Some early Pat Metheny Group stuff - they were all so young 
Anyone know what bass Mark Egan is playing here?? It almost looks like a Jazz without a pick guard, which makes it looks so unfamiliar…

Some unadulterated Friday Fun for today:
With complimentary spine-chilling guitar sounds.

And on a more serious note:
This features Skulli Sverrison on bass. Skulli has a solo to die for, starting at 2:45.
Of course, some bloke from Bradford then has to eclipse everything else from 4:50 onwards, but hey, he’s actually from another planet.

Oh. After checking with a VPN, this video isn’t available from European countries… I hate when they do that. 
Here is a spotify link instead.

Nope never heard of them!
Speaking of Japanese metal, looks like Unlucky Morpheus just played London:
Lineup looks pretty awesome. I’ve heard of about half of those bands.

Guess I’m just an old guy cause I couldn’t make it past about 0:36…
No offense @terb, but I had an old riding lawnmower that sounded quite similar when I would get into the taller weeds and grass. When the blades got jammed full of weeds they would quit spinning, the motor would spit and spurt, but the drive belt for the blades would keep on going resulting in a painful screeching noise along with a distinct smell of burning rubber on the drive belt. Out of instinct, I had to stop the song for fear of something breaking on my iPhone…
The first few seconds were nice though…

and this is even not a super-modern thing : this album has been released more than 20 years ago (1998)
by the way, @howard you might be interested by the fact that the bass player is Brian Cook (who plays currently in Russian Circle).
