Remember talking to Rob in 2008 about the Rick he had. We were laughing at the "curse" that thing has. If only we'd know that Rob would be gone in less than 2 years :( Phenomenal bassplayer and a fun guy aswell. Rest in peace brother.
I know you're not around anymore Rob, and neither is my original youtube account, but this video inspired me to pickup bass guitar as 13 year old. I won't ever forget you, or the inspiration you've had on my life. Thank you.
I was an intermediate bass player when first introduced, now the same. However, there is some god ass skill to improvise this. Ellefson would be proud.
Rob, I saw your videos way back when you were still with us. If I ever wanted to pick a bass was because of you. You taught me how to much fun one could have picking an instrument and playing like it owed you money. I wanted to buy a Rick, but they were expensive (even more so now!). Then it came the news of your departure. Hit like a truck. Even though you can't see this message, I would like to thank you for what you did, and even more. I bought my own bass and have fun playing it. I come back once in a while to see you rip it. One day I hope I can do it as well. Rest easy.
love the rickenbacker, and youre right about using a pick for bass playing..it presents more style..I remember trying to learn this back in my bass guitar days..it was so hard since i only used my fingers. Very nice man.
Yeah he really was. I used to watch his vids as a young bassist. However, I prefer to appreciate his stuff without mentioning his death every single darn comment. The constant "He dead bruh" every video is extremely disrespectful to his legacy IMO.
Damn this song is incredibly fun to play... Been playing for 6 months, and just nailed it. The day after I managed to play the verse at full speed, my hands wouldn't stop hurting! Amazing cover!
Priscilla looks beautiful lol oh and ya the syncronization is obvious, but what is important is that you are getting the music you ever so love out there.
Well even with all that cover controversy crap, you are still giving us awesome videos man! Especially right now us metalheads are pretty happy with the stuff you've been doing, keep it up! 5*****
Brilliant playing Rob! I love that albumn. It is amazing how fast Dave plays on that tune, but just as amazing that you can play along with him! I'm diggin' it! - Brian
My way of honoring Rob's talent is to keep watching this video which made me a permanent subscriber on his channel. So sad to hear about him passing away :'(
Ok, I've watched the Coroner, slayer, and Megadeth bass covers and I'm glad that even as a hobby, you play enough to be this damn good. In all the bands i've been in i couldn't find anyone who played that consistent. *applause*
i like this song because of the insanely pace the bass has to play... you kick ass man.. never thought other can duplicate the sound but you did... great job!!!!! ImI
Still smile when i see your vids...always guranteed you will do it better than the rest. Well now you're up there with the true rock gods, say hi to Dio for me.
Yes im so happy that you played this man! After seeing Bad Omen i just was desperate to see you play this! Imo...this is slightly harder. But Ellefson has got chops and he's so underrated :(
Wow, amazing pick work. I cannot alternate pick at all. I'm glad I'm fast with my fingers though! Your Megadeth videos are some of your best work I think. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are definitely landmark albums.
I just compared this cover to the actual bass track of the song. You did an awesome job, even putting some lines that weren't in the original tune. This is by far my favorite of your covers. Keep it up, dude!
Hi zodiakironfist, how are doing? wow!! excellent!!! good melody. and your Rick sound excellent, what a great bass!!! good luck out of town. have a great weekend!!! -Ale-
YOU WERE A GODDAMNED MANIAC!!!!! Bless your soul, Rob.
This is the best bass cover ever. Nails it hard and heavy! Hats off best rendition of a Megadeth song on bass!

What was the "curse"
dallashobbs
Alot of guys who have played the Red Rick tend to end up dead, way too early.
@@11DNA11 Not familiar, the Red Rick?
The bass guitar is a red rickenbucker @@likkidixx

Man i love this guy, his videos will remain forever.
This bassline is absolutely incredible.
You were one hell of a great bass player. Rust in peace man \m/
one of the best song for a bass-guitar player! :)
Sorry to hear we've lost such a talent. I'm happy to have discovered this video. I'll look at all the rest. I love the Ric too!
its IMPOSSIBLE not to like this video, dude youre awesome!

