Totally agree, my personal favorite. Don't know why people stop at Nib even it is so good, you got some great bass lines in all the albums like warning, the wizard for the first album, war pigs, fairies wear boots or hand of doom. He play more notes and melody than other bassist i thought. Don't know why people underrated him so hard.
Joey P that's why Terrance is my favourite. for me is the best not because of his amazing way of introducing lyrics but the technique he uses to speed up the tempo with Toni's riffs. amazing , simply amazing thanks to Black Sabbath we have metal.
How is a timeless masterpiece underated ? This stuff will still be heard into the next century. Creating such a legendary legacy is hardly what you are calling it....
Black Sabbath are only in the top 3 (mostly number 1) on every metal top list ever made and also considered to have created the genre. Vastly underated. 😂
Grew up playing bass then switched to guitar. This was my transition song. Started learning it on bass and then finished it on guitar. One of the best songs in the world, in my opinion.
Maybe I've gotten lazy and don't practice enough...but even if I did, I still seem to have trouble picking up exactly what Geezer was laying down here. This video provides vital information for me to LEARN THIS SONG RIGHT. Thank you Troy. Your "Bass Player-programmed" wonderful mind is hugely evident here...to pick out all of those pentatonic "box" fills and bring them up to the light for all to see and hear. Thank you bother!
+luv basses Thanks for the nice comment but, as I said in the "about" section, I'm playing "in the spirit of Geezer" during some of the crazier sections. I was more concerned about coming up something I could play reliable live and wasn't striving as much for "note for note" in this cover.
Did you notice that most of the song took place in the middle of the neck, save the 4 open strings. That must be in the zone. What a monster to learn that one. There's a certain trade-off between bass making song structure and bass solo melodies. Thats hard to do. And they tend to merge into each other along the way. The good bass players always have the song structure nearby and can both give to the song and spotlight themselves too.
I watched this video around 80 times over this past weekend. Slowing it down and picking it dry for all the riffs. I played along with it so many times, that I would not have been surprised if you just stopped and said “ok...that’s enough...I’m going home”. Thanks again, it was fun.
Holy Geez....we cover this song and its a pain in the ass. first time ive seen you play it and its good to know that i had the "solo" in close proximity. of course its never the same twice.... (for me anyways) Its also one of the first times ive seen expressions on your face. Normally you look incredibly bored. Your a great player man. Thanks for all the lessons.
Awesome as always! Geezer is one of my bass heroes, not to mention his lyric-writing, and this is one of the best songs of one of the best bands in rock and roll history. There's a local Sabbath tribute band near where I live, and though I'm not really into the whole tribute thing, whenever they are playing they kill, and even after 40 years younger people still sing along to the lyrics, Sabbath's music is that timeless. It's good to see you enjoying yourself, too, you're always too cool, man!
Helium Road I was totally into Sabbath for a time when I was starting out. I was pretty dark in my youth. I think the fact that I'd decided I was going to one take of this song, just like the gig, took some of the pressure off and that might explain my relaxed demeanor.
You even did that Geezer Butler/Ace Frehley three-finger thingy. I like that you did a tribute verbatim version. This song has a format that advanced beginners could play through. I think naturally the song gets improvised over. I would love to hear your version of War Pigs.
Thanks, but I'm pretty sure that it was not intentional. Actually, I played it fairly close, but definitely ad-libbed most of the part beneath the guitar solo. Thanks and take care, Ed!
Thanks for that Mr T truly amazing bass playing, if I could play like you do I would be very satisfied. I have a Squire Jazz bass, could I get the sound you get? Once again thank you so much for being on RUclips. I'm 70 years of age in a classic rock band and have been gigging off & on since I was 16. One day I hope to be nearly as good as you. Respect man.
I hate to disappoint you, but I went off on my own during the guitar solo. Normally, I try to cover stuff as closely as I can to the original recording but, in this case, I learned it for a live situation so I took some liberties.
Like I said, it's like sitting in on master's level instruction class. If The Professor ever charged admission, it'd be a race to see who gets in line first. Doin' ol' Geezer proud, boss. Thanks for another bulletproof cover. Boy, seeing you play live would have been such a kick.
