@@CyFr Won't find one in Canada lol, but I love this suggestion. A drummer on drumeo just released a first time heard/play of the song "Limelight" without hearing Neils original
Its kinda crazy that in the 70's a prog tune could easily be a chart hit and now we have adds on your channel offering programs of how to jigsaw together/drag and drop "beats/chord progressions" (without even knowing how to play an instrument )the same simplistic pop crap that been heard a million times before
now let all 4 musicians come together: One who didnt hear bass, one who didnt hear drums, one who didnt hear guitar and a singer and lets see what we get.
Not only a killer bassist, he also seems like a guy everyone likes to play with. AND he listens to the arrangement before he shreds around. True professional.
awesome. love this series, the only note i could offer is please put the bassist's name in the title. i get that charlie puth is there for the clickbait, but "charlie puth's bassist Philip Chuah" would work just as well
Agree 100%. Some of us searched the interwebs thinking his name was Charle Puth until we heard Ian say "Philip". Otherwise, really love these videos... so much insight.
@@devinebass Waitasecond... what's this? A whole PLAYLIST I didn't see? I've only seen two of these, and there's 7 of them!!! That's IT!!! I'm bingewatching the LOT!

The album was recorded live in studio so you can hear some bleed from the other instruments coming in from the drum mics especially. Tom wasn't happy with one of the solos so in one of the songs you can hear the "original" solo faintly in the background. I don't remember which song from the top of my head. :(
@@thlom Ohg soo cool. I love these "raw" sounds and tone. Most of the productions now are way overproduced, and sounds to "clean", to "fake". I love a good recording of course, but with the texture of the original instruments.
I've watched all of these videos and I have come to the conclusion that I have to do this with my friends. It is totally a great exercise to understand not only your own music style, but getting used to breaking down and understanding music on a deeper level. Plus, a great way to share amazing songs.
So fun! Philip's take was really inspired, immediately capturing the spirit of the song while coming up with some fun new spins on it. And then the appreciation for the original track, pointing out some things that make it great was really insightful as well.
I didn‘t know Philip until now, thank you so much for making us discover this incredible musician. His touch and approach are impressive, so inspiring ! There are some great patterns from asian pop / rock music in it. And these bass fills 😱
When the 1st Rage album came out I locked myself in my bedroom and didn't come out till I could play it front to back. A band I was in back in the mid 90s we did the whole 1st album for a set one night at a local Philly bar except we did Killing in the Name after Freedom. When that d rings out at the end we would flow directly into Killing
Awesome video! In a weird coincidence, I was just playing this song earlier today, after not playing it for maybe 20 years or so. It still goes so hard
RATM one of the all time best bands IMO. Old enough to have listened to them from the beginning and one of the very few bands who can still be listened to and enjoyed just as much decades on up there with Tool and the late great Bob Marley.
I this is the first complete song I learned after I bought my first bass. Absolutely killer riff, groove, and lyrics. Also, one of the best guitar solos ever.
I'm a music lover but not musically inclined, but I just love hearing people geek out over their music and to be able to pick out the brand of instrument they're using just from the sound/tone
Eye rolling at all the people not believing or even refusing to watch this video because he hasn't heard this song before. Not everyone has heard of every song. This series started with Drumeo and you have people who have never even heard some mainstream pop songs that play on malls or the radio. I don't get all offended when the drummer has never heard of Toxic by Britney Spears, I just enjoy the video and enjoy an artist showcasing their talent.
We all live in the same reality. Whether you consciously hear these songs or subliminally you hear them. I’ve never listen to any Britney Spears songs but I’ve heard them 100s of times In public.
it's about time a channel did this with bass, also someone need to do this for guitars, perfecto proof of concept and gotta give propr to drumeo for coming up with the idea
Yeah, it was Maynerd that did the guest vocals on this track, but originally it was supposed to be Perry from Janes Addiction do it, but he couldn't make it to the studio that day, and Tool just happened to be down the hall recording, so they asked Maynerd to step in and do it.
@14:20 It's neither the Guvnor nor Rat distortion. Tim uses his own custom unlabelled distortion stomp box. He did a rig rundown with Premier Guitar some years ago
It definitely WAS the Guv'nor on their s/t debut. He started using his own distortion (former Wah-Wah, according to him at least) pedal when he swapped out his whole rig and started using Ampegs between 1994 and the Evil Empire recording. I'm using the Guv'nor with my RATM Tribute and it is 100% the character of his distortion sound on that record. The s/t album, that is.
Not sure why everyone thinks it’s unbelievable for him not to have heard this song. He knew it was RAtM but besides rock fans this is probably isn’t something he normally would listen to.
@@flightgravity7483 Especially when it was out before he was born. Wonder if they know many, let alone the entire collection of, songs by an artist big before they were born :P
@@johnsilver8059 Heh, I was born in 1978, been playing bass since 1990 in a far bigger range of bands and styles than most people, including a fair bit in the style of this song... I don't think I've heard Spanish Moon somehow, even though from the listen of half the song I've heard, it's definitely interesting to me. Thanks for the rabbit hole to explore :)
I love these videos, Drumeo does something similar for drummers. Ian, will you do a video of the 10 heaviest riffs for bass? including Dr. Feelgood, your version is the best ever.
Love it! He not only nailed the part, he actually got the attack right too! Most people I've seen cover Rage bass lines play a bit more gently, but Tim slams those strings, you gotta power the fingers through the string to get the right sound 😍
I was about to say that nobody should call themselves a bassist when they don't know Tim Commerford, but I actually liked this guy and his look on this amazing song. Nice job!
Really love these videos, makes me think of drumeo's first time hearing/playing. Coming from a 20+ year drummer and a newbie bass player. This channel is so great, always awesome content
Props to Philips for his restraint. Good call to follow the guitar, and he is one of the few musicians to catch where he should be silent. Great musician aside from being a great bassist
1:33 “The mix”, well that album was recorded live in the studio, actually with a few crowd in the set. That is an amazing thing about that album’s sound.
God he's good... could closely identify the type of drive pedal after a brief listen, automatically put his right hand over the string position where a MM pickup has its neck pole pieces for that particular harmonic content this song needs, dug in plenty hard to get some grind, not to mention his harmonic memory of the piece while talking about it.
Absolutely LOVE Philip’s playing!! Saw him twice at Charlie Puth shows and talked to him outside of the venue after the show. Such an awesome guy, super talented and just a huge inspiration all around!
Philip made a very good job on the song! Above all, that Anakin Skywalker Youngling slayer lightsaber hilt behind Ian on the shelf made me smile. :D luv it!
1:38 absurdly great ear, as a professional mixing engineer is so surreal hear these type of comments and so so so spot on, especially when you know that this record was recorded live in a room.
Great Ep!!! It’s so hard to think there can be any choices better then what Tim plays, but man this dude had a great crack at it and had some cool choices.
I really like this vid! I could never come up with the bassline as fast as he can and remember it all. Hats off for that. But with a bit of practise i can play about as well as his take. I know he would smash the song with a bit of practise but i think this is good and im happy im kinda there!
@philipchuah5368 if that's your actual TH-cam account, please upload more of your Bassline routines and playthroughs. Glad you enjoyed rocking through Tim's Stingray Tone and goodluck on your musical journey! 😄🤘
This format concept is awesome. would love to see a bassist play some basslines blind from Zutomayo written by Ryosuke Nikamoto, would be incredible to see the reaction after the bassist's take!
I had no idea that scream was Maynard until he asked do you know who was singing in that section and it just clicked before he revealed it was Maynard. Heard this song hundreds of times before and never even thought that it wasn’t Zack.
Great stuff y’all! I really loved how much Charlie was thinking about the whole mix and the bass’s place in the mix. It’s clear there’s a lot of wisdom here gained from a lot of experience! 👏👏👏
Love that he instantly recognised that he should double the riff. I always forget how monstrous Tim's sound is until i hear someone else play his stuff 😂