Heh that's awesome what you did to the tuners dude. Nice work as always. Your tone fits Megadeth songs well.
Rest In Peace my metal head friend. You and your covers live forever in our hearts!
You have really alerted me to the true talent of David Ellefson (and yourself). I didn't know he was that good
love the rickenbacker, and youre right about using a pick for bass playing..it presents more style..I remember trying to learn this back in my bass guitar days..it was so hard since i only used my fingers. Very nice man.
The best bass cover, beautiful power the ejecution in bass!!!!!
What happened to him?
RIP man, I wish i could play like you.
Hope he's rocking out with Cliff in heaven.
Holy fuck this video is timeless. Almost like you wrote the damn song yourself. RIP sir
Yeah, this is incredible. Truly well done.
Yeah he really was. I used to watch his vids as a young bassist. However, I prefer to appreciate his stuff without mentioning his death every single darn comment. The constant "He dead bruh" every video is extremely disrespectful to his legacy IMO.
6 years ...
time s running !
i definitely agree with viper, u made this song so much better man, wish i could play that verse the way u do lol. it sounds so freaking awesome
You tell him brother! Playing with a pick makes for a sharper, more aggressive sound, something that blends well into heavy metal music.
great job man RIP my fav megadeth cover of you. this and bad omen blew my mind when i first saw them last year.
Damn this song is incredibly fun to play... Been playing for 6 months, and just nailed it. The day after I managed to play the verse at full speed, my hands wouldn't stop hurting! Amazing cover!
Priscilla looks beautiful lol

Absolutely amazing as always. Love it. One of Megadeth's best less well known songs.
I love how he add mini details
RIP, love your videos!
Awesome!!!!
Definitely one of my favorite songs from Megadeth!...and you nailed it!
Congrats!
Brilliant playing Rob! I love that albumn. It is amazing how fast Dave plays on that tune, but just as amazing that you can play along with him! I'm diggin' it! - Brian
Damn I thought I had nailed this song until you showed me how much I've apparently been simplifying the main riff. Back to the drawing board I go.
My way of honoring Rob's talent is to keep watching this video which made me a permanent subscriber on his channel. So sad to hear about him passing away :'(
Seems like you took only the most interesting and special songs to play.
Great that it is all shot on camera and saved on youtube
Rob, This is beyond phenominal, I look to see more performances like this
Damn! Your skills rock! I can play this song on guitar, but I never thought that the bassline was this much more complex!! Great job!
Ok, I've watched the Coroner, slayer, and Megadeth bass covers and I'm glad that even as a hobby, you play enough to be this damn good. In all the bands i've been in i couldn't find anyone who played that consistent.
*applause*
i like this song because of the insanely pace the bass has to play... you kick ass man.. never thought other can duplicate the sound but you did... great job!!!!! ImI
Anyone who can play as well as David Ellefson is truly amazing. You are a god at bass.
Still smile when i see your vids...always guranteed you will do it better than the rest. Well now you're up there with the true rock gods, say hi to Dio for me.
I forgot about this song!! Thanks for doing this-it's so badass!
Yes im so happy that you played this man! After seeing Bad Omen i just was desperate to see you play this! Imo...this is slightly harder. But Ellefson has got chops and he's so underrated :(
Not an easy song to master. Great sound and great job!
I'm not the biggest Megadeth fan, but you really brought them back for me. Rock on, man!
pure epic man, nice to see another epic vid. i love your metal tunes. 5/5
dude, you rocked the hell outta that song. A+
omfg these are sick. I thought u had just 1 cover, then went to ur profile and theres like... more. totally subscribed.
Damn there are some crazy ass basslines of Peace Sells. Nice job man.
Wow, amazing pick work. I cannot alternate pick at all. I'm glad I'm fast with my fingers though!
Your Megadeth videos are some of your best work I think. Peace Sells and Rust in Peace are definitely landmark albums.
