** So, as you probably know, KISS is my favorite band. I decided to do I was made for Loving you or I was made for Lovin' you (depending on how you want to spell it) because recently I went and saw my friend play with his KISS tribute band again. Also, it's quite fitting since Valentine's Day is this week. My Last cover of this song was quite a few years ago, and didn't have the tabs. So, I tabbed it out (with some details following this), put on my KISS End of the Road Tour (EOTR) shirt, my KISS Strap, and did my face paint like Gene. This has always been one of my favorite KISS songs to play. Probably because I had such a hard time learning it in the beginning. It always serves as a reminder of my progress. One challenge I had while learning it, was that I was used to playing it finger style, and I'm trying to play closer to what the original bassists do, so I used a pick, and the string crossings on the octaves are a bit tricky. Once I got those down, it was a lot of fun. It also took me a bit to get the slides down as well as I did. I hope you like it and enjoy!
Tab Notes:
The tuning is E standard. The original track is about halfway between E and Eb because, like a lot of songs back then, the tape wasn't played at the same speed it was recorded at. Most people tend to play it in E standard instead of Eb, but Eb is more characteristic of the band. The track I'm playing to has been adjusted to be E standard tuning.
Right before the chorus' I do 12 on the slide because it's the same note gene plays in the acoustic video I linked ( • 3-I Was Made For Lovin... ), but he slides on the studio version. I sometimes see 14 on the D used by other people,, but it doesn't look like Gene does that and I think it sounds too high. One thing I've noticed about his bass lines is that he's very economical on his playing. He keeps things near each other for the most part so he doesn't have to move his hands as much. I imagine it helps him focus when he plays and sings
A lot of people just ignore Gene's fills in a live show in order to make it easier to remember. I looked at a lot of live recordings and gene loves to add in a lot of fills that aren't in the original. I think he picks and chooses whenever he wants to do one, with only a couple key fills remembered.
This is the original studio version (Dynasty), not the Sonic Boom one. The instruments on sonic boom sound pretty good. I just hate whatever effects they put on the vocals. It sounds like maybe they autotuned it and stuck on some enhancing effects since that was real big around when sonic boom was released.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

This is the best Kiss cover on the entire UA-cam, thanks to the makeup !!!!!
You should make a Makeup Tutorial xD
Haha, thanks! I really appreciate that :) Gene has done his own makeup tutorial on his daughter which is how I learned to do it :)
SamboatMusic Thanks! I’ll watch it!!
Nice to see a bassist that plays in time. Top work!
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment :)
that's so uncalled for?? Most bassists play in time
There's another bass cover channel where the guy often has trouble playing in time. It happens, unfortunately. Samboat always plays well, though. This is a really good channel.@@thornels
@thornels Your offense was also uncalled for, but you don't see me sitting here crying about it. If you felt personally attacked by what he said, then maybe you should practice more and quit being such a self absorbed crybaby.
Love the bass, love the face paint, love your shirt, love this song
Everything is perfect
Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun putting this one together :)
@@SamboatMusicBassCovers i bet, i honestly just love that face paint
I that took me about an hour to do. Past couple of times that I’ve done it, it took about 2.5 hours. There are a couple spots that could use some work, but I think it came out well otherwise
You are not only a great bass player, but seem to have a good sense of humor as well. I love your videos and they have helped me learn to play a lot of my fave tunes!
Thank you so much! I'm glad my videos could help :)
absolutely love how complete this look and vibe is
🤘 The Demon thanks you 👅
En lo personal, este es el mejor cover, suena igual a la canción. Los demás covers no suenan igual, algo les falta y éste cover es el mejor que he visto.
Exactamente igual con Michelle de Guns n roses, pareciera que es Duff quien toca el cover😎🍻
This is great. Really enjoyed this video. It amazes me how simple this bass line is, and yet it sounds complicated. One of the best bass lines ever played. Thanks for posting.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cover executed so damned flawlessly! The Demon himself should be proud.
Fantastic job and the best resting Gene face I've ever seen.
You absolutely NAILED IT!!! Bravo.
Thank you! 😁
This serpent never blinked once!!!
The lizard people do exist
Fantastic song, outfit and bass cover, my friend !! ♫
Thank you!
You’re right, great for Valentine’s Day.
It is :)
Amazing bass, amazing strap, amazing shirt, amazing face paint, amazing hair, amazing cover, amazing face expressions, amazing tab. Definitely worthy of a like and follow
Great cover of a great old Kiss song. Thanks for posting this.
You’re welcome! Thank you for sharing your appreciation of it with me 😊
Your bass tabs are extremely helpful for learning tunes in my cover band, thank you so much for the good quality videos! They are greatly appreciated 👍
My pleasure! I’m glad I could help :)
I think the ponytail really brings the look together😂❤️ Amazing job man! I appreciate your work, thank you so much!
I used to loathe Kiss. Now I'm a Kiss fan, and it's in no small part your fault :D This is so fun to play, a really nice twist on the disco octaves. Your channel has been a constant companion for the past two and a half years, thank you so much for all your work!
La meilleure cover de cette chanson que je n'ai jamais entendue ❤
Now I'm practicing this song with a bass. Your playing is very helpful to me, thanks!
My pleasure! I’m glad to be of assistance 😁
I love your channel and your covers man !

