Dave Ellefson - Holy Wars Megadeth - Bass Guitar Performance Bass Clinic 2011

[blasbembi]

best cover in youtube

[mistrbigg]

this video is so you can see how David Ellefson actually played the song on the album.. his goal is to get as close as possible.. and the backing track has no bass track on it.

it cracks me up to see how quickly it becomes a "THIS BAND IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE" argument...

it's a killer bass player playing a track HE played to show ya how, that's it..i wish it was the original mix though.. not the re-issue mix.

[gringer15taringa]

awesome cover man, how long have you been playing?

[RePLeY666]

@gringer15taringa 29 years with Megadeth - priceless

[mistrbigg]

lol

[HenchmanRide]

awsome

[vlmmosto]

jason and cliff beat the crap out of this

cd playing fool on stage

[Stevemcsteve]

Can you turn up the bass?

[mihneaboom]

cool....but anyway,it's David,not Dave...

[SgtZaqq]

@mihneaboom doesn't matter.

[silverbasscross]

More volume... is his amp turned on ?

[BenK8319]

Horns in the air...

[NeverEndingMazeee]

AH SWEET, SWEET Megadeth...I can always hear the bass on the Album versions of your songs :)

[MrRafaelXtreme]

esse toca muito!

[jaom912]

i want to see Tom Araya and Robert Trujillo on Bass Clinic

[ganonuchia]

@jaom912 Lol Tom araya dosnt play anything he wont do a bass clinic, It would be awesome to see one from trujillo

[joelrod18]

@Ellinarkkari Roope was a beast then, too! Still is but, Alexi's the front-man and i guess Roope treats him as an entrepreneur.

[wayne1167]

Ellefson rocks ! Metal horns up !

[ixcaliber]

All I hear is the original track.

[MusicMotivator]

@ixcaliber As he's playing the original bass part that would make sense. It's a great mix given pre-recorded backing with live bass.

[ixcaliber]

@MusicMotivator Eh, I'm essentially tone deaf to bass anyways. Unless the bassist is playing something very unique and different to the guitarist, I wont hear it at all. Otherwise I'm not actually tone deaf, I just can't ever hear the bassist.

[Hallow334]

One of my fav Megadeth songs. Rust in Peace had some killers songs on it.

[MetallerMet]

@TranquilizerDarts Same here!

[FreakyraymanNOTOW]

5:52 im in love

[laconchatu]

its not david???

[DiogoAlmeida95]

@TranquilizerDarts me too, i hate it when i go to a bass video and the ppl are saying that the dislikes are from guitar players, i wish i had a bass...but im saving for a marshall megastack, a jackson kvx10 and a metal muff :(

[konst1989]

it would be bettet if he was louder

[Nevigo]

Wow to sit in there,and play a dirty lead guitar to that rythm.Yummm.

[JohnJWJC16]

0:22 like a boss.

[licklibrary]

Congratulations all that spotted the typo - You all win a Free Air Guitar !

[boogiechillen123]

@licklibrary what good does that do without an air amp?

[licklibrary]

@boogiechillen123 Good point...this will be given away at a later date....

[DrEviscerator666]

I guess Tom Araya is from Megadeth!

[Valentineskidd]

He probably uses the 5th string in other songs. I saw their big four set, he pretty much uses the same bass through out.

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

he never uses the 5th string, i dnt understand why he always has a 5 string bass

[bullshitproof]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 lol true, its probably for the reverb effect, or maybe he slaps with it..

[MunterE]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 Cause he's Dave Ellefson and can do whatever he damn well pleases because of that

[SgtZaqq]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 because 5 string is badass.

[cd31247]

You can't even hear his bass, it's just the original mix from Rust in Peace, GAY.

[DJParkesie959II]

@cd31247 : You can hear it slightly if you have decent headphones...Sucks that it's not louder though.

[enriqueelias12]

Bassist of Slayer ? XD

[marcussilvamgs]

Fucking Awesome video but... Bassist of Slayer? FUCK YOU LICKLIBRARY It's Megadeth!

[cyberdod11]

i was there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[vwjodyme]

what is going on here? why is he playing on a stage by himself to a recording in front of a crowd?

[TomWhaley621]

@vwjodyme it's probably some sort of clinic

[Jeremyvp]

0 people should die...

[bvried]

Awesome bass tone! :) I love Jacksons both 6 string and those concert basses. :) lol Though I really only play guitar so yeah... haha The Jackson Kelly has to be my favorite though.

[MargaretsLight]

description fail.

[lzmiranda]

Dave Ellefson is the type of bass player every metal band wants.

[amathew711]

its a bass instructional. wouldnt you figure they would turn up the bass? sounds just like the recording, whats the point in watching this..

[91jubaku]

@amathew711 "Bass Guitar Performance Bass Clinic 2011" from the title. Performance, not instructional

[amathew711]

@91jubaku let me ask you, what are clinics for? just answer that you DUMBASS. most players alter tone for clinics so audience can hear clearly.

[epiccod]

Well, i guess Kerry King is now lead singer;p

[xAvengedSevenfoldx71]

@epiccod well he did do lead guitar for a little bit in megadeth no albums just touring

[megadethrules1991]

Wow I didn't know David joined Slayer.

[Faithrasher]

Fail! I wondered why couldn't I hear any bass, but then I noticed that I had bass for some reason turned off from my speakers...

