ive just got myself a peavey zodiac bxp dave ellefson signature bass and when used to play this iconic bass riff it totaly rocks...its a really meaty bass for the money( £250 new or about £100 second hand)..allthough dave used a bc rich to record this song originally you can get real close to that tone using the peavey and a half descent amp..AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH USING A PICK..a real bassist can use pick or fingers depending on what type of tone you require..anyway cool video ROCK ON.
Thanks you! This guy who showed me some bass stuff said if I use a pick that means I'm cheating and I'm not really playing. He said real bassists are good enough they only need their fingers
Becasuse of that, i am planning to buy a base guitar. thanks man, i'll see you in heaven, doing base solos and drink softdrinks or hard drinks, you choose. RIP.
@ragnaroksama Yeah, it's just so damn unfortunate. Great bassist, and from what I've seen of some of his other videos, he seemed like a real nice guy.
@RotnRoll77 he inspired me to learn iron maiden songs cuz his videos made it look so awesome and happy and i always used to watch it and pass it to my friends... man i had no idea :/
@PanekPL lol your such a weak, he just added his own touch to the song, put some feeling of his own in it, what most people cant do anymore today, unless you can prove yourself and even, you will never be able to get a single pourcent of the talent this guy had,so stop hating to people who know how to play and go listen to mainstream pop shit like bieber, like you probably do
I've been playing bass for 7 years now, and I'm also preparing to start a bass cover channel in a few months (getting my gear together) like this talentless idiot, and when that happens, you will be one of the first people that I'll notify.
there is no such thing as "feeling of his own" when recording a video onto YouTube that's supposed to show that you can play a song properly. nothing wrong with a little improvisation here and there, but completely fucking up the riff? gtfo
@PanekPL men are you deaf or what? he doesnt even fuck up the riff and if he had wanted to play it properly he would have do it without a single mistake, and by the way 7 years doesnt make you any better than other, people with only 1 or 2 years playing can play better than other players with 5 years or more of experience
@fulfillthecreed no, he fucks it up. here's the bass track by itself: watch?v=Sw2KvCb71hc - have a listen, compare it to his playing. I could break it down to writing the tab for you, but I guess it's pointless to argue with a fanboy
@PanekPL Are you that morally barren to spit on somebodys grave because he not did play to your standards? This guy was a effing scientist, he played bass as hobby! and you know what else, I thought the bassline for the original song was completely bare! This guy played how he wanted to play, im sorry you have your bass shoved so far up your bunghole you forgot what the music is all about. YOU FEEL IT YOU ARROGANT ASS, JUST AS HE DID!
@PanekPL I play bass, and i can play everything from ZZ Top to Sabbath! The reason why i wrote that because you say "good thing he died, he sucked anyway. uploading yourself onto YouTube without even knowing how to play the main bass line properly? what a disgrace" I saw no problem with his line except for a few missed notes, and he sure as hell ripped that song a new one, i mean seriously, what were you thinking when you wrote that?
@valleMECHATRONICS Yeah i know at first i was confused why the recent comments were saying RIP. So i decided to browse through the old comments and many stated that this man is dead. What a loss of a great bass player, RIP...
I bought my first bass a month ago and I love it. I started watching bass covers on youtube and found yous. Gotta love the 80s metal bands. You are amazing
hey guys, i just started playing bass and there is a LOT of arguments about using a pick or not. I play thrash and other heavy genres of metal. What do you guys think? Pick or fingers?
