The reason bass sucked on Weathered was not because Mark sucks, its because he was playing straight up rythmn bass, (you stay in the same key following the guitar, not extras or licks).

True, but also as I have said. The bass lines aside from being "rythmic" they also sounded so alike, for example
the bass lines in

weathered
my sacrafice

sounded exactly the same, no variation. And you would think that if mark did have some bass skill then they would not come sounding so much the same, considering in his guitar scence weathered was extremeley varied. Also, I remember reading mark saying he pounded those lines of in a day, and that my freind is rushing it way to fast, way to fast. And it's almost inevitable that the bass lines would suffer under a circumstance such as that. Otherwise they would not of turned out boring as hell.

Hmm, I didn't know that. And I hadn't noticed that. But okay, well then I concide.

I mean, I don't know the full bass potential of mark. But being a guitarist of his skill, you would think they would be something like marshall's. And of which was a real bassist, bassist.

Perhaps he just needs to take more time with the bass lines this time.

[musicmind226]

Possibly, but still.....creed should just a bassist. In the video's they just look odd with that vacant, bassless spot.

[musicmind226]

Or mabey I will just be their next bassist ; )

LOL hey you never know maybe they could do a Limp Bizkit hold auditions and steal eveyones music. LOL

I agree they should have a bassist but in the end we have no influence whatsoever.

"I agree they should have a bassist but in the end we have no influence whatsoever."

I'm not sure what you mean by that comment, but it's a shame. Bass is such an underrated instrument. And don't let anyone every tell you other wise. Bass is just as important as guitar, vocals and drums. Bass is only the bottom, hence bass. But when creed had marshall they had a whole new demension to them, with mark it's just gone and now looks like it's going to be gone forever. Such a shame.

"LOL hey you never know maybe they could do a Limp Bizkit hold auditions and steal eveyones music. LOL"

Lol, If creed do deside to hole auditions god willing, I don't think they would do something like that.

Well, you're a little dissapointed....I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED

"Well, you're a little dissapointed....I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED"

My sentiments EXACTLY. Right on.

no Creed won't hold auditons that was just a joke. I just meant earlier that we can plead for Creed to find a bass player but in the end we have no control in the matter.

[musicmind226]

Yea, I know....wishfull thinking. However, If mark does do the bass, I sincerely hope he puts more effort into it, and not just half ass it like he did on weathered. Can't wait to see if there will be any guitar scredidge.

Can't wait to see Creed on the road again!!

[creeddane]

well,

i might be cool having a bass player in creed again. I say let him in.
