    dUg is so amazing. What's amazing about him is his note choices. He can be busy when he wants but everything he does seems to be very solid. He really colors the music with these soulful counterpoint lines. It still floors me that when I hear something new in an old KX song, its usually him being subtle.

    What dUg is saying about slinging the bass really low "Because it looks right" CJ Ramone of the Ramones said that not only does it look right but it's also critical for playing downstrokes, since your arm is relaxed and the wrist is doing all the work.
    I'm pretty sure dUg playing the way he does, found out about that too.

    I heard dUg say "Glen Hughes" - I hang on every word he says like it's gold. Now I have a new band; musical sound to explore. Never really listened to Deep Purple - actually I'd never heard of them until I heard dUg mention his name; looked it up; found out he was the bassist of a band called "Deep Purple" - now I'm listening to Deep Purple. Thank you dUg! (gonna finish watching this video first, of course! :P ). BTW, I do the same thing with King's X I'll rewind and listen to a certain riff over and over and over until it's hardwired into my brain and I understand it at a deeper; emotional level. (also looking into Trapeze). Funny how things come full circle isn't it? Maybe I'll start a band called "Full Circle".

  • @rwblackwell
    @rwblackwell 5 лет назад +1

    These two guys are both monster low riders! Personally, I'd rather listen to dUg play than David though. dUg's style is pure groove, pocket and soul. Also, his tone is so much more than just bottom end. It's Chris Squire/Geddy Lee-esque chunky mids and highs over big, gritty, punchy and compressed lows. I have nothing negative to say about David Ellefson's playing or tone as it fits perfectly into Megadeth's mix. BUT When I hear dUg riff on his 12 string, (eg. ALL songs on "Out Of The Silent Planet") it just sounds and feels so great! Just my personal opinion. Great video though!
