Maybe I blew my ears out at an early age (I did) but I've never been able to hear the bassist in any metal, ever, unless it was specifically mixed to make it stand out.

Sometimes you need an ear for it, but the other thing to keep in mind is that you might not notice the bass, but you would sure as hell notice if it was removed.

Yeah metal bass often exists as an essential that you don’t always notice but would heavily miss if it was gone.

hello bonjour, en francais we call the bread man l'homme de pain, because pain means bread and we're going to see a lot of pain this year and every nyrfan is looking forward to it and hey tony, can you wait until after my postgame interview to get on your phone? i thought you quit twitter...
I guess some people just can't hear bass if it isn't doing something different than the guitar. Here's a few songs where you get some contrast of guitars with/without bass - it should be pretty clear unless you're listening on earbuds or laptop speakers or something.

80s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAjsxg9V8sQ

90s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7_E1rUqBLk

While picking an example from the 00s, I realized that "Honour" is a pretty good one. On YouTube, the audio quality dips when the bass kicks in, and you can't hear it very clearly. On the CD, you can hear the bass a lot more loud and clear. Even an mp3 rip sounds a lot better than YT.

too evil for ya, eh? :v:

semi-related but one of the sillier of those dumb people reacting to entry-level metal youtube channels that have sprouted up like herpes is this married couple, presumably evangelicals, who read way, way too much into stuff and try to shoehorn what they think the bible says into lyrics. they were really turned off by ghost because they thought they might be actual satanists

the best one is when they took that one nile song about isis destroying monuments at face value convinced they were legit jihadists
