Ian Hill was apparently not doing well during the Painkiller sessions so he would only get a few bass parts down before he would leave and so Don Airey came in and played synth on the album and combined it with the bits that Hill had already done.
don't think it had anything to do with Ian Hill's health, it was a production decision by Chris Tsangarides and the band... to mix Ian's bass playing with Don Airey's keyboards bass playing. Chris Tsangarides had already used this recording technique in previous albums.
@@ais6863 "Scott Travis has spilled the beans about it that all the bass parts are me playing on the mini," he said. "It’s Moog bass on the whole album, that was Ian Hill’s bass mixed in as well on parts. But at the time Ian wasn’t very well. So, he wasn’t at the sessions. So, I got made to do all the bass and they kept it."
I never realized how "perfect" the bass sounds isolated. I always had the feeling this was a MIDI bass. There is always pickup noise, pick hitting the pickups, strings bouncing off frets. But there isn't any of that noise here. And then it wasn't until I read the comments that this was in fact edited.
Fun fact: the Bass is Don Airey on a minimoog for the Painkiller album due to Ian Hill having personal/health issues at the time. You can tell it's not an electric bass.

bass is so buried in the mix on Painkiller and the Ram it down albums that they are inaudible, Jason Newstead and Ian Hill might need to start a Bass player support group
@@RockoEstalon I think it was also a keyboard/midi effect rather than an actual Bass guitar, I've read that Ian wasn't well during the recording of the album
I love working each foot individually in the slower double bass parts. (verse's) I met Scott in Baltimore at Hammerjacks was still active. He was there with Fight. I san him walking around before their set .He shook my hand said whats up looked around to the packed house and said.."This is gonna be pretty cool. Glad you made it from Pennsylvania" And then walked on..lol.it was one of my highlights seeing shows.. Ive been a huge fan of his style since his X days and he still is and always will be a beast of a drummer huge influence.. Thanks for this masterpiece.. I first heard Judas Priest when i was in 5th grade 1980 British Steel and I was like hole listen to this and that bass and drums..!!..Ian Hill is a master at his trade! And any drummers dream when it comes to truly adding balls to the backbone of metal!. I love this version so much again thank you to all those responsible for this masterpiece..sorry for babbling just had to share that..
I looked for this video after reading a recent article where Don Airey said he played most of the bass on this album. It's a mini moog bass synth. I always knew that it was rumored that Don played the keyboards on this album but it seems that he did most of the (synth) bass as well.

It's Don Airey on a moog, not Ian.
@@raynefaded it's actually both, mixed together

Ian Hill has his own signature basses, Scott is one of the worlds best metal drummers. And they both are just Great..!

Man, these two really have a great chemistry and pocket.
These guys are like a Swiss watch.

Interesting coincidence, ...And Justice and Painkiller are best albums in history.
Ian Hill did not played in Painkiller.

@@denmalski Oh yeah it's all over the comment section, though if you have a good ear you can notice it's a keyboard sample.

yoir comment hasn't aged well since it's known now that Ian Hill didn't play bass in the album
@@juansalas2882 excuse me for my ignorance

Masterpiece ever. Great
To me it sounds great. Thanks for uploading☺
Now I can play the guitar along with this track🤘
Wow! What a great video! Best Danny rhythm section! Thank you so much for this! JP rocks!👍🤘
IAN HILL AND SCOTT TRAVIS, IS A GREAT COMBINATION OF HEAVY METAL. JUST LOVE ❤ THE GUYS. JUDAS PRIEST RULES.
So good...
Ian Hill 💪👈
Sounds like midi bass lol \m/
@@Maniac618 This just in: it's actually Moog synth played by Don Airey.
Moog Hill
This sounds like a doom level
Sehr gut das mal so zu hören
These are amazing drum and bass isolations from Judas Priest. How about some older ones from the 70's? Victim of Changes? Saints in Hell? Tyrant? :-)
Oh man. I thought it was real bass. I guess now that I'm hearing it after reading the comments it does sound midi. All the notes have the same attack.
it's supposedly a mix of real bass and midi bass.
Amazing! Do you have Tyrant or Run of the Mill isolated bass/drum?
It's not Ian Hill who play the bass on that album, it's Don Airey
2:40
Don Airey
Man how tall is Scott?
1.93, he's tall
@@adrianaguilar6347 6' 4" .
Bass ?????....maybe keybors
Keybass
🤘🏻🔥
Hate to say it, but that bass sounds too even and synth like.
You're right...bass was played by Don Airey on a Moog Synth
