Megadeth - "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" (Bass Cover)

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The only way to play this song in all its glory is with a pick. This song is basically a picking tour-de-force extravaganza. To play it without it would require making some adaptations to how it is performed and executed. In this case, to honor the great work done by David Ellefson, I've played it as it was originally intended. I hope you enjoy it. (Maybe I'll do a fingerstyle version later on...)
*I was able to find a version of the song with no bass and used it as backing track.
Bass: Alembic Elan
Tuning: Standard
It appears that the dog is not a Megadeth fan
He probably likes cannibal corpse
Or Carcass.
James Hetfield’s gonna kick him
Dog must be a Metallica fan
Cannibalism corps is great tho
This guy has the best bass covers on RUclips. Both in song choice, tone and playing.
I 100% agree
Oh his tone is is nothing short of addictive!!!
YES.
David504: i challenge you to a bass battle
One day I'll be big enough for people to talk about my tone.
Finally, a bass player who's not talking shit about using the sinful pick. That shows the musical versatility you have. Your technique is awesome as usual.
OMG
i love the sound of a pick only thing i dont like is when its used on songs that originally played with fingers
@@feverlma playing this with fingers might have given him tendonitis lol agreed dude
I don't understand why people give other players shit about using a pick. It is so stupid. Ellefson is the best example why it is stupid. He's a monster. See also Jason Newsted, Rex Brown and countless others!!!!! It's just another method of playing like slap and pop, used for a specific tone and style of music. End of story!!
pick is more easy......period
Seriously how and why do people give a thumbs down to his videos?? This guy is a beast!!
people who cant play it correctly
Must be misclicks
probably jealous
Probably Ellefson
He doesnt have his boobs on show.
what a versatile bassist, great pick and finger playing
Nice pfp
thanks pal, this makes me proud
Nice pfp
Mmm I'm not proud for the fact that I recognize your pic...
Great pfp
when you see kello use a pick, yk now some serious shit is coming
The ultimate thrash metal tone
nice pfp
it also comes from the pick
Why does he look like Keanu Reeves with a big beard
We don't know,but we like it!
Lmfao! Facts
may be he is keanu reeves, he even has a dog
@@pawandevil Keanu Reeves is also a bassist!
Because he is a killer with the bass
I don’t think people appreciate how hard it is to pick like this on a bass; thicker strings and further to travel in between each string when compared to guitar.... all the while stopping the other strings letting out any noise or hum to muddy up the low end. Great job my man! 🤘
Agreed.
It really a big difference between guitar and bass. My guitarist keeps telling me to use a pick even though it's not as easy as on guitar. I for sure appreciate this as well.
I don't know about other commenters but I certainly didn't expect to see a dog casually walk across the room when I started watching.
Anyway, great performance. Another great bass performance from David Ellefson is My Last Words.
Go see a doc, dude! Cuz you're sick AF! Lol I'm always blown away by your covers man.
Un crack... UN CRACK es lo que sos papá. Excelente interpretación. Esa precisión con la pua es muy difícil de imitar, especialmente en esta canción. Tenés demasiado talento... Deberías estar con los grandes. Te deseo lo mejor! Excelente trabajo otra vez.
Muchas gracias, te lo agradezco!
The Dawn Patrol coda is a nice touch!
You've been crazy productive during this whole quarantine keeping us all amazed and entertained. Don't leave us hanging once the world reopens! lol
I have watched multiple different covers of this song. I even attended David Ellefson's in #basstory event in Turkey. This one has the same quality as the original. Greetings.
Thanks!
A Like is not enough to show appreciation for that performance. That was off the charts. Outstanding job brotha.
Thank you very much 👊🏻
I can’t ever get enough of the rhythm underlying the solo at the end with those triplets. The bass just showcases how that part is such pure incredible metal
Alembic Elans have my favorite bass tone for thrash, played through a solid amp they’re unbeatable
Man ... I was not ready for this cover. I listen this song all the time since once week 😂
Even his doggo is black. How metal can you get? \m/
Sounds great - tone is killer and the playing, as ever, a fantastic tribute to the original.
I learned this last year as part of a set I played as stand-in bassist with a UK Megadeth tribute and had to learn to play with a pick properly for the first time. David Ellefson is much underrated.
Bro, two words.
Holy. Shit.
Kello playing with a pick? Unbelievable! Still so, very EPIC! :P
I was surprised too. :D
Ellefson played this with a pick, so it makes sense that Kello would too. 👍🏼
Ellefson is my favorite, Kello too. Thanks dude,I always enjoy watching your videos !
That dawn Patrol part in the end though!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Hell yeah! With a pick like its meant to be. Amazing stuff
👊🏻
Omg this is ridiculously insane 😍🤟🏻 well done 👏🏻
Thank you very much 👊🏻
Ellefson would be proud..Awesome job Kello!!!
Dude, Ellefson has been fired. Audition!
So tight and accurate! Love the tone too
You are an inspiration. Keep rockin !
Ellefson stated that when they opened with this he looked forward to the flamenca part, to give his picking arm a rest. Makes perfect sense now. Great playing man! Nice Dawn Patrol intro/outro ;)
Nice job once again Kello. Man I love that Alembic!
Legendary song, and awesome playing. Your right hand is extremely accurate and precise. Thanks for uploading.
My favourite Megadeth song
Great song and album 👊🏻
Your picking is sooooo precise yet sooooo powerful. Truly such a joy to watch. :)
Love the little dawn patrol at the end. Awesome cover man
Never seen you use a pick before. Good job dude 👍
Thanks!
Maybe one of the best Holy wars bass cover video on RUclips! always amazed by your skill and tone
Best Mega album imo, with peace sells a close second. The structural/technical aspect of this album are phenomenal. You playing it is a beautiful thing thing to see. Thanks..
I'm glad that I've just discovered your videos man, beautiful covers!

