MUDVAYNE Bassist Interviewed At NAMM (Video)

February 25, 2013

Warwick conducted an interview with Ryan Martinie of MUDVAYNE at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, a massive music-products convention that took place January 24-27 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. You can now watch the chat below.

Martinie filled in for KORN bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu during the band's shows in Europe last August so that Fieldy could be home for the birth of his child.

It's been more than three years since MUDVAYNE released its self-titled fifth album and little has been heard about the band since then. But in a late 2010 interview with the music blog Warwick, Martinie discussed the group almost entirely in the past tense. When asked about the quartet's musical evolution, Martinie said, "I think that what we did is valuable. It's become a cog in the wheel of music in some sort of way. We are a piece of musical history now . . . We were always just responding to our environment. I always saw the band to be important as an aspect of my life, as something that was supposed to take us places that are positive, and in that sense everything that happened with the band has happened for a reason."

MUDVAYNE did not tour behind its fifth album, which was barely promoted and sold weakly upon release.
