The bass guitar inside Metal.

Hello everbody. I´m going to show for you some ideas i have in my head about the bass guitar inside the Metal music. Remember, this is just my thoughts, you can agree or not with this post. \../

When heavy metal was a new musical genre, in the end of 70´ years, they don´t have a definided ``language´´, a right way to play it .The Bass guitar just have to function of follow the guitar, giving more ``heaviness´´ to the music,but everthing changed when enter Steve Harris, young bassist from U.K
Leader and founder of Iron Maiden, Steve revolutionized the bass inside the heavy music, because he decreased the ``copy of guitar´´, giving more tecniques to the instrument, same without theoretical bases. He produced all Maiden records, and recorded it with a Fender precision bass and guitar amps. For me, he is one of the best in the world and a inspiration for me( i´m bassist too, but do not come to the feet of his technique and creativity).
  In the other side of sea, in the year of 1983,was starting a revolution in Metal: theThrash Metal( punk and rock fusion) appeared, with new bassists in scene, but that few stood out at first moment.
In that moment, one young band called Metallica, which became strike in the style, was releasing their first album, Kill Em All. The album have Metal elements, but he introdu.ced new things, like distortion guitar, double pedal on drums, tecnical guitar solos and a lost of things
In the midlle of this ``boom´´, a young bassist called Cliff Burton stood out in comparation with other bassists, because his tecnique, ``footprint´´ and musical theory have never been seen in such a way. He worked out with a Rickenbaker, ampeg bass amps and wah wah pedal effects( originally they are used for guitar). Listening to the three first Metallica albums, you will see what i´m talking about. Unfortunately, this revolucionary bassist lose his life in the midlle of a tour, in 1986. After it, Metallica never finded out a musician like him.
     Talking about other things, we have a lot of creative bassist in this crowd; to see how this is truth, listen to many metal bands like, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth,Mastodon, and of course, the classic Black Sabbath, because they have a lot of contributions to bass guitar.
Its comum we see that metal bassist with big hair, banguing and playing on the right way, but in the most cases, they just play guitar in bass( producing the same rice and beans). But have  good things inside it. Watch the following videos:

Good night to all. Hughs
