They're both masters. Playing fast riffs on bass is brutal on the fingers, arms and neck. Megadeth still rocks, as does Marty, off doing his own thing. Hope they're all around for a long time. They've given me a lot of musical enjoyment over the years (not to mention tendonitus trying to master their riffs).
Sometimes finger playing bass players look really dork. Sharper attack and presence on a pick. Nothing wrong with it. Hell I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and I cannot play without a pick. Do what works.
Damn am I the only one who thinks that Marthy Friedman looks a lot like Kirk Hammett when he was young with such a long hair :D I mean take a look at him in '89 and see what I'm talking about xD
@sonnic1995 Les Claypool and Victor Wooten have to take the lead for slap bass, there, man. XD They are amazing bassists! I agree with your logic though, there is no "traditional" bass-playing method.
@sonnic1995 From personal preference as a primary guitar player, I actually use fingers and I have been introducing myself to slap (It's HARD XD) but I don't shun people for using the pick. I'm not gonna say "Use your fingers, you'll be more legit." I use my fingers because I like the sound it has and it's weird for me using a pick with a bass lol. It all comes down to personal preference.
@sonnic1995 David Ellefson doesn't play slap, he only plays with pick because he chooses, but sometimes he plays with fingers and very well you can see that on foreclosure of a dream video and some live shows from 93-2003
@nemakur there are some videos in the web of ellefson playing solos in megadeth, there is one i think from argentina, and he also do a little tapping, there is another video and he plays with slap
Well, we think pick bassists sucks because Steve DiGiorgio. Steve DiGiorgio. Steve. Fucking. DiGiorgio.
Look, David Ellefson is fucking badass and a fucking awesome bassist, but I don't know any bassist who is so fucking badass good as Steve DiGiorgio. He plays fretless with fingers in his band Sadus, in Death (With Chuck Schuldiner) or Testament. He is so fucking skilled, more skilled than any other bassist I know. He made me start play bass, fretless right on. Look him up.
@sonnic1995 Because Cliff had the gift of the Gods, Cliff had amazing talents at his age. David Ellefon made up very cool basslines, but nothing compared to cliff. really.
@HrapovikPlush he dont use slap in songs, but he use it in live improvised solos and before he joined megadeth, there is a couple of videos if him doing slap (old videos)
i have and old vhs of a megadeth show in germany from 89 and david played a solo with slap, there is also a short video from chile and david its playing a solo and he do some slap, but in that concert in germany he do like 1 minute with slap
he also used to play with fingers before join megadeth
sin duda david ellefson y cliff burton son los mejores bajistas de thrash metal en la historia ni jason newsted,robert trujillo, tom araya ni ninguno son tanbuenos como ellos!
@leifericson923 i do not want to brag, but this riff is confusing but i have learned it in few minuts. its's very repeatable when you look at your fingers :)
@MsCM93 yeah, it's not so much the technicality, it's that I prefer to learn songs by ear so when I first heard that part it sounded million notes being played at once.
Its just a bunch of tools who have bot accounts that go around automatically downvote anything that isnt shitny spears, garbage gaga or R.etards A.ttempting P.oetry
@flaphead325 Chances are that those aren't MG series micro-stacks, being that the series wasn't out around '90 or '91. Those are likely the Lead 12 micro-stacks.
