To Live Is To Die (Metallica) - Bass Cover (With Tabs) by Leo Düzey

[@zedmadeamps]

That’s so freaking cool how he strums the chord then controls the volume at 4:20 to make is sound like a string

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Volume swells are always amazing :)

[@koosa6289]

Yes, more Metallica please ! So many wrong tabs on the internet, but in your ears I put my trust.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I'll try!

[@ronniefrown3458]

I agree! Metallica are overlooked on bass covers channels.

[@Minnevan]

Jason Newsted doesn’t get enough credit. nailed the cover as always, Leo!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks as always!

[@DaveTaste]

He gets enough credit. Another hugely successful underrated millionaire?

[@twojstary4395]

But this is cliffs lol.Jason just recorded it

[@Godloveszaza]

Cliff wrote this so stop the bs. He does get enough credit he's still the worst bassist the band ever had

[@liamvanwyk5730]

This is cliffs last riff

[@leogeraldo4872]

4:20 pure magik..!!!

[@justcyan123]

The most (and easy) underrated metallica instumental i've heard

[@johankoster1931]

Favorite Metallica song by a mile, this sounds amazing! Can't wait to get home and try this.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Have fun!

[@ShaikhAbdullah-q6m]

And Justice for Jason! 😢

[@rodrigueslazaro]

And justice for all is a great album that could be better if there were bass... Nice work as always, Leo.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Could've been so much better.. Thank you!

[@JohnMatayas]

Search "...and justice for jason" on youtube

[@rodrigueslazaro]

@@JohnMatayas I listened to it some days ago. It is so much better than the original

[@JohnMatayas]

@@rodrigueslazaro It is indeed. They should put that version in spotify.

[@arcanehornet]

@@JohnMatayas the best version of the album for sure is the full album bass cover from “The Bass Channel”. Yes, it isn’t played by Jason but the lines are performed perfectly and the mixing is also just right. I only listen to that these days.

[@Dani._03]

I was looking tabs for this song and most of them were wrong, but then you uploaded this, you made my day thank you a lot Leo!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I'm glad to hear that, no problem!

[@gplog7197]

Those swells were perfect, wow really great perfomance

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks as always :)

[@Bitoginger]

OUTSTANDING COVER

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you!!

[@MegaCurtisimo]

One of my favorite songs of all time!

[@ShawnSlay333]

My band was Blackened and we played this one opener no bassist showed up but it was primarily two guitars metal pedals and a lead. Still remembering 1988-91 🎸❤️‍🩹

[@toolspiral8421]

Thank you Leo. Good Job 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 You deserve more followers. 😃

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you so much man!

[@ShawnSlay333]

It’s good and clean the way it’s played. Very well done .

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks a lot!

[@2giantmonsters]

Ah reminds me of when I was a jean jacket dirtbag! Thank you for the outstanding lesson!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

A pleasure as always!

[@lukaweiss9147]

Mikael said one time "if it wasn't for this song Opeth wouldn't be here today" something like that,at begining i didn't like much And Justice For All but when Mikael said that I start to appreciate this album some more

[@theyescapedtheweightofdarkness]

If that's true I'm incredibly grateful for this song. It is amazing

[@lukaweiss9147]

@@theyescapedtheweightofdarkness yep that's true,if you search for "Opeth guess the riff" on KZbin you may find the video when he speaks that

[@andrewcasey7023]

Phenomenal work as usual! Thank you for this! Would you mind doing a cover of what you think is the hardest bass riffs from Metallica? Their bassists get so under appreciated.

[@andrewcasey7023]

What's super wild is I had this song stuck in my head yesterday. Couldn't figure out why for the life of me. Then this drops. You sir are an angel and I greatly appreciate everything that you do.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks as always! I honestly don't know that many Metallice songs, let alone the basslines.

[@DaveTaste]

Metallica bassists are under appreciated? New fan?

[@DeadFlowerss]

Warwick - that's amazing bass!

[@prettyratik4909]

You're so fuckin awasome, man! You nailed it, great job! ❤️ You did masterpiece 🙈

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you so much!

[@sullun2241]

OH MY LOW END GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@LeoBassCovers2]

No problem!!

[@travisfarnes5783]

at the begging of the video u should post your settings on the amp/pedals etc . ur tone is always epic .

[@2giantmonsters]

That's his voice. It takes time and work but you'll find yours too.

[@JBjopa8]

Great cover 🤘🏻

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you!

[@hectortercero556]

Que pasada de cover 1000/10

[@6md]

yes

[@russianbear6384]

Never realized the bass does the volume swells

[@sullun2241]

it's actually the only part of the album where it's audible

[@6md]

how did you find the official backing track this clear **wink**

[@conormcqregor4393]

Where can I find the tabs for cliffs person?

