amazing cover

[Allmanfan456]

@theycalledmebob Thanks! I want to re do this song eventually. Today actually I've been looking at the song again. I've been doing a lot wrong. Hopefully the next video of this song will be better. :)

[SatanicTemptation]

5:05 he surprised himself ! haha great job man

[GabrixBassMan]

what is your gear?

[Allmanfan456]

@GabrixBassMan MY bass is a Geddy Lee jass bass modified with new pick ups and a hipshot. On this video it doesn't have the new pick ups I have in it now. And as for my tone I'm using a Line 6 tone port. It's pretty much a digital amplifier. It's pretty sweet.

[Humamibrahem]

fuckin gooddddd

[Allmanfan456]

@Humamibrahem Thank you! I want to re do this one eventually. I'm doing quite a bit wrong actually.

[6ftUnder92592]

ALISOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Allmanfan456]

@6ftUnder92592 Hahaha. Gotta love Annihilator.

[priestordeath]

very good job man!annihilator is one of a few metal bands with an amazing and difficult bass!if you want to expand your technique learn it with fingers!stay heavy!

[Allmanfan456]

@priestordeath Thanks man! I love Annihilator's bass lines, they are always really really good. And I perfere pick style to fingers, especially with metal. I play with fingers with classic rock and stuff that needs a warm tone. But pick is just the way I play and there's no way I could learn Annihilator songs or metal songs in general with my fingers. So in short I only play pick style with metal, fingers for other genres.

[Allmanfan456]

@priestordeath Oh and you stay heavy too man! Thanks for your kind words.

[lmalc8273]

Hey, there's no Human Insecticide bass covers on Youtube yet... hint hint.

[Allmanfan456]

@lmalc8273 Oh? Well I think I can change that.

[lmalc8273]

Nice work. Always loved the bass in that song. You lose points for using the Fingerless Gloves of Bass Playing +1 though.

[Allmanfan456]

@lmalc8273 Yeah me too man, great bass, Wayne Darley rules at bass, and I actually have a reason for them I'm not using them to be bad ass or cool or anything, I hate saying this but I have carpal tunnel in both hands and these gloves help ease it, there infrared gloves and help ease the swelling when I'm playing. If I don't play with them I cramp up easier. If it were up to me I wouldn't wear the damn things, but hey anything to help overcome it right?

[lmalc8273]

@Allmanfan456 Ah hey man, sorry for assuming you were wearing the gloves for emo effect. I've got even more respect for you to play like that with your condition.

BTW I was under the impression that Jeff Waters actually played the bass on the album and Wayne was just the touring bassist.

Oh yeah, first time I heard these guys was when they opened for Testament back for the PWYP album. Picked up the CD the next day.

Keep it up.

[Allmanfan456]

@lmalc8273 Oh it's okay I've been expecting comments like those. I wouldn't wear them for emo effect. I'd rather not wear them but they help my condition. And thanks man I'm not gonna let this get in my way.

I believe Wayne Darley did, if anything I think Jeff did the bass on Alison Hell and Wayne did the rest of the songs. Oh damn Annihilator and Testament? That's really sick! I almost saw Testament with Heaven and hell and Judas Priest but I ran late. I want to see Annihilator one day.

[JCASHrip]

He sure does! I plan on covering more songs, like "Word Salad", "Imperiled Eyes", and hopefully "The Fun Palace". All those songs are rad! Keep up the shredding dude. You rock.

[Allmanfan456]

@JCASHrip Yeah I plan to do Imperiled Eyes eventually, thats really hard. And I'm tryingto learn all of Alison Hell so eventually I'll tackle Word Salad. I'm hoping to have Phantasmagoria up soon and hopefully W.T.Y.D. too. You keep it up too man! You rock also.

[JCASHrip]

Nice bass cover man! If you live in the states, we need to jam! Check out my guitar cover of both songs and tell me what you think.

[Allmanfan456]

@JCASHrip I do live in the states, and thanks man. I just checked them out, damn good man! Crystal Ann sounds pretty hard and playing Annihilator is alone a task and the solos too. Jeff Waters knows how to write a solo.

[Ryzzix]

That's an awesome cover!!

I really enjoyed listening to the bass line and you completely nailed the sound.

Could you please give a link to tabs, or send 'em?

[Allmanfan456]

@Ryzzix Thanks man! I don't have updated tabs but if you give me a little while I'll work something out for you and send them to you. Warning I don't really stick true to the original line, I add my own fills in and have fun with it. Do you want me to tab out the original bass line for you?

[Allmanfan456]

@Ryzzix Oh no problem, I'll try my best to get it to you soon. I'll do the original version for ya and a rough outline of it so you can add fills yourself.
