Come To The Sabbath - Bass playthrough by Becky Baldwin

On the 27th of September I was announced as the touring bass player for Mercyful Fate on their North America shows this Autumn (all dates can be found on mercyfulfateco... )
Here's a video of me practicing 'Come To The Sabbath' at home before I join them on the road. Thank you to the band for asking me to be a part of this tour, I am truly honoured to play the basslines of Timi Hannsen and Joey Vega. Joey, I hope you enjoy your Amored Saint tour as much as I will enjoy filling in for you!

Touring with Mercyful Fate was a truly incredible experience!

[@daverichards9141]

How did you get the gig? Who contacted who? Audition?

[@keithwebb9866]

Just saw Becky with Mercyful Fate in Philadelphia. Amazing show, Becky was killing it, great stage presence!!!

[@patrickpilote]

I was at the Montreal show!!! Congratulations !!! You were just incredible!!! 🤟🏻😀🤟🏻

[@ljp31009]

Killed it. I saw Fate at the Country club in Reseda for this tour years ago. Playing and presence are there. Glad you got the gig.

[@daverichards9141]

Yep she can play... AMAZING!

[@luisveas869]

You are amazing Becky, I saw you in Chile with the King (april 22), absolutely amazing show, congratulations

[@dsadsa208]

That is going to be incredible playing with Mercyful fate. Stay heavy!🤘

[@Brian-qg8dg]

You and the band killed it last night in LA 10/29/22. Sound was also amazing

[@LiamShannon-hc8mr]

You are truly awesome Becky!🤘‼️ A great inspiration. Stay Heavy with King & The Fate!

[@apocalypticraid7591]

Saw the Brooklyn, NY show at Kings Theatre and the bass work was fantastic. As someone who *loves* the bass on the studio albums, an absolutely huge surprise to see just how accurate and well-played the lines were.

[@gwrtxiii7566]

WOW! Merciful is one of my favorite bands since I started listening to metal in 1985. Ricken basses are also one of the best instruments. And what do we get when great music is played on a great instrument by a wonderful and charming musician? Expected admiration and joy. :-) Thank you, Becky! We hope that your creativity and the parts and songs you have composed will delight us no less than the cool performance of the classics! (like and subscribe - let's metal!) 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@pellebrekke4758]

I say keep Becky. Brings a whole new dynamic to the stage!

[@josemojicaperez4436]

Her tone in bass is amazing.

[@GromPeruna]

You quickly became one of my favorite bass players. Just want to headbang with yours videos. Congrats on becoming a permanent member of Mercyful Fate. Just hope your Fury band still will be active with you as a bass player.

[@r.plante2916]

You're doing Timi's lines proud, finger-picking on a Rick (how it should be), keep up the great work.

[@DEATH-THE-GOAT]

Ahhhhhhh 🤘 this was the first song I learned You're stay bloody awesome 🤘

[@BigMuff75]

She is a great fit for the band. I hope they will make another album, of course with Becky on it!

Nice playing. I'm a guitar player and I never realized until now how complex the bass part on this song is. Amazing. Looking forward to seeing you live in Cincinnati on Friday.
