We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) Bass Cover

- Speaking of Broadway shows... Lynn and I are going to see "Hamilton" tomorrow, just to see that all the fuss is about. We'd gotten tickets before Covid hit and repurchased them when Broadway reopened. The prices, while still on the high side, have come way down from what they once were. I'm sure it will be good, but I'll let you know.
"We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" by Tina Turner off of the "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" which came out in 1985 and featured Terry Britten (who cowrote the song with Mike Graham Lyle) on bass.
What can I say, I always loved this song (and the movie) and, for some reason, get a little choked up when the child choir starts singing in the last chorus.
The video links I mentioned with the sax player whose name is Tim Capello (I time stamped them for you). He's actually still riding the "Lost Boys" wave and performing that song live! -
• Tim Capello - I Still ...
• Tina Turner - We Don't...
I recorded this video a few weeks ago, the day after I got this new/used Fodera Monarch Standard Special.
You are a legendary bass guitarist, love this song, and Bassline.
Please stay healthy and keep these videos coming.
Lots of love from Scotland 🏴
And you are too kind, but I thank you!
You do the same and I'll try.
Love from New Windsor, NY.
I so love the 80's songs.I like the covers you do from this time period.I spent my ages 16 to 26 in this time period and I dont regret a day in this decade.What an adventure for a young man. Thanks for posting this.Great cover as always Troy.
With you bro.
We're the same age then. I definitely have a greater appreciation for the music (and culture) of the time now than I did then. Thanks a lot Tim!
Your video is just the way every bass cover should be made! A gift for musicians. Thank you very much!
Wow, thank you very much!
Who doesn't love a muscley greased up sax guy doing pelvic thrusts?! But seriously, he does great work on this song. And this song has a big dystopian vibe. The children's choir goes right to the emotional center. Oh, and the fodera sounds killer!
You've got to read some of the comments beneath his videos! Along the same line as yours and in goodnatured fun. The "dystopian vibe" thing sounds like a reasonable explanation for how it makes me feel every time I hear it. Thanks!
What a tone monster!
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks Ben.
This made me listen to "One of the Living" off the same soundtrack. Both good songs.
I'll have to check that one out.
OK...I've said this at least once about you, but...just when I thought your couldn't be any cooler. I can't begin to count how many times I listened to this song (rabid Mad Max fan back in high school), but I'm amazed that I've never paid attention to the bassline until now. Amazing. This is now on my "learn to play this month" list.
That's great to hear Steven! I'm glad you liked it.
Amazing tone on that thing, oh my
I’m glad you like it. Thanks!
I liked it and it sounded great. Lotta nostalgia with it and Tina's alive soul.
I'm glad to hear that Jason. Thanks.
God I love tina Turner's voice
Yeah, she's something, isn't she?
I've been watching your vids for 10 years now it seems. I learned bass with you. I am 30 now and the 80's are back man, seriously. And I go to look up a song and I'm like off course TJH3113 did it!
Thanks for hanging in there with me, Chris!
Goose bumps Troy! You guys have got to see her show. Tom took me after my Mom died.The day before my Mom died, I sang You're Simply the Best. I cried as i sang it her. i had no idea she was going to pass two days later. Tina is one of my favorite female singers. I love this video and I'm glad you played it. I remember the Sax player with Tina. he is a doll and I love to see him play.. Thanks. Please go see the show Troy!!!!!! Marvine :-)
Thanks Marvine! I'm sure we will go to see it and will be thinking of you when we do. "Hamilton" was incredible!
@@TJH3113 Tom and I want to see Hamilton. Glad you are going to see Tina. Happy Thanksgiving to lynn and your mom also. Take care. Marvine :-)
Incredible that the fodera in your hand sounded just like you but even better! Amazing!
Thank you! The Fodera doesn't like to play dirty!
I’ve been going through your videos - you have top notch talent and taste. And humble about it too! You’re just so damn cool. Just wanted to let you know you’re appreciated. Best wishes.
