"To Live Is To Die" from Metallica's "...And Justice for All" album (1988).
I spent too many hours transcribing "isolated bass tracks" that turned out to be covers. So that was really confusing for sure. But anyway, in the end I decided to just listen to the original song and boost the bass a bit.
I'm hesitating to do more Metallica cover as there's one thing that really annoys me: the drums. Like I'm sorry but these drum tracks are the absolute worst. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled because all those prog drummers are mega tight, but Lars Ulrich constantly changes tempo. So if I sound a bit out of tempo at times you'll know why. There seems to be a 5BPM drop every time the band returns to the main riff after playing the "fast riff" like at 2:26. Or maybe it's just this song, I don't know.
Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning : E-A-D-G
Artist : Metallica
Bassist : Jason Newsted
Album : ...And Justice for All (1988)
Song : TO LIVE IS TO DIE
Bass : Warwick GPS Corvette 5A Ash

That’s so freaking cool how he strums the chord then controls the volume at 4:20 to make is sound like a string

@@JohnMatayas the best version of the album for sure is the full album bass cover from “The Bass Channel”. Yes, it isn’t played by Jason but the lines are performed perfectly and the mixing is also just right. I only listen to that these days.

Hey Leo. I wish I could message you directly to ask you this, but I don’t think I can. I’m starting to try and record covers. I have a Scarlett 2i2 and a couple built-in webcams and my phone…could you point me to a source to show me how you manage to record your audio/video together, or how to record the sound from your amp without a mic? I know that’s a lot to ask, that’s why I’m hoping there’s a video to point me to or something. My whole rig is physical…spent lockdown building a pedalboard and adjusting amps and whatnot to get the sound I wanted, not thinking about how I was ultimately going to record it. It seems like everyone is saying to just go direct and add in digital effects and IR cabs, but that feels like such a slap in the face to what Ive been building. Is there any easy way to record direct from your amp? If it’s too much to ask, I completely understand. I’ll always appreciate everything you’ve done for me and for the bass community as a whole. Thank you forever and always Leo!

@LeoBassCovers2 2 года назад

No problem man! But it seems like I can't really help in this case.. I have never even looked at videos about physical rigs, let alone tried it out with my own little shitty bass amp. I guess you really have to just mic an amp and do many trial and error sessions. That's all I can really say.. sorry

Can smb please explain to me what this cross in the tablature means?

@LeoBassCovers2 2 месяца назад

It's a muted note/dead note. You cover up the strings with your fretting hand, but still strum it so it's more of a rhythmic note.

@laurencescrenci1460 Год назад

what does the x mean on the tab?

Hey Leo. In your opinion what would be Newstead's best work with Metallica? Whatever that is would you consider covering it? We all love the Cliff stuff. It speaks for itself. But I am curious what someone with your talents thinks would be Jason's best work with them. I feel like he was told to just basically follow the rhythm guitar. Curious what you think...

@LeoBassCovers2 2 года назад

I would've loved to answer this properly, but I literally only know like 5 Metallica songs.. Judging from this song, I would definitely agree that Jason just followed the guitar parts apart from the occasional variation. That's all I can really say.. sorry!

@lillianbrown6005 2 года назад

@@LeoBassCovers2 Understood! The tone on this is killer. So full and powerful, chunky goodness. Can you generally speak to the tone settings? I did read the bit that "No one will read" lol. You go directly into a computer right?

@LeoBassCovers2 2 года назад

Thanks! Yeah it's all digital so the bass goes into my audio interface and then into a DAW. I used Parallax to build this tone which is why it sounds quite good. Parallax is just really amazing. Anyway, I think I actually recorded this with my 4 string jazz bass which is why it sounds a bit more chunky. To get that extra punchiness

@@LeoBassCovers2 Great. Now I have to go and get a Jazz bass to add to the Rick, Ray and the P ha ha I do have MACs but I play 100% through a Traynor tube amp. I can't get close to that tone though.

@dvt1393 7 месяцев назад

Such a great song. Metallica has always made excellent instrumentals, and I wish that they'd make more. This entire album is fantastic, but is held back by some of the worst production that I've heard on a metal album. The thin guitars, tinny drums, and buried bass really work against the songs. I mean, just listening to your cover proves how much more powerful the song is with prominent bass in the mix. Sadly, Jason Newsted had some great bass work on this album that were all but erased from the final product. Would love to see you cover more songs from this album!

@LeoBassCovers2 7 месяцев назад

Honestly, I would love to do more Metallica. I don't know a whole lot of Metallica songs but it seems to always be worth learning those songs