Wow! What a kool story! Thanx for sharing that! So you know i just found your channel, also just found your comment's on the song's you play. Geezer is one of my top 3 favorite player's. I met him (an Rudy Sarzo) and he was such a really nice guy. Ive met a number of music biggie's. He was easily one of the all around best. Your Black Sabbath cover's are really impressive and your dedication to Bass and music is exceptional. Im sorry , ive read in comments that you are badly hurt from the non response to Covid. Work wise, me too.. Thanks for your time and effort to produce these video's. So, (Long winded!) "War Pig's" is one of the reason's i had to attempt playing Bass. You have been instrumental in my re dedicating to play. Thank You. I am hoping you get what you want, an get all the good that you deserve. Sincerely Chris.
Thanks for taking the time to read it, Chris. Very cool that you got to meet two of your bass heroes. I've heard nice things about both of them. Geezer gets extra points because he likes cats. I'm also flattered to hear that you liked my covers and possible found them helpful. Thanks again and take care!
TJH3113 I do yes!! I've been playing guitar for close to 15 yrs and I just picked up a Squier vintage jazz bass and it's hard! Lol I figured playing guitar it's got to be the same thing in my pants completely different
That was amazing. I'm a huge Rudy Sarzo fan and could pick out those runs. I was smiling from ear to ear on this track. Really well done. Thanks for sharing with us.
Constantine Isslamow Thanks a lot. The Sarzo part was mainly at the beginning and ending of the first guitar solo, if we're talking about the same thing. I think he may have played ascending root, 5th and octave. I prefer walking down stairs.
I just had tears in my eyes. It's so beautiful to hear this wonderful bass lines so strong and clear and not so mushy and in the background like in the original recordings. My son of 2 1/2 keeps pressing repeat all the time.
"I hate to disappoint you, but I went off on my own during the guitar solo. ".. I bet Geezer did when he laid down the track :) I went back over this to pick up on some of the things I was doing wrong so many years ago (Molson will do that to ya). Great job!
Cool story. It's cool when you can just walk in and everything goes well. I just auditioned for pretty big cover band in my little town, Knoxville. My goal was to go in and them say it is like you have been here all along. And sure enough they said that. I got the gig and now having to learn 60 more songs plus the 10 I already learned. Well this is one of them . And I'm going to play it just like you play it, Or at least try. You have covered well over half of the songs I need to learn thank you so much Troy. You have helped me so much over the last 2 years as I've started to play again. My goal was to work my way up and play with an established cover band and that has happened with this band they are well known and very good thanks again
Fab cover as always Troy and a great story. I am truly shocked to think that someone with your skills and obvious talent isn't out playing live. Surely that's the essence of any musician, isn't it? Music needs you, so get out there and rock and "roll the bones." 😀
floouk Thanks. Yeah, I've always been a bit of an anomaly in that I've always loved to play, to learn songs, to write songs and to rehearse them with a band, but I have never gotten much satisfaction from playing out. Of course I did it because, that is the whole point, isn't it? But, when I was a young player I would play for hours and hours every day, learning songs and just riffing and would always derive a great sense of satisfaction from that. This RUclips channel has really helped me reconnect to that again. The sad truth is that 99% of an average audience has no idea what they are listening to and there's no way I can (or will) compete with some hack "jumping around like a Kansas City faggot" and hitting all the wrong notes along the way.
Damn, its already been almost 2 years since I first touched a bass. I came back to this song today just to see where I'm at from when I first looked at it last year. Being able to play along with you after only an hour of practice is wonderful, especially since I couldn't play it after days of practice back then. Awesome channel and skills! Watching you play has been a boon to my skills on the bass, so thank you for the wonderful content!
Great playing as usual. This is from the first rock album I ever bought back in 1970. Geezer was a big influence on my bass playing. Looks like a Geddy Lee signature Jazz you're playing there
Occasionally I go back and rewatch some faves. This is one of them (along with Duran Duran's "Rio"). You really look like you enjoyed playing this one. I wasn't a metal head myself when I was younger but I absolutely LOVE to play this song live. It's both interesting and fun. Enjoying your latest vacation inspired covers as well. Thanks.
Totally awesome to hear and watch you play. You have sucked me into watching all of your bass covers! Also, killer masks too.... I was a subscriber to the Fangora magazine when I was kid....
Dude, you are a great bass player. I watch your covers all the time, and your original music videos. I would love to see a cover video of Behind the wall of sleep/n.i.b. with the bass solo in it. You would be my hero!!!!
That's wonderful! You covered Geezer without copying him, making your own bass line for the song - and equally amazing! I envy you, man! But it's positive envy hahaha Hope I can play with that mastery one day...
