Rage Against the Machine's "Know Your Enemy" on bass - LRRG

[510zinc]

Damn that's wassup. Best bass cover I've seen

[CreativeCustomz]

1:03 jerkin off

[eusoujar]

vai afinar esse baixo mano!

[iop223]

props to ya

[sunburststratocaster]

RIP

[DoctorNick3]

Sounds like your d string is slightly flat.

[enterthetoucan]

nice!

[zodiakironfist]

I use a direct guitar recorder. It plugs directly into your computer. It comes with software that allows me to play a tune in one track while recording on another track through the recorder. My "amp" is a digitech BP80 effects processor. The only drawback is that everything is played through headphones....no external monitoring at all.

[Galdasturis]

so angry sound. :))

[mazter101]

o shit...didnt realize that was maynard...but i knew he sounded familiar

[reynouts]

I think the orignal version (on the self-titled album) is with Maynard, so why is it a surprise that he used that? :P

[reynouts]

Wow, magnificent sound! Blows me away. Nice cover :) Good that you are also active @ youplayalong!

Keep on rockin'

[Spector2112]

damn it , you always do the best songs before I do!!!! AAAGGGHH!!! Are you reading my mind? oh wait...it IS in the same body...

[zodiakironfist]

I think if we ever touched, it would open a rift in the space time continuum.

[B1gb0ymagee]

I don't know if you like them, but for some good slap bass you could try Faith No More. I would like to see you cover some of their songs.

[viniciovp4ever]

Do you know how to play "sleep now in the fire"? I really love that music and you are really good

[viniciovp4ever]

I prefer your other bas kkkk xD

[dLema1]

Any tips on slapping? When I slap my bass it sounds like shit. Like if the string touched the frets, I get horrible fretbuzz.

[zodiakironfist]

I have no idea. To be honest, I have never heard of this problem before. Perhaps your pickups are too close to your strings and in the increased amplitude of the string displacement on slapping makes it do that, but this is only a guess.

[dLema1]

Yeah, you might be right. I did some research I some other guy also had the same problem so, using a screwdriver, he lowered the pickups. Gonna try that tomorrow to see if it works.

Maybe the problem is the type of pickups? My bass has P-J.

[issa9]

@dLema1 Go on a Jazz video and ask someone again, Jazz bassists are the best slappers when it comes to thumb slapping, they might be able to help you, I hope this helped.

[lordlemmingman]

You should play Hyperacuity by Greg Howe. it's kind of out there and hard to find but it's got some kick ass funk bass and it kind of sort of reminds one of primus if they had jazz fusion influences

[555Ryan666]

i love Maynards vocals near the end.

[WhiteStripesDude1]

Maynard? The singer for RATM is Zack De La Rocha. Maynard James Kennan is the singer for Tool

[YourNoose]

Did you not notice that he sings in this song? :)

[555Ryan666]

he sings in this song tho

[DillonBalnius]

can i get tabs for this? the tabs i read i don't really understand the intro

[flargen66]

Good cover, as always, but please, TUNE YOUR BASS.

[TheShredDoctor]

i HATE wmg, the best way to avoid them is to first look up the songs you want to do to see if they have a WMG label.

that eliminates, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Deep Purple, DevilDriver, new Metallica, Dio, Black Label Society, Iron Butterfly, Alice Cooper, Pantera, Cradle of Filth, Hendrix, Dream Theater, In Flames, and Mastedon

if i had a band with a WMG label, i'd quit and get a new record label

[Talmadar]

Nice Bassist :):):):)

I Like that Version =]

[zodiakironfist]

OK...I released the third of those three Rush videos on youplayalongDOTcom. The three tunes are Best I can, Twilight Zone, and Natural Science

[prboyd]

Awesome Rob. Belting tune and a quality bassline.

[StreetSpoken]

The more I listen to your vids, the more I come to love them... keep on rocking man

[slurpeexyza17]

Love your tone.

[jackattack254]

Thank you for playing my favorite Rage song man. Keep it up and keep on rocking

[zodiakironfist]

Thanks. Glad to entertain the both of you with my chaotic, spastic noodlings.

[felicius]

Well it's not surprising that your vidz are flagged, you rock too hard dude, youtube is about to explode. Just play one or two celine dion tune and it'll be ok.

[zodiakironfist]

I leave that kind of music to metallicat511....he put out a Kelly clarkson tune recently. I was like "wha?"

[TheDrumChannel]

Great sound on this one Rob - This is a great bass line as well. Glad to see your pumping them out. Rock on

[zodiakironfist]

Always pumping them out them pimping them out. Such is the way of the ham.

[xrockslayerx]

Thanks 4 putting up the vid! It's a fantastic cover.

[Bassmastajazzyj]

Tool fans

If you guys didnt know, Maynard and Danny Carey are featured in this song from 3:00 - 3:30

[zero88777]

holy shit thats awesome-

[zodiakironfist]

I really wish I knew what you guys were talking about on this.

[R08M]

i knew it wasnt de la Rocha's voice at that part!!!