Put the guy's name in the title.
At least a hashtag or something in the meta
disrespect to get more clicks is just too common with content creators these days
thinking the same thing
His name isn't Charlie puth bassist?
To be fair, if it has his name and not Charlie Puth, it would probably get less views...
now let all 4 musicians come together: One who didnt hear bass, one who didnt hear drums, one who didnt hear guitar and a singer and lets see what we get.
That would be phenomenal! 👍
Million dollar idea right there
That's actually a great idea and I want YT music channels to make it a trend and exploit it till we get tired of it. It's an evergreen idea.
Even just the musicians with the vocal track isolated would be incredible
Best idea ever!!!
13:57 that's the correct face you should make while listening to that part of the song. 10/10
I loved it so much... I get every time chills on my whole body!! Love that bass sound sooooooooo much 🤘🏻😎
Boost always helps
I've been waiting that face for the whole video
Not only a killer bassist, he also seems like a guy everyone likes to play with. AND he listens to the arrangement before he shreds around. True professional.
Philip out here schooling me on bass AND TH-cam hot keys
The day I learned about J, K and L in addition to the arrow keys changed my life.
Thanks for having me Ian!
Out here operating TH-cam like a DAW lol
J, K, L work the same as the arrows. Another layer is that , and . go forwards or backwards a single frame. I don't know any more shortcuts

“Rage” did it for me. I’ve no effing idea who Charlie Puth is
Ironically, I have no idea who Charlie Puth is; I clicked because it’s SBL and because it’s a Rage song.

💯💯💯
His name is "Charlie Puth Bassist"
What a smart bassist. I’ll let the kick and snare dictate and I will bring my sound down. Something a guitarists never said.
These are so cool! So glad he gave credit to Tim’s MASSIVE stingray tone! It’s one of the best stingray tones in history
HOT TAKE: Tim's evil Empire Jazz bass tone hits much harder
Both legendary though
Phil, you really killed it harder than anyone else doing these challenges. That tone man.....holy crap you sound good.
Dude is actually fading out his own volume in real time 8:52 what a legend
That tone is next level 🔥

How would you take the bass guitar layer out if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love to do this too but don’t know how.

he wasn't even born yet in '92 and its not like this track is all that ubiquitous. i believe it.

I had to laugh in excitement because I envied him experiencing the FAT bass tone during the solo bass section for the first time!
This song will always have one of my favourite bass line from Tim, it's so fucking badass and one reason why I will always love my Music Man StingRay
Really good episode. Great guest who is very knowledgeable and skilled.
Mr. Commerford is finally getting well deserved respect and appreciation.
I am pretty sure we all made the same face at 13:56 what an epic bass line
Love these videos. So interesting to see someone write a part to a song and see what choices they make and why
That was amazing. Phillip deserves his name in the title though. 🎶“Come On!!!” 🎵🎸🎶
Philip Chuah!
Great playing buddy!

What s gem of a guy. Great talent too. Will remember his name. Philip Chuah
One of the few albums in which EVERY track is amazing!

Playing that verse riff brings the "face" out of everyone involved. Drums, bass, guitar and vocals. 😂

Best RATM song !! He nailed it. OUCH ! Very impressive artist. The tone, the voids, all the essence of the original vibes. Almost perfect !!!
Bro nailed it imo...also I'd love to hear Mr Puth do a cover of this it would be awesome to see his take
That's a man that loves music, playing with joy!
Love that he instantly recognised that he should double the riff. I always forget how monstrous Tim's sound is until i hear someone else play his stuff 😂
