Metallica - "Lux Æterna" (Bass Cover)

I was not expecting new Metallica music anytime soon and was very surprised to see they were able to keep it a secret (at this time and age) and catch us all off guard with the news. The new song is pretty awesome. I’m stocked to listen to the rest...
Full speed or nothing!

Thank you Kello! This helped me go from feeling neutral about the song to actually liking it.

Hello frrrrrrriend 🤘

[@kellogc]

It is a great song! Full of energy, it grabs you and doesn’t let go. Stay safe my friend 👊🏻

[@TotoDG]

Which is funny, because you and Kello (among other MetalliTubers) are both responsible for me going from having a neutral opinion on Metallica to them being my favourite band.

[@JBjopa8]

I don't have much musical experience but the first thing I thought when I heard the song was "oh no this album is going to be a new AJFA where we don't get bass" I like this wonderful cover much better than the original. I love your sound so much you never disappoint.

[@WJbass05]

It just amazes me how quickly people have gotten these covers out, incredible as always 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@muriloninja]

Easy basic shit dude...I knew how to play the fucking thing by listening to it the first time. It's stock stuff, nothing special at all.

@@muriloninja Sounds like a Metallica song alright.

[@WJbass05]

@@muriloninja sorry mate didn’t mean to touch a nerve 🤧

[@montauta]

@@muriloninja ok. But nobody creates the song. Copy is easy, create is a little bit complicated.

[@jackshittle]

I wish the bass on the recording sounded like this here 👍

[@kellogc]

👊🏻😉

[@GenX_Dave]

of all the bass covers of this song I’ve seen so far, this is, without a doubt, the best…I believe Robert himself would be impressed

[@kellogc]

Thanks! Much appreciated 👊🏻

[@susragejr477]

Rob better get some killer lines in this new album

[@kellogc]

Let’s hope for it 🤘🏻☺️🤞🏻

[@TheMrMused]

As usual, you've nailed Robert's tone, attack, and cadence! Excellent cover and thoroughly enjoyable!

[@kellogc]

Thank you 👊🏻

[@MichaelEMJAYARE]

Youve got the agility of Trujillo, and the metal essence of Newsted. Love your covers! Now we just need some new Primus to drop…

[@kellogc]

Thank you! Oh yeah! 👊🏻😉🤘🏻

[@DirtyGlove]

The song's harder than it looks and you've got it down so effortlessly. Respect as always.

[@kellogc]

Thank you 👊🏻

[@BrainWasherAttendent]

Wish you could hear the bass on the song

[@XakTerrible]

Hearing the bass on a MetallicA track? 🤣🤣🤣

[@The_Noticer.]

Not if Lars has something to say about it.

[@kellogc]

🤘🏻🙈🤘🏻

[@Hettmar]

Great video as always! But the bassline is incredibly disappointing once again. I really wish Robert will finally get a chance to actually shine someday in Metallica songs.

[@kellogc]

I guess in the end the bassline serves the song. Let’s hope for a more bass driven song that may let Rob shine 👊🏻😊🤞🏻

[@Hettmar]

That's absolutely fair, but with Rob it's kinda like having a Ferrari in your garage and not letting it go above 20mph you know :D

[@victoraraya1009]

Muy buen cover Sr Kello Glez yo tmbn llevo años tocando el Bass y a todo dar usted k pone en alto el nombre de México saludos desde Sonora

[@kellogc]

Muchas gracias! Abrazo 👊🏻😊

[@МихаилЛесков-я9с]

It is strange to play triplets with two fingers at the end)) The "Steve Harris' tecnique"?! ))))) I prefer (and I practise) tecnique of Alex Webster, who plays 8/8 with three fingers))) Both of them don't seek the easiest way to play bass.

[@kellogc]

👊🏻

[@mikemartin6857]

Boy that bass line lines up great with Lars drumming on this track!
Back in my old band it was like heaven on those nights me and my bass player took a few shots before a show and we would really get in the pocket 2gether and rock out!!!! 🎯💯 great job brother!

[@kellogc]

They’re definitely grooving! Thanks! 👊🏻☺️

[@MatteoDelGaone]

I literally searched for a bass cover of this song because after listening to the original one, I was like "where is the bass??" Why did they mix Rob's bass like that?

