[BASS COVER] Slayer - Angel of Death

[@lordundhimself1310]

This song sounds so much heavier and more immersive with the bass actually audible

[@Cocorikot]

If bass could always sound like that ....

[@geraldorodriguew3605]

Man once I see some guys saying that tom bass is used to avoid the friction between guitar and drum. (That explain why tom plays the same guitar riffs on it)

[@bcardamone]

Yea. Sounds great.

[@ERICF66]

That’s one reason that I like Hell Awaits more that RIB.....Toms bass is up in the mix and you can hear it clearly!👍🏽😎🔥 Excellent job dude! You nailed it!!🔥🔥💀💀😎👍🏽

[@popkorn256]

Yeah it was great, I think he could have pushed the bass a little more forward

[@wattamugen4055]

That's some wicked finger work wew!

[@jamescarter3708]

[@matthewbeckwith663]

Is he using 2 or 3 fingers?

[@GravisLucem]

How did his fingers not go up in flames from moving that fast? That was incredible finger work. Great job.

"Incredible finger job. Great work."

[@Ominous_Skies]

Its not as fast as you think

[@FalseSaiyan420]

Either I'm blind or I've just seen someone match up with Lombardo's kicks with one finger? Jesus christ. Absolute sick cover!

[@Daruliable]

And he sings along while he plays, Araya is kind underrated

[@quentondaniels8536]

Exactly

[@ronbashop1177]

Absolutely under-rated....

[@Ap-sz4nb]

Actually he isnt very accurate with his bass playing live.

[@ominousvirus5278]

Yeah ^, and his playing in the actual studio recording is a bit sloppy, possibly why its pretty much inaudible. You can’t blame him though, his vocals are top notch!

[@Ap-sz4nb]

@@ominousvirus5278 not sure about that, kerry kind mentioned in an interview that he was playing bass on recordings for several albums

Every lick as strong as a bomb. Wouldn't want to shake hands with him in case I can not play my bass ever again afterwards.

[@ramsarconvention3380]

What a right hand ! Following the guitars in such a tempo is no easy task. Amazing work man !

[@bradkneale7580]

pretty sure its all half time bass in the 16th note parts

[@tobieshmusic]

Have always been thinking about what's missing in Slayer's records. Now I have the answer🤘

[@samhudson390]

Always wondered why Slayer never had louder bass, always sounds amazing when I hear it like this.

[@TheBryanKelly1]

HOLY Alex Webster, Batman! He did that without a pick! Very nice!

[@longdark4ever]

The "Riff" part as it was called, is probably one of the heaviest riffs (besides the middle section of Pantera's Domination) in the history of metal, and the best era for Slayer by far. Very well done cover, it's nice to actually hear the bass in Slayer songs, bravo!!

From the finger picking, to the facial expressions to the music, to the great camera work and editing, this honestly is a perfect video. I’m subbing now

[@MaskedRiderChris]

That bloodcurdling, hair-raising, spine-tingling uber-shriek at the beginning still puts a big happy grin on my face every time I hear it. When I first heard that, mind you, it scared the daylights out of me! Lord UND is right; if there had been actual low end on this record, it would've have been even better than it already is.

[@thomasfarmer1730]

Good to see Tom's bass playing getting some notice 🤘

[@gustavovalladares5296]

However, this bass cover follows the guitars more than the actual bass track does. Tom Araya's bass playing is more simplistic, and, in Reign In Blood particularly, sloppy.

[@fedora997]

This is not a diss on Tom, but his actual baseline is much simpler than what’s being played here.
