I used to be a huge Mötley Crüe fan up until (and including) “Dr. Feelgood” album, but then something went terribly wrong with the band. I don't care about the image issues, or the fact that Vince lost his voice, or even the fact that Nikki Sixx seemed to be wiggling his hands to the pre-recorded bass tracks. However, I do care when a band can't write a single decent song for so long... that's a problem. There was a glimmer of hope when “New Tattoo” came out, but it was gone quickly....

There's not much to say about this song because all the songs from the album “Comalies” were amazing! This album opened doors for so many metal bands back in 2002. Anyway, for some reason, I didn't find any covers for “Entwined” even though the song is great and – yep – fairly easy to play. Enjoy!

“Fly On The Wall” isn't even remotely one of my favorite AC/DC albums but I like the track “Shake Your Foundation”. This is how I like the band – raw, dumb and just rock'n'roll to the max. Nice track with a not very obvious bass line. Try it!

And again one of the most successful 80s Heart albums “Bad Animals”. This time I did the opening track “Who Will You Run To” (written by Diane Warren!) since I didn't find any other covers for this cool song. Maybe there are no other bass covers because the part is so unbelievably simple. On the other hand, it was surely played with a digital sampler or something, so that's why it's not challenging at all. Try it yourself!

I used to like the early experimental Atrocity very much, back when the band mixed thrash metal with doom and electronics, one time even in collaboration with the German dark goth icon Das Ich. “Love Is Dead” was the first Atrocity video I saw many years ago, and the song still has a very special place in my heart.

It's strange, but I still haven't played any covers of Roxette's songs. I don't know why it happened, but now is the time to fix it. Despite the fact that Roxette have always been part of the pop scene, I've always really liked their songs, even if they were on the border between rock and pop. Having delved into the analysis of the "The Big L" part, I was surprised to find out that there was no real bassist involved in the recording, and the part was played on keyboards. All the more freedom...

As far as I remember, "Killers" was the first vinyl Kiss album I held in my hands. Maybe that's why it has a special meaning for me. Some might say that it's just a compilation of previously released songs + 4 new, not-so-good Paul's songs, but at that time I hadn't heard most of the Kiss albums, so everything sounded very fresh and cool. As for the new songs, I understand that they needed some more work, but in fact they were quite good, especially "Nowhere to Run". But we'll get to that one...

Not one of my favorite W.A.S.P. song but it's still really groovy. Probably it was the last “kind-of-classic” W.A.S.P. song in the band's history and it was also the first band's official video I've seen (together with “I Don't Need No Doctor”). Johnny Rod made a cool bass part too. Enjoy!

The Candlemass' reunion album with Messiah Marcolin on vocals was quite a release with many really good songs. Here's just one of them, “Seven Silver Keys”. Cool songs with a very simple bass part you can play with your eyes closed.

I have to confess I've never been a huge Venom fan but I'm definitely a fan of the album “From The Very Depths”. I was used to classic Venom being more heavy punk than metal in the full sense of the word, but this album seemed really cool to me! Finally melodies, finally riffs, finally real songs! Maybe not very technically complex, but exactly what I needed at that moment. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for simple, but very catchy metal, to which you can bang your head :)
