Run now, hide what you know to be the truth
You probably don't care but.
I just noticed how the bass on Not Like You totally kicks butt. Totally. The bass is awesome, and it's kind of strange/cool how the bass plays way more notes than the guitar solo. So now it seems like the bass is playing lead, and not the guitar. Which is really strange. And you can only hear it clearly if you turn up the bass boost (which is something not many people do, unfortunately).
And the bass line on I'm Not Talkin' is pretty cool too. I don't care if it's a cover. It's a
good cover, and that's what matters, to me at least. You've got to admit, someone singing while having a really heavy instrument hanging off your neck is probably incredibly strainful on your vocal chords. Of course, that includes playing said instrument.
Complicated Girl is pretty cool too, especially with the seventh chords which are not really common for Michael Steele's songs. It has this rolling quality that just carries the song with it. And yes, she has to sing on that too.
As a side note, Nickel Romeo has a pretty interesting bass line going about during the guitar solo too. And that's just cool.
Okay yes random time over.
I have just finished a whole lot of my work! Isn't that awesome :D
... and because I'm trying not to swear on my blog I'll try really hard to divert it to some other more creative outlets instead.
Never mind.
Before I either:
1) Start rambling about bass tabs (I'm quite sure no one will want to read my blog then);
2) Start swearing;
3) Totally delete this post and whatever I've typed here
I had better post it first.
[edit: Hey, I just realized the repetition style of the bass root note in Here Right Now is pretty cool too!]
