Some Heads Are Gonna Roll Bass Cover

[@adamsBASSCOVERS]

AWESOME!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks!

[@crashkamio5819]

What a solid player Ian Hill is. Much respect to him for being such a great foundation. Priest do put on a great show. Think I saw them in 08 or 09 and they were great. That was interesting about playing that B note in two different areas in succession. Something I never really thought of in the context of a riff before. Very cool!

[@TJH3113]

Truth!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Classic metal man! And of course happy birthday to Ian! Cheers for the great work as always.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks!

[@bjohnson17]

Just saw him in Colorado in November. He is the metronome.

[@TJH3113]

Very cool! Truth!

[@marvinewilliams8281]

My head is rolling as you thrill me with this video. Awesome Troy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marvine :-)

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Marvine!

[@roraza1978]

Love It !!! My favorite band!!! I’ve been watching you since I was 16yrs old I’m now 27!!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Ro! Wow! We're getting old, aren't we? Haha!

[@terryrollins1973]

Killer🔥🔥🔥This song always reminds me of the first time I did acid in the 80s 🤣🙌

[@TJH3113]

Thanks! The first time I did mescaline I went home and watched Phantasm. I'm pretty sure it gave me brain damage.

[@Endureth]

3-4 years ago I had to learn this for a Judas Priest tribute band I was in. I couldn't find anyone on KZbin covering it at the time. So I worked it out myself made my own cover and put it up here on KZbin. Compared to what you got here, I think I did pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

[@TJH3113]

Awesome!

[@JsnHgl]

Great cover of an underrated tune. Loved this song when I would play the cassette, yes, cassette on my boom box. Haha.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Jason, I'm really glad that you liked it.

[@Twobarpsi]

Wow!! Right up my alley! Priest 🤘!!

[@TJH3113]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Twobarpsi]

@@TJH3113 yes I did! That sliding down riff you were questioning is exactly how I would play it on guitar. Sometimes you have to put "how do I play this" in context with the style of music. The "most metal" way is the right way 😃🤘

[@ChazinFl1]

Thank you! Ian is so underrated!

[@TJH3113]

Thank you! Agreed!

[@songoflovemetalofficial]

perfect notes

[@DEREKONMAUI]

Sabbath and Priest are my favorite bands. Thanks for some Priest this morning

[@TJH3113]

Very cool! No problem!

[@Spector2112]

Always love when you use that NS-2A.. A time capsule for me, seeing exactly what mine used to be. Great song choice

[@TJH3113]

I wound up selling the black one and keeping this one. Thanks Brad!

[@paulgillespie8289]

Troy been following you for a couple of years now your a great player thanks for the Ian Hill a very underrated bass player in metal dig into earlier priest his bass lines were all over the place hope to see more Ian on the channel I'm a bass player also lefty in the house peace keep rocking love your content

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Paul! Anything specific that you would suggest?

[@jonathanchevallier7046]

Big metal sound. Good job Troy ;-)

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot!

[@sethchrisman1645]

Yeahhhh! Priest! To me- best metal band. My dad played a Kramer guitar in a high school band that did Judas Priest around when this came out. Awesome!

[@TJH3113]

My friend Harry played a Kramer for many years. It was a great guitar. He still misses it.

[@michaelfischerbassmaster]

Great tune, and great performance, Troy!👏🏻🎵🙌🏻

[@TJH3113]

Thanks so much!

[@joedecker3900]

My favorite from that album, saw that tour also. Sounds great!

[@TJH3113]

Cool! Thanks Joe.

[@JReed7560]

I have a Spector similar to yours there but it's a dark wood grain. Beautiful. I think mine is the Spector invader? I'm not sure of the name. My friend has a six string version. Anyway that's an awesome song, one of my favorite Priest tunes. Thank you. 👍

[@TJH3113]

Very cool! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@crazeyjoe]

Excellent work, Troy!

[@TJH3113]

Thank you very much, Joe!

[@Brian_Vallejo]

That was badass! Haven't heard this song in a couple years 🤘

[@TJH3113]

I'm glad you liked it.

[@PhotogV]

Love it!

[@TJH3113]

So glad!

[@alanbhz8367]

Great, Troy!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Alan!

[@ultimatebasses]

Nice to see Judas Priest still rocking the airwaves.

[@TJH3113]

Indeed!

[@Reptile8740]

Yeah the use of the B flat on both strings reminds me of when I was trying to learn Vital Signs by Rush by ear. When it gets to the fill in the reggae like part I was curious how the B flat just sounds off when you just stick to doing it on the 1st fret on the A string, but then I found an isolated track where you can hear Geddy clearly shift up to 6th fret on the E string. Just goes to show that playing the same note but in a different spot can make a difference lol loved the video as always!

[@TJH3113]

Sometimes your ears will play tricks on you. Thanks!

[@markbass354]

SOUNDS REALLY GOOD TROY GRAZIE

[@TJH3113]

Thank you Mark

[@PushSueAside]

Awesome as always Fonzy!!! YOU are freaking awesome. I hope all is well. I didn’t know Ian Hill’s b day was so close to mine (the 27th) I hope your week is Amazing. Stay safe.

[@TJH3113]

Thanks a lot Tommy and happy belated birthday to you!

