Sure on a guitar it can be cool but i prefer shredding to tapping. Asside from tapping his licks have always left me lacking never quite pushing any limits or straining. Would say his work is pretty mediocre for a bassist trying so hard, kind of lame and overworked, like tool.
I understand your opinion, but.....
How many bass players do you know that use a

bass kick mic?
He made his niche if you ask me.
Go ahead...you can say
"PRI-MUS SUCKS....PRI-MUS SUCKS...."
THOUSANDS DO AT THEIR SHOWS. It's pretty much
mandatory.
.....and BTW.....TOOL absolutely-friggin-kicks-ass. More metal please!
Rush should try some metal. Hell, they've done everything else.
If Alex can do "Little Drummer Boy," he can do "Little Metalhead."
Don't start none...won't be none.
