize that even if they don't really like the sound. Separating the musician from the music is sometimes really good!
Spoken like a true person of intellect which is missing from ppl today, it's like if u don't like the music u don't like them, they don't Kno how to separate the two..
that's how l feel about classical
Thank you, this world needs more non metal people to see the insane talent that death metal has to offer
Damn. I watch this almost once per month.
Same!
And Chrono Trigger all the way!!!
:D

Sorry for my english
CC is one of my favorite bands and they are some of my favorite musicians; Alex especially! He's so intelligent, skilled, and well-spoken; well mannered too. I saw them last year and when it was in between songs I shouted, "Webster!!!" and he started plucking some fast notes. That was an amazing moment for me.
The chords discussion was too long
I have a frowny face for my EQ ... you can't get anymore brutal than that XD
This guy is maybe the coolest, easiest going guy in the genre. I met him three times, and just the nicest chill guy.
Magic bass guitar fron Cannibal Corpsie
most vintage death metal band members are cool as hell. 85 - 95 , just metalheads.
Jesus is Dog : 1985-1995
I do not know the first thing about a bass guitar but I have always been attracted to it. What I do know is that this man, in my opinion, is extremely humble. Obviously I do not know him and only "know what I know" from seeing him in interviews, on stage, in clinics, etc., but that is my perception of him and I am going with it! I could be his bass cleaning assistant though...for free! LOL! As I always say in reply to those who state "that music makes you kill people!"......"Ummmm, No! It keeps me from killing people!" Thank you Alex!
Alex is one of my favourite metal personalities. Not only is he an awesome musician, but he also seems to be a friendly and cool dude. Go Alex!
how can an instrument's tone manage to give gooosebumps??
"I just play bass, and that's what I do"
And my god he dose it well! Alex is the best!
He's such a good dude. Smart too. He was the brains ,business and finance behind corps. Not to mention he's probably the best bassist in the death metal world
Steve di Giorgio the Best Death metal bassist.
So modest, so professional, so fucking articulate. Alex Webster, you are fucking awesome.
this man is the whole reason i got a 5 string bass and the reason that bass is a spector best bassist in the world
I've learned so much from this guys videos and interviews since i've been playing bass. One of the wisest men in metal. Actually, one of the wisest men in music.
his bass makes the earth rumble....awsome tone
He's a great musician, and he's humble as fuck. I wish there'd be more like him.
I totally agree with you! I've tried so hard to explain to people why when I play, I play fingers and not pick, and no one ever understands! Finally! Thank you! :)
His voice reminds me of Dave Mustaine For some reason
He does actually sound like a deeper voice Mustaine.
Same thing here
So does his hair
absolutly
He has a similar speech to dave
He is the world’s fucking best bass player IMHO. His technique is fucking insane. It’s hard to adjust for 2 fingers to 3. And his tone IS FUCKING AMAZING. You don’t even have to be a Cannibal Corpse fan to admit he’s a fucking insane bass player. Fucking inspiration right there.
yeah, Alex's keeps his skills and positivity very high up there. It shows in his playing.
Guys if you want to get better with the three finger technique, buy his extreme metal bass book. i've been using it for 2 weeks and i improved a LOT
LSame here man. His book was extremely helpful to me when I first started getting into extreme metal.
+Andrea Parussini I didn't buy it because I didn't really find it here in Brazil yet, but I gave it a look and it looks great!
I've never heard a bass sound so damn agressive in my life.
His bass sounds amazinggggg
One of my favorite interviews with Alex
It is about time we get some material like this. He needs to release a dvd.
Love the way you teach things, very graspable.
LEGEND!!!
He should seriously make a DVD, giving even more awesome lessons.
Not a big CC fan, but Alex Webster is one of the greatest metal bassists alive, next to Steve Harris!
This guy is a TRUE bass player \m/!!! Alex!!
if you were introduced to Cannibal Corpse or Blotted Science coming from a background of no metal, you would never expect the musicians behind them to be genuinely nice people. I had the privilege of meeting Alex Webster and he was by far one of the nicest people I've met
Dave Mustaine (bass version)
That's an insult to Alex. Mustaine is a fine lead player, but the guitarists he hires as the main lead players are the real stars.
True, When you see dave playing fast solos/leads you can see his speed is limited. He can play fast solos but he cant nail them, unlike Kiko Loureiro for example, who always nails every single note in a very clean way. Dave mustaine is more known for extremely catchy and awesome rythms.
I just want to listen to him play bass all day. That tone is amazing!
this guy is an insanely good bassist, definitely in the top 10 best
Man, I would give all my money to learn to play bass from this guy!
he has a knack for explaining things so everyone would understand .. i like that. i also love how STRAIGHT the fingers of his picking hand are when he plays. awesome
Alex Webster always well spoken, common sense and a down to heart! great musician
Webster NEEDS to release a DVD....I'd buy it the second it was released.
He's endorsed by Darkglass, I believe. They have massive tone.
Hes 1 of my favorite bass players
smartest guy in the whole worldwide metal scene \m/
The best bass player of all time
+Cain Erik heard of Steve Harris??
@@davidluiz389 I've heard of Steve Harris and can confirm Alex Webster is still the best
alex is so metal...one of my idols
cant wait for his book
I fucking love this guy he's the coolest
He is just AMAZING AND GORGEOUS!
really instructive
"We want it to sound like a big machine just rolling over everything" 🤣
This guy is my full inspiration on learning bass. If it weren't for his lessons I would have never been able to learn how to play death metal, or any type of metal at that.
love the metallic sound, damn I will be happy with a spector legend :D
finally an instruction video!
Fantastic musician and songwriter.
such a beastly tone makes me wanna get a spector!
Damn, that is some sick finger work!
Such a great guy
Gracias Alex, for teaching me the three finger galloping technique. It sounds sick!!
Webster -master,teacher,legend!
thank you alex
He speaks like a true professional. Insane bass player
My god, I love that tone!
beautiful spector tone
Cannibal Corpse was live 2 days ago in Estonia and i got to shake hands with him. I recomend anyone going to see them live. Most powerfull thing i have ever witnessed :)
Is in CC - hesitates to say "darn"
Да просто как человек!!!!!!Порадовал!!!!!!!
Some people can't play with picks, like my self. I just get more of a sense of the rhythm with my fingers and i can accent certain parts a lot better (switching to a quick slap or pop). Honestly, i should dedicate some time to practicing with a pick to improve because i feel as a bass player, you should be somewhat well rounded in all styles IMHO.
“you can saw away at it forever” *helicopter gattling gun noises*
His signature model bass is the hammer smashed bass....no seriously lol
his technique is just brilliant!
What a great bassist
I get to see Corpse tonight! I hope I get to meet him! He seems he would be cool to talk to.
God, that bass has such a powerful tone.
WOW, that is Kick Ass, thanks for the tip!
I love how every Metal musician speak's the same lingo, "there's slow, mid-paced, fast and SLAYER!!!!!"
Webby would make bitches explode with his finger technique .
This proves why Bass players are the heart of the band! \m/
My favourite bassist ever. He could record a solo album of just bass and I would get into it and headbang just as much as if it were a whole band.
I love his tone.
Websters a beast on bass, this video is brutal
Check out Blotted science, Webster is in it with Ron Jarzombrek, and Hanes Grossman (Obscura) and on their first release the drummer from Behold the Arctopus. It's all instrumental and oozes musicianship and musicality.
Awesome dude.
Its easier to learn the right way rather than having to unlearn or correct bad habits.
Best bassist on metal, and best bass sound ever!
