I love how people say “why is the bass even there, you can’t hear it if it’s that low” yeah listen to a bass-less version of any slipknot song. RIP Paul
Bass is highly underappreciated. It's very vital for the overall sound. I've played bass instruments in band when I was in middle school. It has its role and I don't expect everyone to understand it.
You can tell because if you listen really closely you can hear the vocals and guitars bleeding in the bass track so it is the bass track solo in what ever DAW he was using
@@user-xw6uh3yp7g AHIG and Gray Chapter completely drowned the bass in the mix. Self Titled and Iowa had a really audible bass but nothing in comparison how incredibly loud it is in Vol.3 and I dont mind that. Slipknot sounds best when everyone is loud and clear
Armand Klink in all hope is gone I could hear the bass just fine, I guess the grey chapter had fairly quite bass. MFKR was definitely the album with the loudest bass though
@@user-xw6uh3yp7g MFKR was a demo album, so it also sounded like one. Altho I still kinda like it. Slipknot (sic 0.5) and Do Nothing/Bitchslap are still stuff I could easily go back and listen to, not even mentioning the original Gently.
I can hear the clips between edits as though the producer didn't cross-fade the take composites (which is really lazy for a major label production, no wonder they weren't impressed with Rubin).
I knew the one he taught in Behind the Player was different! Why did he do that I wonder? Sure the one he showed us was way easier to follow, but that's just because it followed the guitars so much.
I think it's more about the bass itself and the amp. He doesn't seem to be using any pedals, mostly the sound is coming from amp, and the wood bass is made of. Also strings.
Ibanez atk I believe he used at this time into a peavy 1000 headliner and an 810 cab. He used a RAT distortion pedal. Don’t know if any of that gear would have been used in the studio however
That's whatever track Slipknot sent to Rock Band. Either Paul changed his way of playing it after recording it (and that's what he's teaching in his lesson), or that's another recording (unlikely), but that's definitely him playing
Once you isolate the tracks. The songs all take on a whole new meaning. What Paul Gray sacrificed by switching to a pick was more than made up by his subtle nuances and variations. In a 9 piece metal band, it's going to be hard to stand out as a bassist. Paul picked every moment to cut through the mix and I really love how he locked with the drums during the verses in this one.
Paul Lied to us he played different thing on Behind the player. I thought he was my favourite bass player but now i hate him because he betrayed us all.
Will you read a late reply, Collin? Rufus Mann has a bass cover of this, and if you support him on Patreon, you can get tabs. His version is tabbed directly from this.

SAIF THE EDGE I play bass and without me and other bassists music is empty
Bass is more a feeling than a sound
It fills the song
It serves a purpose. While maybe indistinguishable at times, you’d very much notice if it was removed.
Where can I listen to a bass-less version of any slipknot song? Are there some on youtube? I didn't find
Hum I think youy misunderstood the video
It's not me playing, it's the original Paul Gray Part
You can tell because if you listen really closely you can hear the vocals and guitars bleeding in the bass track so it is the bass track solo in what ever DAW he was using
One of the only Slipknot song that has crushing and loud bass. Thankfully the whole Vol.3 has this sound
Armand Klink all the albums had pretty loud bass lol, maybe with the exception of wanyk

Self-titled easily has the loudest bass. Vol. 3 had some of the quietest bass.
Now that's a sick tone.
It’s okay, but it’s not great
A sic tone
DankCream36 ❤️
@DankCream36 that's a valid argument
Iowa's is way better
I can hear the clips between edits as though the producer didn't cross-fade the take composites (which is really lazy for a major label production, no wonder they weren't impressed with Rubin).
Me too, little pops where the cuts aren't merged, just put next to each other, there's no transition.
Rubin isnt doing editing work. Its the fault of the engineer
Corey said Rubin sat his fat ass on a couch and hired sound engineers to do everything
Yeah sounds like pops. :(
Could it just be poor quality audio? I'm hearing a lot of artifacts, across the entire song.
There are few bass lines that sound as heavy and sick as this one. This song is really a masterpiece.
I knew the one he taught in Behind the Player was different! Why did he do that I wonder? Sure the one he showed us was way easier to follow, but that's just because it followed the guitars so much.
Actually never mind it's not THAT different
I guess after the studio version got recorded he just played it differently live and that's what you get in the video
Paul even mentions at the start of the playthrough in 'Behind the Player', that there are variations compared to the original.
the bass is drop B is so good the sound an the lows and midles of the bass is so good
Aka standard 5 string tuning
@@stevenlee1075 nope, you're thinking of B standard. drop B is tuned BF#BE. 5 strings are tuned to BEADG.
@@snow15243 oop I’ve been playing it wrong this whole time 🤦♂️ crap
RIP Paul Grey :(
I joined the track of each instrument and made the song part by part
This is called song....

Just curious. Does Slipknot lock to a programmed click?
They definitely didn't for the eponymous album, but after that I'm pretty sure they did
I'm pretty sure that they never used a click track until Jay Weinberg joined and recorded the Gray Chapter
They did on AHIG
@@Julian66666666666666 I don't think they did then either.
Paul Gray
Can someone tell me how I get Paul's tone, for example, what pedal does he use there?
I think it's more about the bass itself and the amp. He doesn't seem to be using any pedals, mostly the sound is coming from amp, and the wood bass is made of. Also strings.
Ibanez atk I believe he used at this time into a peavy 1000 headliner and an 810 cab. He used a RAT distortion pedal. Don’t know if any of that gear would have been used in the studio however
@@mrscientific4956the wood doesn't mean anything 😂
Humbucker pickup(s?), new strings, scooped mids, heavy pick attack. No pedals necessary. Maybe a compressor pedal.
Wait but this version is not like the lesson of Paul Gary "behind the player"
Paul has many versions that he plays of this song
Yeah he tends to play less nuance versions of his songs live due to consistency
I don't think it's the original song. I mean, the verse is a completely different thing that Paul used to play. Check it out on his lesson.
That's whatever track Slipknot sent to Rock Band.
Either Paul changed his way of playing it after recording it (and that's what he's teaching in his lesson), or that's another recording (unlikely), but that's definitely him playing
It’s a different version. The way you know if it’s the real bass track is if there’s white noise and you can hear the song faintly in the background
No that’s just how Paul played it live. If you listen closely in the song you can tell this is the real one
i agree rythm seems to be off in the chorus

Paul plays this song differently in the bass lesson video for some reason.
?
How come this is how he taught it in the video Behind The Player
Paul Lied to us he played different thing on Behind the player. I thought he was my favourite bass player but now i hate him because he betrayed us all.
@@Mihail2304 wtf, you didn't knwo that some bassist/guitartist modify their riff all the time.
It sounds sloppy, but with the rest of band it fits perfectly
absolutely
Dude nice... can you send me the tabs? Or make a vid how to play it all slower?

Ben with The Hardkore Punk Projekt it sucks that you have to pay for these tabs
@@themenardbros5708 Yeah... but it supports the creators, so might as well do it!

No wonder the bass usually is mixed down, very sloppy
this doesnt sound like the song man
