Awesome playing!🔥Thanks for the video!!🤘🤘
More of these please 🤘
I'd love to see you do Guyana or Demon's Whip. Both underrated and underplayed!
Thanks Matt, we can put those on the list Thank you very much let me know what else you would like to hear or speak about etc… and please spread the word and subscribe to my channel @realjoeydemaio
What I'd absolutely love is if you'd tell stories of how you wrote your great epics like "Mountains", "Bridge Of Death", "Battle Hymn", "Achilles..." etc and what inspired you do them. Not just lyrically, also musically.
Also it would be amazing if you wrote another epic song like these and document the whole process from writing the lyrics up to arrangement, checking vocal lines with eric and getting into production with it.
That would be incredible!
good choices!
Since you asked what other playthroughs I would be interested in...
Guyana and/or Mountains.
Studio insights...
I'd love to see an in-depth look at your Veillette-Citron 8-string, and to hear about its history.
Thanks!
OK great thank you for the suggestions. Duly noted and put on the list for the future. Thank you for your support. Please subscribe and tell your friends to join in with us as well.
Great suggestions thanks for the ideas to do that keep them coming Thank you very much let me know what else you would like to hear or speak about etc… and please spread the word and subscribe to my channel @realjoeydemaio
The Kingdom of Steel is not talked about enough. It has some of the best lines you have written . What a special track. I'd love to know anything about the song you can tell us, how it started, what came first, when was it actually written, ahat bass you used etc
@@musicbynaush well, that’s a lot of stuff but for right now the bass I used was a Gibson DB one just like the one Felix Pappalardi used to play once again thanks for the comment and please spread the word and tell everybody you know to subscribe to the channel. Thanks so much.
Sorry EB 1
@@RottingChristTributeOriginal Yes, I agree. Bridge of Death and Guyana. These are great songs!!!
Correct
Manowar will always be the Kings of Metal and thank you for staying true! Your picking cuts like razor, epic! God bless you and thank you for your music! Hail From Hellas
thank you brother hail to Greece
As an amateur bassist and a manowar fan i really appreciate this video. Your technique is amazing and the posibility to see so clearly this bassline really inspires me, thank you very much. I just suggest to make more and more videos like this :)
One of the best tunes played live ...ever...Hail Joey!!
Thanks Sam Thank you very much let me know what else you would like to hear or speak about etc… and please spread the word and subscribe to my channel @realjoeydemaio
@@realjoeydemaio Consider that done!!!
I cried twice in a row. I've been living manowar music for 20 years. And when I see Joey's technique honed to such perfection... I'm an instrument player myself. And I will see his life, dedicated to music and everything around it. I understand why he doesn't have a family and also why he has come so far. It is absolute surrender.
You and Eric (Luis) have been my role models throughout my life.
Thank you for you are still"
Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. Very kind words please subscribe to my channel and tell everybody to join in much more stuff on the way.
One thing as a request; a series (or however doable) of Manowar album reviews from you, would be interesting to hear how you see the albums after all these years and to know about your favs from the albums, insights on production, different lineups etc. Great stuff already and cant wait to see more!
Totally great suggestion thank you so much for that. I’ll put that on the list for future videos, greatly appreciated, and please tell all your friends to subscribe to this channel @realjoeydemaio
That bass sounds really powerful! Just the way I expected it to be.
Thank you very much let me know what else you would like to hear or speak about etc… and please spread the word and subscribe to my channel @realjoeydemaio
@@realjoeydemaio I'd like to hear you speak about your gear: basses, pickups, amps... Whatever you use to sound as good as you do both in the studio and live.
Are all great suggestions they will find their way immediately to the list
Amazing bass sound, the backbone of all Manowar songs. I would love to hear bridge of death, mountains, guyana, , each dawn i die, demon's whip... so many great bass driven songs it is hard to choose. Nice surprise by the way these playthroughs, much appreciated!
Excellent suggestions thank you so much for taking the time to write. I’ll put these on the list it’s getting bigger every day and of course tell all your friends to join us and subscribe here. @realjoeydemaio
Masterfully played and that distorted bass tone sounds absolutely brutal in the best way possible! 🤘🔥
Thank you so much brutality is the name of the game brother and the need for speed. There’s gonna be a lot of other videos coming, so please tell your friends about it and thank you for your support and subscribe to the channel.
This brings tears to my eyes, been listening Manowar for almost 40 years. Joey is such an amazing bass guitar player and such an inspiration! Greetings from Portugal!

