RATM - Take the power back

[ffgew22]

see lots of great covers for this song, but every one of them seems to be a bit flat lol. great job though!

[toastpfanne]

could you make a cover of this song pls? /watch?v=PCrfX4PQelc

I love your covers and your band btw!

[tsubasakunful]

you are a bass god :)

[NateBassturbates]

@yopsolo I know what you mean, I looked at his early covers and they are all still amazing X_X

[Orangemongoose1]

I hope David will redo some of the Rage covers he did way back in the day since he's gotten even better (and he has an HD camera now)

[NateBassturbates]

For people complaining about minor problems in this cover (which in my opinion is still great), it's an old cover and when he recorded it he'd only been playing for about a year. You might wanna listen to his redo of this before you start judging

[YopSolo1]

@NateBassturbates Only one year O__o, I play bass guitar for three years and I still can't play this song as well as he does. T__T

[ninchick96]

ive listened to this song a million times. hes not out of tune at all

[squiffyk7]

@ninchick96 when he plays that 2 note chord in the main bass riff, you can hear the 2 notes clash against each other and hear the tuning is wrong

[allouttemptation]

...even in 240p your sound is incredible O_o

[Music6982]

Could have been tuned to the song better, great playing anyways.

[MacReviewzOnline]

ouch that hurts the ears...bass is out of tune enough to sound lame.

less face making more practicing.

[crazyfuzz2]

@MacReviewzOnline HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA BULL SHIT

[MacReviewzOnline]

@crazyfuzz2 come on man - too obvious...stll kinda interesting , but it is what it is...

[bruteiful1]

holy shit man you made me shit my pants, if rage against the machine needed a bass player to fill in, you would be the best bet, thumbs up if you agree!!!!!!!!!!

[benbass91]

Hey man great cover! However it sounds like your higher D string is slightly out of tune.

[TNTIV]

Awesome dude. I don't like the sound of the bass as much but you can't always be perfect.

[cliptheracer]

The cover is PERFECT... very good performance, but unfortunately it sounds a bit out of tune... :/

[bojanks15]

this bass line is too sick

[ViLLy512]

the same sound of the music, it's probaly tim use a music man in studio :O

[Ando42497]

best bass player on youtube

[MacReviewzOnline]

@Ando42497 are you on drugs? listen how outta tune and tempo ahead of the beat...he's white...but no excuses...

[7r0113r]

@MacReviewzOnline hes not out of tune, the recording on the album is actually a bit sharp, so playing along even in the correct tuning sounds weird.

[WhiskeyWithMusic]

Dude that a very good cover, just tune up

[MCarlson89]

@WhiskeyWithMusic This song's so tricky to tune with. I'm convinced they tuned just a little sharp to mess with bassists like us...

[LethalLion]

@MCarlson89 Yeah, I agree. I'm perfectly tuned, and it still sounds a little off.

[TNTIV]

@MCarlson89 That's exactly what they did but you know what I say to that? FUCK IT! You can do what you want with the song really... make up fills and what not. Music is an endless playground of awesomeness lol

[kw1ksh0t]

Tune up

[shinobivstina]

@kw1ksh0t everyone has that problem, i think tim's bass has a sharper upper D string, cos it always sounds flat when someone covers it

[XSymphony]

@kw1ksh0t yea, it's halfway tuned. between 1 semitone. Somewhere between D and D flat

[Latristelune]

Slapping extrêmement fluide, rien à dire ,parfait comme d'habitude. GG !

[ph4ntomlord]

Anyone else think of Seinfeld when they hear this bass line?? LMFAO! :)

[MattLoaf92]

Good cover but your bass is tunes a little too high.

[erridott]

you play very well dude! but i think that your bass it's a bit out of tone :S

[jasonmiester9]

nice man aren't those low d's supposed to be separated with muting though

[edgar669966]

yea man thats like an E flat not drop D

[bojanks15]

one of my favorite rage basslines

[JavieROCK666]

man i love your covers!

[Hitman04neptun]

slap!!



[robbie1yermaw]

His D strings flat.

[robbie1yermaw]

@MountainDew231767

No its not.

[adrenalynejunky]

sa sonne faux mec lol quand meme tres bien ton cover ^^

[markinosFM15]

Is that an Ibanez ATK??

[EvenHummROCKS]

Anyone agreed that david is the coolest bassist on youtube?

[niranhguav]

@EvenHummROCKS I second that! :D

[pigfarts992]

@EvenHummROCKS Agreed. Along with some others.

[omarko99]

@EvenHummROCKS indeed!

[keepmehigh]

great job, but you should have tuned your bass

[crz4anime]

@keepmehigh Song is in detuned tuning :P Mean drop D ... in case u mean that :P

[keepmehigh]

@crz4anime

I know but isn't his bass tuned a bit flat?

[crz4anime]

@keepmehigh the sound is kinda weird indeed .. maybe its just his tone ... but very good playing

[sam51209]

猛哥

[StureFrehley]

Tune!

[wesselrockt1996]

do you play on a 5-string to?