[Xv31]

YES. This is the song.

[Scissers12345678]

i just signed up on youplay along

the site has a lot of potential.

keep up the good work

[zodiakironfist]

It does have potential...and a crapload of excellent bass players.

[Cigaro1887]

Right on!! One my Fav Rage Songs.

4:22- on best part of song

[ManifestPanda]

its been a long time since you played any of my favorites, not that you're not one of the best bass players ever. im just picky. 5/5

[zodiakironfist]

I understand. So many people who watch me because of my Primus playing have been waiting forever, too. It is VERY HARD to play anything funky without the record companies ripping it down due to copyright.

[ManifestPanda]

:) keep up the good work.

[Scream4vengeance]

Man, great, bad-ass slapping!

[zodiakironfist]

Thanks, JC. Hey...has Dave asked you about the UFO tune yet?

[timrogers511]

yep....  you still kick ass

[farlay]

cool vid, thanks for the heads up on the new site i will defo go check it out. marloweDK did a realy ace bass cover of hit me with your rhythm stick by ian dury and the blockheads and i was realy pissed off when youtube deleted him off the site, fucking tossers.

[kevbocat]

Wicked playing!! You always impress.

[PDXguitarfreak]

Nice job Rob!

[KissMeImPunk]

Might as well jsut give them a hearty FUCK YOU right back?

[deathboy695]

hey man nice playing and you should do bombtrack

[roentgen571]

The taking down of Rush covers is, as I understand it, not in keeping with the law. If it's truly a cover, it's your work and they have no right to take it down at all. If it's a play-along, I think it'd fall under "fair use" since it's been substantially altered by the addition of your own playing. These publishing companies are really overreaching.

[andyhoov]

They have taken down Rush covers!

No act in this world is more blasphemous!

[Shinsen88]

Great cover of an awesome song! I am becoming more and more fed up with WMG and UMG... Will definitely check out youplayalong.

[Punkforbrains]

Right on dude!

Great cover, I havnt heard this song in YEARS!!

And FUCK WMG!!

Souless fucks. They removed 3 of my vids, flagged one of my Dead Kennedys vids & muted a tribute to my cat because I was playing The Specials!

Great move with posting your videos on a better website, Im sure alot of your yutube subs will make an effort to go there.

Keep on rockin with your cock out!!

[stenback31289]

i post mine on facebook

[zodiakironfist]

OK....just released one of the three Rush videos I made today on youplayalongDOTcom. Look for two more to be released there over the next week.

[toberichmoe]

oh yeah what kind of bass is that by the way?

[MCLOVIN50]

That would be the Schecter Stiletto Elite 4

[toberichmoe]

nice.....what about the one that looks like cliff burton's?

[zodiakironfist]

That would be a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001. Her name is "Priscilla"...and the one in this video is named "Wulfgang von Schecter"

[Auschwitz691]

excelente!

[xSOILBORNx]

Dude, this is awesome!!

I have a request, would you consider doing "Pissed Off and Mad About It" by Texas Hippie Coalition? They're a somewhat unknown band but they are badass. The song is right up your alley I think and it's a fun song to jam too! The video is on youtube, check it out atleast.

Keep rockin bro!

[zodiakironfist]

I will try to remember to check em out. thanks for the suggestion.

[xLoB63x]

great as usual

[charlesmanson1987]

I love the schecter slap tone, it does funky to a T.

[zodiakironfist]

I so agree with you....in fact, the tone is so good I find myself slapping parts that are not meant to be slapped...just because the tone is sublime.

[toberichmoe]

i got a request

it would be cool if you did Future Tense by Sanctuary, it has some good bass parts to it

[zodiakironfist]

I have never heard of that band.

[toberichmoe]

yeah........doesn't hurt to look it up? they sound great

[Canteu04]

I love the passion you put in whenever you play you say youre tired after another 4 videos but it doesnt show :)

[zodiakironfist]

Thanks, man

[TimmyD045]

rock on dude

[jbyrd0861]

dejavou...i was playin this myself last night at a bbq...awsome

[zodiakironfist]

Cool....we are on the same wavelength

[killer92tacos]

what's the tuning?

[vplamondon]

i play it in standard

[zodiakironfist]

yup...standard.

[dimebag579]

i hate the copywrite bullshit youtube got going on grrr! but that aside great cover man, i aspire to be able to play bass one day lol for the time being i'll keep playing my drum kit

[654321654321]

[devonwardkelley14]

[zakryan79]

ALL OF WHICH ARE AMERICAN DREAMS! great cover brah.

[PookLowEnd]

Lol, I didn't have to read the comment's author to know who it was from.

I add myself to Zak's feelings about this cover :)

[zakryan79]

you know me all too well brosky ;)

[zodiakironfist]

All of which are American dreams.

[zodiakironfist]

Sorry that youtube made it synch a little late. hopefully when it finishes processing, it will be more on-target.

[grandtheftautocj]

Great like always and thenks for the new site and remember

Fuck WMG!!!

[CAPITALISTagenda]

Yay, new video! Great as always!