Damn!! Well played, I learned to play this bassline sometime ago. You are on point!
Perfect time dude. Great job on the makeup too!
This is fantastic. Keep the music alive!
WOW amazing the best kiss cover I ever seen.
There is no word to explain this. I mean the hair is a fucking 10 out of ten the makeup is 10 out of then. And then the bass playing... FUCK MAN this may be the best I’ve ever seen I mean it’s just so fun to play the tabs and hearing you. Like what the actual fuck I also got that makeup when I was young and still wish I were in those great times I mean keep it up. ALL RESPECT TO DEMON
Thank you so much! KISS is my favorite band and I wanted to do this song right :)

Thank you! It was so much fun doing the makeup for this video :)
Just before the break in the song i thought "he should stick his tongue out". And you did it! That's cool!
Well played! Greetings from the Netherlands.

TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Gruss aus Deutschland...(Germany)....cool thing
This whole time, I never knew Jackson made basses.
Really? Did you only know them for guitar?
Well, yeah. To tell you the truth, I don’t really look into manufacturers that often. But hey, this is nice too.
I get that :)
XD The best cover, very complete jajajajaja Like
I aim to please 😁
Thanks from German area! You Face is so nice.
Thank you! 😃I'm glad you like the demon makeup! Thanks for watching from Germany
3:07 NO LO ESPERABA 😅😊👍
Te Amo❤
@@GerardoPuente86 Te amo mucho
How’s that Jackson bass? That was one of the first basses I looked at to buy.
I really like it. It plays really nicely and sounds great
Great Song! Nice Face! Good Job on the cover. 👍🏼
Thank you! :)
The face paint seemed to work. 💪
Gave me Gene Powers!
@@SamboatMusicBassCovers Love it Brother.
🤘
Rock on...
Muito bom!!!!
Thank You!
This tune reminded me of "Woman from Tokyo" at the beginning. Any chance of covering that Deep Purple track?!
Supero
It’s Pity That Gene Simmons doesn’t like this song, such beautiful bass he made in it.
I know :( I wish he liked it more
That’s not even Gene’s bass line actually, Paul Stanley played it.
Very true! There’s a surprising amount of Bass lines that weren’t originally Gene’s. Creatures of the night and most of that album weren’t his lines. Eric Carr even played bass for a song which was cool
is there any Genre you dont play???? Nice Paint! thank for all your tabs.
👌👏🤘
Yee 🤘
Hi Samboat, how are you? Is there any place where we can get the tabs from the video? Thanks!
The makeup is key
3:07 fucking love it. 🤘🏻
He do be buying everything from Kiss
XD yuup
He sure do be
Does he mute the E string when he hits the A string
I do my best to!
Thank you for the lesson. I need an advice. My hands are stiff as well my fingers and cannot do properly the change between the notes. What should I do?
You can do some stretches to try to help. Make sure you don’t overwork it while trying to practice. Chromatic exercises can help with each individual finger. You shouldn’t feel any pain while working on this stuff. Talking to a chiropractor could help make sure you don’t get injured
Thanks for that. I've had an car accident last December but I dont stop playing my bass. I screwed up my left hand which made my hand and fingers sticking. However if I try to move my fingers too fast i feel pain
Oh man, I’m sorry to hear about that! It must be frustrating, but good for you for continuing to practice! I definitely would recommend seeing a physical therapist for that. My dad had his hand injured and the big takeaways that I saw from his recovery was that he consistently did stretches and strengthening of his hand. It was a really slow process, but he now has basically full functionality of it again. Good luck on your journey to recovery :)
Hey man! This is a b side request, but could you make Raise Your Glasses from Psycho Circus? Thanks!
I’ll add it to my list!
How should I set up my amp on this one?
At 4:30 in the video, I have my tone settings. I hope this helps! If you need more than that, feel free to respond and I’ll do my best to help get you where you want!
