Speak for yourself. I know I wouldn't want my favorite bands to change bass players...

Because that would radically change their sound? What bands are we talking about?

Name a band. In most bands the bass player has a huge influence on the sound. Bass tones vary so much, as do playing styles. I can say for certain that if you were to change bass players of any band I listen to frequently, I would be able to tell almost instantly. Then again, I focus alot on bass playing.

My favorite band going right now is Dinosaur Jr. And we know what happens when they lose Lou Barlow -- the 90s...

You couldn't possibly be more wrong or clueless about bass players.

Says the guy who listens to neither genre to know what bands in said genres are unfathomably awful. It isn't like I listen to Mortician.

No they're not.

Well it's not my fault that I can't name any of the bands you like.

Because you NEVER talk about what you like.

So you came to the conclusion that I listen to death metal and avant-garde metal without me ever talking about them?
