Metallica - Sad But True (Drums And Bass Only)

[@lipeguitars]

Lars grooves the hell out of this song !

[@muriloninja]

Yep, BUT listen to how he attacked the drums as well...massive difference and it came across in the recording..incredible!

[@fnv-w3n]

There's like 40 takes edited together to make this final one. Engineer Randy Staub deserves tons of credit. Editing 2" tape is tricky.

[@locsbcn]

All the black album. So groovy this album

[@zakary4708]

this Why That song is Heavy

[@slayer51811]

This song has always been heavy check out the live version

[@isaiasdantas2532]

Jason bass is a lion

[@howyoudoin2969]

Foxbody Boogie nah it’s distorted bass

[@Kreedogger]

@@howyoudoin2969 Watch A year and a Half in the life part 1. You will see Hetfield play that low assed distorted part. They tuned a guitar way down to add to that part.

[@Youboob99]

That is fucking cool. Good catch.

[@bigfarting]

James is playing a low tuned guitar for that growl sound

[@Jesperadoo]

Hahah, James singing in the background practicing

[@shaunketterman2985]

@@JPX64Channel haha just listened to this and that's the first thing I thought about. "I wouldn't ask you to do a drum solo if your arm fell off. Okay buddy? Pal?" lol

[@jaimemorales398]

not practicing, it's a scratch track to help Lars know where he's at at all times. It's how music was recorded in the old days. No grid BS

[@Upsetkiller456]

iirc the highly distorted "bass" notes played during the theme/chorus is actually James playing his guitar through a bass cab.

[@Hoscitt]

Daneldctro baritone to be precise 😁👍

[@illiapetryshchak]

Brutal bass sound \m/

[@muriloninja]

'81 US Spector NS-2 + Newsted heavy attack = fuck yeah! \m/

[@Hoscitt]

You can actually hear Het's baritone in the main riff! Buried in the album mix

[@phillipsmusic3871]

That's the bass Edit: o wait ur right

[@kzadbhat555]

Yup, starts just after 1:30, and picks up several more times throughout.

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

[@jonathanryan2915]

I thought it was distorted bass?

[@mos3]

@@jonathanryan2915 it is edit: actually it's not.. lol my bad.. I just checked the video where he's recording that part and it clearly is a guitar.... sounds bassy as fuck though

[@duncanmathers76]

Favourite metal song ever. That groove is fucking ridiculous, so much swagger.

[@EdPosey]

If i can just play one song on the bass and than die - this was the one to pick for me!!! Hell yeah... Jason is an beast on the bass!!! 🤘 He seems to hit the strings with a hammer.

[@shawnmarshall3911]

wish I could this kinda bass tone

[@NML666]

I believe he used a spector bass on this album, they have a pretty solid tone. So a bass with a harder wood, P/J pickups (active), and a sans amp bass driver would get you somewhere near.

[@muriloninja]

Easy, Spector NS2 (this was a 1981 NS2 Haz Preamp), Ampeg SVT II Pro, SansAmp! There you go! Now get ready to fork over $$$$$$$$$$$ because the NS2 will cost more than the rig and sansamp.

[@JoseyStranded]

@@muriloninja Plus lots of compression in post production. LA-2A most likely.

[@duncanmathers76]

Jason had impeccable taste in gear, IMO. Spectors and Sadowskys - amazing tone, but at superstar prices.

[@pineapplesurprise1461]

I'm pretty sure James did overdubs with a baritone that are being included in this

[@jeffmyron6756]

That groove tho

[@ilyasantonov212]

That verse riff is so underrated

[@omegaprowler3683]

Just like everything in the world, right?

[@sleepinthemorningcalm]

@@omegaprowler3683 No just the verse riff

[@bstevenz]

that pic of lars goes so hard

[@garkenful5]

[@arieldargy3482]

Let’s go Jason

[@artvandelay4485]

It got so much low end its sick! Say what you will but Newsted was thier most solid player for sure.

