In March 2022 I was asked if I would be interested acting as a potential substitute bassist for MONUMENTS in case of a Covid emergency. It so happened to be, that out of all shows, this would be the case at Hellfest on June 19th 2022.
This Video is part of a 15 part MONUMENTS playthrough series. You can find all videos in the series so far here: • MONUMENTS bass playthr...
Originally these videos were intended as a way to show the band where I was at with the songs, so they could correct mistakes before a first show with me, without any rehearsals. Even though some of these parts aren't 100% correct, I still felt some of you might enjoy watching these videos nonetheless. I've been shooting these 15 videos over the course of 3 months, so they've been sitting around for a while now. I'll be uploading another playthrough every two weeks. Hope you guys will enjoy them!
This cover of Cardinal Red is the only song I just covered because I felt like it. I had not yet been asked to potentially sub for a gig or two, I just loved this song a lot and wanted to learn it. At the time I wrote:
''It's been a while since I really felt the urge to cover a song. Cardinal Red has been stuck in my head ever since it's release and with several people suggesting I cover this tune, here we are.''
A massive shoutout to ‪@joaoldmedeiros‬ for the stellar backing track, such a blast to play to! Make sure to subscribe to the man himself on youtube!
