„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...

Probably, the only Black 'n Blue song I like enough to play ;) It's not challenging at all but again, the song itself is really not bad.

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...

I was a die-hard Untoten fan around 2006-2010 and I'm glad to say I managed to see these guys live four or five times. Untoten was something completely new to me back then. An incredibly emotional and dark mix of goth rock, chanson (!), and even opera sometimes. I still love their old albums.

Oh man... here goes my rant :) The video for “Prime Mover” was on a video cassette I got probably around 1990-1991 and I was blo-o-o-o-own away! I mean it was a 3-minute quintessence of what real rock'n'roll was about, for me at least. It was something similar as watching “Looks That Kill” by Motley Crue for the very first time – like wow, I want to be like these guys :) The song itself is amazing, the lyrics are actually clever and the video is a freaking masterpiece – with all its...

Just one of Diary Of Dreams songs I like, especially live. I guess there was no live bass on the record, so I made my own bass part, also very simple with a couple little things here and there. The song just doesn't need more than this. Enjoy!