Thanks so much!
Отличный бас и голос исполнительницы который невозможно не узнать. Великая Тина! Браво!
Спасибо за замечательный комментарий!
What a beautiful bass! Tone is awesome too - another great cover!
Thanks a lot!
Omg, Troy, you got a Fodera! A Fodera Troy? Lucky duck:). Good for you:) Btw great song choice and playing. LOL
Yes, beautiful bass, but the honeymoon did not last too long. As nice as it is, I could definitely find 3-6 other basses that I liked as much for what this bass cost. I don't regret buying it, but it basically confirmed what I already knew. Thanks Lori.
VERY NICE
THANKS MARK
She's got a great voice. What a song!
Without a doubt!
Great work man. I had no idea this song was so tasty on bass.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it.
Great! I haven’t heard that song in forever and forgotten how great her voice is. I actually drove thru her hometown today - Nutbush (city limits)TN. Don’t blink if you go thru it though. You will miss it.
Thanks Tom! I don't see myself getting anywhere close to Tennessee anytime soon😂, though I do have a friend who is moving there soon.
Perfect performance ☺️ I liked it..... thanks for sharing....
Thank you very much, Vagner.
Cool man. Born bass player.
Getting better at teaching too.
Groovy.
Thanks so much Shane.
Tone of the gods
Glad you liked it.
Nice and elegant, as always!
Thank you kindly, Wagner!
Resonant in every sense of the word. Out of all the bass covers you've posted, this one ranks among the highest for me. Thanks as always o good man.
Wow, thank you!
I'm totally blown away by your diversity in music selection. I've been a Tina Turner fan for years this song was at the top of my list of her music. Since I started learning the bass I never even though of trying to learn any of her stuff. Now I'm going to play more of it. Thanks
Thank Luke. I'm glad so many of my viewers are as open minded as yourself and allow me to upload whatever comes to mind. Take care!
That is an interesting bass line
I think so too!
A roadshow version of Hamilton is coming to Houston soon, lots of local hype for it. One thing I can say about Hamilton is that it started out the small venue Hamilton Mixtape show and then grew into Broadway. Musicals have been crap since the late eighties. They say Hollywood is out of ideas, but Broadway has been deader longer. Hamilton broke that.
If you wanna see a good musical I would recommend "Love, Janis".
Love the bass and the tone. Of course, the player makes the tone matter. Not my favorite Tuna Turner song of that era, but you showed me a side of it I had not considered in the past. I liked Private Dancer better, but didn't know Mark Knopfler wrote it until much later.
I have to say that I thought the show lived up to, if not exceeded, the hype. There is nothing like seeing a show of that quality. We've only been going to Broadway shows for 5 or 6 years (since Lynn got me "Hedwig and The Angry Inch" tickets for my birthday), but we've seen about 12. Of those, there hasn't been a really "bad" show. I don't think anything bad makes it to Broadway. That being said, there are definitely some shows that we've preferred to others. Before seeing "Hamilton", "Hadestown" was top on our list of favorites, but I could see some parts where the latter borrowed from the former. Least favorite shows were "Book of Mormon" and "Mean Girls". Even "American Psycho - The Musical" had some redeeming qualities😂.
Hopefully, the Janis show will make a return at some point.
Thanks, the bass is nice, but I don't think there's any reason to have this much money tied up in one instrument. I've got $400 basses that I'd find just as satisfying to play. A lot of big names showed up on the "Private Dancer" album.
Thanks for this Troy. It's great playing along with you. I've always had a soft spot for Tina and like you, love this track.
Glad you enjoyed it!
God I love this song 🎵 it has a beautiful melody awsome bass line you played it so perfectly you could feel every cord amazing thankyou. 👏
Me too! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, Nelson.
