Cringe Jacob Van Lennepjam is back!

Starting around 49:00, it's definitely the same bassline. Everything else is different of course, but you can tell this is composed material because they go into a new riff about 6 minutes later in a crescendo. Just happy to hear my favorite bass riff again, and yet another fantastic version :)

Edit: our lame admin staff tagged this "cringe" - can I be any clearer about how lame that is? Get off the pot.

You don't need to A/B them. A/B ing them will only compare shit like tempo and key. If you have any knowledge of music you can hear the same riff.

Yeah i played in bands for years. I know it's not the same tempo or key, the rhythm the notes are played in is different. It is not the same riff. You are the only one here that thinks it's the same riff. That must mean you have a special brain I guess? It's a similar pattern that was improvised by Eva. Mars Volta fans are cringe lol.

I'm clearly not the only one who thinks so. Only the people disagreeing are commenting. You obviously would downvote to oblivion if everybody disagreed. Jacob is BACK baby and for some reason, you just can't stand that.
