I don't have the motivation or talent to join a band, but I do like to play a little metal. In the process of tabbing out my cd collection.

 

Unfortunately, bass for metal usually means backing up the guitarist, which is fine and all, but with the newer metal, that means hanging out on the 'B' string. I like to do more...

That's why I switched to playing guitar in my metal band.

Yes I have to double the guitar part often. Luckily my guitarist writes some very interesting riffs so I do have to work hard and be flexible. The challenge involved has been my main motivation for staying with the band during a difficult year when our vocalist/lyricist walked out [due to being under the thumb]