While most of the masks are of original characters there are, as you said, a few from the movies. The one's from the movies are, off the top of my head - Swamp Witch from Legend, Airport Zombie from (the original) Dawn of the Dead, Dr. Decker from Night Breed, Mr. Barlow from (the original) Salems' Lot, Harryhausen Cyclops from 7th Voyage of Sinbad, The Screaming Woman from (the original) House on Haunted Hill.
Not sure how I missed this one. Great job as always Troy. Also, I love reading your stories. Hope you have a great holiday season and fabulous new year! -Mike
Thanks! And congratulations of taking up the bass. I hope you derive as much satisfaction from playing as I have/do. With some time and patience I'm sure you can surpass anything that I can do! Take care.
@@TJH3113 Yeah man. Try splitting the waveform into mono channels (left=mono, right=mono). Invert the right (now mono) channel and skip to the solo section, you'll hear ONE bassline. This method also generally works to remove vocals in a song because it takes away the centre channel. Have fun.
You and I must be brothers through a different mother. Every time I look for a bass cover of my favorite "Classic Rock" song I see you have it covered. I've heard it said, "Great minds think alike".
Excellent performance. Troy, you might be interested in a cover of this song by The Main Squeeze. They do an amazing version complete with keyboard solos you never knew it needed and a vocalist who sounds like he learned his chops in an AME church choir.
Thanks, but it's not as "note for note" as many of my other covers are. I wrote about it in the description if you are interested. I'm sorry, but I don't have any tabs. I play by ear and memory and don't transcribe anything. If I had tabs, you would be most welcome to them.
Cyclopes gathered in their masses, all pissed off because no one makes one lensed glasses!
Brilliant!
I could totally imagine Geezer coming up with that!
great crowd back there
carlos rmirez lmao
...fallen or wounded slaves
(soldiers)crowded back there.
They followed the orders of
'War Pigs'.
'War Pigs' are sitting in save
places.
Idk kinda dead
They look like masks from GOOSEBUMPS.
@@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13 that's exactly what I was thinking lol
3:59 Holy shit
My thoughts exactly
I'm currently learning this part and holy shit is right 😭
One of the BEST and underrated bass players AND lyricist, GEEZER BUTLER!!! Great job... Isn't easy
Totally agree, my personal favorite. Don't know why people stop at Nib even it is so good, you got some great bass lines in all the albums like warning, the wizard for the first album, war pigs, fairies wear boots or hand of doom. He play more notes and melody than other bassist i thought. Don't know why people underrated him so hard.
Marius Durupt let's not forget what an incredible lyricist he is.... he wrote 99% of Sabbath's songs... a true genius in the music world...
Oh yes, i love the lyrics too, i was talking about his bassist talent. Lot a sabbath lyrics make me cogitate. Sorry for the forget :p
Joey P that's why Terrance is my favourite. for me is the best not because of his amazing way of introducing lyrics but the technique he uses to speed up the tempo with Toni's riffs. amazing , simply amazing thanks to Black Sabbath we have metal.
Underrated lyricist, yes. But not bass player. When people pick their top 10 bass players Geezer is often mentioned.
Geezer and Bill made an incredible rhythm together. Vastly underrated.
Yes, they did.
How is a timeless masterpiece underated ? This stuff will still be heard into the next century. Creating such a legendary legacy is hardly what you are calling it....
Black Sabbath are only in the top 3 (mostly number 1) on every metal top list ever made and also considered to have created the genre. Vastly underated. 😂
I didn't know War Pigs had such a good bass line until I watched your video man..well done, it's epic..
mtsimpl geezer's amazing
Lol what don't yall listen to music?
Great cover, I like how he makes his bass louder than the backing, most covers are just listening to a song with somebody with a bass in their hand
Disraeli Gears this
It's unfortunate Geezer's bass was diminished in the mix ... it's excellent, and deserves a more prominent place.
Rite
Where’s the superlike button for this comment!
@@man-gi8suMost studio and live recordings it was hard to hear his bass.
Grew up playing bass then switched to guitar. This was my transition song. Started learning it on bass and then finished it on guitar. One of the best songs in the world, in my opinion.
Very cool! It's one of the best, that's for sure.
Virtuoso - check out 4:00 - 4:30 insane!
fuck yea awesome jamming, geezer is a god. btw have you ever thought of covering king crimson? some of wettons stuff on red is outstanding
+1. Red or One More Red Nightmare would be great.
lam neth Thanks. Never got into Crimson.
TJH3113
oh fair enough, have you ever given starless a listen? one of the greatest prog rock songs ever created IMO
lam neth I agree. Along with The Court of the Crimson King
Love the tone of the Fender Jazz Bass. Excellent Rendition of a Classic. Kudos
110% cool! Totally in the groove!
ThunderBassist Jay Thanks.

