@@CerealKillerPT Jason joined Metallica in '86, during the Master of Puppets tour right after Cliff's death. He was there for the whole writing recording process. Also, how could the album be written without him if quite a few things were written BY him? You're probably thinking of Rob, who joined them after St.Anger was already done.
I've been playing bass for about 15 years or so and one thing that blew me away was after playing just the bass for so long my nephew talked me into getting a classical guitar. The strings are super easy to play on and the nylon won't cut into your fingers like a steel string will so you can play them longer and also the fret board is about the same width almost as a 4 string. Playing on my classical I could better come up with new riffs and solos. SO I would take what I did on the classical and apply it to my bass and it actually really helped out. You could try going that route. My La Patie' Etude was like $300 and came with a case, though you can expect to pay about that at a music store.
If Jason played what I think he played, then Dyer's Eve is the hardest Metallica tune on bass. It's so fast that I rate it harder than the guitaristic bass solo in Orion and Battery but I'm not including Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth)
Thats the point, your precision is not human. Usually i play with pick myself and dont like fingerstyle that much due to some different „aggression“ in its sound, but your fingers man....wow. I really LOVE your sound
Jeremy Ladue Lars intentionally had the bass tracks lowered to "get a good drum sound", but really I think it was just to have a jab at Jason who he viewed as "the new guy".
I think the lowered bass kind of symbolizes that they miss cliff and in his memory , made it look like the next album was bassless i.e. Without any bass because no Cliff
@@forbiddenyasuo6386 To metalheads. I am saying that hits are songs that had videos and/or were played on the radio when the song comes out. 'One' was the only hit off the album.
No wonder they turned this way down. This just follows the guitar lines. Zero composition skills from Jason unfortunately. Compare this to the bass lines of "The Call of Ktulu"...... -THAT was composed by a genius.
Amazing how much better this song sounds with bass. No matter how many excuses I hear from Lars and everyone else involved with the “Justice” album, I just can’t accept how Newstead’s playing was marginalized (pretty much erased).
hermano que tal. muchas felicidades por este buen video. pregunta tecnica...? que bajo estas usando? suena muy bien y esteticamente se ve muy bien. aqui te dejo mi video para que lo critiques. saludos y mucha suerte...th-cam.com/video/wav6PBQG0aA/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking of starting bass. I couldn't do this though, as I would fall asleep listening to AJFA, haha. It's really nice to hear you play in sync over the recording. Kudos!
Enjoyed your videos. Subscribed! What bass are you playing? It looks like an Alembic emblem on the headstock. What are you recording through? Great tone.
Has Lars called you to ask you to reduce the sound of your bass to the minimum possible? Thank you for this cover, AJFA sounds perfect when bass is "added".
God bless you.. I was going to listen the entire album.. I'd started with the one and dammit I was very very disappointed About the lack of bass frequencies, really annoying..so I went on TH-cam and found this wonderful and satisfying cover.. Thanks man!
For anyone wondering how to get this tone, a really large part of it is new strings (roundwounds, preferably steel). They have a lot of twang (if that's a word) and have a metallic sound. Besides that, I would probably boost the mids/treble, and cut the bass a bit so it doesn't muddy up the mix. I've also heard that people can get an aggressive tone like this with a Sansamp DI.
Jason said that he played a Steinberger headless bass on the "Justice" sessions, so this Alembic is actually a good soundalike since they both have that metallic piano like quality to their sound.
