Frank Bello - Anthrax Got The Time - Bass Guitar Performance - Bass Clinic 2011

[aassyr1111]

his right hand are like a turbo engine :p

[sebsoriano19]

Why can't I find the Frank Bello basses on the fender site anymore?

[aassyr1111]

@sebsoriano19 they are discontinued man.

[sebsoriano19]

@aassyr1111 fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck:( is he still endorsing Fender at least?:(

[aassyr1111]

@sebsoriano19 amps and squire basses . unfortunately no fender basses or at least as i know his signature model was discontinued

[sebsoriano19]

@aassyr1111 I still see him using nothing but his fenders though, and I think they discontinued the squiers too. I don't see them either

[aassyr1111]

@sebsoriano19 that does not mean he would stop using the bass that was made fro him :)

i am not sure about the squiers, i remember last month i went to an official fender dealer here in malaysia, they have it and his posters all over the place. not really, just 2 or 3 posters lol

[sebsoriano19]

@aassyr1111 I have a feeling that every other Asian country has better stocks of Fender and Squier basses except for here in the Philippines. Haha. I've never actually seen his basses in the flesh

[aassyr1111]

@sebsoriano19 man trust me it has nothing special . just like vintage modified series. but the design is way too cool and the frets are bigger thats all

[22FretsIsNotEnough]

@sebsoriano19 He's with ESP/LTD now, he has a signature model with them.

[sebsoriano19]

@22FretsIsNotEnough yeah. I saw. I was really happy and disappointed at the same time when I saw it. haha

[petpet691821]

0:16 is playback, is fake

[ghostyman666]

Even so. He is not really that great of a bassist. he was good. When I listen to Orion. It's good. But it's nothing for me to jump up and down over becuase it's some fancy thing. When I hear him I don't get all amazing like I do when I listen to Victor Wooten. That guy knows how to play. All cliff was, was a guitar player with a bass who added distortion to make it sound cool.

[quigonjean]

why is it with "best bassist"? there's no such things as "the best" in music. Billy Sheehan is great, and so is Les Claypool, and Flea, and Jeroen Paul Thesseling, and Sting, and many more, and of course, Frank Bello. I love them all

[kyusama347]

him and rob should have had a bass off

[TheEscalofrio]

Cliff Burton or David elfson or Frank bello ...rob trujillo hell no

[kyusama347]

@TheEscalofrio Oh come on, dont rip on rob. I dont like how metallica is now as much as the next guy, but i like rob. Jason was also an awesome bassist.

[TheEscalofrio]

@kyusama347 hmm fine but Cliff Burton was the best period ... BELL BOTTOMS RULE

[AaronThrashingMad]

Frank is the best thrash bassist. Ever.

[Darkit2099]

Frank is definitelly the fasted bass player in the big four. Probably one of the best still living. H'es the only one I thinkj is able to rival Cliff Burton in the realm of thrash. I wanna be as badass as them both one day!

[RockAndCoal]

fuck appendicitis making me miss sonisphere :c

[ANIMAL988]

he's like the steve harris of thrash XD

[wyldefan716]

look who's bass is in the backround....Dave Elefson??

[mihailupu23]

belive that Steve Harris from Miden kicks them all!

[losferword]

@mihailupu23 Its Maiden, but yeah he own every other metal bassist.

[dalejr88and8]

@losferword Steve Harris kicks ass, Amazing bass intro on Blood on the World's Hands.

[harryex2006]

Trujillo is good, but Bello is the man, respect it

[Squall6575]

Frankie is better than cliff..i dont know how it wouldve been had cliff lived till now..maybe he wouldve been better..but cliff has done more for lead bass playing than most other bassists because his groundbreaking use of wah, distortion, tapping etc

[Nightwishfann]

I like four bass players "at the top" of thrash metal: Frank Bello (because of his speed and catchi bass), Greg Christian from Testament because of his heavy slapping, David Ellefson because he shows that playing with a pick ain't bad and of course Cliff Burton for who he was!

[xDoppler44x]

is he playing with 3 or with 2 fingers? i'm not sure but i think it's two..?

[AndrewAdkins911]

I caught the pic he used for the intro at a show in Germany and I about shit my self when I caught it.

[Hidan270]

frankie's better than cliff........and im a bassist

[sebsoriano19]

@Hidan270 i almost agree with you

[Hidan270]

@sebsoriano19 i mean ya there's the whole "for whom the bell tolls" intro solo and they all have their own individual strengths and weakness's

but overall i gotta say frankie's got a bit more than cliff does.....although they're both amazing there's no arguing that haha

[sebsoriano19]

@Hidan270 When I'm thinking technical ability I may go with Frankie, but Orion was pretty sick, and Cliff did die early. John Paul Jones is my bass god though.

[UnafraidCookie]

what the fuck was so great about cliff? all of you fanboys troll about him, just becuase he fucking died

[BenK8319]

Best Anthrax song :D

[cliffthelightning]

@BenK8319 It's a cover

[BenK8319]

@cliffthelightning Indeed it is, but all the same :D

[drtyfknmouth]

Chickens in my HEEEED!

