    This is about the 10th video I’ve watched of these guys and I have to comment now. A friend said to check First Fragment out and although I’m a guitar player, I have to say that Forest is a total bass monster. I thought I had seen all the monster bass players and then I see all the stuff Forest is doing and I’m on the damn floor. I just have to call some of the stuff he’s doing as bass shredding. Never seen anything like it. What an incredibly tight and amazing band. Glad I’ve discovered them and wondering how the hell I missed them.