This is awesome! Love the tone and the precision. I'm a guitarist, and I'd love to do a collaboration video :) I got some videos of my own that you can watch before you respond. Keep rocking!
Kello ... did a damn good job on this one and still watching others you did on Metallica ... just wondering are you going to cover any of the garage inc album ... favorite song off of there is the wait and sabbra carbba ( Black Sabbath ) which is also on garage inc album .. Keep rockin Metal
I don’t know if you will see this on such an old video but if you do… Are the strings really close together on the Alembics? In this video and on very picture I see of them they look like they are closer together than say a fender. Is it just my eyes? You are an incredible bassist. Love your stuff
If they had just mixed the bass right, AJFA seriously could have been the GOAT metal album. So sad. We can only hope that one day they remaster it and turn the bass up. Great cover!
The main problem with this album is that the bass follows the rhythm guitars too closely, even the standard CD basses out because the mastering wasn't done on a high quality board. I love ..And Justice for all how it is, I'll never accept bass added variants into my heart.
KELLO ERES UN CABRON QUE CHINGON LA TOCAS, es increible que esta rola te haya motivado para ser un bajista ya que and justice for all es un disco donde no se distingue para nada el bajo, puro bu bu es lo que se oye
Why do you frequently move up the neck during rests/ open E passages? I ask because I find myself doing that too, not sure where I picked it up, I think it was probably some affectation I thought looked cool when I was first starting to play, probably saw Cliff doing it or something. Any idea where you picked it up?
20 peoples whos dosent anything of bass sound, players and techins, 20 idiots jaja. Man you are god, some green day stuff example: "pánic song"? You must should listend that song man.
Why were the only cool members of Mentalidorks the bass players? I can't say that about the little guy with the skinny strings because I don't think he's aloud to speak. Yet I'm watching, and you rock!
Ni Jason no podria haberlo mejorado!!! Ups ,es verdad no lo hizo,NUNCA. Bromas a parte deberias de hacerlo con el And Justice... entero , seria una pasada escuchar ese disco con un Bajista Verdadero, no uno de pega, que ni tan siquiera le mezclaron la pista que grabo
Would love to hear the rest of the And Justice For All album played by you, since it seems Metallica forgot to invite Jason to the official recording sessions the first time around. With the bass up in the mix and sounding punchy as hell, this is how Metallica should've recorded and mixed the bass for that album!
wonder what it would sound like a half octave higher in some spots? Maybe a tweeter and a little more crisp treble tune on the E string if it's not the standard eadg. Really nice finger work and as it is I can't turn this up enough ha ha ha
Isn't it great when you can use the studio version of this song as backing track?
I see what you did there
Sad but true... I really hate Metallica for making bass EXTRA QUIET in Justice. Jason made a great work though
LMAO
@@markkornivskyi4101 it was the "Angry Midget Drummer" aka "I want people to think I'm Billy Joel "..
@@pensnut08 Jason got back at Lars by replacing his snare with a metal folding chair on Death Magdrumtone !!!!!!
I have to admit, I half expected you to just stay there and play nothing.
Damn, nope he slayed it! But thar was FUNNY!
*Justice for Jason*
Blackened has a very audible bass line. But I get it ;)
Lame
This joke is 32 years old, I think it's time to move on...
The greatest guitar riff ever written by a bass player.
👊🏻
Anesthesia Pulling Teeth - Cliff Burton solo will always be greater!
@@kevincoolum3680he’s talking about guitar riffs, not songs in general
Great tone man, almost like Jason's! Your technique and playing style is precise and consistent. Extremely underrated here on TH-cam...
Jason appear after this album was done...
@@CerealKillerPT You've never heard his isolated tracks, didn't you?
@@lred1383 yes i heard... even i played that imaginary bass line as he would play. But im saying when Jason appear, that album was done

