Alkaline Trio - Armageddon Bass Cover

[@mattc8347]

Never realized how melodic the bass riff was I love it

[@Stephaniealk3]

The bass is always too low in most alk3 songs sadly. Wish it was louder!

[@mattc8347]

@@Stephaniealk3 it’s only such a clean riff it amazing I play guitar drums and bass so I was curious about this song

[@brandoesntsocialise]

Mr. Adriano is no slouch. Probably my favorite bassist. He really puts in the work that a faster paced power trio needs and it shows.

[@brandoesntsocialise]

Not sure where the n went haha

[@cash_lovell]

Dude, Dan is a fucking Mad Man, he doesn’t look it and he so fucking Akward every time he talk but dude is a psychopath on the bass

[@Anonymous-jy5ew]

Dan Adriano makes the band, not skibba. Thanks for the awesome cover and actually playing loud enough over the song unlike a lot of "covers" that use the actual song to smother their talent.

[@doublezeta2025]

Wow, I didn't realize how rad the bassline is.

[@desolationangel6173]

Dan is a monster, I don't even know how to tackle these songs

[@CiaranWard]

Yeah dude! I can only dream of tackling an Alkaline Trio song once I've heard it a thousand times and I'm super familiar with it haha

[@liamebers6844]

Song is so hard. To play and it goes hard

[@CiaranWard]

It definitely goes hard! 💪🏻

[@DasLulu97]

This is such an underrated song in general and especially the bass part!

[@CiaranWard]

Absolutely! I've been familiar with this song since I was a kid but I never realised the bass was so busy

[@jee911]

Dan is a beast. Good job

[@moocow1431]

One of my favorite alkaline trio songs

[@jakexdex]

another spot on cover. never stop uploading my dude.

[@CiaranWard]

Thank you man! I'm gonna keep it up until I run out of songs I wanna cover or I get bored, hopefully neither will happen any time soon 😂

[@rexarei4953]

I looked up this cover in a whim, not expecting anything crazy, but gahdamn this is gold. The comments section talking about the nuances of the cover is incredible too. All in all 10/10 for the video and the comment section.

[@CiaranWard]

Thank you dude! You're absolutely right, all the comments people leave are honestly better than the videos themselves. Super grateful for them!

[@matthewperkins989]

Man I miss my Fender Aerodyne!!! I had the black one. Gonna have to get another one now after seeing this. Lol!

[@frankm8210]

Awesome! You’re giving me a new appreciation for songs I’ve been listening to for years.

[@MuseBG]

Sick cover! One of my favourites from the Trio ... Would love to see Goodbye Forever now :) Keep it up man! Love your vids!

[@CiaranWard]

Thanks dude! I'll give it a listen 😊

[@maple9706]

Great cover dan is alk

[@Chelsestein]

super rad! have a talent bro.

[@brad1953]

Awesome job, you are very talented!

[@jakebarnes3367]

Dan is a literal machine, every time I want to put myself in some terminal pain I just play any of their songs. That one looks busy but idk if it’s as crazy as cringe, what do you think is the trickiest one you know how to play or just one you think is too much for you to mess with?

[@CiaranWard]

Dan is a fucking beast! Yeah, I agree that Cringe is slightly trickier. The hardest one I've learned it probably Jaked on Green Beers. Definitely not the most technical but it's fast and you still have to run up and down the fretboard haha

[@beek1377]

Thats a sexy looking bass guitar. Nice shirt too

[@CiaranWard]

Thank you! This bass is definitely too pretty to be wielded by someone like me haha

[@Cakes239]

You kill it in every cover man... Can't stop watching. Great bass too!

[@CiaranWard]

Thanks Carlos! I appreciate it 😊

[@jackdylan2002]

Very nice work sir, but may I ask why you played an A# instead of an A at 0:09?

[@CiaranWard]

Cause I'm human dude 😂 it's technically out of key but it doesn't sound too bad to me

[@jackdylan2002]

@@CiaranWard I guess. It added a bright, jazzy E Lydian/C# Dorian kind of flavour.

[@CiaranWard]

Let's pretend I did that on purpose 😂

[@Walli182Katy4EVA1]

Fuck 🙃🙃🙃 ❤️❤️❤️ that bassline kicks aaass ^^

[@randygonzalez1454]

Sick cover brother

[@CiaranWard]

Thanks Randy! No I don't have tabs unfortunately, sorry about that!

[@oneman49instruments]

Very nice sound, with attack, with attitude! Well played!!!

[@CiaranWard]

Thank you man!

[@xfogscapex]

insane dude

[@CiaranWard]

Thanks! Definitely a tricky one haha

[@Chelsestein]

super sick. want to learn that song but its impossible for me.

[@cris.badfish]

Solid! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@CiaranWard]

Thank you man!

[@CosmicPowerCP]

Classic

[@CiaranWard]

Yeah dude!

[@kalebmorgan7876]

Any chance you'll do minds like minefields?

[@AfterMusicar]

hey, can you do my god is the sun, or if i had a tail by qotsa?

[@CiaranWard]

Could definitely give my god is the sun a shot

[@FleaFan16]

Did you cover this by ear? Been trying to find a good tab for a bit

[@gregpainter8805]

You dont have a tab for this do you?

[@arnavvasa1590]

Hey Ciaran, I have a request for you. Can you do a bass cover of Hysteria by Muse or Don’t Stop Believing by Journey. If you don’t do my request, that’s fine by me.

[@CiaranWard]

No sorry man, I'm not a fan of either of them really

[@randygonzalez1454]

Tabs ?

[@mingecakes]

Do Mr Chainsaw!!

[@stevebadachmusic]

not that i can hear anything weird, but that bridge doesn't look intonated.

[@CiaranWard]

You know what I thought the exact same thing and took a look at it the other day. It was a little bit out but nothing major. Even now the E and A saddles look way too far forward haha. I've intonated three bridges recently and all the saddles are in completely different places, it's weird haha
