Spawn of Possession - Dead and Grotesque

[00NeVaN00]

If the bass player of Spawn of Possession needs a backup, they can call you to play their songs....... Oh wait a second.

[CephalicZyklon]

damn man that was fucking boss.

[LiveMental]

You, sir, are tits.

[RottingHands]

What do you think CannibalisticZombie's rendition, just out of curiosity.

[bajskung]

@RottingHands who in the wut now?

[RottingHands]

@bajskung yeah, some other bassist on youtube did his own twist of your bass line. And by the way your a great bassist and your work in Spawn OF Possession has been a big influence on me. Keep making music man. Nice Warwick as well though I prefer Spectors.

[ThoughtPatternss]

@RottingHands He knows who Cannibalisticzombie is. :P

[bajskung]

@RottingHands Oh right. I rarely check out other bass players on youtube at all, and remembering peoples screen names (especially the death metal related ones) is one of the autistic qualities I severely lack.

[websterx9]

@bajskung Wait so why do you answere them and never answere me >=[] !! xD! Ok one question...Are you a stuck up as peopl say or not?

[bajskung]

@websterx9 I wasn`t aware I was stuck up, but I guess random people on the net know me better than anyone. Besides, knowing is half the battle, right? Mainly because I flat out don`t bother answering everyone posting on my vids. Fair and square.

[websterx9]

@bajskung so do u accept all friend requests on FB?

[bajskung]

@websterx9 Almost never. I only add people I know. Weird , huh?

[websterx9]

@bajskung Dude me talking to you right now is the best thing that ever happend to me in a long time thank you,You are the best bass player alive and you are my role model and never ever think or will think that there is a better bass player out there who can beat you \m/ you fucking rock.

[bajskung]

@websterx9 That was an odd build up. But thanks.

[websterx9]

@bajskung Haha well...I don't know what to say you would never imagine how much I admire you..!

[bajskung]

@websterx9 I really don`t , no. But I`m glad it makes a difference to you, at least.

[websterx9]

@bajskung Well I hope one day I could meet you but no money at the moment or anything :D but i'll work it out,glad you replied Mr erlend \m/ have a nice day :)

[bajskung]

@websterx9 Oh well, prostitution isn`t really my thing anyways, so no worries.

[websterx9]

@bajskung hahahaha I didn't mean it that way =D But u know.

[bajskung]

@websterx9 Oh, i know. Just flaunting my silly internet personae around to fight off what seems to be a rumor about me being arrogant. Oh well, I tried.

[websterx9]

@bajskung hahaha No problem and who ever says that you can just punch him in the face and he'll be sorry for the rest of his life =)

[JoeyRocksTheBass]

tht riff at 0:38 wears me out sooo fast, is there a trick to doing it? or just practice?

[fieldofpads]

@JoeyRocksTheBass Practise at the fastest speed that you can stay in time with the metronome and practise at your absoloute fastest with no regard for timing at all; by isolating speed on it's own you will have the strength and dexterity to accommodate the timing. Sounds wrong but practise timed and loose and it works.

Bass Fitness by Josquin Des Pres, is a book full of finger exercises that work on all the common weak areas. Do not pay more than £5.00 GBP (approx: 8 US Dollars).

[streetrulez]

@JoeyRocksTheBass There's no tricks in playing music, you practice.

[JoeyRocksTheBass]

@streetrulez but there are techniques to get better faster O___o

[streetrulez]

@JoeyRocksTheBass Which you develop through practice, that wouldn't be the definition of trick :)

[masonmonster]

hey man what tuning do you use to play this?

[2scrimble9]

@masonmonster Think all Spawn songs are B standard

[masonmonster]

@2scrimble9 they play that well tuned to b standard

[Mymadness88]

hi man, one question, for 3 fingers playing how do you do ? right- middle- leff-middle- right... and so on ?

[bajskung]

@Mymadness88 ring - middle -point = 3-2-1 . or , pinky - ring - middle - point = 4-3-2-1.

[Mymadness88]

@bajskung 3-2-1-3-2-1... ? i was trying 3-2-1-2-3-2-1... but it's more difficult .

