Well, this is unusual to say the least. I got a hankering for playing a cover of this tune like any other cover I do, but I did not like the old sound quality of the original with my basses. It was a little thin.

So I decided to remake the whole song from the beginning, starting with programming the drums. In the end, I played two simultaneous bass tracks, some cheezy guitar chords, and a very lame attempt to vocalize (noticed I didn't say "singing"? It's more like Revenge of the Nerds meets Carcass).

Oh yeah, there's a bass solo in the middle of the tune, and LOT of footage of spiders as well. I hope you enjoy it, and yes, I know that I am a silly person. It balances the entomologist side of me.

(I'm not happy with the end of the bass solo, but c'est la vie).

awesome sauce. TOTALLY in the spirit of the Who, and of course John. I also love the Primus-esque solo :D

[Caboose1984]

John would be proud, brother. Excellent as always!

[Hazmathzm84]

I wonder what Entwistle would say? lol

[mathgeek37]

Excellent.

[ZachValkyrie]

that was strange... but good!

[zodiakironfist]

Thanks, man. I have a new remake that I am working on right now. When I finish it, it will go immediately to a video like this one. And yeah, it is Primus-ish.

[OrangeLighting1]

This remake really just shows how influenced you are by primus and it sounds fantastic!

[MCLOVIN50]

That bass solo sounds so much like les claypool :o
