![]() ![]() I never personally owned a single metal album (yes, back then they were vinyl). I felt that if I wanted to be having fun with my guitar and drum playing buds, I had to join them in their Metal Mania. The Damned are an English rock band formed in London in 1976 by lead vocalist Dave Vanian, guitarist Brian James, bassist (and later guitarist) Captain. ![]() But this is coming from a reformed 'melodic-heavy-metal' bass player (me) who is bitter about the fact that during his formative years all of his friends wanted to play metal and not the Beatles. but still, I do feel that lots of time spent getting Maiden under your belt is lots of time lost on getting some really useful techniques together. They are very 'nitch' and since they have already cornered the market of 'Viking Rock' there is really not all that much call for triplet-heavy bass players in this world. Maiden Warning! - I personally feel that where Iron Maiden is an impressive act unto itself, it is not a band to pattern you bass playing style after.
