Evan Brewer: MEGATHREAD

[Jogeta]

Apologies in advance if the creation of this thread is a breach of forum etiquette!

I love this guy! I feel that he brings something fresh to modern heavy music.

His work with Reflux and Animosity made me notice bass guitar in metal, and he nailed his parts when I saw The Faceless in Manchester - while smiling and having a good time!

I can't get "Currency" from his solo album, Alone, out of my head! Fully looking forward to seeing him perform his solo stuff live!

That tour looked astonishing! The musicianship involved........

 

[rogrotten]

yeah dude, all of the bands have something different ( in a good way). I really enjoyed all the bands. and yeah the level of musicianship was amazing!

That first vid was really cool...haven't watched the others yet. But let me get this straight. This guy has played in reflux with Tosin, he's supporting AAL on tour right now, and AAl doesn't have a bassist...

Saw him in Illinois just the other day. Awesome dude. Let me hold/ play his ESP custom bass. Definitely one of the best bass players out there.

great player

From what I gather from the AAL megathread, they play along to a backing track live that has all the synths, samples and bass tracks on it. That would be one less mouth to feed on the road, and one less rig to lug around.

Seeing him Monday on the AAL tour.

Still undecided.

I wish in the gear vid he talked more on his ESP 5 string, why was it to much to go into ? i personally am always up for a good 20minute video about gear!!

Now to gush, as a guitar player this guy makes me wana run out and buy a bass.

In regards to the song Currency -
All of that could have been done on one bass, could it not?

I thought the same thing, He's a good player though.

I don't think so because he rings out most of the notes so it's a lot more "chordal" and you wouldn't be able to do that in only a bass. Right? correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not sure of what I just said

Probably? I just like hearing the different tones of each bass together. My fav, track on the album for sure.

A lot of the tapped notes on the lap bass sound like they're on strings that aren't being used by his left hand, so I'm pretty sure they could ring out on one bass.
It's impressive and all, I just don't think it's necessary.

Do any of you guys know what is up with those string mutes he uses? Almost like a sort of capo or something? Might be fun to mess with. Is he just using some fabric or something?

It's just a hair tie. It's not a capo, because it doesn't change the pitch. All it does is prevent open strings from ringing out.

 

[GSingleton]

SO...anyone heard of his new project called Climaxes? I have searched and found nothing on here.