[Klasharx3x]

@bajskung Woohiofjdjsafdisfoiasd awesome that hellllped me sooo much!!! thank you bitch

[Dick3ClarkAss]

I read the interview for Erlend Caspersen on Rivers of Gore and it says that one of his favorite bands of all time is Spawn Of Possession..... It must be awesome to play in one of your favorite bands... I only dream of playing bass for Spawn Of Possession

[kmortk]

That bass-cover actually got me into SOP and made me buy the album Noctambulant.

[ezmo776]

damn man, you make that bass grove! i can only play that sweeping part by taping the whole thing on my bass.

[basstard013]

FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, little hand stretch 2:25. Fingers need fresh cool blood.

[nathan565]

[Haydizle1]

[bajskung]

@Haydizle1 yup

[haggis325]

@bajskung oh my god!

You play bass for my favorite band and i didnt realise, I salute you.

How come i cannot find your cd's near me. in england you are unknown.

[CordylusRhodesianus]

@bajskung Kalmar bo! De ska va hultsfred! Vi hade ju gates of metal!

[bajskung]

@CordylusRhodesianus hæ? 

[CordylusRhodesianus]

@bajskung filosofi är en sort filosofi om något filosofiskt som fil

[amierdolo]

hahah lol @ 0:53

[william10212]

fucking amazing my brotha!!!

[NzXII]

how long u are playing bass ?

[mrhensonandmrhartzog]

what kind of presets do you use from cubase, do you use a mac when recording, I do and I cant get bass tone anywhere near as good as yours

[bajskung]

@mrhensonandmrhartzog Mac or PC doesn`t matter, the software\hardware is the same, only difference is the OS, which doesn`t have any impact on your sound. i use nuendo 4 with an ampeg SVX plugin through a sansamp bassdriver DI box. that`s it. settings are about 50\50.

[BrandonThorp]

@bajskung Would you be willing to share your presets on ampeg or tell me your setting please?!

[bajskung]

@BrandonThorp its all just 50\50. nothing special.

[BrandonThorp]

@bajskung what amp/ cab do you use for ampeg svt and so they are 50/50

[Chainsaw0abortion666]

Wow. I've been playing for about 14 years now I can honestly say that I am truly impressed. That shit looks like so much fun to play

[TheLowerAngel]

Fucking rightous!

[WarwickWHORE]

What kind of sweeps are you doing?

[bajskung]

@WarwickWHORE do they come in different genres/types/flavors now ,all of a sudden?

[dreamtheaterz28]

@bajskung Lmao it wouldnt suprise me dude. Next thing you know, there will be Twililght sweeps. AHH SNAP I JUST DID AN EDWARD! AWWW SHIT NO YOU DIDNT! CUZ YOU KNOW I DO JACOBS ALL DAY!

[Headbanger9000]

@bajskung Wow incredible bass playing man, you play for a really excellent band. I'm a bass player myself and i play a lot of tech death stuff too but how do you do those sweeps and how do you keep your forearm from tightening up, especially live??

[MarekRetardProd]

o.O

[FaustOrFamine]

Do it again with better lighting! Seriously though...Erlend, you are hands down THE best metal bassist out there...and probably the busiest one too, lol.

P.S. More Blood Red Throne vids please. "The Light, The Hate" is my personal request.

Cheers!

[gangrener]

realy fucking! AWESOME COVER DUDE!!!! REALY!!! O.O

[Jorvas25]

fucking awesooooooooooooooooooooooome!­

[CannibalisticZombie]

every time i watch this video i have to laugh at how ridiculous you have made this song. your one of my biggest influences man, cant wait for the new Spawn album.

[punkgothrocker]

Wow I can only sweep on guitar. Bass is impossible.

[jockemkniven]

ahh! snyggt spelat bajskungen!:)

[SeanHart213]

that part starting at 00:55 with the sweeps

i don't think Dewerud did that, especially cuz he played with a pick lol that was a nice touch though

[bajskung]

well, i the old bass lines are pretty straight, so I thought i`d mix it up a bit. Most of this song differs from what Dewerud orignially played.

[SeanHart213]

oh dude if anything the song is even sicker than before haha

[sesspleftocore]

@bajskung probly cause you rape the bass

[Kajun666]

WOW, thats all i got to say........WOW !

[donlyayrton]

ever thought why he can play the songs so well? He's SPAWN'S NEW BASSIST. Awesome job dude, really clean playing and great technique!

[EmperorOfTheory]

You are fucking sick.