@@realjoeydemaio I will definitely do it.
Thank You !
The most relaxed fretting and picking hand in the business! So much to learn from just watching your posture.
Thanks so much totally appreciate the support. Please subscribe and tell your friend to do the same.
Joey, let me first of all tell you that you are one of my biggest influences as a bassist. I have always been fascinated by your approach towards the instrument, from your play style to the unique modifications that you do to your gear. I would be extremely interested in a video where you explain in detail all the customizing that you do, maybe even make a step-by-step guide in how to turn an ordinary bass into a "manowarrior" bass.
Right now I would like to ask you something that I have always wondered, what is the measure of your string spacing at the bridge? I thank you in advance. I will be eagerly waiting for new videos!
Thank you so much for the comment. Really appreciate it. I’m not sure what the spacing is because it’s different for every base. Remember, I play 8 string basses. 4 st. Piccolo, recording basses and touring basses the are all different please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to do the same
Beautiful
Love to see more of this content
Thanks for your comment and support well there's lots more stuff coming really happy that you enjoy it thank you so much please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to do the same
Manowar has always reminded me of a zen saying, which I will try to loosely recreate out of memory. Before the pupil realizes that they need to achieve enlightenment - the mountains are mountains. After they realize that they need to achieve enlightenment, but they are not there yet and they find themselves in struggle for reaching the ultimate goal - the mountains are no longer mountains. Once the pupil finally becomes a master and achieves enlightenment - the mountains are mountains once again.
In many ways this holds true for Manowar, at least from my experience. For many people who are on the path of achieving something or 'raising above their current selves', Manowar might sound too simplistic to even bother. There are not really complex time-signatures, no crazy tonality shifts or outside playing. But, when I was much younger Manowar were really the sound of nature to me. And if you think about it - nature is both the ultimate and the most simple thing you could think of. I would take those long hikes when I was 13-14 years old in the mountains, only with Manowar on my headphones. Often these would result in spiritual experiences, trip-like or expanding of consciousness without the use of any drugs. The best way to describe those is using the phrase "bringing your mind back to your soul".
But then, I realized that if I like music so much and it has this effect on me - maybe I should learn how to do it myself. The funny thing is that when I started learning music and pushing myself to learn more - while gaining all sorts of technical and theoretical knowledge, I also lost something in the process. And during this time, I no longer enjoyed Manowar music. "its just noise", "he is just showing off", "speed and loudness isn't everything" - you know the typical comments. So what was magic before, was suddenly mundane... Did Manowar change, or have I changed?
It took years to go back and to realize that the magic has been there all along, but it was that I have grown too complex and sophisticated to feel and understand it. At some point I even have forgotten about Manowar, until at some point I heard musicians who I greatly respect like Michael Akerfeld from Opeth or Karl Sanders from Nile to speak very fondly and with lots of respect of Manowar that I turned my eyes and ears back to it. Was it difficult to get back and understand what sounded so great to me in my youth? It was. Manowar has a very thick layer of things that they do, to specifically discourage people who are too full of themselves and people who are too quick to judge based on their, let's say 'incomplete' (or 'false' might be a word you like better) knowledge.
