    This is why the "Is your bassist too loud?" option put in Guitar Hero Metallica lol
    no such thing as too loud /m\

      Never played Guitar Hero, but this option will be probably because of Lars Ulrich uber sound skills! If Lars was president, being a bassist would be a crime... or you will have to play with you electric bass... accoustic!

    • @AndriyVasylenko
      @AndriyVasylenko  8 років тому +62

      RPAngelov Angelov Then it would appropriate to have option like 'Is your Lars too chatty?' or 'Is your Lars too fucking up rhythm?'

      I think both are equally enjoyable. for whom the bell tolls is a really easy song to play and sing at the same time on guitar so I use this song to try and train my ability to sing and play, on bass it's just fun because of all the little fills that cliff had in the bass parts so I think that their equal.

    I met Cliff on the Hollywood sunset strip the summer of 86 outside Gazzarris nightclub. They were opening for Ozzy. I drove from North Dakota with my band mates to investigate the LA music scene as we later moved there. Cliff and James were outside Gazzarria and we then saw them inside again. It was a weeknight and very quiet. I was a teenager and embarrassed because I still had the big metal hair and had only recently really gotten into Metallica. After that night I never puffed up my hair again and our band went from a MOtley Crue style band to a Metallica style band. Anyways good time. Long live CLiff!

    THAT WAS THE BASS IN THE INTRO??? I'm obviously no musician and all this time I literally had no idea. I always thought bass guitars just followed the rhythm guitar chord for chord in the background just to provide "weight" (keep it from sounding flat)...I wonder how much else I've missed in songs where it was the bass all along.

    When I was a kid, I wanted to play bass so fuckin badly because I wanted to be just like cliff. He was such a huge inspiration to me along with the rest of 80s thrash metal. I ended up a guitar player though because Trey from Morbid Angel lol, like the Altars of Madness era-- Morbid Angel. Though Metallica, Slayer, even Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus were my foot in the door (from rock n roll) to heavy music. Cliff is still my hero and this song in particular will always hold a special place in my heart. Anyway, you nailed it, great cover.

    What pedal are you using? I learned the full song but I can’t find a good distortion pedal for my bass, thanks in advance! :)
