Man, Frank acts like a 16 year old... While David acts like an all-knowing wise father. I love that combo xD

[@udyatb6892]

Frank Bello is the reason I play bass, he is my hero and my inspiration...Frank forever...what an amazing musician!

[@Ironclaw666]

Wow, people pointlessly hating on Frank for something as pitiful as professionalism? Morons. Both David and Frank are incredible players.

[@alicesim332]

fuck professionalism, THIS IS METAL GODDAMNIT!

[@konayuki8525]

@@alicesim332 that mindset Is why young rockers die dude

[@konayuki8525]

@@starieyes7390 I'm not referring to frank, I'm referring to younger musicians with that mindset

[@TSE_WOODY]

@@konayuki8525hey man, you don’t need to be professional to not drink yourself to death. Frank looks like he’s in good health at least, but I do understand what you’re getting at. Too many kids have to be rockstars and do serious damage

[@mikemcdonaldmcdonald1998]

Frank is awesome.I like that he is not a pretentious prick like many musicians.

[@jlarsena]

Tone is in the hands. These two could switch rigs and they would still sound like themselves. If you think you can plug into Lemmy's, Steve Harris or John Myung's rig and sound like them, try it.

[@dylangreen9819]

jlarsena take it account eq's as well. if ellefson plugged into harris rig or lemmys it would be awkward. it would be loud in lemmys and very warm and heavy on treble in harris's rig

[@ImYourOverlord]

Anyone who wants to approximate (because let's face it, no bassist will ever sound 100% like another) can use the same settings on gear and also use the same hand techniques, and get close. Sometimes close enough is close enough. We do it because we look up to the great players so much, and want to pay respect and improve ourselves at the same time.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

I see the name John Myung and I comment lol he’s my all time bass hero for 27 yrs now !! He’s the man!! Then Ryan martinie!! My two bass hero’s!!

[@panamajack5972]

Logically unsound statement.

[@triplehood]

it's kind of fun to see people hate on either Frank or Dave while they're very close friends :P

[@patrickhale424]

Two gr8 bass player's who are really underrated!!! Love Anthrax and Megadeth!!

[@damaco78]

Frank is damn crazy...love it!

[@veshijr101]

Frank Bello and Owen WIlson

[@dambrooks7578]

Frank Bello is both an incredibly impressive player that looks so much like he just really enjoys playing. His advice about the importance of accepting that learning never ends combined with the the enjoyment of finding new things to learn and new people to learn from is very inspiring.

[@willober7990]

Frank is amazing.

[@NikkieRoxxx]

Frank is a blessing!

[@mmddmm553]

This is why I really like KZbin. I just came across this freaking awesome watching man and playing bass 40 years still like watching this video clips play on everyone

[@Freakenbacker]

They make me want to take my bass and play. That's cool.

[@jasonivea2610]

Freakenbacker me too, that's a good quality for them to have

[@timhunt2500]

For ever a student in all things. Music is no#1! 45 yrs. My hair stands up every day.

[@santanajackson8829]

Yeah I always loved frank and David and they both are ones that help inspire me to play bass . Geezer butler is my #1 inspiration and I always strive to play like geezer and have the David Ellenton type of tone and have that wild energy like frank Bello. They're all great bass players

[@videofreak58]

too much hate here in the comments, why can't people just appreciate both.

[@Alex_Ruiz1013]

Yo los aprecio a ambos, ambos son brutales y hacen bien su trabajo :v

[@racerdeth]

Man I'd love if this had been recorded properly

[@MrOmniNerd]

Oh my god, Am I Evil at the end nearly killed me, that was amazing. XD

[@thelegend-vb7ep]

Bello is an awesome bass player. Tasteful licks all over. Not following the guitar at all, flowing through the neck. Very inspiring personality too.

[@021Sweden]

ellefson is such a amazing bassplayer ... way better then ALOT of other metal bassplayers !!!

