This song is a living proof of the fact that you can actually write a good one with only 3 notes :) Even better – you can make your bass player play it on just 1 string! I know Rammstein have a lot of more sophisticated tracks under their belts, but for some reason, I like “Benzin” and it's very hard for me to play it without some major headbanging :) Besides, I failed to buy a ticket for Rammstein again... I'm not sure how popular they are in your country, but in Germany it's close to...

I’m not a big Queen fan, but can’t argue with the fact they were damn talented and they still have some monstrous legacy. Recently I heard a lot of buzz about the “Bohemian Rhapsody” movie (didn’t watch it yet, but I know I should) and found no reason not to do a Queen cover. Damn it was hard! The Queen bass player John Deacon was a ninja or something and his parts were not for beginners at all. The most difficult thing in his parts was that he didn’t like to repeat himself, in...

This is Ha-a-a-aloween!! Alright, who am I kidding, I don't celebrate Halloween, but I do respect its aesthetic side :) Big horror movies fan and stuff, that's why I decided to make this day special with a bass cover for Alice Cooper's “He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)”, which was actually the theme song of the classic movie “Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives”. For some reason (not only because of the music) this part of Jason's franchise is my favorite one. And the song, well......

Another unobvious choice for a cover and another part I made completely myself since the original track had none. I can't really say if it needed a bass part, but hey, it's the Internet, right? There should be a place for anything. I can't say I'm a big fan of LP, but she seems a big natural talent to me and I really loved “Recovery” (both the song itself and its amazing video). It was the first cover I used my new 5-string Jackson bass for. Honestly, there was no sense in playing a...

Being a life-long KISS fan I can't help loving what Ace Frehley does nowadays. The man's still very busy touring the world and releasing some kick ass rock'n'roll albums! “Space Invader” was great, but the new album “Spaceman” which is going to hit the stores in just 2 days, on 19.10.2018 already promises to be even better! That's why I decided to record a cover for the newest single from this album called “Rockin' With The Boys”. The problem was I couldn't hear any real bass part...

It's actually a big tribute to my childhood, because in the very beginning of 90's I was a big Korrozia Metalla (in Russian "Коррозия Металла") fan... And who wasn't? There were just a few heavy bands in USSR around 1988-1990 and all of them were very "civil", very safe. And Korrozia was a total madness, real punk-based heavy and later also thrash metal with very groovy melodies, occult lyrics and funny stupid-ass live show with coffins, zombies, nude dancers and even Satan...

It's time for a new KISS cover! This one was requested by one of my friends on Facebook and this one really rocks butt! I remember when the album called "Revenge" was released in 1992 all hundred percent of KISS fans jumped from their pants and the single (and the video) for "Unholy" was one of the reasons for that. Heavy, grim and dark as hell, this song sang by one and only Gene Simmons opened the album and at that time it sounded like a sudden kick in the teeth of those who didn't like the...

The choice of this song, probably one of the most known tracks by Talking Heads, was a bit too obvious - I love its bass part! Yeah, it's simple and there's a lot of other covers for this song on YouTube, but who cares. As always, the tab is here too for those who'd like to learn it. See ya next Friday!

Do you remember the 80's euro disco invention? Well, I do and even more than that - Sandra's first LP "The Long Game" was one of the very first albums I had on vinyl. And as a child I used to play the hell out of it! The whole album was great, but obviously "Maria Magdalena" was (and is) one of my personal favorites. A couple of weeks ago I suddenly realized it wasn't only an awesome pop song, but it also had a very cool and catchy bass part, so... here it is - my cover for "Maria Magdalena" by...

The deal is I love the German folk scene and VROUDENSPIL is one of the best folk acts I've seen so far. I've seen them live at least 5 times at various occasions and the last one was a bombastic gig in Hamburg when these guys supported FEUERSCHWANZ (another of my folk favs) and it was literally one of the best freaking concerts I've been at! Bloody hell, it was amazing, I still have goosebumps when I remember that night. So I made a bass cover for one of their older songs called "Küss mich"......
