To the people saying he's overplaying: yes. You are correct, he is. And that's sorta the point of this kind of video - he's literally "playing" with the song, using it as an outlet for fun and creativity. This is not a bad thing. Would I play this busy and all-over-the-place onstage at my church if we were doing this song? Of course not. But it's completely fine to do so in the context of a TH-cam video. Go look up the bass cover of this song from Justin Raines, the actual current bass player for Israel Houghton - he does the same thing, intricate licks everywhere and throwing soloistic runs in where the original song has dead spots. That's a whole style of instrumental covers on TH-cam, and this kid is right in that zone. His sense of tastefulness will develop with time, but he's allowed to have fun.
I gotta agree with the “too busy” part. I understand showing riffs and skill and there is nothing wrong with that, but many of the riffs and runs were over parts that were out of place. Even in videos like this if you’re filling it up, less is still more. Sounded very good nonetheless, just didn’t need as much in certain places.

another kid inspired me to stop playing bass haha
Too busy. True the original bass player was also riffing a lot. His fit better and didn’t run over the other parts.
too much
Overplaying
It's a cover bro, are you jealous?
Stupid statement. That’s the whole point.
It's a cover dude, what's the point if he will just follow the basics it won't be a cover anymore
Just admit that you're jealous of him playing that good there's no other reason
To be a good bass player u must know the basics. Overplaying is a bad habit
so funny ^^
But you best!!!