[soundboy3]

Love it... I didn't know Anthrax covered a Joe Jackson tune! very cool :)

[iba777vai]

rip dimebag lol



[mariokris22]

i bet women's pussies love his finger

[Darkit2099]

That bass solo gives me goosebumps. Shows you don't have to be wicked retarded and fast to play badass solos on bass. There's not many bass players with talent like this still alive. I wanna be as fast as this dude someday

[mikemetallicafull]

kickass because is playing with fingers

[Darkit2099]

Frank Bello's such a kick ass bassist

[bvried]

Lol This is definately my favorite Anthrax song.

[chillichomper]

Why is this guy doing a Joe Jackson song????!!!!

[Darkit2099]

@chillichomper Because Joe Jackson is awesome

[pootinhammer]

i wish there was an "I FUCKING LOVE THIS" button

[HurricaneTBag]

The guys in Anthrax easily aged the best out of the Big Four, well Frank and Charlie aged the best, I'd say. Lombardo looks pretty good for his age, but I'd still give the edge to the non-Scott Ian rhythm section in Anthrax.

Scott's still an awesome rhythm guitarist.

[SonicBlast190Prod]

@HurricaneTBag Joey doesn't look so good now, though. But yeah, Frank doesn't look a day over 30.

[sebastianwade]

Una persona no se ha dado cuenta que Frank Bello toca muy BELLO.....

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

im pretty sure at the end in the centre that is joel grahm,the bassist for evile inthe audience LOL

[teragonisbeast1]

pwned!

[emiliolanceabbott]

Best Bassist on the Big 4

[juampialarcon]

@emiliolanceabbott naw, cliff was

[emiliolanceabbott]

@juampialarcon Best Bassist on the Big 4 alive (:

[juampialarcon]

@emiliolanceabbott now ur good lol

[XxMETALLICAFAN9xX]

@emiliolanceabbott id say rob of metallica is the best

[00bav123]

@emiliolanceabbott Since Cliff is unfortunately no longer with us, then yes.

[osto97]

@emiliolanceabbott if the bassist that have been in one of the big four bands are you wrong, the best is Cliff Burton !

[sasukeuchihalb]

@emiliolanceabbott ma have to stick with david ellefson on that one.

[Motorheadbanger93]

@emiliolanceabbott I wouldn't say best. Trujillo's got him beat. Metallica really limit what he can do. Look up some of his solos with his funk/punk/rock band Infectious Grooves.

[MetalWarrior95]

@Motorheadbanger93 Frankie kicks Trujillo's ass

[metallicaddict13]

@emiliolanceabbott trujillo is

[YellowBazz]

@emiliolanceabbott Alive, 'couse cliff burton was the real deal :D

[ghostyman666]

@YellowBazz PFFFFT. Cliff? C'mon. IDK why but that guy get too much credit. All he did was use assload after assload of distortion to cover up his sloppy technique. And had no grove either. I say It's a tie Between David Ellefson and Frank Bello.

Orion < Dawn Patrol. A song that had grove in it. While Orion just had a bunch of distortion growing louder as the song continued on. Fuck cliff.

[SaveIggy]

@ghostyman666 I wanna strangle you... but you're entitled to your opinion.

[ghostyman666]

@SaveIggy You know it's true.

[SaveIggy]

@ghostyman666 I believe it isn't.

[ghostyman666]

@SaveIggy It sure is. Just adding distortion doesn't make you good.

[SaveIggy]

@ghostyman666 True, but he didn't just add distortion.

[ghostyman666]

@SaveIggy I know. But man, they sure tuned down the bass on the tracks.

[SaveIggy]

@ghostyman666 If that's even true, what's that go to do with him being a good bassist or not?

[aassyr1111]

@emiliolanceabbott haha robert is

[Zip2461996]

@emiliolanceabbott true and one of the best in thrash generally

[TheSantanaLee]

XD it cracked me up so much to see that the view counter said "1 views" while over 22 people obviously saw this

[IBigIManDixon]

Does his bass say R.I.P Dimebag on it or is it just me?

[MrStevie5050]

@IBigIManDixon it does indeed respect!

[drtyfknmouth]

@IBigIManDixon Yep, that's what it says. \m/,

[PureRecklessness]

@IBigIManDixon, Yep. R.I.P Dime.

[razrX]

great tune!!! miss the old days...:( only pussybands nowadays...

[DiogoAlmeida95]

YEAH! Frank Bello is the shit! are you gonna post all of the Big 4 bassists performing?

[fatalbert51888]

@DiogoAlmeida95 they cant cliff burton is dead

[DiogoAlmeida95]

@fatalbert51888 but robert is still alive

[fatalbert51888]

@DiogoAlmeida95 id rather they get jason. nothing against rob, hes awesome, but cliff is the reason metallica is big and he joined them to fill a position. just my opinion

[ApathethicJustice]

@DiogoAlmeida95 only david and frank played this time at bass clinics

[Humanius93]

This is sick! Raping that bass in public?!? D:

[ingo007]

@Humanius93 Nott funny if you tried...

[Humanius93]

@ingo007 cry me a river wont you

[ingo007]

@Humanius93 Why sould I?

[Left4Duel]

I called the police and flagged this video, that bass isn't 18 years old!

Incredible performance!
