Dominic “Forest” Lapointe: Death’s “Nothing is Everything” Bass Playthrough
Every time I watch a video by Dominic “Forest” Lapointe, it’s sure to blow me away. This one is no exception.
Here’s the fretless 6-stringer playing through “Nothing is Everything” by Death. The track comes from their 1993 album Individual Though Patterns, which was originally played by fellow fretless metal player Steve DiGiorgio.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
Amazing! He makes it look easy.
satanic bullshit.
Take your clueless Puritanism somewhere else.
Satanic youve never even listened to Death there isnt anything satanic about chuck or his band i do t give a shit if post is 9 yrs old…
Don, have you ever actually listened to Death? If so you’d know chuck they were far from ‘satanic’.
i saw him many times live, he s awesome
great cover buddy!
not into speed metal or death metal, or scream rock. to me it’s wasted talent !
A lot of people here think that this is a waste of talent. I get it. This genre of music isn’t your thing, but keep in mind that it’s very musical and his capabilities on bass are outstanding. Absolutely fantastic.
Can’t believe some of the comments here. If you’re not in to metal that’s fine but at least recognize and respect the talent involved in the playing. SMDH
Can everyone pause their own thoughts for a minute and read Corey’s input?
“I’m not a fan of the genre like Kevin is, but I would consider a waste of talent having his ability and *not* playing. He’s using his talent for sure!”
You don’t have to appreciate the style to appreciate the technical skill involved
It’s funny – I’ve never really listened to Death, mostly because I assumed they were just another 80’s metal band that I tend to not enjoy very much. After this though, I think I’ll be listening to a little more. Loved the bass playing, loved the song itself. Thanks!
If your diggin this, Id recommend the entire individual thought patterns album. Steve DiGiorgio kills it on this album with fretless bass. HAve fun and happy listenings my friend!
I spy a Rickenbacker in the back