With ALL the buzz I have heard and read about "Hamilton", I'm thinking you and your Bride Miss Lynn will enjoy The Show Immensely! My oldest Son was 5 years old going on 15 when this movie and soundtrack came out! He was ALREADY a Master of Videos and music from MTV, loved pretending he was a TV game Show Host and eventually got into Radio and now is a TV News Producer for a local TV station here in Columbus! He knew all the words to this tune and literally many that played then and now! Your Fodera has a cool "Teak Wood" look to it...at least that's how I see it! And some of those notes you played were strikingly close to a Rickenbacker 4001....I was waiting for Xanadu as I enjoyed my Milk Of Paradise whilst you played! Cheers From Ohio Troy!
I from Columbus. Haven't lived there in a very long time. Been here in W.V. since 1993. I've lived on the west side mostly. Sullivant Ave , broad St. Bunch of places
Yeah, the show definitely lived up to the hype! It was incredible. Congrats to your Son (and you) that he followed his dream into a career! The Fodera is Walnut with a fancier Walnut top. As I said in a previous reply, I have a strange habit of trying to make every bass I have sound the same.
Good stuff from a bass teaching legend. I'm a massive Mike Chapman fan, but he didn't have a hand in composing this. Graham Lyle shares the credits with Britten for that.
Thanks Paul. I corrected the error (thanks for pointing it out). I usually rely on Wikipedia for my song info, so I don't know where I would have come up with "Mike Chapman'", unless there was an error on the Wiki page. Take care!
Your playing is so perfect, I believe some of us view you are a robot...so its nice to see you sing along a little!!! 😆
Thanks so much James. I take no offense with being viewed as a robot. I'm the first to say that I play a bit "mechanically".
I would like to see you cover "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo. That song features one the most kickass bass lines of 1980's rock. Great cover Troy...thanks for consistently giving us luscious ear candy
He's not a slapper.
Like Bacopa68 said, I am not a slapper, but I did actually start learning the song (I would have had to have come up with some sort of slap-substitute), but, from what I remember, the tuning was off (either sharp or flat) and that puts me off sometimes. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point. Thanks Mike!
Great job as always
Thank you kindly!
As an 80s baby I'm really diggin this tune.
Awesome! You might enjoy some of the comments left of the links I shared. A lot of love for the 80's in there.
This is a fantastic bass cover i heard the song since September 2017 have a good weekend
Thank you Amin... you too!
Haven't heard this in years - thanks for playing!
Glad you liked it! Thanks Patrick.
Another great job, Troy! Love all your 80s covers!
Thanks so much Rob.
Very nice song indeed. Always inside many details. Thank you ;-)
I'm glad you liked it Jonathan. Thank you!
what a great sound !!!!!
and a great playing !
Thanks so much!
Beautiful. Such a nice and mellow, easy-going bassline. Thanks for sharing 👍
It was my pleasure!
Very solid choice! Love Tina, great job as always! Dig the Fodera as well
Thanks!
Another great job on a great tune. The fodera sounds great. I still give the edge to the spectors by a hair. 😀
Thank you. Actually, I'd give a fair number of my other basses "the edge" to this one.
Good cover 💪
Thanks Igor
Linda música, impressionante como você escolhe só música legal. Parabéns cara
Muito obrigado! Estou feliz que você gostou.
The least good Mad Max movie but a great song and bassline - great playing as always. The new bass sounds great, Troy.
I thought it was passable, from what I remember. Thank you!
Show!!!
Thanks!!!
Great song……great bass lines…🎧
I think so too!!
Maybe it’s the way you set up the EQ but I like your sound better on the Fodera than the last time you played one. Nice.
Exact same EQ (I never toy much with my settings one I lock in something I'm content with). It probably has more to do with how it sits in with the mix of the song I'm playing along with. It's a very imprecise science and some videos just sound better than others. Thanks Art.
That bass gets a good ric sound.
Someone else said the same thing. It seems like every bass sounds more like a Ric than my Ric does.
@@TJH3113 thats because you've zoned in on those frequencies on the sans amp and you have a consistent right hand plucking technique. Which I think sounds great.