Geezer was the man who first got me interested in playing bass all those years ago...
He was there for me too, right after gene simmons.

onecircle1 Great comment. I've always preferred structure to improv but certainly respect both schools of thought.
Awesome sound and cover!!

+G Sabat +1
Difficult? Definitely.
Referring to it as a pain in the ass though? Hell no dude, it's fun as hell to play in my opinion.
Something things are timeless and legendary
Stunningly, technically gifted bass playing Troy.
Thanks for the very kind words.

Helium Road Also, the sidebar on youtube is just full of War Pigs and other Geezer bass covers. Says something right there.

Cool, I played that in a few bands and I played it just like you did... I feel better about myself now.
The best way to make sure you're playing something correctly is to compare it to how this guy does it.
I hate to disappoint you, but I went off on my own during the guitar solo. Normally, I try to cover stuff as closely as I can to the original recording but, in this case, I learned it for a live situation so I took some liberties.
haha, the way you add your own stuff into your vids is NEVER disappointing! Geezer would be proud...
Like I said, it's like sitting in on master's level instruction class. If The Professor ever charged admission, it'd be a race to see who gets in line first.
Doin' ol' Geezer proud, boss. Thanks for another bulletproof cover.
Boy, seeing you play live would have been such a kick.
Oxnard Montalvo Oh please. I do it for the comments. Thanks.
Awesome playing.
And you always manage to get the tone I've been trying to get
forever. Great Job

I LOVE that E7 thing at 3:30! Geezer is a genius!
Or is it just an E?
Yes, he is.
I'm not sure.

Thanks for the awesome comment..

Haven't seen a bad cover from you yet, And Im pretty sure Im not gunna. Killer Cover.
Eh, some are better than others.
Some songs maybe. But your playing is great. No matter what the song.

