Metallica-All Nightmare Long (Bass Only!!)

[wdowa94]

Thats made with fingers (without middle part)?

[666pickupstickz]

@isThis4Entertainment i know. it doesnt even have that clarity that a pick has but thats what rob said in the making of death magnetic documentary

[666pickupstickz]

he used a pick from 6:20 to 6:58 to make the bass sound more clear

[IsThis4Entertainment]

@666pickupstickz it doesn't sound like a pick, it doesn't have the attack that a pick has.

[GrungeMetalRocker]

@666pickupstickz

Kirk said he uses his thumbnail sometimes also as a pick.

[FleshStarvingBass]

@NorthFulton88 Umm, really? I think I've heard (in some video) he said pick isn't his way to play. But you're right I guess.

[gurulomajom]

Huu nagyon kemény torzítás van rajta!!

[lreyay]

rob can play faster and more accurate with his fingers than jason could with a pick

[metalzombiebass]

wait still with all that distortion and gain you cant heard it at the original track?....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[conradsz]

What I hate about DM is that the bass basically follows the guitars. Very unimaginative. To have a bassist like Trujillo and not use his skills fully is a shame.

[renegarciamoreno]

@conradsz You can hear it because of the fucking loudness war on the album, it sucks, well the mixing not the songs!!!

[mario1136]

@conradsz I totally agree. Cliff and Jason always made basslines of their own. Rob may be the most skilled, but he's not as creative as Jason and Cliff

[FleshStarvingBass]

@conradsz It's not like bassist isn't creative, but it can be aswell pressure from a band or producer. I have the same problem sometimes, "they" just want me to play easier stuff or just to follow guitar line.

[conradsz]

@FleshStarvingBass that's exactly what I said

[mrghostnzl]

@conradsz Yeah after being able to hear the bass this kinda bugs me too.

[TiecastProductions]

@NorthFulton88 yea i know man, i was talking about jason at the time i posted this comment.

[wdowa94]

How did you remastered this song?

[TheCrescentFox]

@wdowa94 I believe many people get copies of the master tracks by ripping them off from like Guitar Hero, which were needed in case the player misses a note then only one instrument sounds as if though it is wrong... in theory, it should be as simple as opening and copying the files... anyone, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

[kanupow]

PLIZZZ ANSWEER !!! what is this bass efect ??

[DJTrijallic]

@kanupow This effect is just a bunch of distortion/gain all the way turned up.

[NejiHyuga900]

@alexydark5597 - Blame the person who extracted this song from a Guitar Hero DLC pack.

[jackassTM]

i can hear james voice XD

[vladjarca]

@Czechmetallica 2 albums:St Anger and Death Magnetic.Anyway,Rob rules.He only uses fingers

[Czechmetallica]

@vladjarca eh... St.Anger rocorded Bob Rock

[immortalfastthrash]

Robert is faster than Cliff with the fingers. NOT better, but faster. WAAAAYYYY faster.

[999N0t3str34k]

robert is some bassist. not as great as cliff was but still great :D

[KISSAceGenePaulPete1]

6,666th viewer :D

[CoolCoverBro]

listen to ajfa on bass, jason is obviously a better bassist.

[TiecastProductions]

@CoolCoverBro what is there to listen? yea its great and all, but he uses a pick. not saying picks are bad, but finger picking is far more difficult when picking fast

[CoolCoverBro]

@TiecastProductions That is like saying Dave Lombardo is the best drummer because he hit the bass drums fast, it comes down to technicality, and innovation, something I just don't see in Rob.

[kmd29]

@TiecastProductions This is all fingering, no picking...

[TiecastProductions]

@kmd29 no dude... i was talking about Jason at the time, he was complaining about the AJFA album, I know Rob uses fingers

[tokemon1994]

Ugh Trujillo's such a talented bass player...I just wish you could hear him...=(

[elpelotero]

His sense of groove is unreal

[thekiller666ish]

you can clearly hear the drum track, the guitar track and the vocals in the background. sorry for my bad engligh

[thekiller666ish]

you can clearly hear the drum track, the guitar track and the vocals in the background

[andredacus3]

faster than battery and fight fire with fire

[GatoJavii]

without dislikes!! yeah!

[LTChaosLT]

@GatoJavii sadly .... not anymore....

[TheZombini]

Makes my legs feel all weird, and my windows are rattling.

[Cocorikot]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick :D

[biggy531]

i really am expecting that when they are playing his hands would ignite into flames and he will keep on playing

[RafaGeass]

sometimes I think i can hear lars drums

[biggy531]

@RafaGeass i can hear james singing

[TheMetalhead963]

@biggy531 i can hear all the band lol

[biggy531]

@TheMetalhead963 oh yeah the bass plays over the guitar

[basslovak]

what effects is he using? distortion and what else?

[101CEEJAY]

Did anyone else jizz in there pants at 0:59 cause I did

[IhqBassPlayer]

is he really playing with fingers ;D

[ajrapps]

@IhqBassPlayer this song is played by pick. most of the album was fingers though and very impressive. he only used a pick on 3 of the songs i think

[IhqBassPlayer]

@ajrapps what are the two other songs?

[ajrapps]

@IhqBassPlayer Judas Kiss I think he does on a couple parts, same for My Apocalypse.

[spursfan210able]

@ajrapps

When they play this song live he plays with his fingers.

[careypricefan11]

@spursfan210able Your right, I've seen them live.

"His fingers are the pick" - James Hetfield

It was an amazing concert!!! ROCK ON \m/

[CBRHurricane6]

@spursfan210able yea, but he used a pick in the studio......im trying to get my fingers this fast, ive got a ways to go LOL GO ROB!!!!!

[JollyJollyJoseph]

@IhqBassPlayer Its Rob, he probably is

[hitman036]

Huh. I always thought the main riff at the beginning was bass.

[RiKaRdO956MetallicA]

Nobody have heard a bass like that since Cliff

[METTAALLIICA]

three finger picking awesome

[bunnyguy123]

does anyone know his distortion settings?

[bassgituitar74]

tried this song it's almost imposible

[caramon770]

@bassgituitar74 How were you playing? Pick or fingers?

[bassgituitar74]

@caramon770

wow this was a while a go now I Can play it i play it whit finger and it works

[caramon770]

@bassgituitar74 o ok haha. I didn't find it too bad. there was a couple spots where i had to resort to three fingers though. But overall, I enjoy this bassline

[brontosaurious]

@bassgituitar74 With Pick everything is impossible :D

[demon91]

The mix on DM fucking RAPES Roger on this song. I honestly had no idea of that shit going on in the verse.

[DROPLULpp]

THE BEST. bass kills everyone

[Fontoxx]

that bass distortion cuts the skin from your body

[demon91]

@Fontoxx

Agreed. And fuck, I just called him "Roger." Whoops.

[youathoz]

@Fontoxx and gives you 3rd degree burns.(:

[Jah3l]

[MrMastergun]

@Jah3l estoy deacuerdo con eso trujillo es unico

[lellozep]

Esecuzione impeccabile Teskius...grande basso !!! finalmente sono riuscito a sentir cantare un basso di tutto rispetto. Non conosco il musicista ma gli faccio tanti complimenti .