[@brianjezuit4085]

I just got my Bass for my Birthday three weeks ago, and David Ellefson haZ become one of my favorite Bass players in that short period of time! 🎸 I can watch and listen to the guyZ playing for hours on end. Being brand new to Bass (I'm a life-long drummer), I notice that my musical background in general iZ helping me learn much quicker than the norm. Bass iZ such an underrated instrument! There iZ so much to it, and I'm really enjoying the Bass journey!!! Holy Wars = 16:12 Starting on Bass = 27:10 Writing Symphony Of Destruction = 29:00 Five Magics = 34:40

[@jcdenton616]

These 2 guys along with Tom Araya AND Robert Trujillo all seem like really chilled people and it's great to see :)

[@DJNUMA]

"My Mothe- nah we arent doin it."

[@Adam_Aiman]

Man if Cliff Burton was here.. the sound of his monstrous bass man 😭🤤🤤

[@NamekJedi]

I love them both

[@MegaMouldyBanana]

David ellefson: you know *breath* you know.. *breeeath* you know *gasp

[@MegaMouldyBanana]

+MegaMouldyBanana No hating lol i love dirty dave

[@jwardbass4452]

Bass playing is hard work

[@victorscherman1437]

Drinking game: take a shot every time Ellefson says "you know or y'know"

Thanks for defending me out there Dark

[@saulfermusic]

Excellent master class from part of Ellefson: precise, direct, usefull, well sustented. Ellefson is The Bass Player

[@NikkieRoxxx]

I love Frank for his RESPECT he had for women, now his wife, who he's always been faithful to. I love Satriani and Vai, too :)

[@337camo]

ellefson is the master of tone!

[@NickynickyXXX]

Who's the master ? The one who sued his bandleader and lost, or the one who stayed strait on with his band ???

[@337camo]

NickynickyXXX So irrelevant...Anyways, considering that suing a band member doesn't deal with the tone of a bass, i'm gonna stick with Ellefson.

[@HabAnagarek]

Ellefson's a good player, no doubt, but I was always attracted to Bello's Harris/Geezer-inspred finger style - a little sloppier, more Bronx, more fuckin' metal.

[@GuyOnTheInternet53]

I was 100% into geddy lee, he's still my hero

[@inspectorbudget]

Geddy & Steve were my biggest rock bass influences.

[@marco_andy02]

3:08 Caught In A Mosh (Anthtax) 16:13 Holy Wars (Megadeth)

[@guitarriff333]

Too many dickheads on this comment section, Frank and David are incredible bass players and incredible guys, the amount they have done for metal is incredible, awesome guys.

[@tambor76]

Great video.....Thumbs Up!

[@PEDROCLASSIC]

It would be hella cool if Steve Harris shows up unexpectedly!!! Hell yeaaahhhh!!!

[@ClarkKentGilles]

My 2 favorite bass players along with Steve Harris..and also very nice and good men !

[@metalmikejr]

Trust me man frank is not a dick. I met him and got to jam with him, hes down to earth, hes just an everyday guy. The day after I met him I went and saw anthrax and he pulled me and my band off to the side to meet the rest of the guys.

[@NikkieRoxxx]

He's one of them rare angels on Earth.

[@jlarsena]

This is great, but they need to mic the questions or repeat them.

[@NamekJedi]

Anthrax and testament would be an amazing show

[@Cheremil]

24:49 How many times he said "you know"?

[@swehog]

Cheremil Holy, you know, crap.

[@Alex_Ruiz1013]

Ya perdi la cuenta en el 10° you know...

[@snoopersmokio]

it's an LA dialect thing

[@JohnSmith-cl2sq]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bassimprovjams3772]

I really wish I could play with my bass as low as frank it looks so cool! Especially in metal music. I play with my bass like Ryan martinie . It’s up there a bit lol but it’s how we stop our wrists from being so bent idk how frank and Steve Harris does it I’ll try it and after a minute I’m like NOPE! Lol

[@danickchagnon4338]

David is so solid ! In the pocket !