👍😎
Thanks Joe.
Timmy Capello is the sax player.
Yes, I mentioned that in my text. He's still performing and is well loved by his fans!
Tina Turner had a huge resurgence in the early 80’s and for good reason. Thank god she was able to move on from Ike and be successful.
Yes, such an amazing life she's lived!
Fodera sounding awesome Troy. I'm curious, out of all your basses it seems the Wal is the one we see the least. Any particular reason it only gets brought out on certain occasions?
You don't see it because Troy sold it I believe.
@@hiramkhackenbacker RIP to the Wal
Yes, I sold the Wal back to the fellow I bought it from (as was our agreement) a while back. I did what I wanted to do with it and, after that, found that I really didn't play it very often.
Awesome playing like always! How is your Fodera growing on you? I still say that you sound better on it than probably anyone else I've ever heard. I love Victor Wooten and appreciate his style and tone but you are giving that sound justice. I didn't think that those basses had as much growl and beef as how it sounds in your hands. Have fun at Broadway and keep on keeping on! 🙂
Thank you Garyd. It's a beautifully crafted bass, but, now that I have one, it confirms what I've always believed.
I have this weird habit of trying to get every bass I have to sound and play the same. I'm not interested in having a wide variety of tones available and I had to push this bass to get there. It's a very clean, polite sounding bass.
The show was probably the best I've ever seen and I was pleasantly surprised that the show lived up to the hype.
@@TJH3113 everyone is seemingly more energetic now with things opening and I feel a sense of people not taking things like concerts or live performance for granted. That was very apparent in the Primus concert I saw in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. LA has been acting so crazy with Corona this and COVID that much like NY but primus came in and that was the first thing Les said to the crowd was gratitude for being able to play some music and share the creative energy with the masses. Also they played A farewell to kings in tribute to Rush and pretty much nailed it. I was so lucky to catch that show. Especially with the passion for playing that had those guys so amped plus doing the rush set I could tell that was absolutely special. They did Cinderella man and it was beautiful honestly. Primus did it justice. But anyway I know what you mean about Fodera being polite unless you push it to get some tone out of it. I bet a change in electronics would bring out something badass the bass is hiding. Mec or emg pickups would definitely change the flavor. I know I'm nuts for thinking this was on such a boutique bass but at the same time you'd be getting a bass that doesn't sound like the other Fodera basses. As always thanks for putting out the videos and you're always wonderful to talk to.
please cover like a prayer by madonna! big guy pratt fan
A lot of people have asked for that one.
Why didn't you get a Fretless?
Why "would" I get a fretless? Nothing personal against them, I'm just not a fan of playing them. But, you might be interested in this. The fellow I bought this bass from asked me to do some demos/covers using other basses that he's selling and one of them was a fretless. They can be found in my "Unlisted" playlist. The fretless is the Elrick.
Is that drop D tuning?, it’s a very punchy bass
No, I don't believe it was.
Please, Etta James son of a precher Man
I'll check it out
Blaaaaaa. I hated the 80s so much. But you and the new hat are so awesome....
You always have my support. You’re the best. I wish you and Lynn a magical time at the performance. Cheers
Me too, but I have a greater appreciation for the 80's now than I did at the time.
Thank Tommy... the show exceeded the hype! It was powerful!
@@TJH3113 i agree, i can appreciate some 80s stuff, that i hated at the time, others.......
I especially like the disco, funky, flamboyant stuff. “BASS HEAVY” stuff.
Awesome, that’s what we hear about it too. We’re going to have to check it out. Glad you had fun. We still have some things that got “postponed” that we hope come back....we have “the cursed child” (Harry Potter) play, that’s been pushed and pushed all over the place, and the Roger Waters concert....anyway, so glad you got out there and had some fun. Hope the job is going good, and your health is good?!?
This is baixist!
Thank you Caballero!
Great job on this song, I played it a few times in a cover band and you really need a good singer to pull it off.
Thank you Lance. I can imagine!
