I really don't know what all of you that are complaining about the mix were listening to. The mix was perfect, I hear both bass and drums, perfectly balanced. Beyond that, the playing was tight, and the level of musicality in going through all those songs seamlessly is incredible. It must have taken a huge amount of practice, and there was loads of technically difficult parts involved. I enjoyed it all, damn impressive!

Arran Partridge This Charming Man has an amazing bassline for example

[@samdavidson7022]

A) you’re bang on, there was so much more to them than the godlike guitar playing and lyrical genius of Johnny and Morrissey, and B) please tell me you roll with the Alan Partridge references?

[@carolfromhr9900]

“Barbarism Begins At Home” is one of the greatest bass lines ever.

[@leochang3328]

This really shows how Duff was so underrated in GnR man

[@jvomkrieg]

+Leo Chang Surprised "sweet child of mine" isn't on this list. I'm not a big GnR fan, but that's an iconic bass riff.

[@andrewpappas9311]

+J Vomkrieg I agree, it is an awesome bass riff

[@J8D2]

Duff is good, hearing his lines in GnR songs was one of the reasons i picked up the bass.

[@leochang3328]

+Andrew Pappas I personally love rocket queen the most, every element in that song from drums, bass, guitar riffs, and the lyrics is perfect

[@punman5392]

+J Vomkrieg it's so extremely overshadowed by the guitar riff

[@CliffHackleman]

all in one take?!!! are you kidding me?!! that was insane!!

[@MusicBlvdNoordwijk]

:o) It's very difficult to play so much different riffs with so much tempo moves in a short time. So they deserve a big applause.

[@robertglenn5398]

Excellent job, gentlemen! The bass player, however, should have put a nice crisp crease in his pants. Why? I like creases, that's why...

[@NinjaN30]

for drummers that don't understand... THAT is how deep your kick drum is supposed to be. sounds better. plays easier. etc

[@sw1tched]

thats a killer sound

[@cuscoothriyas5163]

sounds better when you are recording it. But it won't exactly project well in a live situation

Yea no shit

[@wildcat69usatexas]

I'm listening on a KORG STUDIO SET AND IT"S SHYTE MIX. Studio tech is a dumb arse!!! Turn it up!!!

[@tewtadle268]

I can her the bass that is not the problem, just it's more in the subwoofer range, it's all lows, no mids or highs, which gives the bass a lot of its tone, especially the mids. In the end its still a bad mix.

[@geraldbustos]

Excelent Krist Novoselic! thanks for your video.

[@harrymon6461]

the bass guy is emotionless the whole time but the drummer, he gets fuckin into it. I love him!

[@Samizsm23]

becuz hes too concentrated trying not to fuckup

[@harrymon6461]

+samB yeah i guess your right

[@ggthewhale]

Amazing. Also love that you guys included death from above 1979

[@ferabra8939]

Great video! fantastic grooves. Excellent musicians. Non-musically trained people tend to overlook bass, specially a key element, which is the interplay between bass and kick drum, when in fact that's the foundation of rock music. Everyone pays attention to the larynx-tearing singer, the flash lead guitarist, the cymbal splashing drummer, but subconsciouslly they like a song because of the groovy bass line and a powerful kick drum supporting it. This video, with just the bass lines and drums is a perfect example.

Where is under pressure

[@minkzminkz4689]

Julio Profe agreed. Radio GaGa, I want to break free, Yes's Roundabout, Another brick in the wall were missing.

[@hodgie]

Sounded great through my headphones. Don't know what everyone's complaining about. Maybe they're trying to listen to bass through their phones and expecting it to be good lol.

[@tewtadle268]

I can hear it too (also through headphones) , but you have to say they went to heavy on the bottom end, should have boosted some of the mids and highs to make it sound more like an actual instrument, I mean that's what gives bass a lot of its tone.

[@enzolumare5680]

@@tewtadle268yeah

[@shallowlord]

The volume on the bass should have been higher..

[@Oborowatabinostk]

Lol is this thing on?

[@grantmalone]

+shallowlord Probably to do with your speakers/headphones. If I listen through my laptop I hear pretty much nothing. On decent headphones it's perfectly fine.

[@shallowlord]

+greyztone my speakers is perfectly fine

[@grantmalone]

+shallowlord I wonder why you can't hear the bass then. It's clear and well mixed for me. Any louder would be unbalanced.

Whatever you have done in this mix is marvellous!!! Its the first video featuring bass guitar as the focus where I can hear the bass. Actual deep bass, even through headphones.

[@ArrogantDan]

For everyone complaining, I have an investment idea that may intrigue you. It's called a pair of headphones :)

[@tewtadle268]

Yeah, still too much low end, I can hear it fine on my headphones, but it still lacks mids and highs, play your bass through an amp, and then listen to this and you will hear the difference, the mix is all low end.

[@matthewbernard2903]

I had to turn the volume all the way up to here the bass

[@Maner192]

IT'S HEAR GOD DAMN IT

[@johnbernard930]

But it does sound good once you actually HEAR it

[@MikeHenderson1]

Awesome! Amazing feat of rhythm section madness! Best video yet - no talking, all rocking.

[@Jamesstokesofficial]

All you people saying he's too quiet need to actually use some decent headphones or get a sub. Honestly. His volume is just fine

[@tewtadle268]

Bass should not be on a sub but on a regular bass speaker, those are two different categories, sub is the kick drum or synth bass, a real bass lives over sub (frequency wise) and has its own speaker type. They need some mid and treble in their mix, only low end also eliminates any tone whatsoever.

[@webmwithsound]

no its not.

[@erozmanful1]

Higher Ground by Red Hot Chili Peppers was released in 1989 (Mother's Milk album), not in 1991 (Blood Sugar Sex Magik album), :/

peace sells is a terrific bass riff.

[@yaboi2500]

Problem is that it's 0.5 steps down (Eb/D# tuning)

[@broman260]

Trent Stines not a big difference or deal though. the bass is hardly audible throughout the video anyway.

[@yaboi2500]

Drop Lick Invest in some headphones if you can't hear it very well. Eb tuning is kinda recommended when playing "Peace Sells". Thanks, Dave Ellefson.

[@ianboylan1981]

Trent Stines I think he means he could have shifted it to standard tuning and got away with it. I've played covers that were originally played a whole step down in standard tuning and they've been great.

[@j-psalmi8039]

Trent Stines it is actually tuned 1/4 of a step down

had to give a thumbs up for Tommy the Cat being included

[@cedenoanthony45]

Both of you guys are freaking awesome!! Amazing job !! Unbelievable that you did it all in one take!

[@donaldrocks101103]

Awesome! But you should have included Zeppelin's Dazed And Confused(yeah I know it's a cover but they made the song their own) and The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again(the Bassline is actually more powerful on a 1978 Live version but the studio version is still great)

[@cuscoothriyas5163]

The thing is, the version Led Zeppelin plays is the version Jimmy Page played with The Yardbirds, so it isn't really Led Zep's version. Great song nonetheless

[@donaldrocks101103]

Cusco Othriyas Actually, it is Zeppelin's version because I heard The Yardbirds version and it was different from Zeppelin's version. It sounded closer to Zeppelin's version but they used the original lyrics and some of the structure different.

[@mattlinthicum4207]

amazing, you both should be commended for playing nearly 20 minutes non-stop. though I think Hamburger train (primus) and Got the time (anthrax) should have been on there. but you had only 100 to work with so I forgive.

Bernard Usually bass guitars aren't very loud in most bands. But in solo sessions, the bass should be turned up for it to be heard. (By the way, there is no such thing as "normal" instruments. They all have different characteristics. Same as humans.)
