Here's another cover for one of the coolest OOMPH! songs which is accidentally (not) is the favorite song of my wife Yulia :) She's been telling me forever I should play “Niemand”, so here it is!
I heard this song in the game “Fallout 4” and fell in love with it (the song, I'm not really thrilled with the game). What's more interesting is that this song seemed to gain quite a popularity thanks to the game. And probably because our world seems to get a lot closer to the whole Fallout thing lately.
Das Letzte Lager is a German (Hamburg-based) death metal band I played for a few months with. Even since my being with the band was short because of my health issues I liked some of their songs very much. I wouldn't say many bands play something like this nowadays – the music is raw, sometimes minimalistic, yet catchy and based on very cool riffs. So, I spontaneously decided to play one of the songs from the band's first album, “Vater” (“Father”). It's a great song and I enjoyed...
Dedicated to all those whose interest in music suddenly woke up in the middle of the 80s :) I started listening to music consciously in 1986 when I was ten, and I had only three names I listened to over and over and over again – Modern Talking, Sandra and C.C.Catch. There's nothing in common between these three except for the obvious fact that all three were “made in Germany” and Dieter Bohlen of Modern Talking was a producer of C.C.Catch in her top-hit days.
Usually, I stay away from the songs everyone else on YouTube played as well but it was a special case. I changed the strings on my white Jackson and suddenly I liked the sound very much. And then I started to play “The Final Countdown” and I liked the sound even more, so... yep :) So even though it has been played by every bass player on this planet, here's another attempt.
I was in the mood for another Amon Amarth cover and you know what it means – I had to grow a huge beard because it's illegal to play Amon Amarth without one. It was hard to grow it overnight but Odin helped me! Enjoy :)
Sometimes when I get bored playing my usual covers I take a song I like that has no bass whatsoever and just write a bass part for it. No, it's not like this song needs a bass part, not at all! It's perfect as it is but no one forbids me to imagine “what if”, right? :)
“Crazy Nights” is in my Top 3 favorite KISS albums, ok? I know too well the majority of hardcore KISS fans hate it but I don't care, I love this album. In my eyes, it's a true masterpiece produced by Ron Nevison himself. As for “I'll Fight Hell To Hold You”, I don't wanna lie, it's not my favorite song on the album but it has something... some kind of a special power, I'd say.
Satyricon became my favorite band of this year, at least in terms of the time spent for listening to their albums. They're in my ears everywhere, at home, at my fitness studio, while driving too. The favorite album changes all the time but I became obsessed with “The Age Of Nero” lately. And really, I could cover any song from this album but in the end I chose “The Wolfpack”. Especially, since I didn't find any 100% correct bass covers for this song. Ah, right, and I redesigned the tabs...
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!
