It's a big sin not to include Ace of Spades and play Motörhead with a clean bass

[@daveweed2765]

But Lemmy played extremely dirty bass like a guitar. And Marshal don't even make his set up anymore. At the very least you need a pedal now to even get close to Lemmy Kilmister on bass. And then not even normal bass. Then four strings and a bad ass Rick played close to the neck. How you play any instruments how you play it. Black Sabbath? Yeah Geezer used his fingers mostly. Gene Simmons from Kiss? Pick. And regardless playing other band's songs it does make a difference. I personally like the sounds I get from picks on bass. But also use my fingers. And don't even own a five string bass.

[@freddymaierx2363]

@@daveweed2765 for the first part Yeah but distortion pedals aren't that expensive just to distort your sound I don't get what the second part has to do with my comment

[@daveweed2765]

@@freddymaierx2363 Pedals don't give you the same sound as overloaded tubes. Marshall don't make Lemmy's setup anymore. That is half the problem. Another 45 percent of the problem is Lemmy played a Rickenbacher whis is abot 4500 dollars. Minimum. Honestly the shape and what was used makes a difference in the sound. Exactly why would you want clean pertaining to Lemmy Kilmister? The boy was dirty and he played that way. God Bless him.

[@marcosvr2402]

And playing Black Sabbath with a pick is a greater sin

[@ETOL17]

I didn’t see Motörhead in the video

[@josuemartinez2422]

NO TOOL is crazy 😭

[@Jefoam]

Ikr I said the same 😭

[@corvus_kay6755]

Kind of disappointed to be honset. There are so many good metal basslines out there and yet you chose only lines that basically where doing what the guitar played some octaves lower. There where some hard ones in there, but nothing to interesting. And through that you missed some major turning points for bassist, true revolutions like the roaring bass lines of Cliff Burton (any other line from master of puppet would have been better). I dont want to personally attack you just stating my opinion. Much success to your future videos. Your playing and tones where on point 👍

[@ElAbismo]

Totally agree man

[@cmenacez8748]

☝️This guy should make a 50 years of bass lines video, I’m guessing he won’t though. Enjoyed the video man, Heavy🤘

[@RockStartHobbies]

He can only play beginner stuff I can see

[@Eon-Nova]

For White Zombie I'd've gone with Black Sunshine

[@ymirhades3211]

Some sweet bass lines in here, but I'm sorry playing Korn with a pick diminishes all the percussion and insane bottom end Fieldy can achieve

[@Quinn1104]

This. And he didn’t play the bass lines that “stand out” like the chorus in freak on a leash or even the bass solo at the end of blind or the intro bass line

[@cherrycat5599]

Amazing bass tone, loved it ❤️

[@freddymaierx2363]

Which tone? The bass is way to quiet

[@Parsn2137]

awesome!🤟 also I like that no fingers or thumbs were harmed, pick for the win🙋‍♂️

[@judecarpenter2990]

Definitely a guitar player as well. I can tell by your left hand technique

[@judecarpenter2990]

Sterling sounds AMAZING

[@paulgilleece5887]

Great to see Ian hill get some love.

[@mattslater2001]

Very impressive video, although I would've liked to hear metal riffs from 1968 and 1969.

[@xeluuu]

xd

[@alexanderraudenbusch6510]

Normaly i'm not a "real bassists play with they'r Fingers" guy but dude you played iron maiden with a pick😮😮 But beside that, cool video and nice playing, keep on rocking🤟

[@ясь-б9о]

Жаль что машина хед не было потому что альбом седьмого года - Это самая классика года

[@wesleyreed3534]

awesome

[@kylebartlett7417]

Dude how could you even leave out Peace Sells are you not a MetalHead? MTV even knew how iconic it was so they opened HeadBangers Ball with it! Theres a ton of others your fired!

[@blackcrower2576]

You r awesome

[@Mario-Chunks]

I have to agree with a lot of folks here. The song choices were sub par. To even include SOAD is a travesty. There are so many other songs that could have been showcased. 😫

[@Pufedu]

5:45 White Zombie? Are you sure?

[@scottishbawbag315]

Korn?? Fingers dude.

[@ElAbismo]

Awful choice of riffs. So many better riffs even in the same songs you chose, yet you decide to go with bass riffs that are just guitar line imitations an octave lower or only root notes. Come on man! And then you decide to play Maiden and Korn using a damn pick? No man. Disliking this one...

[@BassPracticeAcademy]

Lol it’s just a list relax bro and go make your own 😛

[@meekentossvonbarr]

U R absolutely correct ☝️🤘 not interesting riffs in this

[@jeffreyjones593]

1983 & 1984 no Cliff Burton Riffs. Of all the Metallica albums choose one from And Justice for All …an aalbum notorious for having the bass turned down. Boo this man.

[@PrimarySweeper13]

First line is fucked I’ve lost interest

[@memer_man02]

Damn, not even any of the better dream theatre songs, kinda a miss

[@stevegillespie8099]

Sorry, but I can agree with most of the songs you listed...but you playing with a pick through most of the finger played songs makes it really sux

[@raymondsarvarian9074]

You have chosen most of the songs with simple bass lines which the bass riffs are basically the guitar riffs. Maybe 4 of them were ok to consider as metal grate base line riffs.

[@meekentossvonbarr]

video by type : look, I have learned not the brightest riffs, which I consider cool and play them with a MEDIATOR🤦🏻🤷🏻

[@gamertdm203]

Bro stop of play with pick and use your fingers

[@blarno]

There's no way the Dr Feelgood bassline was that intricate, and if it was there is no way Nikki Suxx played it.

[@hmk8996]

There is nothing intricate in that bass line.
