Megadeth's David Ellefson and Anthrax's Frank Bello have been brothers in bass for a long time. After touring together with their respective bands, the two united to form a more perfect bass union with their group Altitudes & Attitude, and the duo graced our studio with a metal bass clinic.

Jaymz Moffitt how is it lazy? It just sounds better

@tk_bass7891 5 лет назад

@@user-xw6uh3yp7g sounds better is absolutely to listener and the context. I can't stand the sound of a pick on a bass.. Obviously to you it sounds better, and your not wrong for that, as I'm not necessarily right. When you absolutely say it sounds better, as a fact.. that's not how music works. Geezer, Burton, Getty, Harris, Claypool, Sheehan, Wooten, Graham, Webster and Anthony Voight are some of my favorites.. not a single one uses a pick. If you've ever heard someone use a pick to play Anesthesia, Sinister Minister or Tommy the Cat ... besides the fact it sounds absolutely horrible, it cant be done. James Jamerson would be an unknown if he was a pick user, but motorhead/megadeth wouldn't be as good without a pick. You gotta understand man, it's all subjective... nobody's opinion is wrong, until you start making it sound like it's a fact.

@stephenmclaughlin3328 5 лет назад

Jaymz Moffitt you didn’t answer how playing a pick is lazy

@tk_bass7891 5 лет назад

@@user-xw6uh3yp7g thats because it an easy answer... using a pick requires very little practice... it's so much easier in the short term. Using fingers takes alot more discipline, time served and practice. You gotta remember.. a pick never touched a bass till long after it was electrified. I dont persecute anyone that uses a pick, but the day instopped using one... my world opened up for the sounds and techniques I can pull off. I issue you a challenge... learn any Iron Maiden song.. playing without a pick.. I'm curious how far you'll get. 🤘 May the rythm be with you, and slappin the bass!

It was David Ellefson’s awesome opening bass riff on Peace Sells that really turned me on to Megadeth. I don’t know about others but I feel the bass running through my blood when I listen to metal songs. You can’t always hear it but it’s what gets me going on any song.

Thank you Reverb! *Frank* in the hopes you see this, I was lucky enough to see Anthrax (along with Pantera) and you came out with so much energy and continued it for your entire set, one couldn't help but have a great time! I have been a Bello fan ever since. but that's not my point. The audience was rather lethargic in comparison BUT I want you to know that was not the case. We were all taking it in - you guys crushed it - cheers!

That's what everyone ELSE hears." Ellefson always has that "I just put on some brand spankin' new strings" tone.

I saw them in Dave's home state of MN as a matter of fact. ;) As long as I live, I'll never forget that concert.

It's weird Fieldy would say such a thing since he writes ans signs with his left hand and plucks his bass with the right one. The only explanation is that to him his signature sound is in the hand that's on the neck/fretboard.