[@JeffBondOO7]

I hear that you're an amazing architect.

[@micahj894]

cool to hear this! They both played really great. I wonder if it was Bob Rock's Idea to have the overdub distortion bass track.

[@jessedeleon4123]

I’m sure it was, Bob really liked Jason and kinda protected him a little when they were producing the album.

[@AmJaxineer]

It's not a bass track, its a baritone guitar with distortion.

[@VeronicaGorositoMusic]

Almost every rock & metal song has 2 blended basses, one the direct injection (DI) signal going to a distortion pedal, and the other through a cabinet, but I never noticed this in the studio song.

[@NikoFrederiko.]

Baritone guitar.

[@gannonsmith5807]

DI stands for Direct Input

[@thromboid]

Yep, baritone guitar overdub in this one. But interestingly there's an outtake from the making-of video in which Bob Rock mentions samples in addition to the DI, miked and "boombox" tracks. Didn't sound like he was joking, and sounds like it was just for Sad But True. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJzUeaeBd8uGjtU

[@thromboid]

You can also hear some octave doubling in the bass in this video..esp. noticeable in the choruses when the bass has to play higher notes. Don't know if that's the sample bass or just a subharmonic effect. But the overall effect is beefy AF!

[@tibic636]

Damn, Papa Het's guitar sounds so fucking great!

[@clausm2203]

Dat bass Groove😀🤘

[@eforentertainment1420]

just wow for bass!!! wow!!! it's awesome!!!

[@jensharald9091]

Again, with so many other drum tracks of this album you can hear james practicing/recording in the background :D Comical to me

[@jakenielsen5515]

It's not uncommon for a singer to record a "scratch track" for the other band members to play along to as they record. What you're hearing is bleed from that recording into the microphones that recorded the bass/drums.

[@jacobchampoux3312]

Jake Nielsen They live tracked the band and sent only the drums to the tape. Bob liked how they played live so he had them track like they were live

[@joseavilan3751]

Jason🔥 what a bass🤘

[@rawkinj6609]

2 bass tracks! One with overdrive from the mic sound from amp for the chorus and the direct. You hear James in the background!!

[@sebanapo]

The Hetfield God Sound in the back! 😝👌🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@Thorbjrn]

Everything is cool! Thanks, but where is Jason near the Lars?))

[@antho9315]

THAT BARRITONE GUITAR ;)

[@carlwentline1263]

You can really hear the baritone in this 🔥

[@brandontuck2725]

That bass💪

[@micahj894]

also at 3:23, i have always that that is an awesome drum fill!

[@drakonolus7922]

It sounds more badass than the actual finished song from the album. Can't believe.

[@metalhead7203]

hell yeah!

Uh? This isn't And justice for all.

[@zoro21345]

didnt knew the bass playing different in outro in 04:58 cant unhear it now

[@AJ-yi6hg]

As a bass player, I've always known. 😁😁👍

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

It sounds like there was quite a bit of drum bleed going on when the drums were being recorded since James was in the same room as Lars.

[@kevinhughes9200]

Nothing like the sound of a Spector bass!

[@andyoc]

Baritone guitar there too?? Watch a year and a half to see Het playing it.

[@iron4373]

What it felt like drinking apple juice and rolling a fake cigar when you were 9 years old

drums and bass lines alone is GOD LEVEL HEAVYYYYYY

[@wireddiamonddrums5278]

James ? 1:31

[@turbomecatech8102]

Yes, you can hear him throughout the recording. The drum mics picked up his vocals as they recorded the drum tracks live in the studio...

[@AzKaNrelation]

👍👍🎸👍👍🙏

[@slayer51811]

Jason Newstead wasn't a bad bass player at all, sucks that the band bullied him too much that's why he left the band years later

[@uilgen5314]

He is not a bad bassist

[@andrejkelcik4133]

Why does it feel like there is a lot of room in this mix and no that much of a close mics going on, most of the guys do it the other way around, this sounds dope tho
