[BASS COVER] Slayer - Angel of Death

[@lordundhimself1310]

This song sounds so much heavier and more immersive with the bass actually audible

[@Cocorikot]

If bass could always sound like that ....

[@geraldorodriguew3605]

Man once I see some guys saying that tom bass is used to avoid the friction between guitar and drum. (That explain why tom plays the same guitar riffs on it)

[@bcardamone]

Yea. Sounds great.

[@ERICF66]

That’s one reason that I like Hell Awaits more that RIB.....Toms bass is up in the mix and you can hear it clearly!👍🏽😎🔥 Excellent job dude! You nailed it!!🔥🔥💀💀😎👍🏽

[@popkorn256]

Yeah it was great, I think he could have pushed the bass a little more forward

[@wattamugen4055]

That's some wicked finger work wew!

[@jamescarter3708]

[@matthewbeckwith663]

Is he using 2 or 3 fingers?

[@insidewater]

@@matthewbeckwith663 in the player -> settings -> playback speed -> 0.25 I only see two fingers omg

[@GravisLucem]

How did his fingers not go up in flames from moving that fast? That was incredible finger work. Great job.

Its not as fast as you think

Either I'm blind or I've just seen someone match up with Lombardo's kicks with one finger? Jesus christ. Absolute sick cover!

[@quentondaniels8536]

Exactly

[@ronbashop1177]

Absolutely under-rated....

[@Ap-sz4nb]

Actually he isnt very accurate with his bass playing live.

[@ominousvirus5278]

Yeah ^, and his playing in the actual studio recording is a bit sloppy, possibly why its pretty much inaudible. You can’t blame him though, his vocals are top notch!

[@Ap-sz4nb]

@@ominousvirus5278 not sure about that, kerry kind mentioned in an interview that he was playing bass on recordings for several albums

[@JJ-yk6il]

He’s so jazzy about how he plays metal bass lol. Love it

[@turq1824]

Metal is basically like jazz on serious steroids

[@BIueFalcon]

Damn this guy got skills. Fingering, timing, tone, facial expressions.........all spot on 👌

Audible bass always makes a song more badass. Thunder is always badass.

[@ramsarconvention3380]

What a right hand ! Following the guitars in such a tempo is no easy task. Amazing work man !

[@bradkneale7580]

pretty sure its all half time bass in the 16th note parts

[@tobieshmusic]

Have always been thinking about what's missing in Slayer's records. Now I have the answer🤘

*My mans got the fastest fingers in the Wild Wild West.*

[@samhudson390]

Always wondered why Slayer never had louder bass, always sounds amazing when I hear it like this.

[@raincrow9673]

Not only is this man a killer bass player he has excellent taste in music. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@lucasmazzi]

OMG man, this is so stuning

[@kevinsantiago9079]

Every lick as strong as a bomb. Wouldn't want to shake hands with him in case I can not play my bass ever again afterwards.

[@TheBryanKelly1]

HOLY Alex Webster, Batman! He did that without a pick! Very nice!

[@lrm215]

Love the bass playing

[@longdark4ever]

The "Riff" part as it was called, is probably one of the heaviest riffs (besides the middle section of Pantera's Domination) in the history of metal, and the best era for Slayer by far. Very well done cover, it's nice to actually hear the bass in Slayer songs, bravo!!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Agreed...

[@thomasfarmer1730]

Good to see Tom's bass playing getting some notice 🤘

[@gustavovalladares5296]

However, this bass cover follows the guitars more than the actual bass track does. Tom Araya's bass playing is more simplistic, and, in Reign In Blood particularly, sloppy.

[@fedora997]

@@gustavovalladares5296 Tom's bass lines may be simple, but they fit Slayer songs really well

[@alexheigher6756]

I don't think that Tom actually plays along with the guitar licks, he just keeps the pedal tone going. I'm glad you did the hard stuff awesome job!

[@andreasdeutinger7319]

fantastic finger work, josh.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

That bloodcurdling, hair-raising, spine-tingling uber-shriek at the beginning still puts a big happy grin on my face every time I hear it. When I first heard that, mind you, it scared the daylights out of me! Lord UND is right; if there had been actual low end on this record, it would've have been even better than it already is.