[@ulasgursoy2838]

these guys are super-likeable

[@Scotty_Russell_Music]

what is dave on about " i didn't gel with certain drummers in megadeth" up till Countdown it would have been boring but steady Chuck,he seems perfect for daves rudimentary rock style,he surely surely can't be referring to The late great Gar Samuelson? Gars one of the best metal drummers ever,jazzy as hell,sweet chops.

[@microondasletal]

Pick Bass players are sooooooo underrated... I'm one of them :'(

[@harrycook9041]

Another over here. I can play with fingers, but I find a pick more fun and better for metal.

[@woofystevenson2943]

i always found a pick unwieldy as fuck on bass

[@AntonioPerez-xo4hm]

Microondas Letal More pick players than finger players to be honest.

[@MrJerm200]

Hell no, with metal if you can’t slap or pull then you’re not a metal player. Picking fits punk rock best

[@garymorrison4139]

I see some great players perform using an ESP bass with a Hartke amp and speakers.. Coincidently and by process of elimination, I have settled on a similar rig with an ESP LTD B-204. This rig is economical, minimal and in the end, offers the best tone control.

[@aarondavis4341]

Frank could a been a comedian ,if he didn't become a bass player

[@asgaard636]

Love the tee shirt!!

[@SleepFan771]

Frank Bello = Professional There should have been more Frank Bello here. They cut him off?! Oh well, I also think Frank has way better tone. FAT!

[@dougfunny2347]

This is what Frank does during a hangover? Awesome, when I grow up I wanna be just like him!

[@ZAUT44]

sooooo funneeeeeh!

[@jacobwilliams1736]

So you guys need to reap load this right after frank yells the sounds gone. Please fix it because Dave is my favorite rock bassist and I really want to see this.

[@acidstorm001]

This was really cool, just too bad the playing parts were overloading during recording. :(

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

The Best Bass Players !! Sadly Chris Squire (Yes) and John Wetton (King Crimson, UK) died years ago !! ; ( Thankfully Geddy and Gezzer are still with us !!! : D

[@bloodydawn91]

I'm not sure if its just me but the sound completely does on 3:52 is it me or the video?

[@allytv2198]

Any musicians on here with anything recorded ? I'm looking to hear some new music. I have a lil bit of mine on my channel .

[@SuperChargedDogs]

I change my strings like once a year, if that XD

[@TheHotspurs81]

Yes. Me to. Theyre so expensive :/

[@Hellion73]

TheHotspurs81 Sure strings are expensive, and none of us are sponsored...but its more expensive fix or refreting bass, because old strings oxid cause damage frets :(.

[@bjabbott8717]

Anybody know what kind of strap Dave is using?

[@elperroandaluz9299]

La puta ostia joder....!!!!es jodidamente bueno este bajo distorsionado...es como más me gusta parece las orugas de un tanque....

[@prettynoose8497]

Why is the sound quality shitty???

[@NamekJedi]

3 years later.... the sound is bad because its so loud it just comes through the mic like that

[@percyastetejauregui]

Lastima q no hicieron la grabación con un buen sonido .satura mucho ..

[@treverpitts]

its just camera audio that why its bad

[@snoopersmokio]

Ellefson all the way

[@DaniEIdiomas]

The sound seems normal to me, I watched it all

[@basstor1]

how difficult can it be to get a decent sound from a bass and an ipod???

[@Saimeren]

Is it the bass and the Ipod, or is it the camera recording it?

[@jordansullivan3087]

What's the song about 35 minutes in?

[@juggis]

Megadeth - Five magics

[@Peanutz996]

54:55 so good :)

[@davidgarcia6796]

What is the name of 2nd Megadeth one that Dave plays

[@juggis]

I think it is five magics

[@dan62273]
