But the true design of this stoner rock outfit is three separate minds, three separate experiences and three separate adventures in audio exploration. Adam Cesario, bass player for <a href="http://www.sottrock.com/">SOTT</a>, took the time to dig through his music collection and uncover 5 gems that were instrumental in shaping his song writing contributions. Here, Adam talks a little about each album and what they mean to him....</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.rush.com/">"2112-2112" - Rush </a></div><div><br /></div><div>Rush has always been, and continues to be my favorite rock and roll band of all-time. Their commitment to delivering studio quality sound during live performances is what separates them from every other substantial music production. Listening to this album for the very first time, I was immediately drawn towards Geddy Lee's signature bass tone. Now, playing bass myself, I to have made countless attempts to try and emulate his sound, hence the Fender Geddy Lee Signature Jazz Bass. Every time I listen to another band, I automatically compare them to Rush.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.black-sabbath.com/">"We Sold Our Soul For Rock and Roll" - Black Sabbath</a></div><div><br /></div><div>In my opinion, Black Sabbath pioneered the genre "heavy metal" and set the stage for several different heavy metal sub-genres that we are familiar with today. This album in particular, is the one that all musical enthusiasts try to imitate. Hearing my favorite track on the album for the first time, "Sweet Leaf" enticed me into understanding how a bass guitar can sound like that. I remember developing a very strong appreciation towards Geezer Butler after that album.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.ratm.com/">"Rage Against the Machine" - Rage Against the Machine</a></div><div><br /></div><div>The most contemporary influence out of the 5 choices. Mark let me listen to these guys when I was like 13 and needless to say, they're fucking ridiculous. I've always enjoyed the idea of combining hard rock with hip-hop for some reason. As far as technique goes, I haven't really looked into Tim Commerford's playing ability as much as my other influences. However, I have always respected the approach and overall presence these guys brought to the industry.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.thepolice.com/">"Every Breathe You Take: The Singles" - The Police</a></div><div><br /></div><div>What's the next best thing to heavy metal and hard rock? Sting &amp; The Police. Sting, being another one of my favorite bassists of all-time, has been a very strong influence on my bass playing. He shows us through his playing that, bass is not about comprising the most complex runs or seeing how fast you can play, it's about grooving. Sacrificing your own playing abilities for the greater good of the music. Sting's playing alone has made me branch out into many different playing techniques and has allowed me to develop an appreciation for diversity within music.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.victorwooten.com/">"Palmyserty" - Victor Wooten</a></div><div><br /></div><div>My dad being a huge Bela Fleck &amp; The Fleckstones fan, I just had to listen to this album. What can I say? Unbelievable!! In my opinion, Victor Wooten is the bass player that all upcoming bass players should aspire to. This album is grooving from beginning to end. Out of all my 5 choices, this album is the one that makes me truly want to become a better bassist. His technique cannot be matched. My dad and I recently saw him at a bass clinic at The Al Green Theater and he is even more ridiculous live!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/835737327858977486-4337707235109397540?l=slipofthetonguerock.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Slip Of The Tonguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14871245382495889769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-835737327858977486.post-73375336050871057552010-01-07T15:57:00.000-08:002010-02-10T13:31:58.673-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r6Di-CkCkWM/S0Z7-LMryII/AAAAAAAAABI/xVmpqYt91Os/s1600-h/cartoon+porn.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_r6Di-CkCkWM/S0Z7-LMryII/AAAAAAAAABI/xVmpqYt91Os/s400/cartoon+porn.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424159109302438018" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Let me tell you a lil bit about <a href="http://sottrock.com">SOTTrock</a> and what <a href="http://www.sottrock.com">SOTTrock</a> does..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Slip inside</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of her</div><div style="text-align: center;">The box</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tongue first</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We are your smoke after sex and we are the cure to the hex</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Sex Rock if you will</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We got a bunch of new stuff coming out so let's get dirty and fuck!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stay tuned</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/835737327858977486-7337533605087105755?l=slipofthetonguerock.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Slip Of The Tonguehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14871245382495889769noreply@blogger.com0
