Got this as a Patron Request. I recognized the song name, and it turned out to be a cover of the Steppenwolf song like I thought it might be!
It's a pretty easy song, but the bass it difficult to hear in the mix. This cover is really driving, which the straight 8ths work really well for and help figure out the bass line.
Looking at the live videos, I definitely see a Danzig similarity. The Samhain shirt the bassist is wearing in the 4th clip verifies that influence wasn't just in my mind
The bassist also uses a different kind of bass in every clip I've seen
Also, bar 20, sounds like it's recorded as open E, but that doesn't fit the pattern. Live, it follows the chord progression, so I tabbed it out the way that makes sense and you'd likely cover it live.
Lastly, I couldnt make out anything other than what I tabbed, although it does sound like in the Solo there are a couple bass fills like what I have in bar 127. you're more than welcome to add in extra stuff to make it more interesting and compliment the guitar. Remember not to overdo it and you'll be golden :)

[@paulvbennett]

Cheers for this. I'm a reconditioned rocker from the early 70s trying to find some simple bass lines to classic songs. Just me and the bass tabs battling it out. My coordination could be better so this bass line has a chance. Cheers, appreciate the video. Paul (UK) 🇬🇧🎸