And then I got it. Manowar are just Manowar. Plain and simple. The river is just river, the mountains are just mountains. But in that simplicity is hidden the entire meaning of life. You think its easy to cover a song which is like 5-6 chords in total - well, go and listen to anyone, who ever tried to cover a Manowar song, and has failed. Like when you see the 1000th X-factor participant who covers Freddie Mercury and hits all the 'right' notes (even ones that Freddie had a hard time hitting in live situation) and yet it all sounds wrong. There are just some creations which become entities on their own, and entities are always bigger than their components. I can say for sure that Manowar are one such frigging entity!
Having said all that, I gotta say - I would be really happy to see you do Guyana, as there are some intricacies about your playing in the intro which I still don't get after 30 years of listening to this song. Maybe you would like to keep the mystery - I get it. But its quite requested in the comments, and I am sure that many will enjoy it. And I have subscribed. And spreading the word - don't worry about this.
Thank you for one of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever received it interesting to know. You’re one of the few people that understand the Zen way. I really I’m touched by your words and I mean that most sincerely the only words that I can truly say that have any meaning are thank you From the bottom of my heart I say this in all humility, and with respect from myself, the Manowar band crew, and everyone at Magic Circle Music people like yourself make the world a better place for all.
@@realjoeydemaio I am glad you liked my comment as it was not an upfront praise in a typical fan fashion. I really think that the 'Zen' component is important aspect of good music and vital for metal. There is another word that comes to mind and its "dichotomy". If you want to create a really sweet melody, you also need some sourness to oppose it, if you want happiness, you also need some sorrow, if you want to go to heaven, maybe you need a little bit of hell in your life. I think that good metal always exists as the mid-point of opposites and contradictions.
There is one bass solo from "Sign of The Hammer" album - "Thunderpick", it starts with those wild noises, and I can almost envision how confused some people might be. Yet, within those noises I can hear birds, ants and trees as if its some ambient music. So, within a certain perspective both are true - its noise and art at the same time. And if you were the type of person who would just skip the track, you would then miss some quite spectacular and melodic playing, which is melodic in the more standard sense, but is also hidden within the track and not put upfront to parade with it.
You never start upfront with the obviously good stuff, which reminds me of another Zen story, which I will again try to loosely recreate from memory, so apologies to anyone who might read and say "oh its not like this". People from far and wide have gathered to see a Zen master and to learn from his wisdom, they even paid money to buy tickets - it was almost like a metal show! And then, the Zen master showed up, and he was completely drunk and could barely stand. And many people left 'insulted' right at that moment. Then the Zen master did his best to stand up and try to talk, but once again he fell down, and even more people left enraged that they gave money to see that kind of awfulness. And at the end only a handful of people remained, probably the most stubborn or the most curious. It turned out that the Zen master was never drunk at all - it was all an act! He just wanted to make sure that his messages will reach the right people. Because there are certain messages, which you need to work hard for and to earn the right to hear as only then they can have a real impact on you.
So that's Metal and Manowar in a nut-shell for me. :-)
Absolutely I feel and hear that completely that's why I'm happy if people leave the concert because I only want the people there to be the ones that are those who want to hear the music not destroy the experience for others thank you again brother
@@realjoeydemaio Thank you, and I appreciate that you take the time to read (I did go over-the-top in terms of length...) and answer these comments. You will be obviously fine without doing it, but doing it shows real dedication and concern. Thank you!
It is more than a pleasure brother I appreciate your comments and also your mindset. The purpose of this channel is so that we can all learn from each other, and I feel people will certainly learn from your comments and appreciate what you’re saying you’re helping us all out I see I saw was a big team.

