Lately I've been listening to Alice Cooper's later albums, starting with "Trash". Alice recorded a lot of great songs at the time, many of which have been lost in his catalog. One of them is "Little by Little", which I think is one of the best songs on the "Hey Stoopid" album. Enjoy!
The song doesn't need much introduction, everyone knows it and it's another song that my parents loved when they were young. Plus it's very easy to play, so have fun :)
I'm in that special mood right now where I like to remember the music that was playing in my parents' house. Not that it was always playing (in my room it was only quiet at night), but when my parents were in a good mood and they wanted to play me the music they loved when they were younger, it was the Beatles, Pat Boone, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald... that kind of thing. I didn't like all of it, but some of it really stuck in my mind. Like "Speedy Gonzales" by Pat Boone. It's a really funny...
„Death“ is one of the coolest songs of the Swiss progressive metal band Cellar Darling, formed by Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi, and Merlin Sutter after all three of them left Eluveitie. I used to like Eluveitie quite a lot, but then Anna left, and I noticed that all my favorite Eluveitie songs were actually sung by her. So, I naturally moved on to Cellar Darling.
„Walk The Earth“ is the title track of Europa's self-titled album and there's definitely something special about it. Some might say that Europa tried to pretend they were Deep Purple or even Led Zeppelin... who knows, but I think it's a great song! And the bass line is really nice.
Even though Kiss' first album is a world-class rock classic and is more than a little bit awesome, many fans skip "Love Theme from Kiss" because it's an instrumental, or rather, half an instrumental, which was originally called "Acrobat". I can't say I'm a huge fan of that track myself, but damn, I love that bass line! That's Gene Simmons at his best! And I can't call it easy at all...
Teräsbetoni was (some say still is) a great Finnish heavy metal band that had every chance to be among the best modern bands of this style. They were very popular in Finland and even once represented their country at the Eurovision contest (how are they worse than Lordi?). Despite the fact that musically Teräsbetoni were very similar to Manowar, they stood out with a ridiculous amount of awesome songs! If you haven't heard Teräsbetoni, I highly recommend it (check Spotify).
As you may know, I love creating bass lines for songs I like that didn't originally have any bass in them. Today it's Twins In Fear, a German Synthie-Pop/Dark Wave band I discovered at the Wave Gotik Treffen in 2024. It just so happens that sometimes you accidentally get to a performance of some band, but their music stays with you forever. That's how it was this time: now I listen to both Twins In Fear albums non-stop, sometimes while working, sometimes while sweating in a gym. And when I...
I didn't find any Madam X bass covers on YouTube and I thought it was a crime. I really don't understand it, especially since Madam X ruled big time in the middle of the '80s and even Sebastian Bach (ex-Skid Row) sang there for two years. Also, you might know Roxy Petrucci as the drummer of an all-female band called Vixen. Anyway, their debut album “We Reserve The Right” was packed with potential hits like “Come One, Come All”, “High In High School”, “She's Hot Tonight”, “Good...
