[Zinkeyfiy]

Awesome cover, awesome to see someone else who fell in love with Biffy after seeing them play a show. I hadn't heard much of their music prior to seeing them live, saw them supporting Foo Fighters last summer and as much as I loved the show Foo put on I went away with Biffy songs stuck in my head :p, been a big fan ever since.

Awesome band would love to see some more covers.

[claff564]

Best Bassist on youtube :)

[XXchanseyXX]

what are you talking about your way better than Biffy Clyro !!!!

[RaynosFAA777]

Man i love the sound of bass being played with a pick, awesome cover :)

[alvecid]

Where I can find this tab to learn to play? please

[Bassdesk]

You look like Liam Cromby from We Are The Ocean XD!

[denwerk]

what i love so much about this song is not only the fact that i jizzed but that you're really enjoying playing it. i hate seeing people play with emotionless faces...gloomy fucks! awesome cover :)

[janithemani]

@denwerk

Some people feel music inside and dont feel the need of expressing it by making faces, its enough for them to feel it inside....

[DonkeyDownDitch]

heyyy, great cover!1 you probably get this a lot but do you use tabs or figure out by ear? like i say probs get asked that a lot but theres far to many coments to search threw! lol thanks :)

[joshpasley123]

Has someone ever told you look like Jay from The Inbetweeners?

[ValentinK1]

please give me tabs of this song. its just awesome

i try to look what youre playing but it took me 20 minutes just for the first 6 bars -.-

[OdcedzamMakaron]

How thick is a pick? LOL, what a rhyme ;p

[SLASHTHEGUITARIST123]

haha, loving the tags man

[Blazinthetrails350]

4 people, do not have sympathy for his girlfriend.....

[karamuH]

is that a musicman stingray?

[tjruler102]

@karamuH yes

[FunnyMovieMonster]

@madspoonful Turn the treble down and the tone knob on your bass :P

[MisterJWills]

Please email me your tab! <3 Played it beautifully!

[Dempsmeister]

beautiful bass!!! and beautiful playing!!!! what's the tuning for this song?? How does he get such a meaty sound at the "i am a mountain" part? it sounds so thick! drop d is it??

[Sublime3491]

@Dempsmeister Drop Db!

[perfectdisasterband]

@Sublime3491 it's is drop Db but it's called Drop C# just fyi.

[jewfroman123]

yo you are awesome i love all of your videos

i love the way you improvise parts with lyrics and no bass

i commented on you "living is a problem " video asking if you could tab out the parts without lyrics and was just wondering if you could do the same for this vidoe at te begging with the lyrics up until 0:20

thanks alot keep it up :D

[karamuH]

you are an amazing and i use you videos as a lot of insperation, oh yey is the flea bass worth the buy because ive got a gibson thunderbird iv and i want a bass that sounds great for slap although the thunderbird sounds great slapping i just want a guitar designed for slap, so is it worth buying the flea bass? many thanks cyber high 5!!

[SimFullBass]

Salut David, j'ais vu a peut près tout tes covers et je n'ais pas vu Aeroplane des Red Hots que j'aime a fond, donc, si tu vois ce com' tu pourrais peut être le faire, enfin on s'en tape continue !!!!!

[louisgoodmusic]

[Jordo1900]

I actually went on my computer just to see this

[SingStarGB]

You are incredible at bass from what I can see here, and from what I can see in the title, you're awesome cuz you like Biffy Clyro :D

[FoolsLikeLove]

Love how into this you get dude! Way to play!

'MON THE BIFFY!

[Jordo1900]

your the greatest bassist that i've ever seen on youtube you can play anything on your bass and just make it sound amazing

P.S: 'MON THE BIFFY!!!! =D

[CharGuitarGirl]

I think this song sounds better with a pick, it has more attack, the best players will use both ;)

[Serotonintv]

MON THE BIFF!!!!!

[fingertoes]

you're a great bassist! now do "that golden rule"! :D

[AlvaroBassSide]

they're still very few times xD

[mrdaanvm]

[VIince93]

T'es juste Énorme mec, je t'ai découvert y a pas mal de temps deja et je me lasse pas du tout de tes covers, ta vraiment un don, un feeling incroyable. Continu, j'espere que t'ira loin, avec ton groupe ou en solo. :D

(J'en profite pour appuyer la demande de Fixxthe :P Le français ne doit pas se perdre ! :o) )

[luke70333]

any chance of a tab?

[MCarlson89]

this song rocks my face off

[ThePaparoachfan4ever]

[TheBass1334]

[moetrack]

f****** great dude :D, please make more covers like this one here ;)

[santiago121090]

Amazing, if you can do the cover of The captain, i thinck you can do it awesome ;)

[eltuzo466]

Im the mountain im the sea(8)

you cant take that away from me(8)

the pick "tics" sound so badass on this one.