Thanks for the support Sam stay strong
Hi Joey, hope you're doing good! I've been a ManOwaR fan since Kings Of Metal came out and it's really cool to see you posting these videos and reaching out to fans like this. I'd love to see any playthroughs you post but ones I'd particularly love would be Guyana, Fast Taker and The Oath! Cheers

@@realjoeydemaio Thank you for your kind reply! I'd love to hear about your creative process in general. How new Manowar song sees the light. I know you're the main writer and composer in the band, but it would interesting to hear how the demos are made, how much different band members can/must contribute. For example, do you have all singing melodies ready when introducing a new song to the band and how about guitar riffs. Take care!
You are the best bass player, thank you for all, Joey!

damnit..how great it is.. i mean watching it live from first row is not THAT close, and usually you on stage are in full focus about every million things that works during the show and should be perfect, and sometimes i wish you to be more relaxed there. in this video you are so relaxed... so great... can't wait really for more songs to come. Hails from Moscow... can't wait to see you all again
Thank you for the comment and yes you’re very right on stage. I’m concerned with the safety of the fans, the security, the quality of the sound if all the fans can see I could go on forever, but I want the best for our fans and I will not allow her fans to be fucked over.

@@realjoeydemaio Honestly, everything would be great, but some hard hitters like Secret of Steel / Guyana / Mountains would be amazing. Oh and Demon's Whip please, that kickass groove alone worth the showcase.
Plus, I love the bass sound on The Triumph of Steel (the whole album sound is one of my absolute favourites), so it'd be really nice to have some "inside info" on how all this happened. Not every day you hear an album that has guitars/bass hard-panned left right!
Once again, many thanks greatly appreciate it. I will add these to the list that’s getting bigger and bigger every day. Glad you like the stuff and please tell all your friends to join us and subscribe here at @realjoeydemaio
Hi. Whats the brand of the bass and of the Pickups? Thanks

I have so many things to tell you.
I want to start with the fact that I'm working very hard to get Manowar playing in Palermo, Sicily (I don't know if Manoel mentioned anything to you).
Seeing and hearing this song play makes my soul exalt, I love playing it and you don't know how much I'd like to play at least once with Manowar in concert.
I hope you will listen to my small but great Manowar tribute project. I called it WOTWU Project.

Really great to see more of this kind of content from you Joey! Call to Arms is an all time favourite.
My bassist plays a modified Bass VI, and, by complete accident, it's the closest thing I've heard to your tone in the wild, so to speak. My question is, as the man with the most experience in the world on unique bass style, what do you think of the VI? Thanks
🤘😈
I think anything anybody wants to play is fine whatever they do 4 5 6 string bass I play an 8 string bass I think there's so much to do and so much fun to have that whatever anybody's doing as long as it's something that hits them and makes them feel like the instruments part of them then they're doing the right thing
That’s so awesome Joey
Will there be a guitar cover of this song also?
I’d love to learn it
Hail and kill brother 🤘🏻

Hi . Whats the brand and gauges of your strings? Are you testing guitar pickups for you have more gain and distortion? What was your favorite brand of pickups in the earlier days ? Thanks Mr Joey.
Thanks for your comment. The strings are stainless steel and their medium heavy gauge so I think they like 40 to like 100. As far as pick ups go I’m just trying to find something that sounds good. In the position you put it in and other words in the neck position I want one sounded in the bridge position. I want another sound. I’m never happy. I’m always changing in the last 10 or 15 years I think I’ve been using EMG pick ups, but I no longer use those. I’m on the hunt at the moment trying all kinds of things but thank you for your comments and support. Please subscribe and tell all your friends to join the fun.
Great video!...I wonder what kind of recording rig you have behind you?...