[KilroyWasHere444]

BADASS!

[cissystrutter]

The name of the vid is Dave Ellefson - Holy Wars Megadeth - Bass Guitar Performance Bass Clinic 2011 but the description says slayer... what the fuck? slayer sucks compared to megadeth

[xAvengedSevenfoldx71]

@cissystrutter bro i cant agree more slayer suks ass megadeth is way better

[lronmaidenRgods]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 a7x have nothing to do here, slayer and megadeth kick ass

[xAvengedSevenfoldx71]

@lronmaidenRgods just cause i listen to a7x doesnt mean i dont listen to the big four i love megadeth i think their the best big four group i think dave is a great musician especially with rust in peace countdown to extinction and my favorite album peace sells slayer suks ass cause i think they got overated because of rain in blood i think that marty is way better than kerry king so shut yr mouth

[lronmaidenRgods]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 probably you only know raining blood, because is their most famous song but slayer is more talented than avenged sevenfold, seassons and rust in peace are the best metal albums in the 90's

[xAvengedSevenfoldx71]

@lronmaidenRgods i dont care to much for slayer kerry king is overated marty was better cause his solos were way better and cryptic writings was one of megadeths best albums of the 90s

[HerveGamerDude]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 cryptic writings sucked CTE was their good record from the 90s

[lronmaidenRgods]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 cryptic writings is one of the worst megadeth albums, point slayer is better than a7x

[xAvengedSevenfoldx71]

@lronmaidenRgods y do u keeep comparing a7x and slayer i thought we were comparing megadeth and slayer by the way slayer suks megadeth is better and megadeths one and only bad album was risk

[lronmaidenRgods]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 slayer dont have bad albums, explain why they suck

[xAvengedSevenfoldx71]

@lronmaidenRgods slayer dont have bad albumss DUR they suk because their overated and their not even tht good and megadeths better

[easre4dfr4es3wa2q1r4]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 You sir, are a faggot.

[njones1091]

@easre4dfr4es3wa2q1r4 Lol...almost an argument?

Music is all about preference. I'm not a huge fan of thrash at all but there are some sick songs that came out of that genre. Raining Blood and Angel of Death are fucking awesome songs but are really the only 2 songs I like by Slayer, I only like probably 6 songs or so by Megadeth although their new album was pretty nice.

[DiogoAlmeida95]

@xAvengedSevenfoldx71 I understand you, when i was starting getting into thrash i listened slayer's raining blood, and i was «Way heavy! This sucks, im listening to Maiden!» but after some days i go back and listen more and more and now i freakin' love them, if wanna try they have some really cool songs not too heavy like South of Heaven, Dead Skin Mask and Seasons in the Abyss, try listening them

[jorgeparra07]

can't hear a shit, it's a shame actually David it's a great bass player

[gabocrbll]

Description:

"Bassist of Slayer Dave Ellefson performs more tracks in a up and coming issue of our online magazine "

Nice job there..

anyway, cant hear bass

[lronmaidenRgods]

@gabocrbll you must be deaf

[gabocrbll]

@lronmaidenRgods no im not, and not the only one who said it lol

[RePLeY666]

Both Daves are freakin' cool guitar players

[violaodesafinado]

\m/

[gh3rckl3gend]

Im a guitarist too and for a long time now Bass guitar has always seemed more appealing to play at times... Not all the time but I have cravings to just jam a bass sometimes! Hahahaha there's something really cool about playing a bass.

[01020498]

@gh3rckl3gend does that happens to all of us dude? we all want to play bass even when we mess with our bassist? jajajaja

[TheCOB98]

my favourite bass player is cliff burton and jason newsted

[Mastercaster1984]

@TheCOB98 Metallica fan?

[DecadenceBeyond12]

@Mastercaster1984 LMAO. dude. he's just trolling on to make people mad ahaha. plus his name is The COB98, which is Children Of Bodom. Which is also one of the most amazing and talented bands out there :)

[MajorImpact]

@TheCOB98 Interesting... I didn't know Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted were the same person.

[LAYUCHEBI]

ჯუნიორი რა მაგარი როჟაა,

junior such a cool dude got to love him

[simon19942008]

I barely hear the bass...

[medvidmaks]

Bassist of Slayer Dave Ellefson performs more tracks

nice joke

[djg0603]

Seeing this makes me want to pick up a bass for the fuck of it. 

[IBigIManDixon]

P.S in the description it says "Bassist of Slayer Dave Ellefson" he's from Megadeth not Slayer! Needs changing!

[HerveGamerDude]

@IBigIManDixon fail

[IBigIManDixon]

JUNIOR! ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BASS PLAYERS!

[RockGuitarDave]

I HATE BASS HATERS!

[ZanmaruV2]

@RockGuitarDave um why?

[DJParkesie959II]

@RockGuitarDave : As a guitarist, I think bassists are HIGHLY underrated...Shame really, David is a bass god...Maybe not as skilled as Billy Sheehan or Les Claypool, but certainly a great bassist none the less.

[guitarpsychobilly]

some people say bass is so easy. not all the time though

[22FretsIsNotEnough]

@guitarpsychobilly People who say bass is easy are always rubbish bass players because they think it's just about hitting the right notes.They always have bad tone, bad timing and can't groove.