[somebassdude]

Três bon fait! Tes covers sont toujours les plus superbes sur le net! Hope that was good :P Don't mind my spelling, I'm Dutch XD

[kassino16]

is a good song on bass, and bass that I want to buy soon.

e David, I admire their musicianship, you have evolved a lot over here for two years.

just wanted to know, this cube you use is Marshall?

and if you give me the speech model, the series, this bass please ..

even more ..

[jagheterzack]

this actually puts you in a better light to me, 'cause you're got the balls to use a pick when it gives the best sound, instead of always using fingers so some stupid ass kid won't come with some commentary in style with "Pick shit bassplayer! GIF TAB!"

[lusteraliaszero]

@jagheterzack yeah, in fact, the more different experiences you let yourself have, the better a musician you will be, different perspectives like playing with picks, or playing different instruments will make you develop faster as a musician.

[cavmantheshort]

did you tune down all the strings by a half step? or just the E?

[madspoonful]

how do get such a crunchy sound without getting finger movement scratch on the strings?

[paleceumacolneta]

@madspoonful Welcome to the MusicMan Bass' World ;] !

[Justincog]

@madspoonful the secret is called a MusicMann Bass ;)

[paleceumacolneta]

@madspoonful That's what u get when u buy the best bass in word! Thank you, MusicMan!

[bellers]

hey man, love the covers!! listen, hav deep kick got an album out that a can get ma hands on?

[TheTopshizzle]

clearley and uterly fanomanal dude r u even big yet?

[derWahreSirRichfield]

could you make a cover of Maximum The Hormone - "Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura" ? that would be soo cool =D

[Dandaphne80]

What's the tab for the chorus?

[Powersheeps]

I like ur hair =)

I love this song! Biffydus is good 4u !

Tu me mets même pas une dédicace dans la description? Haha

A demain Pelo!

[basscoverguy]

super bon ton cover david c fou qu'est que ta fait pour l'intro j aimerais bien avoir les tabs :) continue de nous faire vibrer lol :P

[daLom]

YES, you're doing biffy!! i got a crush on this band since i saw them in '09!

puzzle is their best album imho

[Elltrixer]

Disappointing seeing Biffy here, they are so mainstream now D:

[allanqui91]

@Elltrixer creep...who gives if dey are mainstream...dat jus means dey are gud

[Elltrixer]

@allanqui91 English please.....no, it doesn't mean they are good, there's tons of mainstream music that isn't good. Biffy's first two albums are their best, they are one of my favourite bands, it's just very disappointing to see them changing their sounds to suit the pop needs of their label

[allanqui91]

@Elltrixer

[KleneKurze]

I really love it ! :) I can hear it everytime. you're so good. :)

[Zyklunt]

Watching your videos is really boring,,,'coz your playing is so perfect! )))

[3bassclef]

wow, whoa :D

[BasedOnBass91]

Great cover David! Im really glad you're into Biffy now, and I hope some more covers will happen, right? Btw I heared you are on a mini tour with your RHCP tribute band, so was wondering when are you hitting Belgrade? I live in same country, couple hours from it, and since i admired your covers for so long i would really like to see you live! Cheers!

[JordanRLS]

@MrGimperZ It's a Music Man, mate.

[JordanRLS]

As ever, an inspirational cover mate, keep it up.

Can anyone confirm what tuning David is using for this song? I wanna learn it but I need to know the tuning, some sources say it is drop D, whereas others say it is drop D but a further half step down on the E string, can anybody help? :) Thanks.

[BassistGab91]

Superbe cover :)

[efrainthenameless]

what kind of pick you use

it sounds so amazing!

love youre style!

prince of bass!

[ianwlad]

[andriystasyuk]

[elchupirichups]

[nathand612]

[TheOriginalFire93]

GOODDDD YESSS!! I got hooked on this band over the summer!

I was wishing someone would do a cover of one of their songs.. now I can download this cover on my iPod and be at peace lol :D

[4through6strings]

great play,I just wonder how much better you would sound if you did it all without a pick,just a preference choice. big fan of Geddy lee and steve harris keep posting I may pickup a pick sometime.

[DavidSinRocks]

@4through6strings

thanks! I played this song with a pick as a tribute to Biffy Clyro's bass player :)

[4through6strings]

@DavidSinRocks thanks for your reply you just earned a Whole lot of respect from me .kick some bASS!

[cubbienate97]

@DavidSinRocks actually i think the pick sounds great with a bass

[skalewilly]

Great video David!!!

[musickid64]

[bigbore660]

[RipenedPlum93]

[martijn106]

Mon the Biffy!

[nagynorbie]

MusicMan all the way !!

[CruznVette]

Nice man

[FIXXTHE]

Bonjour David,

Tes covers sont toujours aussi bonnes mais je déplore que tes commentaires ne soient plus écrits qu'en anglais. Même si je lis cette langue, je trouve dommage que, nous, les francophones, nous cédions à cette sale manie qui consiste à n'écrire plus qu'en anglais. Pourquoi avoir abandonné la double traduction ?

[DavidSinRocks]

@FIXXTHE

Salut!