@@lred1383 ok Jason in 1986... and why dont listen bass line in that album?
You played it wrong I can hear the bass
Okay your joke sucks, because there is a soft bass in ajfa and if you cant hear the bass then its your problem
Metalhead Nice try Lars
@@folder2392 I always knew Lars was a weeb.
You hear the music, but you feel the bass🤘
@@tuesdaysgone77 Hahaha. Lars fake account
Move out Robert Trujillo; we need you in Infectious Grooves,,,, Kello is the bass player for Metallica, lets do a petition to Lars and James
Man imagine if the real bass was this audible
There’s a remastered version called and Justice for Jason . You can find it on YT and you can hear Jason very clearly.
Shallex it works for so many bands lol. Would definitely work for Metallica.
@@darkstar4494 it's not really Jason though, I believe the original mixtapes are lost. It's another guy playing some transcribed Jason's parts.
@@pierfrancescosechi9804 oh that’s interesting. Hmm. Well that guy is a good bass player
Wait...
....there was a bass in Justice for All?
It lives in our hearts :)
Nick Whitehead, and justice for all could be released with out guitar tracks and be awesome any way
just search for the Remaster in TH-cam
Nobody ever made this joke before

@@arthurfranklin9315 th-cam.com/video/NqbNELz0bG4/w-d-xo.html
Yep, that's about right. I'm a fingerstyle guy influenced more by Cliff but I always aim to play thrash as tight and fast as Dyer's Eve.
Love the fu*king 3-finger gallop on "Blackened is the end!" (chorus). Well done, mate!
It sounds so much better with a powerfull bass tone!! Amazing cover
Thanks 🤘🏻🤩🤘🏻
Beautiful cover, played with all the feel and soul, but never missing the precision.
Thanks!
Thats the point, your precision is not human. Usually i play with pick myself and dont like fingerstyle that much due to some different „aggression“ in its sound, but your fingers man....wow. I really LOVE your sound
@@kellogcwatch this bro,
I just dropped a comment on this video about Newsted that’s sure to bring a huge argument.🤣
He brought Justice to Jason.
Such great bass play on "And Justice For All" and you can't hear a damn thing of it!
That´s what I wanted to hear when I listen to "And Justice for all". You have finally added the fucking bass to the song.
nailed it again..im subscribing to your channel man, you have the best covers on youtube, tone is spot on, fingerstyle rocks, really awesome \m/
Thanks!
If only on AJFA you could actually hear the bass
Brohann Sebastian Bach it wasn't recorded right, idk why they never fixed that
Jeremy Ladue Lars intentionally had the bass tracks lowered to "get a good drum sound", but really I think it was just to have a jab at Jason who he viewed as "the new guy".
Yea, I heard something like that, just wasn't sure, cliff was better though hands down, shit, he died 4 months after I was born, lmao
I think the lowered bass kind of symbolizes that they miss cliff and in his memory , made it look like the next album was bassless i.e. Without any bass because no Cliff
Ahdy Khairat makes excellent remasters of Metallica songs
Coming from a fellow bass player....absolutley wicked job brother.i love taking pick style songs and playing them with the fingers...good job.
I wish I could purchase this version on CD. Can you imagine how pissed Lars would get, though? 🤣 Sounds so much better.
If you could just go ahead and do all of ....justice for us, that'd be appreciated.
So THAT'S what the bass sounds like in this song...
Вот это шикарно!Очень красиво,совсем другое дело!Это была ошибка задвинуть бас на альбоме.
Metallica - "Blackened" (Bass Cover): 6 minutes of silence. :D 32 dislikes are from Lars
Maestrazo del bajo!! Ejecución, precisión, sonido, técnica. MASTER!
how did you get that tone on your bass?
Wizardry.
but how? used some distortion pedal or something? lol
+BlackJaguarGX64 sansamp BDDI
Some Amps have the "attack" intensity button wich makes that metallic chord sound, if thats what you are talking about...
he couldve used a petal or something to either distort or add extra power but idk Im not a bass player lmao
This and Leper Messiah are my two favorite non-hits from Metallica.
Blackened is pretty popular aint it tho
@@forbiddenyasuo6386 To metalheads. I am saying that hits are songs that had videos and/or were played on the radio when the song comes out. 'One' was the only hit off the album.

Turn the drums down to barely audible, turn up the BASS!! How AJFA should have sounded! Kick ass job brotha!
wow your fingers are awesome :D
Antti Villanen that's what she said
This adds a ton of GIRTH to the song. Amazing tone.

