By Your Command - Devin Townsend Bass Solos

[billybobjoe1881]

What's the point of the solo at 4:05 and 6:00

[jibjqrkl]

all instruments have those in that song.

it's because Ziltoid says they should be there, so they are.

Also, he didn't like my coffee ;_;

Huh. Weird.

The "Ziltoid Initiative" is a project in cooperation with ThatAuthoringGroup and Devin Townsend. They wanted this album to be an experience, so what they came up with was little "quirks" in their songs to make it look like Ziltoid is messing with the game. If you play with all instruments, those solos are on every single one of them.

Other examples of this kind of thing are "ghost vocals," where there's no vocals, but the vocal chart requires you to say something stupid and hilarious, Ziltoid calling you out for being a nerd in some songs, sporadic venue direction (especially on ZTO) and on Planet Smasher, the parts with the Planet Smasher being done in a "sixth dimensional intellect." Harmonix was content with this, but there was a huge debate about this in the community for the longest time, but eventually people understood (for the most part) that it was something the artist wanted to do.

like i said, it's because Ziltoid wants it to be

[Dangimarocker]

Oh ziltoid, what will he think of next...

[DragoonXD]

I assume this doesn't make much sense if you're on PS3 with only 2 (or was it 3?) of the songs from the album.

I just bought and played this yesterday on guitar. I assure you your game is not broken. Ziltoid just wants to make you think it is.

3: Ziltoidia Attaxx, Hyperdrive, and By Your Command. Avalible to us in that order.

I haven't bought Hyperdrive yet, what does Ziltoid "mess up" with that song?