J'ai arrêté d'écrire les descriptions de mes vidéos en anglais car 90% de mes vues sont anglophones (comme tu peux le constater) mais aussi parce que parmi les quelques commentaires francophones que je reçois, c'est souvent des critiques infondées..

Mais rien que pour des personnes gentilles, comme toi, je devrais faire un effort et continuer à les écrire.

Alors peut-être que sur ma prochaine vidéo la description sera en anglais et français!

Merci pour le commentaire!

[taira41]

@FIXXTHE Vive la langue de Molière, merci du comentaire!

David tu es génial!

[frederickbenny]

im just learning guitar now...one day ill play awesome enuf to recruit someone like you into my band :D

[BassistNumber2587]

[Greatdevil55]

[daVIdV93z]

hey how do u get that 'plucking' sound out of ur bass?? is it just a clean sound or do u use any pedals???

[UltimateGamer181]

Man I wish there was like a lesson for this or something.. I can't learn by ear yet... I'm trying to follow along but it gets confusing during the chorus.

[ImbowProductions]

Another great cover man! Good job! :)

[Uinb]

Glad you like the Biffy David. If you're ever in Britain (Scotland would be great) i hope to see you play.

[Uinb]

@nachothebassplayer Fail. They're Scottish :)

[jinbo031288]

@nachothebassplayer mate there Scotish acutally!!! not irish!!!!!!

[amazingpony]

you need to come to the States! please!!

[artbasss]

Very stylish track

[wasid13]

i love bass lines like this<3

[volcomscooter29]

do you use a compressor to get everything so even. or do u only use ur compressor when slap

[constantine2112]

Awesome tone. Great playing.

Thanks for sharing.

[ruaridouglas]

No way! Amazing! Makes me proud to be Scottish haha!

[kennypop182]

Tellement agréable pour les oreilles!.... Et sinon, tu vas aussi jouer en suisse avec ton groupe hommage aux RHCP? (si c'est pas déjà fais...)

Ah et Tom Delonge était pas trop bourré à Leeds?.....

[DavidSinRocks]

@kennypop182

Merci ^^

Non, je joue déjà avec mon groupe en Suisse tout le temps, pas besoin du tribute band ici :p

Sinon Tom était excellent à Leeds, tellement marrant!! :D

[kymack17]

C'est du bon David ! C'est du bon :) keep groovin ! ton son tue encore plus au pick mec !

[lallare90]

Wickedly my brother from another mother!

Your pre-eb ray looks so badass!:D

I AM A MOUNTAIN

[niko555666]

Dude, you are Kick ass. I love this band, and this is a cover worthy of their awesomeness :)

[fantinmoreno]

haha la mélodie de chant repiquée au début ;)

Mais mec, comme je kiffe ce band, déjà avant Leeds, mais là c'est IN DA FACE.

T'as repris une des meilleurs de l'album, c'est juste! A quand une reprise de biffy avec WUD!, maintenant qu'on est 3 fans?

Yen a des plus anciennes de Biffy que j'aimerais faire en cover, si ça te branche!

En tous cas bravo, mis à part l'accordage qui je trouve apporte la lourdeur qui manque à peine ici, magnifique reprise. En plus ça entraine ton pick pour Organi'c :D

[bassspecialist]

This is the best cover of this song by far on youtube....well done man...

What cab and amp head are you using?...it's epic to say the least....Biffy are one of my fav bands...C tuning..?

[dontforgetme1992]

@bassspecialist I think the cabs are gallien krueger blx

[GamerLandon]

DAVID WHATEVER U DO A COVER OF MAKE THE SONG MORE POPULAR IN MY EYES

[DanGordon93]

yessssss, what an amazing song choice man !! such a good band .. best album, PUZZLE!!! :P

[youngellefson]

0:55 epic face.

[skotty92]

This is golden, David.

One of the sweetest bass tones I've heard in a long time (old strings, huh?), an awesome track which an interesting timing that I didn't know yet and simply watching a good bass cover again! =)

Man, I wanna go to Leeds, too... But oh well, I saw Blink, can't cuss either...

If you ever, ever come to Germany with Deep Kick or whatever, you gotta shout it out as load as you can, promised?!

[DavidSinRocks]

@skotty92

You got it! These strings are 3 months old (and since I use them a lot, they are REALLY old :P).

Leeds festival is great man, the people out there were awesome and friendly! I saw Blink-182 too!

I would love to come to Germany with Deep Kick, actually I'm gonna come to Germany to play with an RHCP tribute band in November, it's gonna be awesome! :)

Thanks a lot!

[skotty92]

@DavidSinRocks Dude, tell me the dates or where I can find them!

[janicko9]

@DavidSinRocks RHCP tribute band with you? oooooh.. i´d love to see that.. damn! when will you go to slovakia?:D

[Ookarl01]

@DavidSinRocks haha nice, leeds festival was amazing

[xAbsoluteJackx]

I fucking want this tone

[DavidSinRocks]

@JohnEddy123

For sure I do! Thanks man ;)

[bassmanrutter]
