I understand playing bass fast and shit, and i understand shredding and shit. But Piccolo strings on a bass and randomly playing intervals, uncleanly, with distortion to the max, no audible notes, no melody, and no sense of what hes playing is just atrocious. The only thing he has going is his picking chops.
John Myung shreds faster than that, with clean, punchy tone, on a real bass, with actual bass strings, using his fingers, on damn near every Dream Theater song ever recorded.
/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JugwpGg-CDw#! i used to be buddies with karl logan before he made it big. i'm still trying. in the video, joey is playing one of my old rics customized for him by gene matisko of scranton, pa. i'm not kidding. let me know what you think of MY bass solo. thanks.
You can say what you want but Manowar's sound is different from any other band just because of the bass. First time I listened to this band i couldn't tell if there was a guitar and a guitar or a guitar and a bass. Very unique sound. Nobody would care about this band without the bass and the simple plain truth to it.
Wow! That's the best lead guitar I've ever heard on a bass solo. I fail to see all the "haters" & Manowar fanatics points in such a heated argument. Joey is blatantly a bad ass guitarist on bass. So he's displaying that in this solo. But he knows the basses place to support the structure of their songs. I'd much rather see this for a solo than Gene Simmons hitting bass strings with full tilt effects on & spewing blood for the 3,457,193rd no 4th time. Yea, I'm also another bass player. So what.
@HeavyMetalSocialist I am using headphones (my speakers are broken).. And dude, I've seen other DeMaio videos... Besides all that, I AM a bassist, I know about the thing...
Joey is the Malmsteen of fucking hard, loud BASS guitar! i know, i have been playing bass since 1980 and i can tell you that Joey is the original Mother-Fucking WARRIOR!!! if you dont agree then fuck you too!
@dentodili Thanks. I don't play instruments. I have a question for u. If the bass guitar can be tuned to a guitar or what Lemmy / Joey does, why most bands have an extra guitarist? The bassist can do the job.
Oh my god what have I to hear? Demaio one of the best bass players? that's not a bass, my friends. that's a four cords guitar. Wanna hear a real bass player? check steve harris, geddy lee, cliff burton, markus grosskopf,david ellefson, D.D. verni, billy sheehan
Joey De Maio is a lousy bass player. he doesnt even deserve to be called a bass player. Maybe he will be a 4 string guitar player but a bass player? nah.
no utiliza ni una tecnica de bajista lo unico que hace es tocar la guitarra con 4 cuerdas , lo mejor que hace este tio es comprarse uan guitarra por que de bajo no tiene ni puta idea
@Zermatsch Hmm let's see, he's playing a narrow-necked 'bass' with strings tuned an octave higher than regular gauge bass string. If that wasn't offensive enough, he's playing with a pick using alternate picking, if that still wasn't offensive enough, he doesn't play any basslines but instead cranks up the distortion and plays 300mph guitar solos. He's no bassist, myself and any other bassist would tell you that he is NOT one of us.
I respect this guy as a composer, but, honestly, give me a strat, turn my gain up to 11, and I could throw together something just like this without thinking... and I'm not exactly a master of shred...
he is an insult to all gay people.. just cause he's being ubergay.. he looks like a fkin prick standing standing there in those gay leather tights thinking of himself -GOOOOD I'M SO GOOOD i'm gonna rape some child in the backstage tonight.. gayowar rulez
THIS IS THE COMMENT I POSTED IN OTHER VIDEO AND I WILL POST IT ON AS MUCH VIDEOS AS NEEDED FOR YOU TO FINALLY GET IT AND STOP TALKING SHIT!
Ok,jerkoffs this is piccolo bass,but this is NOT THE BASS HE USES IN ALL THE OTHER SONGS! His main bass is NOT a piccolo. This one is Baby Demon bass and it features a tremolo and a piccolo tuning. His main bass-Demon 2 looks pretty much like this one,but it has thicker strings,no tremolo,4 pickups and its in standard bass tuning.
The neck on that bass is SO THIN!! How the hell can he even play a neck as thin as that without accidentally hitting too many strings by accident all the time?
@Spermwhales93 well, imagine electric guitar 6 string neck without first two (thinnest) strings, it's would be also thin. So, it's same spacing between strings...
Haha, you people need to lay back - No doctor in music, ability to shred, or even being able to compose for a whole orchestra is equal with talent and/or taste. the first three things you can work your way up to, the other… well not so much, really.
and no i can't play what he can. and i don't care.
I am sorry but I really HATE when people bring undefinable things as arguments. They are NOT. Your opinion doesn't matter at all. Nobody cares about your opinion.
this is not a bass player...this is a guitarists...if you want be a bass player you must need bass strings and a real bass...not a fucking instruments like that!!!
@cliftonite187 It's a special kind of bass called piccolo bass or something like that....I also think someone who's got a doctor in music and can actually compose pieces for a whole orchestra has talent, sorry.