Fucking criminal you can’t hear this on the actual album(at least as clear as this)
It would have been nice to have more bass. Most Metal album would benefit from more predominant bass in my opinion 🤙🏻
I was thinking of starting bass. I couldn't do this though, as I would fall asleep listening to AJFA, haha. It's really nice to hear you play in sync over the recording. Kudos!
Thank you 👊🏻
This cover is so great that I can't even find the words :D Huge respect!
That tone! Im happy Im switched from guitar to bass... shredding is not as fun as they want you to believe 😎
So that’s what Jason’s part would’ve sounded like we’re it not for Lars.😑
Enjoyed your videos. Subscribed! What bass are you playing? It looks like an Alembic emblem on the headstock. What are you recording through? Great tone.
Thank you! It is an Alembic Elan
While watching this video James fell off the wagon and Lars fell off his stool
Damn bro you fucking nailed! Nice fucking job.
Awesome
please cover Sanitarium or The frayed ends of sanity
Has Lars called you to ask you to reduce the sound of your bass to the minimum possible?
Thank you for this cover, AJFA sounds perfect when bass is "added".
hey guys? did you know Justice album has no bass? After 50 comments pointing it out, just wanted to make sure
you've spoiled me lol, hard to listen to the studio version now
God bless you.. I was going to listen the entire album.. I'd started with the one and dammit I was very very disappointed About the lack of bass frequencies, really annoying..so I went on TH-cam and found this wonderful and satisfying cover.. Thanks man!
Kello, you should've auditioned for Metallica, you deserve to be there instead of Trujillo....Viva Mexico

🤘🏻⚡️🤘🏻
This whole album is bass masterpiece.
Look man, I am no homo, I like girls...but the way u play that fuckin' bass makes me change my mind everytime, u are just too much
:)
I thought I was gonna hear nothing

Metallica would have sounded a lot better w some bass mixed in
Hi man, Great cover! What type of bass is that?
Horrible cover. There is no bass in AJFA. Dislike.
Loved the tone man. Whats your setup like?
I want this tone so bad. Can you share what you're using?

That's a great tone you have. That's an Alembic Elan, but what is your head and cab?
I used an Aguilar AG500 amp and DB410 cab
Fuck 😈👊 the sound is incredible 👏👏

I haven’t measured the string separation but this bass on particular does have the strings a little closer, plus it is scale 32.
@@kellogc awesome! Thank you for taking the time and replying!
Now,this IS the shit i'm talking about! hahaha
Y se hizo justicia para el bajo como debiò de ser desde un principio lml
Has Lars called you yet asking to lower the bass sound to the minimum?
I’m sure Mrs Gonzalez is grateful for that right hand technique from time to time, but wouldn’t this be better played with a pick/plectrum?...
that's how it would sound if cliff had played it
that is a great song now that the bass can be heard...lol
ear candy! this sounded so good in my headphones. omg the tone.
Thank you 👊🏻
HammerFall's vocalist Joakim plays bass?
back in the day I had a copy of AJFA and thought it was the bad copy technique of my class mate ....
REALLY !!
Now I know it was

Thinking of doing a bass cover of this song with my Dean Razorback bass with a 35inch neck profile
Awesome cover man! I wasn’t aware there was any bass on ... And Justice for All? Must have slipped over my amateurish head.
I love your videos you always nail it..but please change the background effect you always use in your videos it’s a little distracting
You hear this and you come to one conclusion- Lars is the worst thing to happen to Metallica. And he never shuts up.
Great bass playing!
Would love to hear the rest of the And Justice For All album played by you, since it seems Metallica forgot to invite Jason to the official recording sessions the first time around. With the bass up in the mix and sounding punchy as hell, this is how Metallica should've recorded and mixed the bass for that album!
wonder what it would sound like a half octave higher in some spots? Maybe a tweeter and a little more crisp treble tune on the E string if it's not the standard eadg. Really nice finger work and as it is I can't turn this up enough ha ha ha
This was close but to get the real sound from And Justice For All you have to turn your amp to zero. Just ask Lars...
