My bad, I only found out about D-A-D after I heard a cover for "Sleeping My Day Away" made by the German goth-rockers MONO INC. It's such a nice band! And just look at their bassist Stig Pedersen who uses only two strings (E and A) and each of his basses looks like nothing else on this planet!

Since “Raise Your Fist & Yell” is one of my favorite Alice Cooper albums it was a matter of time before I did something from this magnificent but not especially popular release. It still fascinates me how far Alice stepped from his usual style with "Raise..." He used to be experimental, dazzling, and lyrical but never so brutal and heavy before. If "School's Out" or "From The Inside" were slaps in the society's face, "Raise Your Fist & Yell" was a hit with a hammer. What an album,...

“Andres” is one of my favorite songs of probably my favorite “band from the 90s”. A very simple bass line and fun to play :)

The Gathering's debut album “Always...” was an important milestone in the history of doom metal and “King For A Day” was probably the first doom metal video I've seen back in the '90s ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbzog5cwNkI ). Still love this song and it was a big surprise for me to see that no one ever did any covers for it. There are no tabs online either, so I made my own. Are they accurate? It's a good question. Let's say they're more accurate than no tabs at all :) It's the...

The last lifebuoy-song for now is “Niemals dran gezweifelt” (“Never doubted it”) by Udo Lindenberg. For non-Germans – Udo Lindenberg is an extremely popular and famous pop/rock singer who started his career back in the very beginning of the '70s. He's like... I don't know... James Brown of Germany if I may say so. I've never been a fan but in 2020 I watched his biopic “Lindenberg! Mach dein Ding” (“Lindenberg! Do Your Thing”) and I loved the moved and also I loved the song...

I remember I had to drive somewhere and I didn't feel so well. I was depressed and uncertain of my future. And suddenly I heard this song on the radio. “Steh auf, wenn du am Boden bist” (“Stand up when you're on the floor”) by Die Toten Hosen (an extremely popular German pop punk band) is just a typical “come on, cheer up, everything's not that bad” song, I know it but for some reason that was exactly what I needed back then. It was like a message from a close friend in the musical...

With “Ride The Wind” by Poison I'd like to open a short yet special set of bass covers. Maybe with only 3 or 4 songs. And these will be the songs that... well, basically helped me to survive. I guess everyone here had a moment or two in life when everything seemed to be absolutely hopeless and dark. I cannot call myself a very lucky guy but I was always lucky enough to hear the right song at the right moment. You know, that true magic moment when you're absolutely destroyed and suddenly...

Okay, after two months dedicated to moving across the country I tried to play again and found out I have to practice a lot again just to get back somehow. You know, painting walls, dragging heavy stuff, driving huge vans, etc isn't really what my hands needed all this time. So, I just decided to start with a long-promised cover for “High On The Flames” by W.A.S.P.

It's time to cover another “Alive II” studio track and this time it's “All American Man”. Maybe not a hit but still a good Paul's song with a fun bass part. Try it!