3:59= best part!!! I can't believe it is even possible for someone to learn a bass riff like that BY EAR! Nonetheless, this is a great cover. Respect!
Thanks, but remember, I'm playing my own interpretation of the song.
I really enjoy your bass videos. I've learned a lot watching them. Thanks for doing these.
Glad to hear it! Thank you very much. My pleasure.

This is incredible! I wish I had this video when I was learning this song years ago.
Great playing as usual. This is from the first rock album I ever bought back in 1970. Geezer was a big influence on my bass playing. Looks like a Geddy Lee signature Jazz you're playing there
Thank you. Yes, it is a GL Jazz.
Muito legal !!! Se possível, vou deixar um pedido de música, please : phantom of the opera ( Iron Maiden )
Obrigado. Vou dar uma olhada.
We need a heaven and hell cover!! The Dio era is so underrated
The best I can do on such short notice is Neon Knights.
great job ! was that note for note or some improv?
***** Thanks. Some improv during the guitar solos.
TJH3113 Best improv I've seen though =)
Dude ,Are your improvs are based on geezer`s live ones? wicked improvs btw ! keep on rockin
Thanks as always for posting this and the back story. I played this live just two weeks ago and I wished you had done it, Wish granted! :P
Ben CAKE Thanks for checking it out. You should always be careful what you wish for...the genie punishes.
Fucking excellent..................You inspire me..
+Chris Nichols Thanks.
You're a phenomenal player, man. I can't say anything more than that. Just brilliant.
Thank you, you are too kind.
Revisiting this... Such a melodious bass line - crazy
Wow! Beautiful lines
Wow.... Just Wow..... 💕

Are those masks for sale
The way this bass line is conducted by the end of the song is just unbelievable
At 4:13; a rare smile :)
Thank you for showing me the secrets of this classic, Troy
My pleasure.
Excellent, Troy!!

Thanks a lot. Me too, until the ads started outnumbering the articles.
Great job from an underappreciated bassist
Thanks a lot.
Literally so perfect
Thanks.
Those triplets at 4:00 are amazing.
Dude, you are a great bass player. I watch your covers all the time, and your original music videos. I would love to see a cover video of Behind the wall of sleep/n.i.b. with the bass solo in it. You would be my hero!!!!

Simply amazing

best cover of this song on yt
Thanks a lot!
Monster jams and monster and several iconic movie masks
While most of the masks are of original characters there are, as you said, a few from the movies.

Best cover I have ever heard of this and what bridge do you have on this jazz
Thank you Jonathan. The bridge is the stock BadAss.
I really like this!!! I'm learning to play bass. I hope someday be as good as you are! Keep rocking!
Thanks! And congratulations of taking up the bass. I hope you derive as much satisfaction from playing as I have/do. With some time and patience I'm sure you can surpass anything that I can do! Take care.
This song has an overdubbed bassline at both solo sections, just like Tony did. Had no idea until 10 years after I first heard the song lol.
No wonder it was such a pain to try and figure out.
@@TJH3113 Yeah man. Try splitting the waveform into mono channels (left=mono, right=mono). Invert the right (now mono) channel and skip to the solo section, you'll hear ONE bassline. This method also generally works to remove vocals in a song because it takes away the centre channel. Have fun.
Monstruoso ! Parabéns !
Thank you!
Holy shit, this is awesome !!!!!!!!!
+Dinze Lord Thanks.
You and I must be brothers through a different mother. Every time I look for a bass cover of my favorite "Classic Rock" song I see you have it covered. I've heard it said, "Great minds think alike".
You never know!
Excellent performance. Troy, you might be interested in a cover of this song by The Main Squeeze. They do an amazing version complete with keyboard solos you never knew it needed and a vocalist who sounds like he learned his chops in an AME church choir.
I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip.
The most perfect cover I've seen of this song. Tabs?
Thanks, but it's not as "note for note" as many of my other covers are. I wrote about it in the description if you are interested. I'm sorry, but I don't have any tabs. I play by ear and memory and don't transcribe anything. If I had tabs, you would be most welcome to them.