Killer work!
In love
:p
This is the only bass channel i have subscribed to! Epic!!
Thank you!
Killer man! I've been on a big Megadeth kick so this cover hit the spot. Absolutely perfect cover, love all the subtleties of this bass line that Ellefson threw in. Hes a master at his craft, one of my favorite bassists.
Very impressed sir. I usually see you playing with fingers, and there's definitely nothing wrong with that, but to see you play just as well with a pick, major respect.
Killer tune, killer cover, Nice work!
amazing basss cover bruh you killing it
Such an awesome song, thanks for covering one of my favorites
Awesome as always Kello, thanks!
Dude this was a phenomenal job! David Ellefson would agree if he saw this! Cheers bro!
Just masteclass in bass playing. That song is a realy REEEEAAAALY hard. Reminds me that I must work on my playing with a pick. Stay awesome.
maybe cover flying whales from gojira?
THIS!!!
FUCK YEAH!!!
Anything from Gojira will do!
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SONG! And I was thinking: Wow, a pick! finally someone who gets it! When then I read your comment. Hugs from Chile!
Wow! You are just as good with a pick. Really impressive!!
Amazing tone and cover!
My head is spinning right now. I think only lead was missing on it, rest everything else was covered spotlessly. hats off
I always think its even harder doing those riffs on a bass guitar, you are a fucking beast 🤘
FLAWLESS VICTORY
Man, that is awesome brother!!
Amazing job with the bass!! You have a really precise hand.
The Dawn Patrol jam at the end was a nice touch 🤘
You are very prolific with your covers :) I love listening to them and I love seeing people with passion!
Also, Dawn Patrol at the end ;D
thank you sooooo much for your covers. just so you know, you are an absolute inspiration to the world
Thanks a lot for your words. Im happy these videos help in any way 👊🏻

At last! I had been for this one for a long time. Well done.
Flawless
That was AWESOME! Shout out from Chicago!!
Excellent cover, love the tone on this one, just the right amount of clank while still holding the bottom end. :)
Thanks! 🤘🏻
The intro kills me. (I’m not kidding I’m dying)
Bass difficulty levels:
- Easy
- Medium
- Hard
- Even Kello needs a pick
In all honesty, I didn't even think you _owned_ a pick.
I have a jar full of picks. First time I took one out of it 🙈
Nice to know the folks in Guadalajara know how to shred!
Brilliant!
Really captured Dave Jr's playing style and tone!
Killer killer tone!
Impecable...
Excellent right hand technique!
Maestro !! saludos y gracias por deleitarnos.
Muchas gracias
You are just insane 🤘 Greetings from Canada
Thanks a lot 🤘🏻
Absolute quality cover mate :)

Mis más grandes respetos para el señor kello González un gran bajista rifado en los covers

Amazing! OMG!
Phat heavy clean bass. Mint quality bass and great tone
Holy Sh#t! 🤟😆 best tone and cover.
I do love watch metalhead Keanu Reeves, especially when playing one of my favorite bands
That song looks really hard!
It can get tricky indeed 👊🏻
