Bass Cover #93: MEGADETH - 99 Ways To Die

There was a time in the 90s when I was so-o-o into Megadeth! I've never been a fan of the band's early stuff but “Rust In Peace” and a few later albums were truly amazing. And a huge part of my interest in Megadeth was based on the bass player David Ellefson who was everything I wanted to be as a kid – the coolest modern bassist who played with a pick :) Well, anyway, I've always wanted to play something by Megadeth but, to be honest, their stuff has always been way too difficult for me. Until now!

“99 Ways To Die” is one of my most favorite songs by Dave & Co and the bass line here is quite nice though it's not the easiest one in the world. I had to struggle through a couple of weeks before I could play it :)