[OmarM945]

conmadre we

[jayssiel18]

out of tune ?????

[sonamhf]

it was great....i watched almost all of ur vid..ur a great bass player...but on this one i think ur were a lil flat on the tuning...may be u just need a lil but tightning on the strings....(again ur like 100 times better than me)

[fancholas]

I'm gonna sign you. How much for your transfer bud ?? ;-)

[parkeryo999]

holy crap that was amazing!!

[XrisikosForNever]

nc work! i love your covers!! btw where do you find the money for all those basses :O i like them anyway :)

[neuthral]

FUNKAYH!

[petehbarnes]

jeez, how many basses have you got man?

[farenass666]

nice work dude

[basstard013]

intonation too flat but great stuff :)

[wallsy2010]

Yeah, I think Rage tune up half a step or something annoying so this bass sounds out of tune when it's not.

The double D slap on the main riff needs immediate muting - you're letting it ring a wee bit too long.

I'm a massive fan though, you're an awesome bassist.

[pityant]

un po scordato si xD!!!

[ciolan16]

is the bass plugged tot the computer? or did he do to sound so good?

[m4773091]

sta scordato lol

[damienleroux1]

elle est trop bien ta IBANEZ ATK 300 NT franchement pour 500 niquelle mais g une question ten fait quoi de toute tes basse tu les mais dans un coin ou qoui?

[EPER83]

Dimavery

[lololicon13]

props for proper slapping my friend

[Moiez101]

@lololicon13

that's not proper slapping technique. but then again, there isn't really a proper style, however, the most efficient way would be the way that victor wooten and Les Claypool play, which is oldschool yet it's proper technique. the way he's slapping is like flea, not proper at all. This is not to say that it isn't good.

[pimelodella]

@Moiez101 slapping nazi ><

[Moiez101]

@pimelodella

Yupperz! I'm also a grammer nazi and a spelling nazi. =)

[beerandpluggers]

nah, Timmy C, bends that note, cause if ya tune it right it still sounds off unless ya bend the F

[espaxmonster]

yea try using staccato on the open d's in the intro

[DanMacTwentyOne]

Lethal song, lethal cover. Well done dude.

[rhcpbassmaniac]

could anyone tell me which is the bass he is using?

[LforLaurent]

Ibanez ATK 300

[brazilianboi1997]

nice slapbass

[jarrodisdeath]

wtf i hate wmg it takes music out of basically every videos but covers not that that is bad i love having sound in my covers but its weird

[simontehbass]

E string is supposed to be out of tune dipshit it's dropped D

[Bassstringz]

Not bad but E string out of tune...

[jfcmjfcmjfcm]

sexeh bass you have there... wich 1 is it?

and if should give you a little tip on this on... the 2 first loose on the E string.. dont let them ring that long

[AKEZTRIXER]

hey man how long have you been playing for?

[SentFromGoldenHall]

at this video 1 year

[tommygunnz92]

ur D string is like 15 cents flat.. sounds weird

[lloydy8001]

i thought that!

[TimmyD045]

Timmy C bends up on the 3rd fret of the D string the entire song.

[EnkaiKo]

yeah but thesongsfrom RATM are almost always played with drop D snare andthis is one of those songs

[theStalker1313]

E string's outta tune

[Guitarcrazy778]

i like it but you need to tune better

[oldb0b]

off tune

[thatonekidyouknow]

its funny how the translation under more info is only different by like two words

[policeman87]

great cover. Just want to mention you're supposed to mute the low D's in the verse. Apart from that and the tuning, you've done a good job.

[maxf130]

u make it look easy dude

[BILLTHEDEDGI]

it is kinda easy. its a good first song when you start doing slap & pop.

[xdavidx0326]

@maxf130 it is easy

[OiAbA]

@maxf130 it is :')

[TNTIV]

@maxf130 Actually it's not too hard. Really the fills are simple and the bassist in rage made this a sort of easy to play. The hammer on the D string in the main rift takes a little getting use to though.

[wataboringvideo]

oh damn! i accidentaly rated this vid @ 2 stars! i wasn't payin' attention! i meant 2 rate it @ 5 stars it's an awesome cover sorry dude!

[basstard013]

Ibanez ATK. great job, as usual! :)

[psikoseb69]

VERY NICE MAN .... 5/5

[buenoskater555]

is that an Ibanez TR bass?

[DimebagsLeftToe]

well yeah its drop d like half of the other rage songs, but the tuning morello is in is, for some reason, halfway between E and F, a quarter step up. the E string, tuned to D, is really halfway between D and Eb/D#

[XSymphony]

if you have a tunner, ( that's good ) you'll see that's not drop D, it's between drop D and E

try it

[DimebagsLeftToe]

i know its not drop D. technically speaking its drop halfway between D and D#

[Rossiboiracer]

wot bass is that

[DimebagsLeftToe]

yeah, its the song. its halfway between e and f. so basically a quarter step up. oh well, its still kickass.

[joshjoshjosh133]

amazing

[SonicSamTV]

YOU really ROCK!!!

