Mike Starr was underrated despite being a very prominent sound in that band. Without him they would not have sounded so good but his choice of Bass lines coupled with Jerry's chord choices made that three piece sound huge and full. \m/ RIP!
Underrated? Nah he got enough recognition enough for that time. He's underrated to you because of your recent discovery of him and the band as of late.. In YOUR GENERATION. Yeah sucks you simply did not exist when this song came out. Your comment clearly reflects your current generation of COPY and PASTE.
@@jt.8144 What? Why so aggressive? I was there, a bass player and huge AIC fan. No one mentioned mike hardly ever unless they loved the spector or were a chick fan.
Just about the best cover I've seen. Those running walking lines in the prechorus on the 2nd and 3rd time with all the triplets are what Mike does. Some (most) covers dont do those little nuances. Great job
So interesting, I never heard the bass do the part under "won't you come and save me?" It's cool listening to you cover this stuff and having the bass so much more prominent than in the original mixes of the songs.
It's a typical blues run, fits what Jerry plays (a Chuck Berry power chord) perfectly. The only shame is that you can't really hear it distinctly, but somehow you perceive its feel.
Mike Starr and Alice in chains. There are only a few bands that have such a charisma and chemistry you just cant put into words. Mike Starr was a king. God bless him.
Dude, I was just thinking the same… Since you brought it up. Are we ever going to collectively get our heads together and take back our autonomy and free will ?
I like that "swing" groove you throw onto the chorus section especially, never heard it played like that before on bass but it makes it groove way harder! Cheers
Gotta take a moment to appreciate you my boy been watching for as long as I can remember you are definitely one of the greats both covering and with your own music. As a bass player myself you are definitely an inspiration I only hope to be half as good when I’ve been playing as long as you have. Keep it up my boy you are definitely going places!!!!
Thanks a lot. I appreciate your kind words and taking the time to continue watching these videos. I hope they help in any way. You can be even better, just continue playing bass and striving to become a better musician 🤘🏻
Watching you play has been the single greatest lesson in my learning bass. I'm just beginning again after 30 years of frustration and torment. Your Tool videos inspired me to buy some new strings and knock the dust off my old fender jazz after 3 decades of neglected storage. I just actually played along with this video after a year of watching your smooth talented style , I'm in awe , I just actually played this awesome song along with you ,,, and I kind of almost sounded ok doing it. Thank you so much Kello , I've dreamed of doing this since Fender Americans were affordable. And getting to play AiC material makes me feel very encouraged You're awesome Kello, thanks so much man!.
great cover, great songs. an iconic song by the band, I have been 3 times on the concerts where they played as a support and there was always this song.
@@kellogc The whole evening we're listening to you bro (with beer in our hand, and pálinka in our head 🤣😅), you have a fuckin' great taste of music! My best friend said : Who loves Pantera, never can be a bad guy!!, Absolutely agreed!! 😊👍🏻🤘
@@kellogc And they all hate the 'Tallica from the Black album ("boring shit"), but as you play the white album's bass lines gives right to Jason too. I liked Newsted very much in Metallica. He was treated like a piace of a sh.... So , enough said. That was realy not nice.
Alright Kello, this was so impeccable, time to cover the entire Alice unplugged album! 🤘🏾🙏🏾😎 Feel like you brought a little Jack Bruce into the bassline, almost!
I always wondered why Mike Starr played the walking bass part during the pre chorus all on the E string instead of playing it the way Kello played it in this video?

¡Enorme, Kello! Me molan mucho tus vídeos. Incluso has hecho que me plantee el comprarme un bajo eléctrico y ponerme a practicar jajaja Saludos desde España :)
i’m a guitar player mostly - i’m just now switching over to put in some much needed time and practice into bass…. WHAT KINDA BASS and amp set up is that? that tone is so beefy but the treble is what i love!
Killer tone bro. Ive been trying to nail that tone for a minute. Ive got a Spector ns pulse ii 4 a hartke lh1000 and hartke hydrive 4x10 cab. I recently read that Mike Inez uses a sansamp bass driver which im thinking about grabbing if necessary. What amp are you using and eq settings ? Are you using a drive pedal like a sansamp bass driver ? You are nailing that tone perfectly that ive been after for years lol the holy grail lol. Please 🙏 help a brotha 🙏 out. I would be eternally grateful
Loved it! Unfortunately lose or change a member of a band and you change the dynamic of the sound and music whether good or bad. He made his mark on those first 2 albums. Such a profound band that will never be the same again.
I don’t really recall the complete details. I did use both pickups full, onboard eq settings flat. The is a big part of the tone for this. I used a Sansamp preamp and Aguilar amp/cab.
Kello, killer cover and sound. Do you recall what amp settings you used? Curious since I have an Ibanez bass with a PJ setup, but I just can’t get in the same ballpark as this
The bass on this album is not buried at all though. Right where it should be, not getting in the way of guitar while adding thick bottom end and extra growl to the sound
I’m using a Line 6 Helix for the recording of this video. Didn’t use an actual amp but an emulated Aguilar DB751. Amp is almost flat. In my chain I do have a Sansamp BDDI preamp that adds some grit to the sound. Also, the Spector NS2 plays a big part on the timbre 🤘🏻
I want to ask you for advice dude. I am a beginner who wants to buy a bass. I'm torn between choosing a 4 or 5 wire instrument, do you think I should care about it now? I'm a 27 year old man and have pretty big hands, I'd like to have versatility, since I listen to many different genres. As for your playing, it's incredible, I won't waste more words. Thank you in advance.
I would start with 4 strings. You can always sell and get a 5er later on once you become more skilled on bass, and only if you do need to go that route 🤘🏻
Mike Starr was underrated despite being a very prominent sound in that band. Without him they would not have sounded so good but his choice of Bass lines coupled with Jerry's chord choices made that three piece sound huge and full. \m/ RIP!
His sound and approach to bass was an integral part on building the AiC sound. 🤘🏻

Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
Always

Awesome work, thank you! I love the little play-throughs you add at the end of your videos.
I do too, it's nice to hear the isolated tone.
Thanks! I’m glad you like that 👊🏻
That't always the cherry on the cake. 😉😅🤟🏻✌
It’s great to see Harvey Keitel killing it on bass lol. Killer tone man!
Thanks!
I need to get a hold of this guy and find out how he's getting one of the meanest tones out of that bass I've ever heard in my life. Great sound.
Thank you! 👊🏻
Que buena línea de bajo, "simple" pero contundente, me quedó claro cómo es, muchas gracias Kello, impecable cover.
Así es amigo! Muchas gracias ☺️
Oh hell yeah, just recently started listening to a bunch of Alice In Chains so this is just awesome
Thanks! 🤘🏻
Every time I see your videos, I get motivated to keep playing bass. You are an amazing bassist man :)
Thanks! I’m glad you are. Keep
It up! The world needs more bass! 👊🏻

Playing higher on the neck on lower strings can help give it more weight and tension. I can see why he’d play it that way. 👊🏻
@@kellogc Makes sense.
That ROCKED.
Thanks! 👊🏻

It is an awesome instrument indeed 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻

This Spector sounds awesome 🙌🏻
Soy un hombre sencillo, si el tito Kello ha subido vídeo, lo veo al instante.
Muchas gracias 🤘🏻
Brabo !!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Sounds good brutha! I see Kello, I see Alice in Chains I CLICK!!!!!!

Buenas Kello estás usando algún pedal en este cover? Suena brutal ese tono, un saludo.
Perfect 👍🏾

Awesome! Is that a Kramer era NS2? You have a killer bass collection! I have been trying to find a late 80's Spector for 2 years.