Thank you very much. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun having a community of really interested people share fun ways to improve everything we’re all doing nothing better than being an eternal student of high quality sound.
@@realjoeydemaio Manowar sound has always been unique and crystal clear! Cant wait to learn more about it on youtube and upcoming spoken word tour
Joey what did you use in the original recording of sting of the bumblebee? Thanks again for doing this !
It was my regular 4 string Rickenbacker nothing special
I've always been a fan of your absolutely massive bass tone and unique playing style. You perfected the art of metal bass playing, and you were my main inspiration for choosing the bass guitar as one of my hobbies. Hats off to you, sir! Thoroughly enjoying your insights on the instrument!
I'd love to see playthroughs of some all-time classics... The Secret Of Steel, Bridge Of Death, Gates Of Valhalla, The Demon's Whip, to name a few. If not asking too much - with tabs as well! These motherfuckers are tough to find!!!
Thank you so much for the great comment and suggestions I will certainly add all of these to the ever-growing list of songs and thank you for your support. Please tell all of your friends and include yourself to join this channel and spread the word. Let’s build an ass kicking community where we can all learn from each other. @realjoeydemaio
@@realjoeydemaio Already did invite them all! This channel will blow their fucking heads off! I for one, cannot stop listening to this playthrough. These bass licks during the chorus are sick.
May I ask what kind of wood this Rarebird bass has? What did Dawk (RIP) do to your Demon II bass to make the neck so thin and at the same time not snap in half with the string tension? I'm assuming that the string gauges you normally use help to ease some of that tension, but it's still mindblowing stuff. I'm asking because I have a BC Rich bass which has great wood, great design and a neck-thru body, but the neck is too damn bulky and the pickups/electronics are garbage. I've been considering customizing the hell out of it for years. Thanks again for the dedication to reply to us all fans, you are a fucking demon. HAIL AND KILL!
Thank you for the support. My bases are custom built so the size of the neck was not a neck that was shaved down or a guitar that was modified. It’s from years of experimentation. I came to this design. I’m working on new basis right now I’m building one out of aluminum and I hope to find a way to be able to get these incredible instruments when they’re done into the hands of people like yourself that want to burn subscribe to the channel and tell all your friends to do the same and stay tune so you could follow the process while I’m building a bass
@@realjoeydemaio I see! I wonder how many bass necks you've broken throughout those years of experimentation...
Oh, I HOPE you find a way to get these custom designed basses into our hands. It has always been my dream to own and play a bass guitar engineered by you!!! I will be certainly following every step and update from this channel. Thanks again, Joey! Keep crushing it!!!
Well I have to say once again thank you so much and please spread the word and invite all your friends to invite their friends to join the channel let's build an ass kicking Community here so we can all learn from each other and have fun
Hi Joey, I'm sure you've answered this before but why do you have so much space above your E string on the neck? Is purely a byproduct of your smaller string spacing? Seeing your spacing has definitely made me consider my standard set up as I do lots of power chords! rock on
Good question! I just have always felt that too much wood gets in my way !! thanks so much and please subscribe and spread the word and tell your friends to join us
And That's why You are the KING! 💪
What brand and gauge strings are you using here? What do you think about the rotosound 66 extra light gauge 85-30?
On your Ric.......what is the string spacing width on the bridge? is 1 1/4" about what you are doing? Thanks
Thanks so much for the comment actually no the strings on this bass I think go up to a 90 or 100 so I think they start somewhere around 45 I believe and I don’t know offhand what the what the spacing is it’s really not that close compared to some of the other bass’s I only use this one for recording because it has super high action and big strings. I prefer to have it that way when tracking I don’t use Roto sound strings are used to use them many many years ago. These are stainless steel and I forget the brand I’ll look around and see if I still have one of the packages somewhere to let you know, but thank you so much for your support and please subscribe to the channel and tell everybody about it that you know much more stuff is coming
Pretty cool sound! My all-time favorite bass sound is on Triumph of Steel. Could you please show us how it was done? 👍🤟
Thank you for the comment and for your support. I’ll put that on the list. I appreciate the suggestions. Keep them coming please subscribe to the channel until all your friends about it.
Joey, please bring back that SHARP, BRILLIANT, TIGHT sound you used to do until louder than hell. Bring back the 8 string bass! Bass lines like Guyana! Love your art!
Thanks for the comment that sound works really great for certain songs, but not for every song, the explanation for that will be part of a special segment, so please be on the lookout for that subscribe and tell all your friends to do the same

Great playthrough of this very powerful song. I would really appreciate a playthrough of the songs:

Very cool once again, I can only say thanks I’m tell all your friends to join us
I really love the arrangements! Like in WOTWU where its only lead first chorus then keys in 2nd and choirs in 3rd and such. I also prefer those albums where the bass in panned to one side and guitar to the other. Just fit the playing style of Manowar. Its more true! 😂 Would love to see a video where you go through your signal chain from bass, pedals, to amp.
Thanks for the comment Ronnie appreciate it. Thanks for the suggestions I’ll put 😊