RATM is so cool

[Wintersedgeband]

umm, yea DavidSin is a legend :D On the tab for this song, it says standard drop D, but you have to tune a bit sharp to get the proper sound. Check out my cover of this :D

[Keskin1975]

It`s kinda in drop D but just kinda, it still sounds off. They must have tuned all their guitars slightly off.

Killer playing btw, nice variations but you`ll have to mute the two popped ones.

[basstrom88]

I think that the problem is the song, not his playing. He could be a little flat. But I think that the bass in the recording of this song is very sharp, because whenever I play to it i'm out of tune unless I bend up the string or tune my bass sharp. It's really weird.

[sabre242]

nice bass! cool guy.

[eiqpasa]

Un poco desafinado, no?

[ryoga1988]

direi che e leggermente scordato...

[daveoi89]

en verdazd creo que si!

[eatmyminilice]

your Ds a bit flat but a superb cover!

[tko19760705]

yeah great playing, but needs a tuning first :)

[maximilianschmid]

5 *'s !!!!!!!!!!!!

[rhcpfan2424]

its in drop d bro.

[TheCakeAintNoLie]

i don't play any insturments and know nothing about music and even i could hear a string was out of tune..

[szwag]

will be nice but i cant stand that your string is completely out of tune :P i think its G tune it half step up ^__^

[ohmyapple]

Accorde toi et refait la, ^^

Sinon c'est parfait :)

[kipkorner]

tune your G string

Perfect playing:)

[turtleguy910456686]

Okay. Sorry about my mistake :-(

[turtleguy910456686]

This song is in drop d. He tuned his e string down ^^.

[stuntboy708]

he owns the youtube bass shit!

hey is the bass god!

[pilotdam]

i agree with RobertDelogger. i have watched alot of covers for this song. it just sounds right. nice job bro!

[RobertDelogger]

i've watched like 3 videos of people trying to cover this and you're the only one who has been able to keep the rhythm of the song. good job. who cares if its out of tune? at least he's right on.

[slapster789]

I have the rage against the machine bass tab book and I know for a fact this song is highly out of tune, the correct tuning for this song is D-A-D-G

[RogerRabbit94]

them hatin bitches can go suck a a horse dick

this shit is amazing

good shit right here

fuck them

very good

[Dohdk]

Slash222 is (sorry to say) right, this is very much out of tune, too bad cause you did this song very good;)

[Skater0felement]

i got that strap =D

[Slashh222]

There's nothing worse than an out of tune cover. Pure torture. This ain't even close. How could you not hear that before you posted.? Next time tune that mother grabber up before you record.

[cacadoodledoo123]

definately out of tune dude

[iixnay]

super :)

[watermelon4]

Awesome strap, mind if I ask where you got it from if you ordered it?

[rolficak]

Tune in next time...

and don't let the E ring all the time!!! :)

you loose the spirit!

[johnnyfacehead]

ARGH TUNE PLZ!

i was totally obsessed with this song when i was wee.

[bntejn]

Though the 2nd and 3rd strings are a little out of tune(a little lower than it should be)It still is nice playing! I think it would be better and make clear sound if you mute the 4th string at right time.

[rabinastian]

once again, excellent.

[Kenny6676]

your a good bassist David! you need a Fender way more than that Ibanez you have! you deserve a Fender Jazz Bass!

[bassplayer4893]

this tim uses a stingray, david should of used the stingray that he has

[Ramirou78]

Putain tu gères !!!

Truc de fou !

Tout le monde doit te proposer d'entrer dans son groupe, non ?

[tarynkadeall]

its would sound dead on if you tuned it up a noch nice my fave song

[bassistfromholland]

Dead on !

[backwoodzbill]

Nice job but seemed a little out of tune to me :p You have greatly improved since your early uploads. Keep up the good work dude!

[guns0fbrixton]

wah tu joues rage against the machine ET les red hot chili peppers ^^

(très impresionnant :D)

[DeathbirdEX]

awesome man! I'm a beginning bass player and ofcourse I suck at the moment lol. How long have you been playing bass to get this good o__O?

[patdoran97]

without a doubt the best cover of this song ive seen on youtube...good job

[TheLemon22]

Nice job man, during the quiet part at 4:40 Timmy actually plays something different. Listen to the track closely, his line doesnt follow the guitar.

Good job though.

[DavidSinRocks]

Thanks dude! I tried to play something different, but you're right.

[plenovo]

hey tio tienes una tecnica excelente con ratm y rhcp muy bueno en realidad sigue asi

[fdser654]

great job!!

[TheHolyMuffinLord]

omg in the very beggining i saw whats on your computer screen from the reflection of ur bass! i couldnt really tell what it is but im guessing its the recording program for your camera right?

anyways good job... lol

[DavidSinRocks]

Yeah, it's Windows movie maker :P

Thanks for the comment!

[TheHolyMuffinLord]

lol that was my seconds guess...

[beerandpluggers]

gday mate does the main slap/pop riff have muted notes in betwee the 3's and 5's

cheers

[JesseGuitar07]

nice tone n great fluency 5***** mate!

[themink12]

Cool as ice dude
