    I can't believe Royston Langdon played that bassline and did vocals at the same time. He crushes it live too, there are videos! RESPEK!

      Actually fairly easy cause the parts go together... As a bassist the hard songs to sing and play together are the ones where the Bassist is NOT the singer. (same for guitar or any other instrument I guess) Think Led Zeppelin... good luck LOL. I bet you could do it with practice. Allot of what he's doing is based on octaves, which sound harder than they are and a e major scale, which is fairly simple scale. That takes nothing away IMO it's an amazing inspiring piece of music from all angles! Well Played.

      How In The Meantime was written, a brief drama inspired by true events:
      "Royston! Listen to this riff I wrote!"
      "Wow Anthony, that sounds great!"
      "I was thinking about singing on this one."
      "You already got Space is the Place, man. I'm the singer."
      "I can't have two? Really?"
      "Dude... I let you keep that gay incest stuff in even though you tricked me into thinking it was about brotherly love and homosexuality. That's like 30 favors at once."
      "It WAS about brotherly love and homosexuality! Besides, you haven't even heard the bass line for it."
      "No, it was about homosexual brotherly love! If you remove the conjunction, you aren't talking about two things anymore!"
      "Fine. I'm sorry. I won't prank the Label anymore. Oh, speaking of, I told them we would have the song ready for live shows in a week. They been doing promotional stuff for it and everything already!"
      "Right. Sorry I got upset. You are a good brother, I just don't like pranks."
      "I still think I should sing since you are playing bass."
      "I told you I'm going to sing this one. How hard could the bass line be?"
      (In the Meantime went on to become a hit on US and English alternative charts, launching Spacehog into the spotlight.)
      (Royston worked his ass off and learned to play the bass riff and sing simultaneously.)
      (Anthony never bested his gay incest prank and soon retired. He has been assisting in his brother's legal battle with Salt Bae over the rights to Sprinkle related stage names.)
      *The true event was the song being written, which inspired everything else.*

    One of the most recognizable bass lines in rock music. I remember this song playing everyday on the radio back in the latter 90's. This really does a good job of showing how busy that bass line is and makes one appreciate multitasking singing and playing bass simultaneously. Great cover.

  • @marcrosen3958

    When someone covers a song and doesn't offer tabs, its more about them and less about you. Im 67, been playing bass for about 12 years, I have a good ear, but this is one of those songs where tabs were crucial for me, to understand the song. Once I had general idea, main riffs, then I went down to bass man cave and played along with the video, getting up to speed, then cleaning up a few things, ( bridge C, D, G F# E. then C, D E back to A riff...outtro A G F#, then C B A) and then it was all there. You deserve to be followed. I don't use a pick , and it sound fine on my JP Fender, flats, added some mid. At first glance I thought this would take a month to get, not so. See how its basically 1, 5, 4 E, A, D with some fills and lead in notes. Thank you!

      Bass & band were sharp - you're correct. Recorded/mixed during the days of tape and very likely sped up during mixing to please the engineer/mixing ears. Police did this with ELTSDIM. Other artists as well.

    Thanks. Some parts are straightforward but as you mention, others are quite tricky to pick out. Lots of nuance here and probably never played exactly the same way twice by Royston. Even though the original main riff is played at 12 on E, I prefer 7 on D as it retains the tone and you can keep the slide (9 on A to 2 on E) with no one the wiser. Also makes it much less difficult to play and sing simultaneously.

    i'm not saying this to be a dick or a know-it-all -- this is pretty excellent. the only correction i would offer is that, during the chorus, it repeats the progression (A, D, F#, B) four times but, in the song, he only hits the octaves of A, D, and F# during the fourth iteration of each chorus. The first three times he just lets the roots ring.
