Bass Cover #228: ROXETTE - The Big L.
covers · 08. July 2025
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...

Bass Cover #227: KISS - I'm A Legend Tonight
covers · 07. July 2025
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...

Bass Cover #226: W.A.S.P. - Scream Until You Like It
covers · 23. June 2025
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!

Bass Cover #225: CANDLEMASS - Seven Silver Keys
covers · 09. June 2025
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.

Bass Cover #223: CRISS - Bad People Burn In Hell
covers · 26. May 2025
1994 was a weird year for a KISS fan. KISS didn't release anything but an official cover album “Kiss My Ass – Classic Kiss Regrooved” and I remember myself having mixed feelings about it. On the other hand, Peter Criss finally released an album with his long-suffering band Criss called "Cat #1" (if you don't know why this album was long-suffering, I highly recommend reading Peter's autobiography). And this album was... a bit weird. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of good songs on it...

Bass Cover #222: ALICE COOPER - Little By Little
covers · 19. May 2025
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!

Bass Cover #221: RAY CHARLES - Hit The Road Jack
covers · 12. May 2025
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 :)

Bass Cover #220: PAT BOONE - Speedy Gonzales
covers · 05. May 2025
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...

Bass Cover #218: EUROPE - Walk The Earth
covers · 21. April 2025
„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.

Bass Cover #217: KISS - Love Theme From Kiss
covers · 07. April 2025
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...