[@kellogc]

Not really sure why 🤘🏻🙃

[@Giambijuice]

Typed in Lux Eterna bass, and knew from the thumbnail this dude would crush it. And you totally did brother. Is that a wal hanging behind you? Should be in a safe somewhere, lol. Rock on dude, and be safe

[@kellogc]

Thank you very much! It is indeed a Wal MK2. 🤘🏻😉

[@waterfordMARTIN]

Never realized how much job does bass guitar in any song..now am gonna listen more carefuly 😉 ..noice job man

[@kellogc]

Thank you 👊🏻

[@montauta]

Gracias parcero Kello, por sacar el bajo a flote. En la mezcla de Metallica quedó (a mi parecer) hundido en las profundidades. Me recordó al pobre Jason en el AJFA.
Un abrazote desde Bogotá, Colombia.

[@kellogc]

Abrazo parcero! 👊🏻

[@AntonioVideo]

I like the new song, it's like a modern version of Hit The Lights 🤘🏻and it's a fun and easy song to play along with.

[@comicfire]

The title translating to Eternal Light really seals the deal there! Definitely a victory lap after 40 years, super looking forward to the rest!

[@muriloninja]

Nice cover considering you cannot hear the bass at all in the track so classic Metallica BS! Rob cannot figure out or battle with them to be heard properly it seems.

[@kellogc]

👊🏻😉

[@stonedoutloco]

Couldn't hear Robs bass in the video and this clears things up. Migwetch big homie

[@kellogc]

Thanks 🤘🏻

[@buaidhnobas1ify]

Hey Kello. I've been watching you, on YT that is, for some time now and I still lack the talent that you have. Yes, it was my small brain thinking that I can have the same finger strength that you have just by watching. What can I say, I'm lazy. So, with that said, what motivates you when you play? Yours truly, Want A Be Bass Player.

[@kellogc]

Playing motivates me. I love all things bass, different makes and brands along with their different timbres and tones, exploring different techniques and sounds, playing with effects, and the different roles and approaches bass Can take within the context of a song. Music offers an almost limitless opportunity to continue learning and growing. It’s up to us to leverage that 👊🏻😉

[@buaidhnobas1ify]

@@kellogc Thank you for replying back to me. I wish I had that kind of drive. The kind that finds something new and see how far it can take me. I find something that can challenge me, dip my toes in to see what it's like, then move on to the next thing that catches my eye. You know, like a cat. It is nice to have a place I can go read how others can do amazing work so, keep it up so I can visit more.

[@matejkadlec2110]

Wait. Is it really bass cover? I thought this is the bass track they forgot to put in the mix!

[@kellogc]

🤘🏻🙃🤘🏻

[@treverpitts]

Who agrees that Metallica should turn their face up because hearing this cover puts in the low bottom end that is missing from Metallica's music Metallica is always kind of flat when it comes to the bottom end

[@kellogc]

I wouldn’t mind them putting a little more bass on the mix 🙈

[@treverpitts]

@@kellogc to me their music has always been a little flat lacking face

[@j.rolfsted]

DAMNED!!! "Fill in with praising words here". Because I am lost for them 😍😃🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 I was blown away yesterday when I heard the original, and now THIS Cover keeps me flying 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kellogc]

Thank you. The song is indeed awesome 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@BigMuff75]

My theory - this song is inspired by 2 Minuts to Midnight by Iron Maiden.^^

[@kellogc]

It sounds more Motörhead influenced to me, but they’re also into Maiden so it some mix could be there 🤘🏻

[@mrlovegod21]

Blimey,that was quick.bass cover already.

Not a fan of Metallica, except Cliff Burton RIP and Rob Trujillo. Rob was hired because he played finger style like Cliff and has played with Suicidals and Infectious Grooves. That bass solo at the end sounds exactly like how Rob plays. That was impressive dude.

This bass cover is legitimately so good I've used it in conjunction with an isolated bass version to beef up some of the quieter parts of the original and I don't think you could legit tell the difference between the cover and the original so you're amazing bruv good work keep it up 👍

Chingonsote como siempre Kello pero tengo una pregunta, ese es el sonido natural del bajo o usas alguna distorsión tipo darkglass? tu tono es impecable.

[@kellogc]

Un poco de ambos. Mezclo el sonido limpio con un poco de saturación usando una Line6 Helix (usando un bloque de B7k)

[@kenhough9507]

Song is out a little over 24 hours and BAM. Fantastic, as always! Always inspired by your playing and covers 🤘🤘🤘 Now, I'd love to see someone toss a little bass solo in from around 0:13 - 0:20 to really give it a more Cliff-esc old school vibe 😁

The Bass is too fast and I guess this speed of Bass is not very common in other previous songs of Metallica. Steve Harris comes to my mind listening this Bass
