Curse of the Pharaohs - Mercyful Fate [Bass Playthrough by Becky Baldwin]

"Curse of the Pharaohs" by ‪@MercyfulFateOfficial‬
What's not to love about this one? An iconic early Mercyful Fate track that inspired a new generation of metalheads all over the world. I think of the band as less experimental in the structuring of their songs at this time, but they came up with a lot of great riffs and already had a natural feel for how to put a killer song together. This one is hypnotic and really fun to play along to!

Becky never disappoints

[@doc66torus]

I had that exact bass, same pickup, same color even, and never came close to having such a crushing tone. I didn't know it was possible for a Rick to sound like that! Miss Baldwin is a tone wizard!

Goddam I love me some Becky Baldwin. These play throughs are amazing. Such a great addition to Mercyful Fate. And you GOTTA love a bassist who doesn’t use a pick! Such skill! This pounds you in the chest when you play it with good ear buds!

Love your Bass playing. I'm so inspired by you. Took your advice on the D'Addario NYXL strings and love how bright and punchy/growly they are! I have been a King Diamond and Mercyful Fate fan for years. You're an amazing addition to the band. CONGRATULATIONS!!
