Megadeth - "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" (Bass Cover)

[@mt09242]

It appears that the dog is not a Megadeth fan

[@bladegreen1666]

He probably likes cannibal corpse

[@COYM_1908]

Or Carcass.

James Hetfield’s gonna kick him

[@spamsingles5948]

Dog must be a Metallica fan

[@Bagel-kt1oq]

Cannibalism corps is great tho

[@MrRubyscube]

This guy has the best bass covers on KZbin. Both in song choice, tone and playing.

[@BassPlayer9000]

I 100% agree

[@REALflat1]

Oh his tone is is nothing short of addictive!!!

[@daleonov]

YES.

[@saulvikernes1885]

David504: i challenge you to a bass battle

[@vincentmasterbassist6784]

One day I'll be big enough for people to talk about my tone.

[@JMNTLRDRX]

Finally, a bass player who's not talking shit about using the sinful pick. That shows the musical versatility you have. Your technique is awesome as usual.

[@hiiruss7423]

OMG

[@feverlma]

i love the sound of a pick only thing i dont like is when its used on songs that originally played with fingers

[@sadboi4212]

@@feverlma playing this with fingers might have given him tendonitis lol agreed dude

[@iamgribs]

I don't understand why people give other players shit about using a pick. It is so stupid. Ellefson is the best example why it is stupid. He's a monster. See also Jason Newsted, Rex Brown and countless others!!!!! It's just another method of playing like slap and pop, used for a specific tone and style of music. End of story!!

[@sebg2086]

pick is more easy......period

Seriously how and why do people give a thumbs down to his videos?? This guy is a beast!!

[@crossandres7]

Mmm I'm not proud for the fact that I recognize your pic...

[@inb8676]

Great pfp

[@Longy_b]

I don’t think people appreciate how hard it is to pick like this on a bass; thicker strings and further to travel in between each string when compared to guitar.... all the while stopping the other strings letting out any noise or hum to muddy up the low end. Great job my man! 🤘

[@remx15]

Agreed.

[@TexturaI]

It really a big difference between guitar and bass. My guitarist keeps telling me to use a pick even though it's not as easy as on guitar. I for sure appreciate this as well.

[@nikolainikolai2123]

when you see kello use a pick, yk now some serious shit is coming

[@leonardoross8133]

Un crack... UN CRACK es lo que sos papá. Excelente interpretación. Esa precisión con la pua es muy difícil de imitar, especialmente en esta canción. Tenés demasiado talento... Deberías estar con los grandes. Te deseo lo mejor! Excelente trabajo otra vez.

[@kellogc]

Muchas gracias, te lo agradezco!

[@bRite2]

Go see a doc, dude! Cuz you're sick AF! Lol I'm always blown away by your covers man.

[@eamonahern7495]

I don't know about other commenters but I certainly didn't expect to see a dog casually walk across the room when I started watching. Anyway, great performance. Another great bass performance from David Ellefson is My Last Words.

[@cisco10460]

A Like is not enough to show appreciation for that performance. That was off the charts. Outstanding job brotha.

[@kellogc]

Thank you very much 👊🏻

[@ryanhayes5475]

You've been crazy productive during this whole quarantine keeping us all amazed and entertained. Don't leave us hanging once the world reopens! lol

[@t.9295]

I have watched multiple different covers of this song. I even attended David Ellefson's in #basstory event in Turkey. This one has the same quality as the original. Greetings.

[@kellogc]

Thanks!

[@mthood20]

The Dawn Patrol coda is a nice touch!

[@johnz6977]

I can’t ever get enough of the rhythm underlying the solo at the end with those triplets. The bass just showcases how that part is such pure incredible metal

[@AquidneckRider]

Ellefson would be proud..Awesome job Kello!!!

[@jeffclowes]

Awesome as always Kello, thanks!

[@brandonhofmann5479]

amazing basss cover bruh you killing it

[@nomojo1110]

Ellefson stated that when they opened with this he looked forward to the flamenca part, to give his picking arm a rest. Makes perfect sense now. Great playing man! Nice Dawn Patrol intro/outro ;)

[@IainThacker]

Sounds great - tone is killer and the playing, as ever, a fantastic tribute to the original. I learned this last year as part of a set I played as stand-in bassist with a UK Megadeth tribute and had to learn to play with a pick properly for the first time. David Ellefson is much underrated.

[@sticksman1979]

Dude, Ellefson has been fired. Audition!

[@aeonvongraphomet7196]

Bass tone: 10/10!

[@WelderRiffer]

Ellefson is my favorite, Kello too. Thanks dude,I always enjoy watching your videos !

[@ricobonifacio1095]

[@kellogc]

It can get tricky indeed 👊🏻

[@harveybrien8690]

Love the little dawn patrol at the end. Awesome cover man

[@everhart2107]

Nice job once again Kello. Man I love that Alembic!

[@dangiampietro6606]

Very impressed sir. I usually see you playing with fingers, and there's definitely nothing wrong with that, but to see you play just as well with a pick, major respect.

[@Wolfoe-ex2jj]

Alembic Elans have my favorite bass tone for thrash, played through a solid amp they’re unbeatable

[@lucassantacruz6012]

Kello playing with a pick? Unbelievable! Still so, very EPIC! :P

[@matizkiller]

I was surprised too. :D

[@A_Final_Hit]

Ellefson played this with a pick, so it makes sense that Kello would too. 👍🏼
