Just completly out of curiosity....

Did you used to come here under a different name?

Just a thought I had....somthing seems weird....lol

well i know theres a technique called slap/pop, like both of them combined, where you tap the string with the thumb and pop it with the index, ya know?

thats a pretty crazy video. the bass player is sick, although at parts, its like they are just slapping, and it doesnt sound good at all, but it looks crazy. and i wasnt as impressed with the guitar player, but they were both doing tight shit.

yoda I agree dude, some of it sounds horrible, it's like they're just doing it to show they can do it, not to make nice noises. it's more like they're going for a guinness world record instead of jamming. still awesome shit though

Give them say Paganini's 5'th caprice and I bet they can't play it

Slap poppnig (at least with a Bass) has its place in Metal. i have a friend who can play some insane slap pop riffs and he was in a metal band. Kind of makes a funky metal sound.
