Come To The Sabbath - Bass playthrough by Becky Baldwin

On the 27th of September I was announced as the touring bass player for Mercyful Fate on their North America shows this Autumn (all dates can be found on mercyfulfatecoven.com/ )
Here's a video of me practicing 'Come To The Sabbath' at home before I join them on the road. Thank you to the band for asking me to be a part of this tour, I am truly honoured to play the basslines of Timi Hannsen and Joey Vega. Joey, I hope you enjoy your Amored Saint tour as much as I will enjoy filling in for you!

Congratulations on becoming a permanent member of Mercyful Fate. You completely deserve it.

Saw Becky's first show with Mercyful Fate, in Dallas, she killed it. Amazing performance

[@NoirTech83]

I was there too!

[@MetalInstituteofThrashology]

So glad she is now permanent. No one deserved it more! Saw them in Maryland, drove 4 hours to see them. So worth it!!!!❤

[@keithwebb9866]

Just saw Becky with Mercyful Fate in Philadelphia. Amazing show, Becky was killing it, great stage presence!!!

[@dsadsa208]

That is going to be incredible playing with Mercyful fate. Stay heavy!🤘

[@Brian-qg8dg]

You and the band killed it last night in LA 10/29/22. Sound was also amazing

[@daverichards9141]

Yep she can play... AMAZING!

[@luisveas869]

You are amazing Becky, I saw you in Chile with the King (april 22), absolutely amazing show, congratulations

[@apocalypticraid7591]

Saw the Brooklyn, NY show at Kings Theatre and the bass work was fantastic. As someone who *loves* the bass on the studio albums, an absolutely huge surprise to see just how accurate and well-played the lines were.

[@user-rn3th9ri9v]

I Love You Merciful Fate! I Love You Becky!

[@r.plante2916]

You're doing Timi's lines proud, finger-picking on a Rick (how it should be), keep up the great work.

[@BeckyBaldwinBass]

Hey! Just a heads up for any fellow bass players out there, if you are interested to know exactly what I'm playing here and you read either TAB or standard notation, I have written out a transcription in full, which you can access by signing up to my Patreon on www.patreon.com/beckybaldwinbass Thanks for all of your support and kind comments! Touring with Mercyful Fate was a truly incredible experience!

[@daverichards9141]

How did you get the gig? Who contacted who? Audition?

[@jimmiebourque2234]

Always nice to land a gig!congrats

[@gwrtxiii7566]

WOW! Merciful is one of my favorite bands since I started listening to metal in 1985. Ricken basses are also one of the best instruments. And what do we get when great music is played on a great instrument by a wonderful and charming musician? Expected admiration and joy. :-) Thank you, Becky! We hope that your creativity and the parts and songs you have composed will delight us no less than the cool performance of the classics! (like and subscribe - let's metal!) 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@jseipp]

You crushed it in Silver Spring!! The end of Evil fucking ripped. Glad I got to see this lineup.

[@LiamShannon-hc8mr]

You are truly awesome Becky!🤘‼️ A great inspiration. Stay Heavy with King & The Fate!
