NoMeansNo - Slowly Melting
00:00 / 06:09
Progressive punk? Yes, that would perhaps be an apt descriptor for NoMeansNo. This one is "Slowly Melting" from their 1993 album "Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy?".
Rob Wright has one of the meanest tones around (I've heard he played on Marshall guitar amps/cabs?). He's a pick player, so it's an excuse for me to snap the hell out of the strings and broil the bass tone with a fair bit of crusty drive. Didn't focus so much on learning/playing the exact notes, rather on the energy and intensity.