[@samhelsel443]

A+ as usual. Thanks Troy as I had asked you to cover a Priest tune a while ago so much gratitude to you for this one People get down on Ian Hill but I think he plays the right thing at the right time and let Glenn and KK do their thing. Plus, he's Rob Halfords brother in law! Check out "Tyrant" or "Victim of Changes" off the Unleashed in the Easy album. Good stuff. Have a great weekend Troy!!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Sam, I’m really glad that you liked it. I’ll check out your other suggestions… You never know.

Right on love starting my morning with priest 🤘🤘🤘 Nice cover 💯

[@TJH3113]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jeffyoung8726]

Alright Troy, got some Judas Priest in the mix. Rock on!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Jeff.

[@ebx100]

Like you, I never listened to the heavy metal genre much until I got older. I actually never heard of this song before, but enjoyed this video. Maybe it's your bass playing...🥸

[@TJH3113]

Cool. Thanks.

[@travismiller9027]

Troy I gave you a 👍before you even started. Because I'm smart like that!

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Travis!

[@ML-vc8zs]

Another great cover!

[@TJH3113]

Wow, thank you!

[@timdoog42]

Ians a great bassist. He once played fender J-basses then switched to hamer basses back in the early 80s,

[@TJH3113]

Yes, he definitely serves the song. He played a Jazz bass for many years, but then I think he played a Hamer for a while. He's been playing Spectors for a bit now and has his own signature bass.

[@timdoog42]

@@TJH3113 yeah.He dorles have his signature basses that are pretty darn good

[@mmddmm553]

I am never disappointed great job as always 👍🏻

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Brian.

[@philwesty21]

Great tune! You must have a look at Elevate by the Winery dogs sometime. Awesome mid section.

[@TJH3113]

It is, isn't it? I'll check it out.

[@fidiasperez]

Genial como siempre!

[@TJH3113]

¡Muchos gracias!

[@emptynester9241]

Priest, Priest!

[@TJH3113]

🤘

[@adamwarlock3530]

Randy Rhoads did the same thing, when it comes to playing same notes on different strings in a progression. SATO was like that. My band played it in the early '80s.

[@TJH3113]

Very interesting. I wonder if he did it for proximity or tonal reasons?

[@TheGrebnaws]

More Judas Priest. Ian Hill is the rock solid foundation of band.

[@TJH3113]

Truth!

[@mickcrocodiledundee6353]

@@TJH3113 Ian has some very cool busier basslines on the early records, he toned it down when they went for a more commercial direction but you still get nifty stuff like The Rage from time to time.

[@ChazinFl1]

When did Priest open for Def Leppard?!? I thought it has been more than 40 years since they played on the same stage.

[@TJH3113]

My best guess would be 2018... at Bethel Woods.

[@ChazinFl1]

@@TJH3113 Wow, nice!! I love both but never saw them together. I am a new subscriber. I play guitar and I love watching your vids. Its nice to see someone really paying attention to the small details and nailing every song. Very impressive sir! My fav bassists are Geezer Butler, Bob Daisley, Geddy Lee, and Justin Chancellor. Rock on!

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

Hell Yeah Judas F-ing Priest !!!!!!!!! Sorry for the response but it’s Saturday morning and I haven’t had my cup of coffee yet

[@TJH3113]

Glad you liked it!

[@thomasfarmer1730]

I like your diverse covers…… ever thought about maybe a few really fast thrash ,crossover thrash songs,you’ll have to use a pick… some of the bass tabs I’ve seen on Songsterr of various 80’s thrash bands are great

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Thomas. Unfortunately, I could not play with a pick if my life depended upon it.

[@TheStuport]

I was not into Heavy Metal music....BUTT....there are a few Bands and tunes of that genre that I did appreciate! I did in fact listen to a bit of Judas Priest and that was because MTV played them so much that after awhile I gave in to the musicianship of their work! As you mentioned too Troy, as we get older it's amazing how many tunes and bands we end up enjoying after all those earlier younger years of absolutely avoiding that "style of music"! For me, I've never been a cord or note guy as I learned to play my Bass from simply hearing and watching how and where The Real Rocker deployed their fingers on the necks of their Axes! Trial and error ever since but for me it has worked! Appreciate the story of Mike Fransko! Cheers From Ohio Bruddah

[@TJH3113]

Thanks for yet another wonderful comment.

[@briceleclercq101]

Awesome choice & cover ! For me Defenders of the Faith is Judas Priest best album and Ian Hill is a great bass player. When you have two lead guitar players like KK and Glenn and a singer like Rob Halford, the bass and the drums has to be very solid and work as a foundation...

[@TJH3113]

Thanks Brice. I'm glad you liked it.

[@theghostofsw6276]

Gotta give "Dreamer Deceiver" a go sometime.....that one, and "Run of the Mill" were Ian's best. Priest simplified the rhythm section (Bass/Drums) after Stained Class for a more mainstream metal sound.....it just never compared to the epic early days.

[@TJH3113]

I'll check it out.

[@vlodpg]

Just a driving bass! 😊

[@TJH3113]

You know it!

[@NFlight]

One of the few songs where Hill actually changes notes.

[@TJH3113]

Haha!

[@AndreSP89]

Yes absolutely! I had the same problem with this one, E twice but different string its just a little after the Current time Stamp in this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWnNqKlnac53Z5I ....if you slow it down you see I do E twice different strings I thought it was a different note but nope not at that part, and you can't find anything on Captain Beyond really off this album.

[@TJH3113]

Very cool! I had to look hard to see your example, but I found it.

[@AndreSP89]

@@TJH3113 Right on!
