Sweating Bullets is a song written by Dave Mustaine from the 1992 Megadeth album Countdown to Extinction. The song was released as a single in 1993. Lyrically, the song is about a man who has Dissociative Identity Disorder and tries to gain control of his darker side. When the darker side comes, he wakes up with blood stains on his hands. Kinda like MPD, where a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.
One of the best songs by Megadeth, I'd say. The Bass is quite simple all through the song. There is just one riff which is quite tricky. You'd know what i'm talking about if you ever tried playing this. I suggest you watch this video to learn all you can.
Someday you too will know my pain... and smile it's blacktooth grin.

  • i am loving yoo soo much...your enthusiasm is priceless.....just got a bass myself after years of struggling with lead guitar.. i saw iron maiden 3 times 1980.81.82 also megadeth on countdown to extinction tour... you should do the bassline to megadeths dawn patrol ,from the rust in peace album....easy but soo menacing...!

  • Wow, thank you so much pmay222. I am very glad you liked the videos... I am happy to know you are learhing Bass. Please let me know if i can be of any help dude. Welcome to the Bass Brotherhood.

  • hey nice job dude. you also did a very good job on the iron maiden songs. ohh and if your taking requests, then you should play phantom of the opera by maiden. that would be awesome. once again nice job.

  • Thank you HEYxNICExBEARD... I was thinking of doing Phantom... but currently I am shifting my house... so very busy with all the work... Will see what i can do... I am very glad you liked this song and the Maiden stuff too...

    Cheers !

  • the 'nice story tell it to Readers' Diggest' is so passionate! great cover!

  • Thank you crissslavior. Yeah, it's a song with a lot of feel... even though it's a bit agressive. I always found it interesting when you have a song about a dark feeling... and the way it is put in words... makes you re-live what the song is about.

see all