Please make videos of you playing the bass parts from Each Dawn I Die and Guyana. I have seen people on RUclips trying to play bass covers of them, but they are playing them wrongly
That's a good one. I'll put those on the list. Thank you so much for your suggestion, and please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us.
In the song Each dawn I die the bass strangely vibrates in some moments during the chorus. Never heard this bass sound before and ever after. Would be cool to see you play it and know how you do it :-)
Thank you so much for the comment. I’ll have to listen to it and see what the heck it could be. It was recorded a while ago as you may know, but thank you for your comment and support and please subscribe to the channel. Tell all your friends to do the same.
@@realjoeydemaio Well, I could have described it a little better tho :D . But it's hard to describe, it's like sliding the strings with a pick..?... It sounds really cool. Anyway, thanks for the reply and have a nice day Joey. Looking forward new videos.
Thank you for your support really appreciate it. Please tell all your friends and there’s lots more stuff coming.
Are those Dimebuckers?

@@realjoeydemaio yesszir! Owrayt! 👊
I refer to Joeys bssses as a bassar or a guibass. The neck width but the nut slots and bridge position? I think even the old Rickenabker thing has a super narrow neck\fretboard? The guitar pickups instead of bass pickups. And what gauge strings? All why no other bass player sounds like this, cuz its a bass player playing a bassar, or a guibass I tell you lol

Listening to Manowar since 14. Greetings from Ukraine. Bass line is awesome, but what do you think about acoustic bass guitars?
Thank you for the support I like acoustic bass guitars I actually have a custom built 8 string acoustic they're beautiful mine sounds like a grand piano it's beautiful instrument once again thanks for your support subscribe to my channel and tell all your friends to join us
@@realjoeydemaio thanks for your answer. Before I discovered piccolo bass I used an acoustic guitar with tuning E-A-D-G-B-E (strings: EAD-EAD, all wound/bass). The sound was quite different, but chords were extremely deep and even dark. But I think it's time to try a real bass.
As long as you’re having fun, it doesn’t make any difference and maybe what you’re hearing could be your own sound and your own thing there’s no laws it’s just what you like I know who you are
Hello Joey
Why do you always use bass with two outputs and when did you start using this feature? From your first rickenbacker?
Hail from Russia ✊
I’ve been doing it for many years it allows you to split the signal into high and low frequencies so you have complete control over both at the same time to pick ups two preamps two power amps two cabinets try it. It works great thank you for your support please tell all your friends to subscribe to my channel. There’s gonna be a lot of great stuff coming.
@@realjoeydemaio Thanks!
You are more than welcome
Please subscribe to the channel and tell all your friends to do the same thing
Joey, Manowar needs a Louder Than Hell part two. That same rawness of sound, that same determination. I know you can still do it. Hail!
What a cool idea thank you so much for thinking of it and making the suggestion please tell your friends to subscribe to the channel
And btw , this song , Call to Arms , once managed to cure my headache ! : ) .. Isn't that great ? : )
No it's not great it's fantastic I think that's a brilliant saying thank you for your support in the comment and please subscribe and tell your friends to
Intro reminds me of Cliff stylewise
Yes, very sad. What happened to Cliff? He was a great player.

Joey, aren't you afraid to "lose a dB of sound" by not turning the volume knob all the way up again after muting the bass output, like in 4:11? Did that ever happen during a concert? I assume you customized that part of your bass guitars as well to prevent that from happening. That knob on your Demon bass is fucking huge.
Also, I noticed how you play with the pick, striking the strings with the round end of it. Unusual! Any insights about going for that style? When did you first start playing like that?
This video is awesome, I keep coming back to watch the motherfucker every week to get my monster bass tone fix!
HAIL AND KILL!!!
I’m not so bothered in the studio when that happens I can always do another take but live it Hass to be either 100% on or 100% off at the volume. I’m playing a simple scratch sounds like the hammer of Thor thanks for your support and comments subscribe to the channel until all your friends to join us.
