Where do you guys go for accurate death (particularly bass) tabs, the big sites like ultimate guitar and songster never seem to be fully accurate.
Specifically overactive imagination, scavenger of human sorrow
this is not a popular opinion, and I don’t think it’s the absolute worst, but I do think it is terrible and has been unbelievably detrimental. To start, it was a pathetic send off for death as a band, only made because the record label wouldn’t let Chuck do control denied yet, because of that the band that death metal is named after ended on a straight prog album. It features one of the worst vocal performances in metal history and the music in general is just boring and painfully overproduced. The main reason I hate it though is because it is largely responsible for the development of three out of my four least favorite genres of metal- melodeath, metalcore, and deathcore. I get why people can like those and thjs album, but for me it’s a complete departure from what death started as, and it ended up as a complete failure. it’s the only death album that doesn’t have the slightest bit of death metal in it, and a lot of it seems intentionally made to attract more mainstream attention. I also don’t generally like Judas Priest, painkiller is the slight exception (just thr song, not the album), but that cover just falls flat. JP’s vocals are already pretty bad but they’re somehow even worse on the cover. The last three death albums overall I consider pretty sorry, but this one in particular is just borderline insulting.
i see a lot of hate for anything past spiritual healing but idk why i think their later albums are way better than their first albums
For me it's Bobby Koeble's solos on Symbolic, they don't fit the songs at all I absolutely cannot stand them.
This album is peak I used to listen to in when I was in class

really dont get it, its sound so beautiful and sad at the same time to me.
(also my bad for spelling "the" wrong it was just a typo and now i cant change it)
33 years ago this amazing album was released showcasing once again the amazing work of Chuck and and his band members from said album (Andy LaRocque, Steve DiGiorgio and Gene Hoglan)
Personally my favorite parts from this album is the bass and my favorite song could be In Human Form
I listen weekly human/itp/symbolic almost 20 years (imho the "worst" songs are 10/10), but i cant stand the first 3 and sop.......
Does anyone have the clip of a Death concert (around the spiritual healing era) where a heckler grabs or tries to grab Chuck's microphone stand while he was performing and after he finished the song, Chuck said "I'm trying to perform a professional show", "get the fuck out of here, dude"?
Here's a clip from the podcast with me and Paul Masvidal (Cynic, Ex-Death) - we had Craig Locicero (Forbidden) on and he talked about how he met Chuck in the bay area and eventually joined for a tour.
Some cool details I think that wasn't publicly mentioned in the past is noted as well! Bonus talk with Chris Kontos (Machine Head) chiming in about the Bay Area Thrash scene as well if you're a fan of that too!