[@hilarious5804]

You missed a HUGE bass part that starts at 4:09.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Maybe in another version or something? Usually there's just the calm pause there for a few seconds

[@RC_Cubed]

Curious what picks you use and the gauge. I rarely use one but have recognized that they are sometimes crucial in achieving certain tones.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

.045 - .125 for gauge, 0.88MM dunlop Tortex for pick

[@ethanbarc]

Good Bass Cover

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you! :)

[@laurencescrenci1460]

what does the x mean on the tab?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

It's a muted/dead note. You cover the strings with your fretting hand and strum to play that toneless note

[@hugoleichtsinn1126]

wow❤👍😎

[@tetsusiega2]

Hey Leo. I wish I could message you directly to ask you this, but I don’t think I can. I’m starting to try and record covers. I have a Scarlett 2i2 and a couple built-in webcams and my phone…could you point me to a source to show me how you manage to record your audio/video together, or how to record the sound from your amp without a mic? I know that’s a lot to ask, that’s why I’m hoping there’s a video to point me to or something. My whole rig is physical…spent lockdown building a pedalboard and adjusting amps and whatnot to get the sound I wanted, not thinking about how I was ultimately going to record it. It seems like everyone is saying to just go direct and add in digital effects and IR cabs, but that feels like such a slap in the face to what Ive been building. Is there any easy way to record direct from your amp? If it’s too much to ask, I completely understand. I’ll always appreciate everything you’ve done for me and for the bass community as a whole. Thank you forever and always Leo!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

No problem man! But it seems like I can't really help in this case.. I have never even looked at videos about physical rigs, let alone tried it out with my own little shitty bass amp. I guess you really have to just mic an amp and do many trial and error sessions. That's all I can really say.. sorry

[@tetsusiega2]

@@LeoBassCovers2 it’s okay man, I appreciate it anyway!

[@dragontape161]

Can smb please explain to me what this cross in the tablature means?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

It's a muted note/dead note. You cover up the strings with your fretting hand, but still strum it so it's more of a rhythmic note.

[@ChaseFotti]

What bass are you using

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash :)

[@vmsushi]

Would have been cool if this was played with your fingers, but still great video! ❤

[@LeoBassCovers2]

This was recorded by Jason (except for the bridge) so the pick is accurate. But yeah, it's very doable with fingers too

[@lillianbrown6005]

Hey Leo. In your opinion what would be Newstead's best work with Metallica? Whatever that is would you consider covering it? We all love the Cliff stuff. It speaks for itself. But I am curious what someone with your talents thinks would be Jason's best work with them. I feel like he was told to just basically follow the rhythm guitar. Curious what you think...

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I would've loved to answer this properly, but I literally only know like 5 Metallica songs.. Judging from this song, I would definitely agree that Jason just followed the guitar parts apart from the occasional variation. That's all I can really say.. sorry!

[@lillianbrown6005]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Understood! The tone on this is killer. So full and powerful, chunky goodness. Can you generally speak to the tone settings? I did read the bit that "No one will read" lol. You go directly into a computer right?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks! Yeah it's all digital so the bass goes into my audio interface and then into a DAW. I used Parallax to build this tone which is why it sounds quite good. Parallax is just really amazing. Anyway, I think I actually recorded this with my 4 string jazz bass which is why it sounds a bit more chunky. To get that extra punchiness

[@lillianbrown6005]

@@LeoBassCovers2 Great. Now I have to go and get a Jazz bass to add to the Rick, Ray and the P ha ha I do have MACs but I play 100% through a Traynor tube amp. I can't get close to that tone though. Any thoughts? High level I mean (bass, mids, treb, any pedals?). I appreciate there's at least a trillion possible variables ha ha

[@soulknight5330]

4:23 no way this is bass and not violins

[@LeoBassCovers2]

And yet, it is..

**Looks at thumbnail** Well, it is from Justice for all, so I guess that fits

[@dvt1393]

Such a great song. Metallica has always made excellent instrumentals, and I wish that they'd make more. This entire album is fantastic, but is held back by some of the worst production that I've heard on a metal album. The thin guitars, tinny drums, and buried bass really work against the songs. I mean, just listening to your cover proves how much more powerful the song is with prominent bass in the mix. Sadly, Jason Newsted had some great bass work on this album that were all but erased from the final product. Would love to see you cover more songs from this album!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Honestly, I would love to do more Metallica. I don't know a whole lot of Metallica songs but it seems to always be worth learning those songs

[@Cheeseburgerman23]

I thought there wasn't a bass player on this album? obvious fake tab

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Obviously yeah
